We constantly hit new heights in the this place don't we? These are as good as it gets. Bravo. I love how they work as well individually as they do together. Impressed.

That's no woman! That's the Schutter in drag! (Our hero wrestles Penny to the ground madly pulling at her hair)
Yah well, he can't have that shower pouf headpiece!
The toilet paper dress stuck in my head from those ads, for some brand of toilet paper, can't recall which one thought?? and designers made dresses out of toilet paper which were then featured on a model in the ad.
Just more advertising, I did not get!
Oh, and the way her legs I crossed, "I gotta go pee" was the first thought in my head, and from there????? The bathroom centric theme!
oh yeah
you can watch one toilet paper ad here

I just can't do any better than the literalist this morning, but that's because Old John's very first effort has stolen all of my usual thunder. "Shot by both sides". Brilliant.
Yeah and he nabbed the chewing gum thing too. Curse you Old John!
Have folks here popped in to John's blog? It's in the somebodies list on the church page. Wonderful photography.
John, is it cool if I pop one in here? It may be interesting for you to see what people make of it. Or it may not, ha ha. Who knows?
ha ha! thanks and sorry folks i'm not usually as quick to enjoyment haiku as that. Help yourself to a photo Nobody, it sounds good to me. Cheers for now.
Doriana Grey,

Munch's 'Scream' locked away.
good one noby :)...
fyi
smoking mirrors comments working again.
y, i've been by john's place.. beautiful photography.. cinematic even :)
Hey Matey,
Yeah, I love John's blog. For me it's a personal thing. It reminds me of the year I spent in Wiltshire as a kid running around in the woods. It was really quite magical. And it's all there in John's photos.
John, I was talking to a fellow the other day about the Somerset accent. Is that what it's called? Do you have it? I'm not having a go at you or anything. Some English accents grate (and I include new world English here), but some are almost musical. Or something. Wait! Mellifluous - that's the word I was looking for. Anyway, for mine, that Western burr is the latter. Yoroshiku.
Orlroight muy luvvurrs!
I don't have a Somerset accent but then i'm from Hampshire and have lived in Devon for about 20 years though the family comes from Dorset and Scotland. The accents change quickly between places here and i'm not really sure what mine is now but a Devon person would spot me as a foreigner right away. I have a debben maid (Devon maid) right here with me and she talks proper Devon.
briefly:
innumm - aren't they/him
wunnum - wouldn't they/him
dinnum - didn't they/him
inner - isn't she/her
dinner - didn't she/her
wunner - wouldn't she/her
and of course a "z" in zider/cider. Theres plenty more but I think you get the idea.
The other important thing here is class of course. To some people I sound posh because I say parth as in path but that was just normal where I came from and posh people can spot me for the commoner that I am as soon as I open my mouth. It's very complicated but at least we all know our place.
Bristol is a good example of a city with lots of different cultural influences where the accent is still really strong, if you hear Tricky speak that is proper Bristol and right West Country it is too.
I have spent some time in Wiltshire, mostly because of the monuments and it is magical there still as it is here but I think you have to look a bit harder for it these days as the tentacles of London spread ever further out and pollute things.
apologies for lengthy comment.
cheers for now.

Noby, you passing out the bongos and striped long sleeve sweaters in here?
I'll have a cup of that chablis and some shades if you please.
Bong, ba ba ba-bong.
Fantastic. Ta John that was cool. And I take it that an 'inner sanctum' would be an all-male affair? Also, I wasn't making a point about Wiltshire per se. That just happened to be the bit of England I lived in. And class? Well, my brush with it wasn't pleasant. I was a colonial, which is to say OAR-stralian. What class is that? Not a good one, I expect.
And hooly dooly Nina, this one lit a fire under your creative cauldron. Me - rapt. Wrapped in my scarf and beret! And no chablis here darling. Semillon is our tipple, doncha know.
Silliness aside, I declare this week's effort the best yet. Everyone completely topped themselves. Bravo all.
