    I'll see your brimstones, bumble bees & swallows and raise you... a blackcap, or rather two or three of them pulling some bits of grass about for their display nests*; out at shillinglee which is north-west west-sussex. * is it blackcaps that do the display nests to attract their mates and then build the proper nests together? Shouldof have looked that one up. Happy days Yourn

    You know you're getting old when you watch The Big Sleep again and Humphrey Bogart looks young.

    Or a page number. WHAT???

    I did, but its a nornbeam; its always a nornbeam.

    Yes, or maybe a location, where are they? Some of us might be local and we could nip out and have a look. Which wooden spoon? Oh! that wooden spoon. No, nothing to do with me.

    Many thanks for the offer, that's very kind of you but it's the reading that I enjoy. I try to avoid hearing voices

    Nope, me too. I realised the other day I would probably never read Dombey and Son, or Bleak House, or Lord Jim, or Tess, or The Woman in White again which made me rather sad. To answer the op: when you realise there's no point in saving your money so you can go out and buy every bloody shiney thing you ever wanted whether you need it or not and not give a damn. Happy Days!!!

    Don't worry VI, I got it and enjoyed it: a perfect juxtaposition of thread title and picture. If what you have said here and in other similar threads represents yourself truly, then, if you haven't already, I recommend you read Richard Jefferies' 'The Story of My Heart' it is quite unlike his 'usual' fare regarding Hodge and his Masters, and is a long stream of consciousness contemplating his place in the universe. Happy Days Yourn

    Thought this might be of interest to some here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-43315596

    Han't checked back but has anyone had... People Who Cycle On The Pavement.

    Oh absolutely, technically superb; though not sure about the twitching if that is meant to pretend some mental illness. I could never enjoy 'magic' tricks cos 'magic' was never an explanation for how it was done. Once, however, Penn & Teller explained how it was done, then, I could marvel at how the illusion unfolded and how the deception came about and the technical ability of the performer. But that's just me being aspy. Always happy here. Hope you are too and thanks for posting.

    And a PPS. Sorry , before you ask , no. I've long forgotten the basics of foisting the hidden card on to your accomplice. It's very simple and the art is in dressing it up in theatrics

    Ooh! Just by way of a PS, notice in the first segment how hard her fingers are pushing down on the pack of cards on the table before the top half rotates when she removes her fingers cos of being a trick pack. Sorry when she turns the pack by nothing but the power of her mind!

    Where do you want to start? At least you admit they are tricks. Tricks can be learnt: no I can't do them yet, I han't learnt them; I could do them just as easily as you could after a day spent being taught how to do them. When a woman is cut in half, do you think that the person doing it is a wonderful surgeon taking time off from Kings? Or do you think he is channeling some mystical magical vibe that enables him to do miraculous surgery and thus should be working at kings saving lives of trauma victims? Or do you think he is someone who was taught the trick by someone else and has perfected the art of making you think you are seeing what you are not? Why do you think a young girl cannot learn similar techniques? Next you'll be suggesting Sally Morgan talks to dead people.

    Only watched the first one: party tricks straight of the box with a new twist and a camera adapted for double exposures. Hence the black and white uniform to stand out against the second exposure which she takes in public. Is the rest the same? Still, if she can make a few bob from people being so easily gulled then roll over Paul Daniels, thers a new kid in town.

    Really? In this day and age? That's your reply?

    top left hand corner; superb pareidolia; one for the faces in trees thread; well done.

    <ching> (tentatively)... I thought spruce cos spruce cones hang down and fir cones hang up. Everyone knows that. But the pic of the cones is upside down cos the white side is the underside and should be down but is up. So if the pic of the cones was the right way round they would hanging up. They may still be spruce but er... that's all.
  24. Yournamehere
    I knew that. Late again!
  25. Yournamehere
    Damn! Too late! I was guessing oakhanger but han't been out that way for over forty years and had no idea they were still there. Happy days!
