The warm, welcoming sight of Mansfield's Christmas lights...

Dirty Netball

Obscenities printed on Australian Netball Team's kit...

...oooh, it shouldn't be allowed!

Separated at Birth?

When I saw this picture of Holly Willoughby with a mouthful of Maltesers, it reminded me of someone?

Amanda Lamb

Harry Hill's Amanda Lamb Song from TV Burp...

Da-Da-Da-Der

Spotted this little chap on the way to work and it reminded me of the Toyota Yaris 'Silence the City' advert featuring the Proclaimers song 'I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)'...

Get a REAL train

With all the fuss over the British West Coast Main Line at the moment, I thought I'd post this photo I took in a train station in Barcelona, where the trains are 'proper'.

Death by Hopscotch

Spotted this death defying game on a trip to Barcelona back in 2004, it's known as Hopscotch to oblivion elsewhere on the web.

Banana Bike

The great thing about this paint job, is that flecks of dirt, tar and dead insects would all add to the effect, so you'd hardly ever have to clean it!

Morph 2.0

Isn't it about time Aardman revived Morph?

Holy Double Dildo

Is it an age thing, I don't remember Spider-Man ever needing sex aids before?

Watch out Mary Jane!!!

Stepford Cars

Have you noticed how popular silver cars are nowadays?

There were another four in the line, but I couldn't get them all in the shot.

Road to Nowhere

I was taking a walk down Squires Lane in Clipstone, Nottinghamshire, when things took an unexpected turn...

Skegness

Here's a mock promotional billboard poster for the quintessential English seaside resort that is Skegness...

And here's a closeup of that Jolly Fisherman tattoo (I know you were looking)...

World War II in (partial) colour

Adding a small amount of colour to a black and white photo can sometimes make an image all the more powerful. Here's a couple I tried from WWII...

The liberation of Paris

African American regiment, the 41st Engineers, on parade

Christmas 1942, US soldiers carol singing in Iceland

World War I in (partial) colour

A little more colourising fun, here with some photos from WWI.

We all live in a 'Yellowised' submarine...

This one reminds me of the Apple iMac 'Flavour' adverts from the late 90s...

Last one in's a sissy...

Ouch...

Sergeant Stubby stands to attention...

Fun with Blondie

Another example of 'Yellowising' (I'm coining a new phrase).

Smile

Here's an excellent photo by Aisa Villarosa from Detroit, which I thought was crying out for just a spot of yellow... 

Photo Revival

Here's what I believed to be a very poor photo (taken on my phone) from a Gogol Bordello gig that I attended.

When I looked more closely, and mainly because someone was holding a can aloft, I spotted an opportunity to turn it in to an advert for Red Stripe Lager.
