So, some pics that we couldn’t load up this weekend.
I found a way of loading them from emails, on to Facebook and copying them from Facebook and posting them on here.
It’s doable but a massive plaster and takes ages.
I must find another way.

Ziggy looking much better.

MUNGUIN'S NEW REPUBLIC 
Hi, tris. You’ve uploaded some good pictures there. Always nice to see the flora and fauna of Srem.
The last time we saw Dave’s pic 5, I checked on the internet and found out that the Hagelauer car dealership is still trading in Heilbronn. 1949 of course was the year that the western powers allowed the introduction of a new currency in their zones of occupation, the Deutschmark. The Soviets replied in kind with the Ostmark, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Dondon: The rep[eat of No 5 is my fault, not Dave’s. I found it in my pics and forgot we had used it.
Yeah… good stuff from Kay too. Lovely picture and what is that brightness… sunshine maybe?
Does that still exist?

Zippy is looking very imperious there. Much more regal than Cam, is she channelling lampshade chic? That outfit is bit like those doll loo roll covers you used to get!

Yep. Ziggy definitely looking down his nose.
I was trying to remember what Parker Bowles reminded me of. I think you nailed it.
The frock looks like it could do with a good wash.

And if you thought Ziggy was majestic then check out Willow, who is a breed that wordpress isn’t letting me post as the second word is offensive though they are also known as Maine Shag which is it allowing!

It appears that the alternative name for these cats is equally potentially offensive.

OT, I just read that Labour has dropped NHS not for sale, from their manifesto.

I wonder why that doesn’t come as a surprise. I must be something of a psycho, well Jags fan, because even as a young man I never trusted the Labour Party. And watching the shenanigans in Glasgow City Chambers at close hand in the 70/80, I never will.

I believe it was pretty much the same in Dundee. Labour ran Dundee for a long time and corruption and crime were at the heart of it all.
There were some good people in Labour, once upon a time though.
But bit by bit, since Thatcher, they seem to have, bit by bit, disappeared.

Dundee enjoyed a fair degree of notoriety long before Thatcher. According to local legend, the Arctic Bar was the effective seat of local government in the early 60’s.

Same in Glasgow Inverdarroch. There were eight committee rooms in the City Chambers, but most “deals” were done in No.9, the pub on the corner of Cochrane St/South Frederick St.

I suspect that “The Pub” has been the traditional place to do local “Business” across the archipelago since the mass availability of ethanol.

I’d sign, but its the Scottish Greens and I don’t like them. I think they did the dirty on the SNP, getting carried away with visions of their own importance. Though it has meant we now have John Swinney and I think he’s the better leader for where things are politically at the moment. His manifesto speech, and especially his answers to the, typically, negative press, were very good

Fair enough, Tatu.
John Swinney is a competent man… and having met him,, I can say he’s also one of the most polite and charming guys you could hope to meet.
He’s head and shoulders above Patrick Harvey or any of the leaders of the branches of the British parties.

Interesting image of Dave’s old radio, is it his? Does it still work, or has the original valves been swopped for semiconductors?
I’ve not long bought three old “portable” valve radios, an idea for a winter project.
The Cam looks ridiculous, pull her up by the umbrella and more folds of the frock will cascade down.

The thing about the Parker Bowles woman is that the bottom part of her lampshade looks a different colour… as if it’s dirty.
Can’t help thinking she’s off to a fancy dress party. Seriously who the hell would go out looking like that?
