Photo thread for the heck of it

[Birdseye]

While the Huns were teetering down the road in these, the Brits were enjoying wind in their teeth real sports motoring in Moggies with the same wheel layout.

The somebody went and stupidly reversed the layout.

That looks to me to be a classic JAP-engined Moggie, playing at being a speedway bike, on bitumen... We see the modern equivalent, the Bombadier Can-Am trike, all the time around here now. The difference is, of course, that in the Moggie, you could keep your sandwiches out of the bug-splats.

Great shot. That 'Moggie' is probably doing five or six times the speed of the Robin and sounding a damn sight more ferocious. Great little cars.

Just cleaned out a very old piggybank I had in the loft. . . . . Anyone got a Farthing to make the collection complete ? ? ?

Strangely ... yes!

 

Has some sort of wren on it I think from memory ... i'll have to dig through and find it but I'm over in the UK again later this year and if I find it you are entirely welcome to it. :-)

Before you go, get Phil to send you pictures of the current designs on English banknotes. Last time I went, I got notes here at home and when I got to England shops would not take them because they were not the current designs. And you can't just walk into any bank there and ask for service. They only provide service to account holders.

 

OME

My 1799 halfpenny is twice the size of your new penny.

LOL. Not a problem for us - we still have a UK account and will just use an ATM to draw current local cash ... even in Glasgow where there are SO many banks printing their own notes.

A wag at our Men's Shed made a miniature country dunny from recycled fence palings. Note the paper inside the door.

Miniature Arts degrees ( of which I have one..)?

I wouldn't be shocked if the metal in that early halfpenny is possibly worth more than the alloy in the current 50 pence piece !

I think this lady lost interest in the gardening. . .

 

 

 

[pmccarthy]

Haven't you ever tipped something upside down to get the last drops out?

Flat stomach and no stretch marks. She's doing something right.

I emailed the photo to my son to his work email address. Got blasted for sending such stuff to a business address.

 

Now, if anybody can explain to me how the photo is rude, crude, altogether offensive, demeaning to women etc etc, I'll be a much wiser man.

OME, despite the slightly unusual take on breastfeeding, it might be seen that the purpose of sending the pic is purely for titillation, and hence objectionable.

Could also be the whole issue with pictures of naked women in the workplace...

 

 

[Deskpilot]

Did you notice that her ankles 'appear' to be tied to the tree. Maybe she's into a little bondage sexually as well as perentally.

Now there's the rub!

I found that the picture, especially with a caption "Good to the last drop", tickled my sense of humour. Since the word "titilate" derives from the Latin "to tickle", I would say that my response was not objectionable. If you examine the presentation of the woman, you will see that no parts of her body usually associated with erotica are displayed. I think the humour of the image derives from the actions of the mother/baby combination. The woman is engaging in a normal recreational activity while at the same time providing for the baby.

 

To say that "the purpose of sending the pic is purely for titillation" calls into question the mindset of the person saying it.

OME, I was just trying to rationalise why someone would find it objectionable in the work place, and my use of "titillation" was a bit tongue-in-cheek.

 

In the work place though it all comes down to how others may perceive it. My theory is that if there is any chance of offence, then keep it away from work. I recently had to performance manage someone out of our organisation, and the employee was angry and looking at every opportunity to bring me down. I had an "equal opportunity" complaint filed against me and a restraint sought through Fair Work Australia for bullying. Not much fun, but luckily there was no ammunition that could be used against me, so all claims failed. Now, this person had access to my work emails as part of their job, and if pics like this had turned up I guarantee they would have been used against me.
