It is good that you were able to get the photos out of your phone. It is a nice eclectic mix of things.
ReplyDeleteI like the kitten with the Hitler mustache. We heard about that and I still couldn't believe people wouldn't adopt it just because of that. Poor kitteh.
Cool photos. Did you remember they were all there or were there any pleasant surprises as they uploaded?
ReplyDeleteNikos,
ReplyDeleteThat's a neat time capsule you've found. I had the same thing, only there were pictures of me putting things on my head and a picture of Calm Down - a pet relaxant made, basically, out of beef flavoring and alcohol. I want to be a pet.
I also dig on that BMW. Sexy little machine.

Nikos:
ReplyDeleteGreat photos my friend! Those Aussie Postie bikes take part in an annual outback charity ride - 5000 km in 10 days or thereabouts. I still harbour the dream to do it. A friend crashed and had to withdraw 2 years ago.
Snap! I got a battery-powered helicopter from Santa for Xmas 2010 too! Huge fun!
The Bogus Batoid, a 'personal submarine' powered by a human flapping its wings. You gotta love that. I'm already working up a script for a sequel to Das Boot, featuring a now senile and even more demented Obermaschinist Johann single-handedly seeking revenge on the people who sunk his beloved U-96.
ReplyDeleteThat's not any Postie Bike, that's Dorothy! You can be her friend on Facebook :)

@Irondad
Surprises and shocks!
@Brady
'Calm Down'? Interesting....
@ Geoff
Can you take off from the coffee table and land on the goldfish tank without hitting the hanging light fitting?
@ Gadjo
Have you interested Spielberg yet?
@HWL
Surely a better name would be 'Sheila'? -;O
Nikos,
ReplyDeleteIn taking off from the coffee table and trying to muster the cats with it, I'm very good at clipping the other occupants in the room and threatening delicate nick-nacks. My incompetence is legendary.
@Geoff
ReplyDeleteSteady on the old throttle....
Interesting photos. Nice pics coming from a phone.
ReplyDeletevery nice pics again! the caleidocope was fun!! very nice winterpic in tetton ! What a crative man you are ;O)
ReplyDeleteNice to see that the Ashmolean offers a respectable tea-plate - but just one scone? One of the most enjoyable cream teas I have experienced was with Jennifer at the Adelphi in Liverpool - what the scone lacked in subtlety was certainly made up for its size, and Jennifer in particular always enjoys a big one.
ReplyDeleteI didn't care for the afternoon tea at Reid's in Funchal, despite its reputation, and my current favourite is Bob Bob Ricard's, in Soho.
But, I mourn the demise of the cream horn - so difficult to get hold of these days.
I think the way you have Photoshopped that last photo is brilliant....a helicopter splash-landing in Lake Custard.......
ReplyDeleteDear Nikos:
ReplyDeleteI think of our meeting and the resulting dinner often. I regret you are not closer to my current address.
This was certainly an eclectic collection of photos. I had a similiar experience, when I to connected a Droid "Incredible" phone via a cable connection to my Mac. It triggered iPhoto and downloaded all this cool stuff that I forgot I had.
I like the last shot best of all... But the picture of the German's running riot in the street after winning the soccer game is so typical.

ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by from down under.
@ Miss Jessop
I'm devastated to note that my humble blogette is meeting with your decency standards again.

ReplyDeleteconsumate skill my dear boy
Dear Jack
ReplyDeleteI'm honoured to receive comment from you especially as you are under 25ft of snow according to the UK Tabloid press.
We'll meet again!
What a wonderful treasure trove of images. I admit that I am not terribly impressed with the Germans after winning the football game. So tame. ;)
ReplyDeleteBut I love the kaleidscope of Mrs. Nikos.
