Have another go

I've reposted the slideshows in Legion and Profile. I still can't see them, but if you can't either, at least now you can click on "view show" and might get a view.

Or not.

Perfect in Profile

Luckily the problem with my internet connection was only a dodgy plug on the modem cable, replaced for a mere £10, so I'm back.

And Photobucket let me make a slideshow - though for some reason I cannot fathom, though I change the default "medium" size to large before saving them, at the moment they are still saving as medium. Obviously computer grammar is as hit-or-miss as linguistic grammar! I don't think it's displaying, though, so try clicking on the Photobucket and it should take you through to the site.

Anyway, here's the beautiful Vincent D'Onofrio (come on, Google alerts) in side view, tempting us with the sweet, perfect nose that was once said by some self-styled "expert" on acting not to be "an actor's nose"!

His Talents Are Legion

It has taken me a long time just to get a few pictures together so we will have to satisfy ourselves with a small selection of pictures from the early scenes of Legion.If the Orange website ever loads, I will try to order myself a new modem.

Slow, Slow, Quick, Quick, Slow

My broadband modem appears to have got buggered up, so I am reduced to Dial-Up till I figure it out or replace it. So my connection is very slow, and it is costing me per minute, so I have to be quick.

Today I went with my friend Susanna and her mother to visit a friend of theirs who has Alpacas. There was a baby just 2 weeks old (though you'd never believe it to see how big he is up against last years youngsters) and I fell in love.























Pipkin is a light tan sort of a colour, and his mother is almost black. It's difficult to see the colours because the light was so bad (it has been p***ing with rain all day).

Legion

Crouching Bobby, Dancing Goren

Well, this is lame - and it may not even display. Photobucket has seized up, and is refusing even to acknowledge the format in which I've saved this slideshow!

Shock Horror!

I have deleted several files of Vincent photos from my computer! They are safely (I hope) saved to my plug-in hard drive.

I just have this terrible fear that without this actual computer to plug into, the pictures won't display. And I'm too scared to find out!

There may be a theme here

Or more than one. See if you can spot any.

Grammar Lesson

Ladies, I'm shocked! Do you mean you never sat in a fascinating English lesson parsing sentences? Starting simply with subject and verb, then building up via subject and object to subject and predicate (the whole lump of stuff that comes after the verb) we parsed to our hearts' content on a weekly basis.

Mr Doherty, our lovely, soft-spoken Irish teacher of English, was a favourite, and we would have enjoyed copying out the Bible for him. He introduced us to Pygmalion and Gerald Durrell, Macbeth and debating. We had him for just a year, when we were 12-13 years old.

In computerspeak I have always assumed that when something fails to parse, it means that the grammar of the code is not being read properly. But I could so easily be wrong.

Excess Baggage

As I did over 500 stills from Baggage I thought I'd share a few more shots of the luscious man of our dreams.
