The Knights of Royal England

Yesterday I went to a jousting festival at Urqhart Castle overlooking Loch Ness. No sign of Nessie, but a great day all round anyway.

The first arrival was the very funny and effective commentator for the day:



The kids got involved as fighters for the King:




Then the knights arrived, and the fun began:






More, or a link to more pics, during the week.

Grafitti for/from idiots

Really clever photo

This is on a poster at work, and I find it really amusing.

Priceless...

Three names = Assassin!

Someone really needs to lighten up. :-D

During an appearance on CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman," Jerry Seinfeld said Lapine was accusing his wife of "vegetable plagiarism" and compared her to the three-name killers of John Lennon and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

"If you read history, many of the three-name people do become assassins," Seinfeld said. "Mark David Chapman. And you know, James Earl Ray. So that's my concern."

His lawyers said in court papers filed late Tuesday: "No reasonable viewer could have thought that Seinfeld really meant that Lapine ... might become an `assassin' simply because she has three names."

If you go doon to the toon today ....

You could be in for an odd surprise

Stormin' Norman is a 10-year-old African sulcata tortoise who is turning heads by wandering through the streets of Aberdeen.

Owner Dianne Melville - who runs a reptile shop - walks with him, but she said Stormin' Norman decides his route.

He goes out several times a day, and is photographed by bemused locals and tourists who see him.

I shall be keeping an eye out, and bring you pics if I see him.

Anyone lose a plane?

Plane unclaimed at Hanoi

:-D

Vietnamese authorities say they are mystified as to who owns a Boeing 727 which has been abandoned at Hanoi's Noi Bai airport.

Airline charges by the pound!

Derrie-Air Exposed

And it's not even in Nor'n Ireland! :-D

(I don't know what random ads you get when you view it.. 2 out of the 3 I got were for weight loss programs :-D)

Hail to the Pelican Paparazzi!

At the end of January I visited Florida, and saw my first pelicans, among other animals I will no doubt display here shortly.
I had a few friends with me, some of them photographers, and a funny sight we must have made as we crowded round one poor pelican, each waiting for 'the perfect pose'. My daughter laughed aloud to see this particular one, so I thought I'd share it.


Dedicated to all the Pelican Paparazzi - you know who you are, and I love you all.
