Barry Island in August (cellwair….ish)

Alright then, ’tis a fair cop guvner, it’s not August, it’s the end of November when dogs are allowed on the beach and the wind is bloody cold and the sea is cold… everything’s cold

• the foghorns, give the boys some rocks to climb and watch them go
• barry beach…..cold
• biscuit?… don’t mind if I do
• traditional arty photo
• run..run…boing….boing

Apparently the island was also a location for Doctor Who in the episodes “The Empty Child” and “The Doctor Dances”, standing in for a bomb site in 1941 London. Now I’m not one to say “didn’t have to change much” but….

Messin’ ’round

The view from the back garden – 1 minute apart, the settings have been messed with methinks

 

 

The Sand Dance

In the best tradition of broadcasting we must start with a warning run away now

People of a nervous disposition look away now, what you are about to see takes light entertainment back to the dark ages and is directly responsible for the likes of Bruce Forsyth, Simon Cowell, and that odious pile of pappekak Piers Morgan – this video contains no strobe lighting, it just feels like it with George waving the spotlight around

There’s also a Can Can but I’m not sure you’re ready for that yet,  I’m not sure that anybody is (it’s here but I won’t tell if you don’t).

On a more serious note the performers practiced for all of 9 minutes and raised over £1000 for Help for Heroes so well done them – just wear boxer shorts the next time, Wilson & Keppel did, they did NOT wear grey stripey Y-fronts.

I think that generally you just HAD to be there

I’m A Fly Trapped In A Bottle Of Shadows

God knows what the gene pool must be like in this valley, as the advertising goes ‘It’s Brains You Want’ well they won’t be finding any around here.
The following is a transcript of a genuine emergency call to South Wales Police

Control Room: “South Wales Police, what’s your emergency?”
Caller: “It’s not really. I just need to inform you that across the mountain there’s a bright stationary object.”

Control room: “Right.”

Caller: “If you’ve got a couple of minutes perhaps you could find out what it is? It’s been there at least half an hour and it’s still there.”

Control: “It’s been there for half an hour. Right. Is it actually on the mountain or in the sky?”

Caller: “It’s in the air.”

Control: “I will send someone up there now to check it out.”

Caller: “OK.”

The mystery was soon solved, as the exchange between control and an officer at the scene, makes clear.

Control: “Alpha Zulu 20, this object in the sky, did anyone have a look at it?”

Officer: “Yes, it’s the moon. Over.”
