    How about some of London Village - work as opposed to play. A bit of a lamp theme

    What if the Hokey Cokey is what it's all about?

    ^ Very nice.
    Getting back to the Local theme, and i thought when you Brits said "Local" it was short for local pub or neighborhood bar as they'd say around here.

    Yah! I know your type!
    We use local to mean both hostilely and 'ere abouts'. As in ' a local man today lost his wallet when he encountered a loose woman in a bar'. 'Local Colour' means interesting characters from the immediate community as in ' are those two a couple of Prossies or just a bit of local colour out for a bit of skip n tickle?'

    Love the beginning scene in "My Fair Lady".  Professor Higgins, "......Set a good example for people whose English is painful to your ears, The Scotch and the Irish leave you close to tears, There  are even places where English completely disappears, Why, In America, they haven't used it for years.....Why can't the English learn to speak?!"

    Fab pictures Iuventus! Thank You! This is exactly what I was hoping for.....we all come from such diverse places and have other diverse interests and jobs, but we' re all here cos we have great taste in music...I just think it's fascinating to see where we all live. I shall post some pics soon, just waiting for a sunny day... :-<

    Yeah, this was a good idea- cool pics! Here's one of my locals I hit after kayaking. It's an open cabin in the middle of a swamp, haha.

    That's me on the floor next to him. ;) that's a man on guitar. If I were to use my actual camera rather than my shitty iPhone camera, you could tell! I need to start bringing my real camera to places so we can all see what the fuck is going on. :)

    @iuv I love how you positioned the lizard's ass so it's tail would hang of the edge..nice work.

    That or he just looks like a girl.

    Rizzo, on the other hand, is clearly photogenic, and a little promiscuous.

    I like the way you present your tail PG. Has that ever been said to you before ??
