Henry V on set photos by Charlie Gray

My favourite Henry V (The Hollow Crown) pictures—the very talented Mr. Charlie Gray was given time and access to take some incredible shots. You can see more of his work here: http://www.charlie-gray.com/

if this eggplant gets less than 5 million notes i’m going to be so upset

Reblogging because eggplant

Fewer than 5 million notes. Fewer. Not less. 

I believe that it is called an  aubergine. 

IN AMERICA WE LET EGGS BE PLANTS BECAUSE FREEDOM

In Britain we let those AUBERGINES live once we heal them with our FREE HEALTH CARE

NOBODY CARES, ENGLAND

at least America came up with their own word and didn’t steal ours

you used the wrong flag France

Hey! Hey, guys! Canada likes eggplants - or aubergine - what ever you want to call it - too!

Can we be included in this!?

Tumblr is the only place I can think of where a picture of an eggplant turns into a battle between countries.

I can never not reblog this post

The double negative, it hurts!  But can’t NOT reblog this.  Just … can’t.

(As requested: Lies about punctuation, now in convenient rebloggable form.)

I have so, SO much respect for our space correspondent, and the stuff about the Oxford Kama is excellent; but I feel compelled to disagree with the final point most vehemently. The Oxford comma is an abomination, an atrocity that should never, ever be perpetrated upon our beautiful language. I assure you, Stalin, JFK and the strippers would agree.

I wonder, sometimes, what it must be like to be you. Does it hurt to be so terribly wrong? Can you feel the sheer barbarity of your position crawling like oily mites beneath your skin? When you catch your own eye in a reflection, is it like gazing into a veritable abyss of poor choices? Are you kept awake at night by the baleful spectral howls of every writer who, when ordering a list, prioritized other factors over ease of punctuation?

Let’s be honest here. The Oxford comma only increases comprehension and never dilutes it. Not once. Whereas a lack of it can confound readers. Therefore there is logically, stylistically, and objectively no good reason why it should ever be done without.

It is my considered opinion that Thor could totally and easily beat the Hulk in a fight.

Oho. I see what you did there.

I’ll be over here, in the corner, cracking up.

bordertownseries:

When the Bordertown books first came out, in the 1980s, readers used to throw Borderland dance-and-music events, turning warehouses and other spaces into the Dancing Ferret for a night. (‘Kind of like the pop-up city raves of today. Bordertown lovers are pioneers, as always!)

Here’s a picture taken at a Dancing Ferret night in Los Angeles, sometime in the ’80s.

So who’s game to do this now…?

My tribe, my wasabi brothers……Alex and Christian.  So cool to see them pop up here.  What goes unmentioned above is that most of these events were also charity fundraisers.  Because that’s how the Horn Dances :)

J.Nowill and Sons Fairbairn Sykes Knife

• Overall Length: 292mm
• Blade Length: 176mm
• Blade: Blued High Carbon
• Handle: Painted Alloy
• Weight: 220gms

The Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife was designed by Captains W.E. Fairbairn and E.A. Sykes at the Commando Special Training Centre, located in the Scottish Highlands at Achnacarry. Both former members of the Shanghai Police Force, Fairbairn and Sykes had returned to England at the beginning of the Second World War, where they were commissioned as Captains to instruct British Commandos in knife fighting, unarmed combat, and self defence. The knife was adopted by the British Army and soon proved extremely popular with British special forces. It has seen service in every conflict involving British forces since the Second World War and remains in service today, over sixty years after it was first adopted.

Should anyone be curious, this is my FAVOURITE knife ever.  The picture floating around (“Fight Like A Girl”) of me w/a blade is the “baby Fairbairn” version of this…..

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side.
