Thursday evening open thread

  Pretty quiet here; what about where you are? It looks like we might get more rain tonight, after a nice sunny day, which is the way to do ...

Saturday in Sidneyland 🧡🎁

 


How are you this fine Emoji Day? 😻😼😽😺😸🐱‍πŸ‘€πŸ±‍🏍🐱‍πŸ’»πŸ±‍πŸ‰πŸ±‍πŸ‘“πŸ±‍πŸš€ These cats live in Disneyland but there is this really big mouse that still eludes them.

🍫🍊A little while back I bought a box of Orange After Eights. They added a bit of orange flavour to mint wafer-thin chocolates. Kind of ok, not unpleasant but you do wonder what it adds to the experience. Just not quite right. The other morning I started to wonder what it would be like to add one to a bowl of muesli when I stuck it in the microwave? I have not put that thought to the test. Yet.πŸ™

🐱‍πŸ‘“ Street Cat Bob Statue Unveiled.

 πŸ±‍🏍Blue Cat. We had a cat called Blue at the old firm. Much loved by the old lags, he went to live with the Matron after the place closed down.

🏰 Largest Sandcastle in the World.

πŸ₯£ Sticky Toffee Pudding. I prefer Treacle Pudding myself.

🐐 Don't tell New York, they will eat everything. Meanwhile, due to overpopulation on the Orme, some of the Llandudno goats are being sent to Bristol and Bournemouth. It would be nice if they gave us some too.

😑 Sex Pistols in Court Battle.  Time was Johnny Rotten traded on being seen in "a hostile and unflattering light". Still, I would like to see Walt Disney's Sex Pistols. That's a sketch challenge if you are lurking Squirrel. It's Disneyland's birthday today. The amusement park opened in 1955 and what better way to rebrand for the 21st Century than with a Seventies-styled Vivienne Westwood bondage gear attraction.

The day I went to Disneyland, I had a terrible hang-over. Drinking that much tequila is not sensible. Came back to life eventually and managed the rides without being sick. Their fried chicken was awful though. Disneyland Cats.  

πŸ‘¨πŸΌ‍πŸŽ“ UK's oldest graduate.

πŸ‘Ή Welsh Mythology Quiz. I got a measly 5/10 on this. 

πŸ”⛰ Don't trust Google maps for that walk up Ben Nevis

πŸ•Ή Scraping Social Media.

πŸŒΌπŸ‚ Mystery Botanist identified.

🌞 Somebody tell me how chilly we've got it.

🚘 πŸ¦πŸ‘πŸ₯¦ Today is also variously National Woodie Wagon Day, Peach Ice Cream Day, Strawberry Rhubarb Wine Day, Toss Away the "Could Haves" and "Should Haves" Day, and National Tattoo Day.

🎨Punch is why we call cartoons, well, cartoons. In 1843, the Houses of Parliament were to be decorated with murals, and preparatory sketches, or "cartoons", were displayed for the public. This coincided with a period of great poverty in London, cholera outbreaks, and grumbles over payments given to the Duke of Cumberland. They might have been starving, but they had this groovy art exhibition to attend. After John Leech's Substance and Shadow sketch, humourous drawings would forever be cartoons. 


  

 πŸ· Finally, Yellow Pig Day is a mathematical celebration of the number 17. Take it away Count!

πŸŽ€πŸŽ™πŸ“£πŸ“’πŸ”Š Usual drill!
