I put nothing on here my eldest daughter would be ashamed of me for, if she joined and saw it.
Apart from the bit about the mashed potato sandwich she ate.

I've pushed this restoration and recolourisation as far as it will go. Autochrome of an unknown red haired woman by Arnold Genthe around 1906. The Lumière brothers began commercially making Autochrome plates in 1907, so Genthe likely made his own using their 1903 patent. His were quite unstable.

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

Saw a rare photo floating about on here. Vincent Price alongside Anna May Wong, Frederic Tozere and Mackay Morris for the 1937 stage production of "Turandot". The posted original was cropped greatly. Found the wider shot on a Russian account. Expanded and colourised by me. I was bored.

A solicitor, Andrew Milne has been bullying leaseholders across Sheffield into paying him extraordinary sums, with no legal basis.
Why hasn't the SRA stopped him? Because he's conducted an extraordinary campaign against the SRA. 180 complaints. Two judicial reviews.

I received an email at work that immediately went into the 'to persue later' folder. If you're aggressive, demanding, insulting, you go into that folder. It's marked 'low priority'.

In the vast majority of European countries you'd be facing a panel of judges or a judge led inquisitorial system going over the facts and evidence, rather than the adversarial with a jury where witnesses and experts are actively attacked by barristers for the prosecution & defence.

Love it when someone complains in an email that it took 4 days to address the comments on a peer review when they sent it on Friday after I left for the day & I addressed them Monday when I returned to work. I kindly pointed out they had the report since 30th Oct breaching SOPs 14 day turnaround.
