Old. Married to Christine. English living in the Highlands of Scotland, where my bones will rest for eternity. Not even a tiny bit right-wing. Fairly soft and nice, I write, give film opinions, paint and design stuff, average as average can be but I try 😊

I have said several times if I was China or Russia I would send over some folk with 'diseases' let them walk around airports/railway stations etc and touch people/things and then let them come home for the cure, or knowing those two countries just let them die in the States when their work was done.

Thank you. How are you?

When I was at school, in Hampshire, I was one of two boys in the whole school who liked Rugby League, or even knew what it was, and I liked Hull Kingston Rovers because I loved their name! One day I saw a boy in the year above me wearing a Wigan RLFC scarf. I laughed at him!

I do 'em too....a small collection. 😊

David (the REAL Film Cricket ) 📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 2d

You are very kind. Also, after the evening I have had I need that, so thank you very, very much.

Send this around my friends/family on WhatsApp before posting, they are all normally over-the-top, 'Oh that's brilliant' etc. but this one got 'Not as good as your other work' for the first time ever! Anyone guess where this is? #painting #art #landscapes #artist #painter #landscapeart

We live in Scotland though and this is where my bones will lay - unless it goes full on Reform then I'm going to swim out into the North Sea until I can't anymore....😔

Thanks, coming from England that's a secret for me 😂

Yes having armed troops on the streets because you generally don't support Trumpler is possibly a bit more important of a problem at the moment.

Yup, and I would take Scottish citizenship immediately, we have lived in the Highlands for four years and are as happy as can be. My accent makes me stick out like a sore thumb and literally no one could give a toss, I think the important thing is what type of person I am! 😊

True there as some countries that do a sort of combined system that works. I have relatives that live in places that don't have full nationalised healthcare but have these type of hybrid systems and they don't complain too often. Mind you if they were extremely hard-up it might be different.

I'm hoping when Reform shuts it down for Insurance Based Health Scotland says 'No' and we all keep on as we are. Our local doctor in the Highlands is American funnily enough.

I can genuinely see it becoming the Scottish NHS only eventually.

Me too. I disliked the others and didn't even watch the last one.

David (the REAL Film Cricket ) 📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 9d

You are at the moment but when the UK dumeratia vote in Reform and Farage he wants to change the UK firearm licencing laws, so we will catch up!

Don’t ask me what I think, just look at my face and I gurn it to you…

A young woman goes hiking on her own in the Alps. She does it to cope with a traumatic and violent event in her life, to cope with the emotions and strain and to try and make sense of it. Facing he…

Excel can't take that much information...

Well that's the late Bramble framed and up on the living room wall, same wall as Chris' my wife gazing out at Weston-super-Mare pier 🥰 #art #artist #painter #landscape #portrait #catart #painting #petart #lovedones

It's like a badly written futuristic novel but it is flipping real!

I am wondering at what point wil some of those people who are basically just following along but are actually reasonably normal except for being a bit too right-wing will say 'F-me he is actually insane, we've got to stop this!'

Keep at it my friend, make more, tell stories you want to tell in your style and with your ideas. It works 😊

David (the REAL Film Cricket ) 📎 @thestrovinator.bsky.social · 18d

You deserve it Lowell, it is genuinely what I think. Great work, you tried to do something different and interesting and you were helped by your cast 👍
