Glasgow, Scotland based SFFH fan and sometimes conrunner. Less so these days since disabilities have worsened. Happy to eat tofu, not ashamed to be “woke”. Trans rights matter, queer rights matter, if you think otherwise, awa’ an bileyerheid.

(This was in England. That’s relevant.)

I don’t work now for health reasons. When I did though, the thing I used to say most frequently was, “Just a wee jag.”

At least until, after several months, someone eventually told me, “No one here knows what on earth that means …”

Have I got the wrong person or is this not the person who was in the LibDem part of the Coalition who was jubilant about throwing benefits recipients under the bus in order to get a tax on plastic bags?

When you see this, post an image from your gallery to describe your mental health.

Don't you love budget day and the whole capitalist carnival…?

/s
Doctor Who: The Sun Makers — The Doctor, played by Tom Baker, is crouching down to confront the Collector (Henry Woolf), a small bald individual whose face is in what seems to be a permanent unpleasant grimace. He is the very unacceptable face of capitalism incarnate.

“You’ll be visited by three spirits.”

The three spirits:
Doctor Who: William Hartnell, Jon Pertwee & Patrick Troughton as the First, Third and Second Doctors respectively (publicity shot for “The Three Doctors”).

Happy 62nd birthday to Doctor Who!
The first Doctor, William Hartnell, wearing his astrakhan hat, a scarf flung back over the top of his cloak; he is in a junkyard and to his right in front of him is a wheel of some sort, to his left behind him a battered statue of a woman carrying something on her head. He looks mildly annoyed…

I only just noticed this label. It’s on an item I got a while ago. Spoiler: it isn’t a kitchen sink strainer (it’s actually an accessory for a wheelchair). I’m glad got the thing I ordered!
A faint and blurred image of text (this is largely down to the quality of the printing) which reads Tomario Kitchen Sink Strainer, Plug 78mm.

Nock Loose: a brightly coloured paperback cover with the title in large red letters surrounded by imagery including a strangely garbed person (possibly a woman) shooting an arrow from bottom left towards top right, some figures wearing armour riding in the back of a pickup truck, one waving a torch while a town seems to be on fire, a severed hand, a pair of lances (one turning into a tree, one skewering what look like marshmallows), two archery targets, a can of beer, a bottle with an apple on the label, and a burning apple.

Today is the day for preorders coming in. That’s a lovely cover for Daughters of Darkness (someone described that film as “sumptuous” and that’s a perfect word for it).
Two box sets, one lying on top of the other. The background one is Daiei Gothic (“Three ghost stories newly restored in 4K”). The one on top is Daughters of Darkness, a film by Harry Kümel (“UK blu ray premiere”). Its cover features a large illustration of Delphine Seyrig, beautiful and glamorous, and beneath that a group of three figures, most prominently Andrea Rau who is dressed deceptively primly. In the foreground a naked blonde woman lies prone on a bed, partially wrapped in sheets.

Have you seen this Ea-Nasir T-shirt listing and the comment someone left on it?
Etsy listing for a T-shirt: brown, bearing the following text in white above a block of smaller text – “DO NOT PURCHASE COPPER INGOTS FROM THIS MAN “Ea-nasir is running a scam” A 5-star review below the T-shirt listing…. The review is in cuneiform.

Black and white image: In the foreground in right profile a beautiful young blonde woman in an expensive dress is sitting at a heavy old dining table, an empty plate in front of her. At the head of the table, to her left and facing us, is a cadaverously thin old man, perhaps slightly effete. In his hands he has carving implements with which to attack the joint of meat in front of him. With his right hand, while holding the knife, he is sliding a porcelain dish of potatoes towards the young woman. He is saying, “Have a potato.” (Sadly neither pictures nor words can really convey the delicious delivery of the line, to experience that you’ll just need to watch The Old Dark House (1932) and see and/or hear Ernest Thesiger and Gloria Stuart and the rest of the excellent cast in that sublime film.)

It looks like a fucking brothel. And not a classy one, either.
Post from another site by Donald J. Trump (@realDonald Trump) Some of the highest quality 24 Karat Gold used in the Oval Office and Cabinet Room of the White House.

That is a very good film. Weird there’s no GIFs, isn’t it? Here’s a plain image though.
Black and white image: in the background in profile, George Clooney, in the foreground in semi profile, David Strathairn. Across the bottom of the image in white and red lettering, “Good Night, and Good Luck”.

Share a preacher, priest, or nun.
Fabrizio Jovine as Father Thomas (or at least his undead form) in Paura nella città dei morti viventi. He has a thin face, and is wearing a priest’s cassock and collar. The cassock is filthy and grimy, as you expect from his clawing his way out of the grave. In the dark image he is lit from beneath with a violet-tinted light, lending him a very sinister aspect (entirely justified).
