Somehow I don't believe she's even a machine operator.

From what I can see in the pic, it's staged.

Open toe street shoes, and not a spec of grime on the smock or her gloves and the machine, which would normally have all sorts of lubricant run off and grime on it is spotless as well.

Glad to see they are wearing their safety fedoras and Florsheims.

You want to be reasonably well dressed when you go to meet you maker.

Imagine you're the pilot of a British-operated, Boeing 314 Clipper crossing the Atlantic in early-1942. Your passenger insists on having a go at the controls, but you can't really say no.

He was a hell of a character, who lived an incredible life.

Churchill suffered with depression his whole life. Called it "the Black Dog". And yet he became Lord of the Admiralty, Prime Minister, a widely published author and successful journalist, and (aside from the whole Gallipoli business, which was a serious farkin' misstep) an inspiration to his people.

Hell of an orator, great motivator, and a capable man with gobs of wonderful English eccentricities. Our species was lucky to have him.

The man wasn't wrong. Keep your feet. Keep moving. If you get knocked down, get back the fvck up. Repeat until you go in the box. Good strategy.

How do I view these photos. None are showing up.

 

[Dark Alley Dan]

Welcome, bud.

This might have something to do with your settings. What are you seeing? Any text in lieu of pics, or just an absence of pictures?

No problem viewing on Google Chrome.
