So my friend Dan got me a Lego creator set for Christmas which was yeah a bit of Surprise today Denis Challenged me to build a ship out of the Pieces from the set....This is what I came up with Gentlemen and Ladies I give you the Firebug-haus 911 Rescue drop ship
Now called FIREBUG. Housed in the old Gas Offices, this is one of a number of Leicester pubs set up during the late '80s/early '90s in large buildings vacated by other businesses e.g. BANK, O'NEILLS.

-you were?
- no, I wasn't really, that was someone else.
- what is king of the little kids?
- everyone knows what king of the little kids is. king of the little kids is that big kid, that bigger kid that runs around with a bunch of little kids…for them to do his bidding. king of the little kids in st. helens was son of the postmaster...but...I really was the real firebug.

Hiding under a leaf :-)) Held the leaf with one hand - camera in the other - and then moved myself until he was in focus - I love these bugs :-) This is as shot - increased the saturation a little to get the colour I 'saw'

La familia de los Pyrrhocoridae son llamados "teñidores algodón" debido a que sus cuerpos rojos eran aplastados junto con el algodón donde cuando se cosechaba, siendo esas manchas difíciles de eliminar .
Su mecanismo de alimentación también corta las fibras y por lo tanto afecta el crecimiento de la bola de algodón. Causaron problemas masivos en los Estados Unidos durante la revolución industrial.

There's been a lot of fires set in recent months – all by the same person, no doubt. One of our local firebugs has developed a taste for abandonment, burning down the memories I'd rather nature be left to rot and rust. This was one of my favorites, found with my wife on the week before our wedding, and revisited countless times since. It was featured in my book, Dereliction Is Better than Fiction, where I shared my photos/prose and called it Cryer's Paradise. That name comes from an old Ron Hynes song, but now all her weeping is over. She's dead and gone, like Mr. Hynes himself, just ash and cinder, blown by with the dust of last year's crops. It's a shame to see time cut to the chase, because with sturdy walls and a metal roof, there was a lot of crumbling coming. But despite the bastard arsonist, there's still love lingering, grisly beauty in the gristle of history smoldering. Here's to what's hanging on.
