So, take a leaf from this poor old fellow and take it all in your stride!

 

This big tortoise that I spotted, was taking it very easy in his strides and reminds me, of a British television sitcom called: One Foot in the Grave!

This was a BBC comedy series: Which the series features the exploits, mishaps and misadventures of irascible early retiree Victor Meldrew, who, after being made redundant from his job as a security guard at the age of 60, finds himself at war with the world and everything in it.

 

Many thanks for your snazzy comments from you here, my good flickr friends !!!

 

Apologies for the plethora of lighthouse and Stanlow images atm.

 

Not long after visiting Penmon recently I heard 'Love and Marriage' or more specifically the theme tune to the 80's American sitcom of the same name on YouTube. How the algorithm decided I wanted to watch it directly after watching a Gary Gough vlog I've no idea.

 

The line 'You can't have one without the other,' has been my unwanted earworm for several days and that for some reason made me think of lighthouse long exposures.

 

So to try and shift this earworm here is the second LE of the three lighthouses I visit fairly regularly.

 

Guess that means a Talacre long exposure next if this damn thing doesn't shift soon.

 

And if I've passed it on as an earworm then I'm so so sorry!

The 'Corner Gas' film set in Rouleau, Saskatchewan.

Dog River, (Rouleau) Saskatchewan.

Apologies for the poor title.

 

A day of celeb spotting yesterday. I took the dog for a walk around the marine lake at West Kirby earlier in the day and saw the now barrel chested former England and Liverpool footballer John Barnes walking up Telegraph Road in Heswall with a newspaper under his arm and a bag of goodies from the Shell garage.

 

I popped in to the butchers for a piece of sirloin after the dog walk and found myself stood next to Paul Brown who played 'Malcolm,' in the seminal late eighties/early nineties sitcom Watching. He was having the butcher coat some lamb leg steaks in minty sauce.

 

And finally Neil Fitzmaurice of Phoenix Nights and Peep Show fame sitting on the steps to the beach at Caldy watching the sunset.

No, this is not the title of a new television sitcom, but rather the name of the ducks that arrive very late in the year on their migration from breeding grounds in Alaska and Canada to unfrozen waters. The smallest of the North American diving ducks, their stay is brief...only a few weeks until the lake freezes over. This stylized photo of a segment of the flock was taken from my deck two days ago on the last day of open water. (Original in comments) I was pleased to count upwards of 50 specimens this year after a number of consecutive years of diminished numbers.

 

Fascinating to watch, they function almost as a single unit, their movement and diving highly synchronized. Skittish, upon approach in the canoe, they emerge from the water as one and fly just over the surface to a less bothersome section of the lake, free of such annoyances. Another of the now expected and eagerly anticipated annual events, this delightful species has been gracing these waters for a very long time, fossils dating back 500,000 years having been found.

"This store was the Food Market often seen in the background while (Corner Gas) show characters were filmed in town. The actual use of the building was as an orthotic and prosthetic manufacturing facility.

 

On Sunday Sept. 28, 2014 the building caught fire and despite firefighters efforts was completely destroyed. The fire was not deemed suspicious."

contribution to MM challenge for 3/2/20 - theme: "The Odd One"

 

The subject matter doesn't (or shouldn't!) need any explanation other than these are some of my partner's hobby tools.

 

The title is a direct take from the 70s sitcom featuring one of the best characters of all time - Arnold. That said I have no idea if it has stood the test of time, but he certainly was an odd one!

Down the road is where I'll always be

 

Every stop I make, I'll make a new friend

Can't stay for long, just turn around and I'm gone again.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Littlest_Hobo

 

For those of you who live or may have lived in The Great White North between the 60s to the 80s you've heard this song and may know it by heart.

 

Now this road is about as far away from Canada as you can get but for some reason it brought The Littlest Hobo to mind for me. I've never lived there, I know about The Littlest Hobo from an episode (Season 3, The Littlest Yarbo) of a great Canadian sitcom called Corner Gas:

This is either in New Mexico (maybe) or Arizona (probably). You can tell it's the monsoon season because the wildflowers are blooming and everything is green!

HBM!

This is my Chicago friends, Mikey and Nancy at the automotive museum. The truck is from the TV sitcom Sanford and Son. I'm sure some of you remember that one..:)

The night photos didn't come out as good as I would have liked. I forgot my glasses and tried to make some changes and some how changed it from Raw to Jpeg. So, I'll have to plan on doing that again.

For lovers of the long running British sitcom, Last of the Summer Wine, these are the steps alongside Sid's Café that features strongly throughout the series.

 

The series has been officially declared the world's longest-running television sitcom, airing continuously between Wednesday 4th January 1973 to Sunday 29th August 2010. Peter Sallis was the sole cast member to appear (as Norman Clegg) throughout the whole 31 seasons.

13/52: The 52 week challenge - Shiny

 

Shiny glass in the building behind the gull. Taken during my recent trip to Liverpool. The title came from a 1970's sitcom called The Liver Birds.

A young girl watching TV, aware of the photographer but ignoring him (there are more important things to focus on - such as a Brazilian sitcom). Also, this is not the only photo I took on this occasion. It's the price to pay when she comes to our home. This version of the close-up was done manually. It is better in my view than the one taken with AF and face and eye recognition. These are fantastic tools, but they can only recognise faces and eyes, not expressions and looks. And there is so much to look at.

Grape Hyacinth (Muscari armeniacum)

 

For my 100 Flowers - 2020 Project

 

Those of you who are familiar with the British sitcom 'Keeping Up Appearances' will get the Mrs Bucket reference.

 

This is the first time I have seen Grape Hyacinth flowers except in photos. Our great friend and neighbour, Kath, has them in her front garden courtesy of a packet of 'mixed' seeds she planted.

Harry was a funny guy, can count on him to have an extra Ace, I hope Jokers are Wild wherever you are.

Harry Laverne Anderson (October 14, 1952 – April 16, 2018) was an American actor, comedian, and magician. He is best known for the lead role of Judge Harry Stone on the 1984–1992 television series Night Court, and later starred in the sitcom Dave's World from 1993 to 1997.

In addition to eight appearances on Saturday Night Live between 1981 and 1985, Anderson had a recurring guest role as con man Harry "The Hat" Gittes on Cheers, toured extensively as a magician, and did several magic/comedy shows for broadcast, including Harry Anderson's Sideshow (1987). He played Richie Tozier in the 1990 miniseries It, based on the Stephen King novel of the same name.

Italia, Lazio, Anguillara Sabazia, Autunno 2019

 

Anguillara Sabazia è una città nel Lazio, nell'Italia centrale, a circa 30 chilometri a nord-ovest di Roma. Si annida su un piccolo promontorio sulla costa del lago di Bracciano; il suo centro medievale e la sua spiaggia ne fanno una destinazione popolare per i turisti. Un episodio in due parti della sitcom americana Everybody Loves Raymond è stato girato in città.

 

Anguillara Sabazia is a town in Lazio, central Italy, around 30 kilometers northwest of Rome. It nestles on a small cape on the coast of Lake Bracciano; its medieval center and its beach make it a popular destination for tourists. A two-part episode of the American sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond was shot in the town.

 

Smudge having a Victor Meldrew moment :) (a popular UK sitcom with the star being a grumpy old man) ... not that he's old being 2 .. but best start early as it's good fun speaking from experience

Since Lady B. (Eastern Bluebird) was requesting extra space and privacy for nest building yesterday; this is the one shot I managed to get while out with the camera. I had to go out and refill the feeding stations, otherwise I would have stayed out of her way altogether. Boy oh boy, Lady B can be a cranky beauty when she wants to.

 

As you can see Mr. C (Male Northern Cardinal) was very pleased when I placed peanuts on the palm stump. The old stump was removed but it was time to remove another palm that was interfering with the growth of oak one, so now I have a new palm stump to use as a feeding station.

 

One might belive that Mr. and Mrs. C. stands for male and female cardinal. Truly, that's a pretty good hypothesis. However, in my yard the cardinals were named after Howard and Marion Cunningham, from the TV sitcom Happy Days. The Fonz, also a character on the show, nicknamed the Cunningham's Mr. and Mrs. C. I'm not sure why, but the female cardinal reminds me of Marion's character. Therefore, I began calling her by that name and Howard received his name because he goes with her.

 

I hope your experiences today are pleasant. Happy snapping :)

For those of you who are big fans of the American comedian & actor, Don Knotts, there is no need to explain the title of this image. For the rest of you, here is the basic information you need. Don was a very successful entertainer from the 1950's through to the 80's, appearing in many sitcoms and movies. One of those movies, which I have seen, was The Ghost & Mr. Chicken. Premise: "A wannabe reporter decides to get the scoop on local ghosts by spending a night at a haunted house where there's been an unsolved murder."

 

What does the movie or Don Knotts have to do with this image? Nothing, really, except when I was going through my images from this photo shoot, I thought the willet in the background looked really ghostly and the memory of that movie title came to me in a flash. Chicken became Willet. Simple as that.

 

The photo shows a willet pair exhibiting their protective side. They came out on the road as I drove down it (slowly, as I was lookin for photo ops). Like godwits and some other wading birds, they seem to protest a lot even when their nest/youngsters are safely hidden in vegetation 30 or 40 meters away.

Ken & I are celebrating 20 glorious years together today! How fast the time has gone! Today has NOT been what either of us hoped for- so many things gone to chaos that it could be a sitcom episode! But love DOES conquer all!!

Completed in 1913, the 31 story office tower, with it's Hellenic architecture, was home to Union Central Insurance. The 5th tallest building in the U.S. when opened. Featured in the opening and closing credits of the tv sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati. Now being converted into a 300 unit apartment building.

Because I have a special something with chewing gum.. and this french song

  

@Miranda, thank you for inviting me 🌹

 

Odezenne-chewing gum

  

"Y’a comme un goût de déjà-vu dans son chewing-gum,

mastique et reste au garde-à-vous pendant qu’elle swing l'homme.

Belle sur le ring elle boxe avec son jean,

un été sun sur le dream avec un cocktail gin.

Un air de voyez-vous avec ce dit John,

voilà qu'elle sent le coup de foudre sur ce big love.

Elle remonte son string en face de son James Dean,

le steak brûle sur le grill et les dents blanches d'Eve brillent.

Un air de déjà-vu dans son « only you »,

la plastique reste au rendez-vous quand son body move.

Son instinct de film et son blue se dandinent,

voilà son festin de mime, elle tire dans le mille.

Y’a comme un ton de voyez-vous dans sa gueule de louve,

le type même un peu voyou dans son regard groove,

il sort ses blings-blings devant ses yeux qui brillent

et boit ses lèvres toutes clean avant que le réveil dring.

Et vous : -« comment allez-vous quand le baby cry ? »

Elle mate et l'appelle Daddy quand il boit son sky.

C'est sa West Side Story, manque le happy end.

Il sort son best style (oh oui) devant sa mini dinde.

Un air de «désabus» quand minuit sonne,

la p'tite passe aux désaveux sur ces belles donnes.

Miss Night-Express file au milieu des buildings,

se casse dans son Austin sur un air de Sting.

Y’a comme un goût de calorie dans son chewing-gum,

les cheveux gras, les cheveux plats, haute comme trois pommes.

Elle était ugly sur le ring et catche avec son jean,

se cache quand se pointe Jimmy avec sa Milady.

Des rêves d'american idol nichés dans sa tête

à en cacher ses rondeurs derrière sa salopette.

Elle ne songe même pas à l'équation slim-string,

autant offrir à un manchot une poignée de Bretlings !

Y’a comme un air de rythme and blues au fond de ses yeux,

elle détourne son regard vexé de tous les beaux gars.

Elle se dit qu'un jour viendra un sourire de star,

un qui aura le Stetson la gueule d'Humphrey Bogart.

Un qui lui soufflera des mots doux poopoopeedoo,

qui la fera marcher à cloche-pied sur les rayons de lune,

un qui la prendra dans son Teddy North Carolina,

un qui pour être beau n'aura pas besoin de gomina...

Y’a comme un goût de bigoudi dans son chewing-gum.

Elle va fêter Happy Birthday dans un night club.

Elle était jolie sur la piste et va avec son style,

elle a du sex-appeal sur Aretha Franklin.

Y’a comme un goût de bistouri dans son chewing-gum.

Il a le style simplet et le regard sitcom.

Des tas de loups autour de son bombé bon-da.

La soirée s'éteint sur la banquette de la Honda."

Coffee at Eleven, Elizabeth? Is a line from a famous British sitcom - Keeping up appearances.

It wasn't actually eleven when I made this but late afternoon. I had the unexpected pleasure of looking after my grandson this afternoon. Needless to say I was too busy to get a photo until he had left and I decided to relax for a few minutes with a coffee...two birds with one stone. Looking after a toddler is exhausting work but great fun.

- “Captain, it’s Wednesday”.

 

What a Week, Huh? refers to a panel from The Adventures of Tintin comics depicting characters Tintin and Captain Haddock that was recaptioned with a humorous exchange from a 2009 episode of the sitcom 30 Rock. The recaptioned panel gained significant popularity as a reaction image used to express tiredness and being overwhelmed, but is also used as a template for redraws. In November 2020, the Twitter gimmick account @whataweekhuh gained viral popularity.

 

Between October 17th, 1940, and October 18th, 1941, Belgian cartoonist Hergé had The Crab with the Golden Claws, the ninth volume of The Adventures of Tintin, published in the Belgian newspaper supplement Le Soir Jeunesse.[3] In the volume, the character Captain Haddock is first introduced, first shown procuring whiskey from his mate and drinking it alone in his cabin before Tintin gets in through the window and accuses him of narcotics trafficking (original panel shown below, left and center).

 

On June 21st, 2017, Tumblr gimmick account Incorrect Tintin (incorrectintin) combined the dialogue with the panel, with Captain Haddock complaining to Tintin about his hard week.

Here is a photo of some cool looking rocks from Northern Los Angeles. My brother scouted this spot, which is better known as Vazquez Rocks. Seeing this scene for the first time was like being on a different planet. This interesting formation of rock developed 25 Million years ago, and is a popular backdrop for filming movies and sitcoms. I'm glad we brought plenty of water with us because it was super hot!

The police car from the Canadian TV sitcom "Corner Gas".

It's a little tough to see here because it's in the surveillance zone shielded by appropriate ground cover.

 

This is the film set of the popular Canadian sitcom "Corner Gas". The set was never built to last but it lasted much longer than expected.

After the filming ended this place sat empty for several years. Then for a while it was open to the public as a gift-shop. That's when I visited and I feel pretty lucky about that fluke timing. The ground under this set was not ideal for building so the set was slowly sinking. Then on November 4, 2016 when the lease on the land expired, this iconic film set was demolished.

 

The bit of good news regarding Corner Gas is that the show has returned... this time animated.

I’m still exploring techniques to depict the grace and beauty of movement, especially the stunning aerobatics for birds in flight. So, if you are a regular visitor to my photostream:

1) I apologise for the multiple blurry bird photos I am inflicting on you

2) I believe there is medication that can help

3) If you have any suggestions for improvement, I’d be very pleased to read your advice

4) If you have a severe case of bad-punitis or in-growing sarcasm, I believe jotting them down in the comments field and pressing “enter” helps relives the symptoms. Left unchecked there is a danger you will become a sitcom script writer for the BBC. Heaven forbid!

The architecture of Tampines Street 45’s Blk 497 may seem a little different than the nearby other HDB blocks, with its taller than usual void decks and a design that may seem right out of a university block.

 

For older generations, they may even remember it as a filming location for the 1990s sitcom “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” or the 2006 Jack Neo film “I Not Stupid Too”.

Sid’s Cafe is the cafe made famous by ‘Last of the Summer Wine’ - the world’s longest running sitcom which began in 1973. With its distinctive white frontage, red ‘cafe’ sign and green gingham curtains it is instantly recognisable as the cafe frequented by Compo, Clegg and Foggy.

Anyone who, like me, watched the TV sitcom 'Butterflies' in the late '70s/early '80s will now be singing the theme tune. :)

 

The brass buckle dates from the 1930s. The teacup and saucer are vintage Spode.

This man is watching television. The atmosphere was eerily calm in contrast to the deafening noise of the traffic during the day - at this time of night, you can hear the primeval growl of the air conditioners. He was watching a sitcom. The canned laughter made me feel like I was walking through his living room.
