** I can see you staring there from across the block
With a smile on your mouth and your hand on your c***huh!
The story of us it always starts the same
A boy and a girl and a c***huh! and a game! **

Mike and I are in no way perfect when it comes to being eco-friendly. We do try, though, and are always open to changing things to be kinder to our earth. None of us can live without having an impact on the planet, but we can choose what kind of impact we make.

Tot slot een overzichtsplaatje van de ACTS 1043 met aan de haak het voorste deel van de trein duwend richting het vertrekspoor, hier langs de terminal. Ruim een kwartier later vertrekt het geheel onder treinnummer 50067 naar de Amsterdamse Houtrakpolder. Speciaal voor Marcel van Eupen en voor een ieder die het nog niet weet, links op de achtergrond is de in de wijde omtrek herkenbare Achmea-toren te zien.
I spent half the day in Durango, Co and took my dog for a walk along the river. I guess there was a pretty good rain in the past.

Covers of forgotten 1940s genre crime novels with titles like' This Man is Death', 'Daughters of Shame’ and, shown here, from my own collection, 'Don’t Scare Easy' are bringing unexpected high prices at auction. A collection valued around £4,000 fetched £26,829 recently.
Mainly published by the Kaye brothers - Bernard & Alfred - between 1949 and 1954, the books were judged obscene at the Old Bailey - the Kayes were jailed and two of their authors heavily fined.
Leonard Percy Gard, the artist responsible for many of these lurid covers was acquitted when he proved he did them before the books were even written.
Gard drew for Hank Jansen - one of the genre’s most famous authors - this was a pseudonym for Steve Francis and almost certainly Ace Capelli.
Called wall-to-wall sleaze’ and ‘a cross between the superb and the crass’, the covers are still evocative of this post-war style - though readers might be disappointed to find that the stuff inside is tamer than Mills & Boon now.

How does it feel? I realize we’re only a few hours into the new year, but there’s an inexplicable sensation that the holidays are more distant than their actual recency. It’s as if time has slowed down, and the city is gradually settling into a winter hibernation. Perhaps it’s a personal perception, but the ambiance suggests a tranquil pace. Wishing you all a joyous New Year!

Where the islands of Malta & Gozo were once home to what seemed like hundreds of MkI Ford Transits, there are now very few to be seen and this was the only dual-wheel version I saw in the five days I was there.
Quite unusually this very clean looking example has a petrol front rather than the more usual (for Malta) diesel nose.

I had several shoots last week experimenting with liquid mixes and lighting, it is a bit of a balancing act to get it all right.
I find it amazing what can be seen in each of the shapes and patterns.

On August 1st 1715 The Riot Act, or to give it its full and more entertaining title, “An Act for preventing tumults and riotous assemblies, and for the more speedy and effectual punishing the rioters", came into force.
The Act was introduced during a time of civil disturbance in Great Britain, such as the Sacheverell riots of 1710, the Coronation riots of 1714 and the 1715 riots in England. The preamble makes reference to "many rebellious riots and tumults [that] have been [taking place of late] in diverse parts of this kingdom", adding that those involved "presum[e] so to do, for that the punishments provided by the laws now in being are not adequate to such heinous offences".
The act created a mechanism for certain local officials to make a proclamation ordering the dispersal of any group of more than twelve people who were "unlawfully, riotously, and tumultuously assembled together".
If the group failed to disperse within one hour, then anyone remaining gathered was guilty of a felony without benefit of clergy, punishable by death.
The proclamation could be made in an incorporated town or city by the mayor, bailiff or "other head officer", or a justice of the peace. Elsewhere it could be made by a justice of the peace or the sheriff, undersheriff or parish constable. It had to be read out to the gathering concerned, and had to follow precise wording detailed in the act; several convictions were overturned because parts of the proclamation had been omitted, in particular "God save the King".
he wording that had to be read out to the assembled gathering was as follows:
“Our sovereign lord the King chargeth and commandeth all persons, being assembled, immediately to disperse themselves, and peaceably to depart to their habitations, or to their lawful business, upon the pains contained in the act made in the first year of King George, for preventing tumults and riotous assemblies. God save the King.”
If a group of people failed to disperse within one hour of the proclamation, the act provided that the authorities could use force to disperse them. Anyone assisting with the dispersal was specifically indemnified against any legal consequences in the event of any of the crowd being injured or killed.
Because of the broad authority that the act granted, it was used both for the maintenance of civil order and for political means.
At times, it was unclear to both rioters and authorities as to whether the reading of the Riot Act had occurred. One example of this is evident in the St. George's Fields Massacre of 1768. At the trials following the incident, there was confusion among witnesses as to when the Riot Act had actually been read. The Riot Act also caused confusion during the Gordon Riots of 1780, when the authorities felt uncertain of their power to take action to stop the riots without a reading of the Riot Act. After the riots, Lord Mansfield observed that the Riot Act did not take away the pre-existing power of the authorities to use force to stop a violent riot; it only created the additional offense of failing to disperse after a reading of the Riot Act.
The Riot Act was read prior to the Peterloo Massacre of 1819, Cinderloo Uprising of 1821, as well as before the Bristol Riots at Queen's Square in 1831 and twice during the Merthyr Rising of the same year.
The Riot Act eventually drifted into disuse. The last time it was definitely read in England was in Birkenhead, Cheshire, on August 3rd 1919, during the second police strike, when large numbers of police officers from Birkenhead, Liverpool and Bootle joined the strike. Troops were called in to deal with the rioting and looting that had begun, and a magistrate read out the Riot Act.
The Act was repealed in England in Wales by the Criminal Law Act 1967. However, it would continue to be law in Scotland until July 18th 1973 when the Statute Law (Repeals) Act 1973 came into force. The last known use of the Act in Scotland was in 1971 when it was read by the deputy town clerk James Gildea in Airdrie.
As a consequence of the Act, the expression "to read the Riot Act" has entered into common language as a phrase meaning "to reprimand severely", with the added sense of a stern warning. The phrase remains in common use in the English language.

Op zondagavond 4 mei 2008 is er nog niks aan de hand met ACTS. Inmiddels weten we dat ACTS in 2011 HUSA is geworden, en dat het containervervoer uit het noorden van het land eerst naar een andere vervoerder is gegaan. Later is dit vervoer helemaal gestopt. Dat de 5800'en vanaf half 2009 gebruikt zijn bij ETF voor het aanleggen van HLS lijnen in Frankrijk. Ook weten we dat HUSA in 2014 is gestopt met spoorvervoer.
Zo is de 5811 met de containertrein (50049) van Veendam onderweg naar de Rotterdamse en komt op de zonnige zondagavond van 4-5-2008 door de Soester Eempolder.
