I often wonder If the powers that be even believe in their own rhetoric or are they just kissing the arse of the EU bureaucrats to score brownie points, who they themselves inflict rules and regulations on the rest of us to blindly follow their non common law acts of laws?.
Where I live, the parking has gotten so bad and made worse by the university west of Scotland’s students who’ve long taken over the residents parking spaces, since they don’t wish to pay for parking closer to the university. This has resulted in residents being unable to get in and out of their own street, let alone find a space close to their home to park their cars if they could during the day time.
Plus the street not very wide and made worse where it bottle necks just as you come off a busy road. So with so many people parking on the pavement, to which many will place all four wheels on the pavements. The bottle neck has become a place to double park, rendering any type of emergency crews to struggle to get through, in or even park themselves. Hell the road workers put out cones and were forced to abandon a road dig because someone parked right in between the cones… No S###!
Its funny, if you never had a parking ticket on the windscreen of your car, you’d get fined for it. But flout so many rules where even the pedestrian’s can walk on the pavements due to cars and residents bins blocking your progress. No one seems to care… Strange that?
Saying that even car owners are victims in all of this, with poor road maintenance, awful road planning parking layouts. While forced to drive miles to find work only to be pushed onto the pavement with over the top parking charges making it impossible to park beside their place of business. Then we have the EU crazy new migration pact recently signed, that could see 50 some million migrants flood to the west and all with their cars and zero understanding of the rules. Hell most of the trash & furniture dumped in my street is caused by their lack of English or how things are supposed to be done in this country.
Then we come to why we’re here. The new bins have arrived along with the instructions on how o use them and how petty they are. For one I never new their where so many types of paper that went into so many types of bins and I’m one who does recycle. Not because politicians say so, but because I choose to.
Anyone remember those wee green food bins where I say many booted and abandoned down our street and fly tipped els where. We had one resident who used them to store their dog s#### dropping while the rest went unused. I put my food waste in the brown bin wit all the garden waste since I’m he only one who gives a toss about the back gardens.
So like I said, I often wonder If the powers that be even believe in their own rhetoric when the people in my street and those I’ve spoke with don’t give a dogs s### about these new green bins and will dump what they want in the back bins
I took a few photos where you can clearly see how all these bans are now blocking the pavements as well as proving how people will dump all the wrong items in the wrong bins, regardless of the itemise list given to them to follow.
You know I wouldn’t mind seeing in my garden a compost bin with instructions on how to use it. I know you can chuck in food, garden waste and even old news papers. Though I’d probably be the only one using it or gives a crap about the state of my street, more so when being forced to all on the pavement due to all the cars and bins being un ticked on the f#### roads these days.
Sort out that mess first given the drive is to clean up the environment why don’t you! Oh yes check the photos of the green traffic lights box with all its wires exposed at the top of Well street and the CCTV above it. Here’s where I was told, the council backed into it and drove off after lifting up a dumped fridge placed on the street… Shocker…
This is one of my complaints against Adorama umbrellas.
I've ordered them as described on their website but when I received them they came dangerous tips (that you can hurt yourself or someone) and they also printed a BIG Adorama logo to make Strobist photographers promote their website and products for free.
Take a look at the full article here.

synopsis
The plot of The Brain from Planet Arous has something to do with a huge floating brain which takes over the body of nuclear scientist Steve March (John Agar) as the first step in its takeover of the earth. Tipping off the fact that March is not himself are his strange eyeballs and his rather violent mood swings. Additionally, the arrogant alien brain occasionally leaves Steve's body to brag about its superiority. Meanwhile, a "policeman brain" from the villain's home planet hides out in the body of March's dog, awaiting the chance to arrest the renegade graymatter.
In many ways, this movie typifies the stereotype of 50s B-scifi. It uses ample stock footage. (in this case, nuclear tests). It uses models suspended by wires. (the two airplanes) And, it has a monster (or alien) which isn't particularly scary looking. The cast has B-movie stalwarts, such as John Agar, Joyce Meadows and Thomas Browne Henry. The premise is stereotypic too. A malicious "advanced" alien wants to take over the earth. The resolution is not as typical. A friendly alien provides the key that saves earth. This, instead of the usual where earth scientists electrocute the monster.
A little bright light settles onto a rocky desert mountain, followed by an explosion. Steve and Dan (nuclear scientists working in a remote desert cabin (?), pick up intermittent radiation bursts. The go out to Mystery Mountain to investigate. In a newly cut cave, they are confronted by an ethereal floating brain with glowing eyes. Steve fires his pistol at it, but it comes on. Steve collapses, as does Dan. The brain settles into Steve's body. Back at the house, Steve's fiancee notices that Steve has changed. He's brash and lecherous. He says Dan ran off to Las Vegas. When alone, the brain creature, named Gor, floats out of Steve. It explains that he plans to rule the earth, choosing Steve as his host body because of his security access. Gor also likes Sally in an unhealthy way. Feeling there must be an explanation for Steve's new odd behavior, Sally and her father drive out to Mystery Mountain. There they find Dan's body, burned by radiation. They also see a floating brain, this one named Vol. Vol explains that he's here to recapture Gor, and escaped criminal from planet Arous. Vol can recapture Gor only when he's outside of Steve, While inside, Steve (and Gor) are invulnerable. Vol opts to inhabit the family dog, George, as a way to often be near Steve/Gor without arousing suspicion. Gor-Steve attends a nuclear bomb test, but usurps the test to demonstrate his mighty power. He makes a blast like an H-bomb. A General tries to shoot Gor-Steve, but is struck dead. Gor-Steve demands that the leaders of the major nations meet him in 10 hours. At that meeting, Gor-Steve explains that all nations will use their industrial resources to build a fleet of ships so he can conquer Arous. Earth would be a vassal planet. Vol, unable to catch Gor exposed, tells Sally about Arous-brain weakness. A fold called the Fissure of Rolando. A blow there would kill Gor. Sally writes a note to this effect, on a page torn from an encyclopedia about brains. Gor comes out of Steve to boast of his plans. Sally, hiding in the next room, screams. This distracts Gor. Steve, in his right mind, reads the note and picks up a handy axe. He chops away at Gor. The brain is dead. Cue badly written "funny" ending. The end.
It's easy for a modern viewer to see BFPA as pure camp, almost self-parody, but they were serious. There is still something intriguing about an all-brain creature (with glowing eyes) which balances himself on a boneless spinal column. Not your typical nemesis.
While less coherent, several Cold War themes weave in and out of BFPA. Gor represents the side of nuclear weapon power that everyone feared. Innocent people (such as on the two planes) killed without warning. Gor's demonstration at the test facility made it inescapable that his power is just like our nukes. Another Cold War anxiety is that an insider could get "turned" by the enemy. Yet another theme is the evil despot who wants to rule the world with an iron fist.
The brain creatures on Arous had "evolved" beyond bodies. The could project power, but all we see them capable of is destruction. Gor needed earthlings for their creative abilities. We could build ships. Apparently Gor could not, on his own. This suggests that Gor was too weak on Arous to dominate without our hands. This is similar to the aliens in It Came From Outer Space ('53) who needed earth bodies and tools to fix their ship.
As a pure intellect who had risen above such savage feelings, Gor was not prepared for power of lust. Once he got to see how desirable a pretty woman is, however, he quickly became obsessed with "experiencing" physical pleasures. Gor, despite his advanced intellect, couldn't manage his libido. This movie clearly presses the audience's "save our women" button.
Gor-Steve tries several times to take the Steve & Sally relationship far beyond proper bounds. Sally is, at first, a little amused at Gor-Steve's suddenly more amorous behavior. When He presses further, however, we can see that there is an understood line of acceptable behaviors and Steve was clearly over it. Note that even in the 50s, when it was supposed to be a man's world, and women submissive, a man did not have a right to do as he pleased, even with someone committed to him.
John Agar, as an actor, never quite seemed to be able to take his roles seriously. Typically, he had a silly smile on his face as if he could never get over the fact that he was acting in a movie. In BFPA, however, the smirk works. Since he was supposed to be possessed by the evil brain-thing, Gor, Agar's usual smirk at least has a reason to be there.
Typically, aliens have been homogeneous -- all good or all bad. Sometimes there have been occasional lone good "aliens" among the generally bad ones, such as Lambda among the Catwomen of the Moon ('53) or Exeter from This Island Earth ('55). Arous is not so simple. It has criminals and apparently some problems with security. Vol, in the role of kindly protector alien comes to apprehend the evil brain.
Bottom line? BFPA is not high art, nor does it aspire to deeper meanings. It is, however, formulaic B-grade sci-fi. As such, it is a good example as a stereotype. A fan of the genre can enjoy it as such. Someone seeking though-provoking drama will come away dissatisfied.
