If the internet has taught me anything it’s that honey badgers are a natural predator of bees and wasps. Maybe get three or four honey badgers as pets?

Grahame, you’re getting close to beating this guy. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/jul/31/a-new-start-after-60-at-74-i-go-to-a-gig-every-night-and-once-went-to-725-in-a-row?CMP=oth_b-aplnews_d-1

Sinead O' Connor - I'm Stretched On Your Grave (live)

Hope it’s a great one!

I kinda like Morrissey slightly more today. https://variety.com/2023/music/news/morrissey-criticism-sinead-oconnor-tributes-1235681468/

Mr. Private Eye should probably calm a little down when meshing with Sinead.

PM incoming.

You pick the musical personality that defined the punk/rock attitude for you. Taking on the church or Frank Sinatra it’s always been her for me. Like a lot of soon to be parents I started thinking of the music I wanted to introduce to our child. Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds and O’Conner’s I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got were one and two. Celebrate the beautiful. Tear down the opposite.

That’s a generous offer. Thanks. Let me ask them.

These are nothing special, but been shooting the 5D Classic this week after awhile. Surprisingly stress-free and little post needed.

For those who miss innocent old Star Trek days...

!!!!!! Congrats.

In related news a friend's niece is starting a beginners digital photo course and looking for a body and lens for <$500 new or used. The course description requirements were ridiculous, but translated basically said a camera you could get out of automatic mode and a widish lens. I said... 5D Classic + 35mm D700 + 35mm XT1 + 23mm Any others recommendations of the top of your heads gang?
