Pictures & Stories That Could Be Ghosts But Aren’t

And even if they don't, that's what they get.

Well exactly, I just want stuff extruded from a machine nozzle into a cone, maybe if I'm feeling racy, a bit of strawberry sauce. And a flake.

Not home-produced honeycomb and fresh picked raspberry made with our own Jersey cream nonsense.

On a photo I took of Techy there's a sort of orb/vapour snake emerging from his trouser fly.

I just spat tomato soup all over my keyboard.

I believe your work here is done for the day!

I took this last night. I’m pretty sure the guy on the left isn’t a ghost and it was just my slow shutter speed.

Alternate Signage. . .

I just had a whippy ice cream. Not many offering at this time of year even here. When the vans come around at home they have the whippy variety.

I just went outside to see if there was any aurora action. I took some pictures because people say some times they can see it better than the naked eye. I ended up with this weird one. I think the light in the top right corner is from the lamppost next to me and I think the funny long bit could be from one further away. But that bits a bit strange.

I’ve just taken a good one. The ‘ghostly’ item in the middle at the top is a holographic streamer we stuck there to discourage the birds who threatened to come in the open window. It was flapping about so looks rather odd on the long exposure.

Thanks to @MorningAngel calling me back to this thread, I now want a Mr Whippy ice cream again! Just as the cravings had died down...

I was turning a corner at work today and heard ‘uh-huh’ right next to me. It really freaked me out. It wasn’t my smart watch which likes to butt in regularly. I started to suspect it was Siri on my phone in my pocket. I tried it to see if it could hear me from my pocket and it did and made exactly the same sound, not even muffled by my pocket.

Command your smart hat to Bluetooth your digital jockstrap via the antennae in your shoelaces and turn your e-pants into a Faraday cage.

Sorted.
