Funny how the eye plays tricks. I was just thinking "that doesn't look much like Stow-on-the-Wold to me", and then I read it again, properly.

What a shame he didn't get around to colouring it in!

I saw this in the night and fell asleep again. Dreamed that I was being shown the building by someone who knew it well.

He said 'But look at THIS!' and bent down ad grasped the edge of the floor as if it was a rug, and flipped it so the whole floor rippled!

We had a poster who did hilarious 'shoppings of that scene. One was of my mutts and their doggy friends, hilarious, and very kind of him to do.

Anyway why is John's face on fire?

And why is Paul wearing wellies?

And why is Paul wearing wellies?

They all are, aren't they? It's wet underfoot.

Anyway Paul needed his to roam the large portion of the Mull of Kintyre that he used to own.

I was just thinking that, seeing how the original was famous for Paul being shoe-less (on account of his being dead, as some would have it), it would've been amusing to see him still without shoes, even in the snow!

Ah right, I see!

I'd forgotten about his bare feet on the original photo, durr.

The photo was closely pored over and interpreted at the time and for years afterwards. I can't remember now why Paul had no shoes but the explanation was mundane.

Adam Buxton asked him about this when he was a guest on his latest podcast. It was a hot day and Paul was wearing sandals. He merely took them off for one of the takes.

But what the heck is going on with Johns face?

John's hair is reddish in the original. Not quite as red on the worn cover of Ms Popper's original album, which happens to be hanging on the wall three feet from me, but it does have a strong highlight.

Maybe Paul should had snow shoes on, or tennis racquets

That's if it WAS indeed Paul.

I think he just has little legs in the photoshop.

It’s so he can easily reach all the drums.

A good friend of mine (an ex book publisher) now tries to spend at least a couple of months in Hong Kong each year, her favourite city. She's a great photographer too and captures some wonderful and quirky shots, also plenty of humorous ones. This was of one lunch menu during a visit during December last year...

This is the second illustration from The Funerary Passing according to The Rutland Book of the Dead. In this, only Paul is holding a cigarette pointing downwards as you’d expect to see in the Ancient Hieroglyphs of Akhenaten casually smoking a fag promoting his ancient monotheism stuff.

Pigeon with a white wine sauce. That’s just fucking ridiculous.

I've had that A04. Wasn't bad, actually, but might not have been chicken.
