Yep, saw that yesterday but the photo's I downloaded would not post and only opened in a web browser (Vivaldi).
Nicked that from ARRSE.

One of the many chainsaw sculptures in the Sutherland forests, this one would give you a bit of a fright if you met it at night. The teddy is our doing, a project for the grand children's school.

This it at Ravens Rock, a favourite walk of ours and the dogs south west of Lairg

and about 100 yards from what I now rate as the best border crossing between Scotland and England. More a bouncy border than a hard border

I love that Bus Cafe

Looks a bit posher than ours! I'm really developing quite a love of old busses..

Love that bridge too

Something else I really love... Along with tunnels and viaducts...

I'll try to get another good cafe picture later today

The view from my daughter's deck on Sunday morning, she posted it on her facebook page but I thought it was worth a look on here.

Gibbo, I love snow-scapes like that

Here's one of mine... Taken during a gorgeous snowy run at 5am in the morning last Thursday....

In this one, looking where I'm about to continue running, note the cat-prints and the halo I caught around the streetlight - totally accidental but rather lovely...

: Own Work

Modern LED streetlights make quite good photographic floodlights

Caution, NSFW and contains a naughty word...

Open only if not offended by said rude word...

Spoiler: show

: Nicked From Facebook...

It is excellent advice

I'm well and truly f*****g offended!

Had to open it to see what the naughty word might be, otherwise how would I have know to be offended by it.

I'm surprised that anyone could be offended by that word now, it's use in the media has become a hundred times a day event.

I'm not offended by it still think it's unnecessary.

Good authors too who once knew better words
Now only use four letter words writing prose, anything goes

I think it depends on context. It can be offensive, as it was intended to be. Overuse has largely diminished it's offensiveness.
My post was supposed to be tongue in cheek but has perhaps been taken literally.

Another Jerrymobile comes to grief on an infamous corner near Cranfield University...

Many have, as the assorted automotive debris in the ditch and on the bank bears silent witness...

Spotted during a club bike ride yesterday...

This really is quite a treacherous corner on an unclassified road with no real warning signage... It certainly claims a lot of victims - mostly German!

Spotted a lovely vintage wireless in the tearoom we visited during our windy club bike ride today...

Apologies for the quality... The room was quite dark...

The Merc. that ran out of luck near the University has now been recovered... Lots of debris left behind though...
