Hat tip: Toque, Wonko, Dodge and err.. myself.
Whilst I was otherwise detained, JMB put up the Blogpower: Best Posts of 2007 roundup which is self-selecting. (I put forward the snap-happy post as it was unique in being the first one that prompted a request for image use).
Anyway, there are more than twenty there on all sorts of topics, from cats to coincidences. Give it a click.
Today was when all of the christmas decorations came down to live in the loft for another eleven months. I have added another New Year Resolution to my list: to clear out the loft of old junk, mainly in order to make way for new junk.
Anyway, I treated myself to a good rummage whilst I was up there and finally I hit paydirt in the last box; a handful of misplaced photos.
I’ve been half-meaning to start a meme called six images you can’t find on the internet no matter how you look, of which vestigially stands at:
- (Something personal) The Kenton School 1976 VI Form school photo
- (Something childhood) The Kenton Bar Pyramid
- (Something local history) The Morley New Pavilion auditorium
- (Something impossible, like The Hanging Gardens of Babylon)
- (Something apocryphal, like a Prime Minister on a rocking horse wearing a nappy)
- (Someting widespread in strikeout, like
Britney Spears’ front bottom
Anyway, number two has come up trumps: a photo of the pyramid. I first blogged about it eighteen months ago and it is one of those old postings that gets an occasional comment from people who stumble across it on random searches and can relate to it.
I have taken a snap, notice how it is peeling at top right the corner. I’ll scan it properly one day.
I won’t tag anyone with this meme, but feel free to pick it up and run with it if you can relate to it.
