I just came across this article online and couldn't resist sharing it.
Photographer, David Schulz has struck up quite a relationship with the local Emperor penguins in Antarctica, so much so that he decided to let them have a free hand with some of his photographic equipment.
Don't you just love the 'family portrait?
You can just imagine the dialogue:
"Now then, son, smile for the camera. Say 'chocolate biscuits' and don't fidget.
Dad, did you change your shirt?"
"Yes, dear. Will this take long?"
"Oooh, does my hair look all-right? Knew I should have had my roots done last week!"
Life in north east England (yes, we've moved!) with an eccentric Welshman and a small white dog that thinks he's a Rottweiler.
TK is on form!
10 Downing Street
London SW1
Dear People of the United Kingdom,
Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown of the economy, your Government has decided to implement a scheme to put workers 50 years of age and older on early retirement. This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).
Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to the government to be eligible for the SHAFT scheme (Special Help After Forced Termination).
Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW program (Scheme Covering Retired Early Workers). A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as the government deems appropriate.
Only persons who have been RAPED can get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependants & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance). Obviously, persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by the government.
Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on, will receive as much SHIT (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. The government has always prided itself in the amount of SHIT it gives out. Should you feel that you do not receive enough SHIT, please bring this to the attention of your local MP. They have been trained to give you all the SHIT you can handle.
Sincerely,
Gordon Brown
TK's back!
Another little gem from TK.
