Kingswear Castle paddle steamer no longer is in the Medway river I found out today.Oh well I missed out through procrastinaion.

[kingwilly]

ok.

I went here.

[Aberlour]

I thought taking you off ignore to view your posts on this thread would be OK. I was wrong.

That would be better on the "post a picture per week" thread mate don't you think.

Or perhaps the "I need a hug" thread.

So you spent all day looking at some ugly retail units?

Have another go next time you go out somewhere mate.

[nigelandjan]

Is that the mountain you are still painting KW ?

I delivered here today ,, a decorated shit farm in Rayleigh Essex

Then later in the day I delivered here in the middle of hay fever central

Had a nice day down at Watson's Bay with my crazy chinese ex-GF who kicked me out of the house at 2am 6 months ago with a suitcase and nowhere to go.





Bought her a bag of fish and chips and she came back to the hotel for a bit of lady's front bottom fun so that was $30 well spent.

Nice day out at Harewood house.

[Aberlour]

^ Lovely shots mate. Do they let you inside or just in the grounds?

[Storekeeper]

Went to see the Seattle Mariners play the Texas Rangers yesterday:



Stadium roof open:


Stadium roof closed: (Looked up and it was closed. Yes, it's that quiet)



Club level seats down the third base line ... $65 bucks a pop !

^cool

[Storekeeper]

Didn't go anywhere today. Here is the view from my place here in Bremerton, WA:



Shipyard where I work is barely visible to the left in the photo. 20 minutes from engine start to parking lot.

[Storekeeper]

Just copy the IMG link and paste it on here, SK

I think I have it now. Thanks.

[astasinim]

^ Lovely shots mate. Do they let you inside or just in the grounds?

Yes, you can go inside. Only "below stairs" and the ground floor are open to the public though. The other floors are still occupied by the Lascelles family.

Folkstone - Kent

There is very little to do in Folkstone, but it's a place we enjoy going and doing just that, very little.

WARNING: For the lack of anything better to take pictures of, this post has been padded out with mundane, family photos (That was the idea of the thread to be honest) but if it's not your thing, don't say you weren't warned.

At the Harbour.






Another day, another bench.




Another day, another anchor.



Water fountain. Too cold for us today!



Me and me boy.



This is the main beach area (sandy) but not when the tides in it ain't.





Making the tiny bit of sand in the harbour very popular.



A rare sight so far this year. (The blue sky not the seagull.)



We get to the beach to have our BBQ that we specifically went to Folkstone to have, to find that neither of us had bothered to put the BBQ in the car before we left.

Never mind, it gives us an excuse to go up in the lift to town to buy another one.




A very old cannon ball apparently. looks like a ball of concrete to me but.




Have BBQ. Will eat.



Queue too long for the lift. Steps it is.



Grub.



I never leave home without my phone and wallet. My wife never leaves home without..



The wife starts to prepare some food while I build the BBQ. One of us took far longer than it should have taken, swore repeatedly, and blamed everybody but themselves for why it wasn't going right. I'm not saying who it was.




Both got there in the end.




Moment of truth for any hunter gatherer. Can he get the BBQ to light and feed his family.



Good to go with my manliness in tact.



My son has one of his fruity moments with his mums hat.





Grub.





Is it a great white or is it a turtle?





I did say there wasn't much to do in Folkstone didn't I!


Marshmallow time.



Time to burn off some calories with a walk/ride along the beach.




Stoney beach.






Coffee and ice cream break.



A bit further and we reach the playground. One of the best designed playgrounds we go to IMO.



Along with benches, another regular feature of our days out. The wife doing fuck all while I sweat my man boobs off running around a playground.



A long walk back to the harbour along a beautifully laid out walk way. The local council have surpassed themselves on this stretch of the beach IMO. Loads of little pathways, down to the beach and steps up to the main road. Lots of places to sit, and a lovely selection of plants and bushes.

















Catch the end of a pub band's set



Back to the harbour and the tides now out.








The wife queues up for some chips.



The beach area.






These arches make a great place to set up your picnic when the tide's out. When we meet up with other Thai people, they all sit under there out of the sun like bats in a cave.




Time for a walk about with a well deserved couple of beers.












Stop jumping around I said, you'll slip and end up on your ass I said.




I know which one I'm glad I'm taking home!



Can the misses wait till she gets home to go on Facebook? Can she fuck.

I need another beer so homeward bound it is.

[blue]

looks like there as much to do there as anywhere else
nice photos

[ruse]

Me and me boy.

as a new guy, this sort of look at me but you can see me stuff is both bizzare and kinda fascinating

[Aberlour]

If you are talking about the blurred out faces, it's unavoidable on a forum like this. You can still get the feel for the people and the place. Well I can, when I look at other photos of people who have done the same.

I post photos that I know I would enjoy if other people posted them. That's all I can do. I have no interest in tailoring my posts to what other people may or may not want to see. I know what kind of thing I enjoy, if others are like minded then cool, if they're not, then no harm is done. No one is forced to read any threads on this forum.You get some enjoyment out of the post or you don't. It's no biggy.

[snakeeyes]

Very nice pic thread , no anglers about ? , cheers ,

Yeah, blurred out faces.
I am not criticising it by any means, and I understand places on the net where you want to remain anonymous (here, being a place like that for me). It was just a fascinating mix of sharing ones life and erasing some details, in a lot of photos.
Didn't mean to offend, they just struck me as a bizarrely interesting phenomena of our times.

[Aberlour]

^ didn't offend at all mate. I would love to be able to post normal photos without the faces blocked out, but as you agree it just isn't possible.

As far as I'm concerned this is the very next best thing. You can still get a feel for the people and what they are up to, but still protect yourself from the mental inadequates, of which there are lots on this forum.

If I didn't even feel comfortable doing that, then what would be the fucking point. The weirdo cretins would have won, and would be dictating to me how I use and enjoy this forum. If it was like that I simply wouldn't bother posting any more.

You're right though, it is a bit weird, just don't see any alternatives.

[Aberlour]

There were 5 or 6 about mate. I took one photo of them but being on my phone and zoomed it wasn't usable. I need to get a new lens for my DSLR pronto.

[nigelandjan]

the mental inadequates, of which there are lots on this forum.

ppppfffttt ! thankfully most are not out on the loose now though


Nicked some of your lovely boat pics for later when I have time

[Dillinger]

I really enjoyed that Aberlour... have a green.
I can't believe how clean and tidy the place is.
Take heed Asia
Tell me those pics werent from that galaxy s3 ??

[astasinim]

Looks like you all had a great day Aberlour

[Aberlour]

^ We did mate. Just as well, because our plans for today and probably tomorrow look fucked because of the shitty English weather.

^^ The pics were from my S3, every one on this thread so far is. My old but half decent Sony Alpha needs a new lens, and my phone camera is far better than a £100 point and press I've got, believe it or not. Pisses me off though not having a decent zoom.

You're right mate, the place is spotless. Many years ago Folkstone had a big fun fair called Rotunda or something, the place was a complete shit hole and attracted all the scummy kunts from all around. These days it's a quiet, peaceful little town, and the local council must have spent a small fortune on that coastal path area.
