In Port Naain such barbarism is banned, but may linger in the the darker corners of Uttermost Partann

And is a tale used as a last resort to frighten recalcitrant children into behaving.

I suspect it might be used as a last resort to frighten recalcitrant parents of young children into behaving.

"Behave or we give your children bagpipes and a hurdy gurdy"

In very serious cases add a drum kit.

got a name for the painter/painting, it's fascinating

Adriaen van der Werff - he was a fascinating guy!

thanks, found it now, wondering what the person at the front is holding!

It's a mouse trap, according to the person who posted the picture on Twitter.

now that is fascinating, build a better mouse trap
A lot of his other stuff is also interesting :-)

I read his wikipedia entry and he had an interesting life and career!

yes he was impressive :-)
And I like his stuff

And of course a nice haircut

You probably have a backlog of pictures at the moment, but I couldn't resist this one :)

I don't see why you should resist it
But I've managed to use some of the backlog :-)

How do you come across these pictures GL? Do you purposefully go on an obscure picture search?

It's a question I've never dared ask :-)

No, a lot of them are from Twitter. Sometimes I stumble over one when looking for something else. I do occasionally specifically search for one sparked by a conversation with Jim.

Not nearly as nefarious as I had hoped

Wait, do you want me to start looking for pictures? I don't want to get banned from this thread!

Artist using own children as models?

they've got more children than entirely necessary for an artist starving in a garret ! :-)

Jim wrote: "they've got more children than entirely necessary for an artist starving in a garret ! :-)"

The children are a large part of why they are starving in that garret.

The children are a large part of why they are starving in that garret."

Apparently wailing is more profitable than spreading rumour. Unless planned and organised by Mutt, of course.

Have some carrots. (from Twitter)

pondering the rabbit :-)

I think you are doing just fine with the pictures without having to go looking for them!

It's surprising what Tallis can use :-)

And a matter of perspective

Rabbit and carrot stew for dinner :)

I recognise that picture :)

This teacher is cross-eyed - he can't control his pupils...

I love it, the detail!
The boy over on the left whose backside is falling out of his trousers!
The child offering a pair of spectacles to the owl
And there seem to be two teachers, one may be a woman

And nominated!

Tallis must be cery pleased

Very, even...

Well done

thanks Rosemary
He's so chuffed even I might get a drink out of him :-)

Well done Tallis - I raise a toast to you.

Here's a joke to celebrate.

Q: What warning shout do you give when pushing a bull off a bell-tower?

A: "WATCH OUT BELLOW!"

groan, and I don't want the picture of it :-)
