New tattoo (details)

I've decided I won't post my tattoo on this blog. Well, certainly not yet, and maybe not ever. The final image that we came up with is a one-off, and unfortunately people are prone to taking images from websites and copying them.

Most tattooed people, of course, borrow and adapt other images (including tattoos), and once something is on the Web, it is incredibly difficult to prevent said borrowing -- or, worse, theft.

It's perhaps hypocritical of me to say this, given how many images I take from websites for use on this blog: politicians, musicians, actors, etc. But I know I'm a hypocrite and make no bones about it!

So, I'm really happy with the way it has come out so far. There's a long road ahead of me, and many womanhours for the wife of soaping me up and rinsing me down, before she pats me dry with paper towels. Some gals get all the luck, right?

Anyways, here are a couple of details of the backpiece. Those of you who have expressed an interest will receive an unsolicited mail from me with a small image file of the whole thing attached (provided I can find your e-mail address). If you don't get a mail and would like to see the pic, feel free to leave me a comment or drop me a line and I'll mail it to you.

Nothing to report

I had to go to The Town Of London Town today, which is why I ain't posted nuffink. Hopefully I'll have time to do one tomorrow. In the meantime, I was pleasantly surprised by this picture, which I took from the train on my way back home. The speed of the train coupled with the slow shutter speed on my phone means you never know what you're going to get (just like that retarded fucker and his box of chocolates), so when something half decent emerges, it's some cause for celebration!

More SPAIN stuff, with FULL-COLOUR PICTURES!!!

Parrots just fly around freely in certain parts of Seville. How fucking mad is that?! And how cool?


They were flying around near this column, a memorial to Christopher Columbus. I guess it sort of seems appropriate.


I think Red missed the point when I said a wanted a little head one evening...


The Mezquita, formerly a mosque but with a Catholic church built inside it, is a truly breathtaking building in the town of Córdoba. The interior is filled with these amazing columns and striped arches. There are some 850 of them.


This is me pointing up at our hotel room in Granada, where we stayed for one night to visit the Alhambra. Lovely hotel; big keyring (see Red's post, if you haven't already).


We went to see some damn cool flamenco, too.


Us two, on our last day in Seville, still smiling, despite knowing we had work to come home to.
