There was a thing I bookmarked for possible inclusion in Monday Links the other week: Powerful Portraits of Individuals Before and Directly After Their Death - Feature Shoot

No plummeting, they're mainly in hospices

The Irish have this lovely custom of giving a wake when people die, which means having to sit in a room where your dead relative is in a corner of the room in an open coffin, not a pleasant experience.

Ah yes, the dead granny/granpa in the coffin in the front room.

I remember that sort of thing.

Doesn't happen so often now we all have double glazing, where the windows don't open wide enough to get the box in & out.

You do if you jump 40, place where I worked in London had someone jump off the building, they had to cordon off quite a considerable area and it took then two weeks to properly clean the pavement, but even that didn't remove the blood splatter.

In that sequence above there's a pic of some lune doing a somersault 16 floors up on the edge of a building.

Unfortunately he lost his balance when he landed.

And there's some unfortunate falling from one of the twin towers.

The most depressing thing is after a few of them you get used to it

I hate it.

Couldn't be ar$ed making macaroni cheese, so made some soda bread instead.

Should be out of the oven in an hour.

Having been to these places before I would agree that BROR which was the first was by far my favourite

Some of the food was bollocks though.

Just had a PimpCall™ about a possible gig. In Penrith

Not at all sure I want to go that far, but in theory there could be one or two days a week from home, depending on the needs of the contract (i.e. one, occasionally, if you're lucky).

Also not that keen on the agency, who have a mixed press on here.

I'll check out the details, but I may pass on this one
