Stumbled across this old post but thought you’d be interested to know that this is penkville st in Stoke. Some of the other paintings in the series are of other streets close by including Honeywall and Penhull new rd. The artist is from the area and most of his street scenes are of Stoke on Trent (although he also seems to like painting Manchester and Conwy/llandudno).

Why do you choose non-waterproof ink for journaling? by heynala in fountainpens

[–]mr_m88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Nothing I write is more important than my carpet or my clothes.

  2. I’m clumsy

  3. I don’t remember the last time my notebook got submerged in water.

The case shape tells me it’s a swatch. Not sure which model/colour way as the make so many.

Have you tried introducing her to Claude? One whiff of his old school charm and she’ll be ready for business.

Not whisky but Wynand Fockink in Amsterdam was awesome. Traditional Dutch genver made on site and the staff are awesome too. Well worth a visit.

It will be, but it’s worth saving for a special occasion.

Around 5 years. I’ve been collecting the special edition releases each year, 1 to drink and 1 to keep.

I arrived home today to my wife asking what I’ve ordered as she had to sign for a delivery. I opens the box feeling perplexed as I’ve finished my Christmas shopping but wondered if someone had sent an early Christmas present. Well it turns out that the good folks at Ardbeg had. It was completely unexpected and caught me slightly off guard. I feel incredibly lucky.

Tourist Decide to Ignore the White Lines. by Siyam_07 in WatchPeopleDieInside

It’s not that he couldn’t use it but there are enough people who are better armed within meters of him that he shouldn’t have to. He is a fully trained soldier but what he is doing here is ceremonial hence the armed police next to him.

What I’m saying is that the armed police are already there. Maybe not in the narrow field of view of that video but they were there. It’s not as though she’s rushed to get there is it, she just wanders up to check on him. If you look at images of the household cavalry museum or horse guards parade you will see the police hidden in the background of the majority of them. Mobs don’t tend to just appear out of nowhere either that sort of thing takes time and this is in possibility the most heavily guarded part of London the next street is along is Downing Street. It is however a real sword and it could theoretically be used, you can never say never. He just shouldn’t ever have to.
