Please Hold...


 Remember that scene in Jaws 2 in which Chief Brody is trying to convince Mayor Vaughn and the rest of the town council that the photograph retrieved from the missing divers' camera is of a shark?  Well, I've been dealing with a (not very) similar situation - as you can see from the image above - which is why I haven't been around much lately (although I have been visiting your blogs when I can).  More on that in a bit.
 To be honest, what with the above and other matters, it'll probably be a little while longer before I'm back to my semi-(ir)regular posting and commenting.  So, in the meantime, here's some 'hold music':

"Mysterious Times" - Sash! feat. Tina Cousins
 
"You're Not Alone" - Olive
 
"Not Over Yet" - Grace

 Anyway, here are some slightly clearer photos of the "shark":


Bitey

I mean, Bertie.  (Don't let that "butter wouldn't melt" look fool you!)

 And here's guilty pleasure A1 with "Make It Good" to see us off:



Oh, and a little teaser of one of the other things I've been working on:

  1. A young werewolf ? Oh dear ... welcome Bertie.

    I think the only time intergalactic toilets were mentioned, was somewhere in the Hitchiker's Guide regarding that restaurant at the end of the universe. No clue why this appears in my head now.

    1. Oh, gods, I know why! The collar of that black & white folded robe looks like a toilet seat! Especially in such close proximity to the bottom.

  2. I'd better let Scarlet know...stat! If Bertie and Sid get together it'll be the end of the blogosphere as we know it.

  3. Tribbles have teeth?!

    Three great 90s dance choons, a new puppy, and one of my 1990s totty faves Ben Adams, to boot? Ambassador, you are spoiling us... Jx

    PS The USS Enterprise must have had gazillions of toilets - who the hell had the job of cleaning them all? And where did the shit go?

    1. Jon, I'm sure the Enterprise could afford self-cleaning toilets and space roombas given there supposed advancement in the human timeline. ;)

    2. Well Jon, it is all a big circle isn't it ?

  7. That picture is disturbing me and I can't figure out quite what it is. But please tell me the warty wand hasn't returned?

    1. No, no warty wand.

      Not that there ever was one...

      As for the picture, the dark patch on the right is Bertie's gaping maw - and the two pale patches at the bottom right are teeth!

  8. BERTIE!!!

    p.s. I shall refrain from posting a link to the warty wand photo, for the moment.

    Note to ProximaBlue: I can't leave a comment on your blog but I enjoyed Ms Froggy. Thank you!

  10. What in the world? You would allow that adorable, sweet little monster to come between you and your adoring public? Why... it's criminal, my dear. Clearly, your heart has chosen and... it wasn't us. It's them! Look, I understand. He's regaling you with attention, capturing your eye... but looks aren't everything. Is it... is it an age thing? A mid-life crisis thing? No... no, I guess I don't understand. Well, mister... you listen, and you listen good... that adorable little mug of his is going to age... yes! It happens to all of us, Dorothy! He's going to age just like the rest of us. So, go ahead... enjoy your fling. I want you to be happy. But - if you think the rest of us, your adoring public, are going to sit on our hands and still be here when this whole infatuation phase of yours has run its course, well...

    ...you'd be right!
    Kizzes, hon. Enjoy your new love.

      Or maybe your tummy...?
