SELF PORTRAIT



This is a reasonable likeness although I wish I could have chosen the lipstick colour; red is so last year.  For some mindless fun have a go here.  Enjoy!

My God... your head is larger than your body.

that one small head could carry all she knew"

I know calicolyst, that's the way it is in the virtual world it seems. Don't forget the website is German based :)

subrosa said...

Ha ha brownlie, long time since I heard that! It doesn't look that far off my profile picture though does it? Slightly younger perhaps?

subrosa said...

Spook, you're better as you are. These olive oiled muscular types always run to fat in middle age.

brownlie said...

subrosa,

My favourite poem - I must say you look delightful in pink and to me you're forever young!!

Did you notice Niko's colourful contribution on his site - usual nonsense but very colourful?

Subrosa that is me, what are saying ??

subrosa, load your picture into paint, and change the lip colour there.

subrosa said...

Yes I noticed brownlie, didn't you see my comment telling him to get over it? :)

subrosa said...

Spook yer a charmer I know, but yer no' daft enough to look like that. What woman wants a man who slips out of her fingers courtesy of olive oil?

subrosa said...

Conan, haven't I told you I'm quite hopeless with graphic software? Also I have a Mac and it's impossible to get free easy software for images. All the free stuff is 'heavy duty'.

Anyway I'm so last year too I suppose :)

Brownlie.......


Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Well, it is Sunday!

brownlie said...

Nikos,

Yes, slithy toves - the House of Lords, gyring and gimbling in the trough.

Now who could the "Bandersnatch" be? Anything to do with the Council tax bands?

Actually, I wrote part of a poem once some time ago when I was half-jaked and bored in a hotel room after watching Ernie Wise's play wot he had wrote. The Fergie mentioned was not Sir Alex but the Duchess of that name.

"I wouldn't care to borrow a razor
Wot had been used by Mad Frankie Fraser,
Or build a bon-fire in the park
while out for a walk with Joan of Arc
And I swear that I could not disclose
why I went down on Fergie's toes
But, I'd do anything for you"

The rest was, thankfully, lost in a haze of alcohol.

Okay, I'll get my coat.

I'm possibly a little late saying this today, but may I suggest you subscribe to Scottish Roundup if you haven't already.

This is a blog which does a weekly roundup of these blogs which are mainly on Scottish topics.

No matter what your opinions are they deserve to be heard and the more they are heard the better.

Very easy to subscribe too!

subrosa said...

Brownlie, such hidden talents. Next time you're engulfed by a creative haze of alcohol, please post the results. They could be interesting :)

subrosa said...

Aye Oldrightie, I'm trying to find things to occupy me next week because I refuse to watch anything on TV that could, no matter how indirectly, mention Brown and Obama.

Sad isn't it spending time doing that? I really must get out more. In fact I would if my car wasn't constantly at the car doc. Once the service and dent are sorted surely that will be the end for a while.

Faux Cu said...

This one is for Niko as I still cannot post on his blog.

Re the multicoloured postshop of today


Of course everyone uses offshore bank accounts Nikko. I do, don't you?

HM Inland Revenue, Customs & Excise does too!

They did a sale and leaseback deal of their property folio with an offshore company.

Tig!

Anyone see the brass necked article by Muriel Gray in The Sunday Herald today?

SNP cyberthugs!

I think she gives away the company she keeps with that Damsescene confession.

subrosa said...

Wasn't Muriel a pal of the McConnells? I say wasn't as I think her nose was put out of joint because she didn't get an invitation to their Italian pad (or was it Spanish?).

Muriel's a true supporter of labour and thereby a perfectionist of SNP negative narrative.

McGonagall said...

Ye look like a wee pink golliwog!

Anonymous said...

Frankly I have to agree with Muriel. There are some individuals out there letting the side down with their name calling and simple abuse. Then again there are more than likely some individuals pretending to be CyberNats to achieve just that.

McGonagall said...

Cyber Nat - is that you Karin? Aye - there are agents provocateurs oot there - ye hiv tae be careful.

subrosa said...

Read about that the other day cyber nat, wonder if we'll ever hear anything of it again?

Labour are masters of the burial of their corrupt behaviour.

Scunnert - that wis the idea! Yer the first tae spot it :)
