Was watching a 'Vintage British Railways Film', and this scene ended up becoming one of my favorites

Rescued or orphaned baby leopards often develop strong bonds with their caregivers during rehabilitation, especially when they are too young to survive on their own in the wild.

Selfie of John Lennon whilst using his two and a quarter square Rollieflex. Photography was a passion when he could find spare time within his hectic life.

The sights and sounds of our old steam trains racing through the British countryside fill me with genuine warmth. 🚂⏳️

Art so realistic, it's hard to believe it's not a photograph, Michael James Smith!🤩

July 17th 1946, Petula Clark made her UK television debut appearing on the Cabaret TV series at the age of 13. Clark began with guest spots on radio when she was only 9 and made her first film a year later. ‘Put Your Shoes On Lucy’ was released as her debut song in 1949. Clark's professional career began during the Second World War as a child entertainer on BBC Radio. She has written over 200 works, including film themes and incidental music, an original London stage musical, an un-staged musical and a top 10 hit with You're the One recorded by The Vogues in 1965. 92 years young in 2025!

July 17th 1967, Jimi Hendrix plays his eighth and final show as the opening act for The Monkees, which understandably does not go well as Monkees fans want nothing to do with Hendrix.

Keir Starmer a man with so little integrity he called to abolish the Monarchy then accepted a Knighthood. Pledged never to appoint a peer, makes Sadiq Khan a peer. The most disingenuous PM in living memory.

They say politicians are all the same. Widdy was living proof that they are not. She was 1 of a kind. We shall not see her like again. Rest in peace, Ann. If there is a God, as you so firmly believed, He has surely prepared a seat for you at His table, right next to the argument.

Brighton Works, ex-Morden, at place of work. The first picture I saw of her, was in a much more sorry state, as we lost her in 1963, or thereabouts. Old girl.

What’s peculiar, five holed Stocks; Might have been useful for a third victim in mind with peg leg at busy times?

هذا القط الجميل ذو الشعر المجعد ليس من صنع الذكاء الاصطناعي بل قط حقيقي ينتمي إلى واحدة من أندر سلالات القطط في العالم، وتُعرف علمياً وعالمياً باسم سلالة "سيلكيرك ريكس" (Selkirk Rex)، وتُصنف كسلالة طبيعية ناتجة عن طفرة جينية تلقائية، وتتميز بجسد قوي ممتلئ، ورأس مستدير، وفراء كثيف يأتي بدرجات تموج مختلفة منها القصير والطويل، وتعود جذور هذه السلالة إلى قطة مشردة عُثر عليها في مأوى للحيوانات في ولاية مونتانا بالولايات المتحدة الأمريكية، تبنتها مربية قطط محترفة تُدعى "جيري نيومان"، وقامت بتزويجها مع قط من سلالة "الفارسي الأسود" (Persian)، لتبدأ من هناك خطوط إنتاج السلالة رسمياً.
ظهرت هذه السلالة لأول مرة في عام 1987. واعترفت بها المنظمات العالمية الكبرى لرعاية السنوريات (مثل TICA وCFA) رسمياً في التسعينيات وبداية الألفية.
