Here is the perfect photo to keep you cool whilst embracing the football fever sweeping the globe during the World Cup: It is Ernest Shackleton's crew playing football on the ice in 1915, seen here beside the trapped hull of their ship The Endurance, a few weeks before it was crushed by the Antarctic ice pack and sank on 21st November 1915. The photo was taken by the ship's photographer Frank Hurley, which I originally cleaned & shared with you 5 years ago and which remained my most popular work for quite some time.
The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours
The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours.
A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause.
For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours and yours.
@QcWynter I have a question... if the GC party in a case has to swear an oath of truth which, if broken, could lead to perjury charges? How are they supposed to do that if forbidden to use legal and biologically accurate terms? Catch 22?
@anon_opin Sorry. 60s kid here. We didn't have a toaster so until I left home in the late 80s we always had toast done on one side under the eye-level grill. And occasionally toasted in front of the open fire. 😁
"I should not like to leave an impression that all structural problems can be settled by X-ray analysis or that all crystal structures are easy to solve. I seem to have spent much more of my life not solving structures than solving them."
