The Bonzo Dog-Doo Dah Band - Rawlinson End

My favorite song from a very magical band, and thanks to the detective work of Popgun Malone, I will post a bit more of during this week.

It is almost three years since Madge and Bobby Rawlinson pulled up roots and were arrested by the parks department. 
(The mandrakes screamed!)

Jeremy Sphincter has sailed for Australia after the poultry scare. (We won't mention HIM again.)
Old Mr. Trilonious stays on at the farm, now a broken man and an incurable alcoholic.
Apart from his regular visits to the village shop for a couple of tins of "Ready Rub", he hardly goes out at all.
And diverts his remaining years to breeding those beautiful guppies for which he is so rightly famous.

Sandra... smells.
Randy has turned in on himself - no mean feat for a forty stone man!
(And after all, he is still married to Sharon, and is only Paulette's father by the skin of his teeth!)

Poor Rosemary has her hands full at Rawlinson End,
trying to bring up Timothy and Leticia, now at that difficult age when they start ...asking questions... and wanking.

Meanwhile...

It is a little known fact that I am sometimes referred to as Popgun Malone. 

Really only by Steve.

fuckyeahtattoos:

Bird Lady, by Kelly Doty from Off the Map Tattoo. The design is based on an image (from a manga called Alichino) I have kept on my computer for more than 7 years. I figure since I still love it so much after all these years, I should get it tattooed on me.
The original image is a black-and-white outline with minimal shading. I handed it to Kelly, and she modified it a bit (eg. roses were drawn bigger) and chose the colors.
I live 3+ hours away from her studio, and drove all the way there and back by myself (worth it but never again!). The tattoo was done in one 5.5 hour session, with a small break for a late lunch. I finished most of a novel during that time!
I am absolutely blown away by the colors and gradients that Kelly has done for Bird Lady. I love it (and her) to death and I think I couldn’t have chosen a better artist to do this tattoo.
