Here’s the third and final batch of madness from the vault this week. Have fun with these and I’ll bring you more in the not too distant future (next week most likely).
Seems as though there is a bit of a theme here with the elderly but I promise it wasn’t intentional. Total coincidence.
Take care and have a great weekend.

Welcome one and welcome all to the makings of a comprehensive family album of memories. My plan is to post (privately) pictures and short stories about us and the children so that they have somewhere to learn and reminisce about the past. Physical photo albums get lost or damaged so I thought, “why not utilise the power of the internet?” We can all access these pages via our laptops, tablets and smartphones at any time.
If you have any stories or pictures that you want to add, don’t hesitate to send them to me via email (elliottodeh@gmail.com) and I’ll post it up as soon as possible.
- NB – To view these pages you need to have a password, I’ll be emailing or texting this to family members only. Stand by for future updates.

Here’s another three images that were staring at me today and caused me to either think or laugh. Take a look and feel free to share them with friends (although I would prefer you advising your chums to visit here instead, but hey ho).
Enjoy.

Like a lot of people I receive a lot of stuff from people through various means. Online, I get tonnes of pictures, sound files and documents via email, forums and social networks. Below are a couple of images that made me smile last week. I’m thinking about making this a regular feature on this blog, so check back often for updates.
I’ve introduced you to my friends Kareem Berjaoui and Nathaniel Tomlinson before with a much earlier piece they did in 2009.
They’re still making short films now and below is a selection of their most recent releases. Welcome world to PacifistFilms!
Justice at last.
Eighteen years to get to this point is ridiculous but at least we’ve finally arrived. I was celebrating my ninth birthday on 22nd April 1993 when an eighteen year old Stephen Lawrence was chased and murdered by a group of racist idiots.
Eighteen years later and I’m now 27 with two children.
Eighteen years of waiting for this outcome with Dobson and Norris.
There are still other killers who may never be brought to court but at least both Doreen and Neville Lawrence have some semblance of resolution, although still lacking closure. Mr Lawrence said:
“Justice should be swift and sure. The killing was sure but the justice is incomplete because there are still killers on the loose. Somebody in the community who knows where the other three are has some moral obligation to let their conscience be their guidance and speak out.”
My thoughts are with the Lawrence family as they always have been. I haven’t comfortably been able to celebrate my birthday for years due to heavy thoughts about sharing an anniversary with Stephen’s death. It’s helped me to accept my own mortality and only intensifies my resolve in my abhorrence to prejudice of any kind.
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 4,200 times in 2011. If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 4 trips to carry that many people.
I have no idea how I let this go by me especially as I’m a huge fan of the movie. A pilot has also been released but can not be viewed now by official means. Guaranteed, you will be able to find a site somewhere on the net that has a stream (just ask Google).
I can’t wait for the series to begin next year. Fans of the Boondocks will be cheered by the fact that Carl Jones is writing the series, it’s guaranteed to be adult, over the top and hilarious.
