Behold the TERROR of our Halloween display!
A crap Halloween vignette featuring a giant skeletal rat attacking a pumpkin, a small knitted witch kept upright by leaning her against strategically placed pumpkins and a silver skeleton, one of whose arms lies on the floor next to it. Possibly why the skeleton looks aghast at the situation.

It's a dreary day out there, but here are some autumnal pictures of Hertford Castle and the grounds.
A large, castle like building in autumn leafed surroundings A calm river winds away into the distance, the banks lined with trees A winding path follows a river through parkland to a wooden bridge. In the background is a large mound of earth all that remains of the Norman motte and bailey castle that once stood on the bend of the river. A view of a castle like building in the middle distance. Next to it is a tree.whise leaves have turned with the coming of autumn.

When do we get cool hackers, magic and half the population mutating into trolls and elves amd the like?
The cover of the 1st Edition of the Shadowrun role playing game from the late 1980s. Three ne'er-do-wells are engaged in naughty deeds. They are all dressed in the 80s idea of rad futuristic clothing and sheltering at the corner of a building. The man on the left, who is probably an elf judging by his pointy ears, is hardwiring his brain into a computer, probably to steal information, the man on the right is dual wielding sub-machineguns and shooting at rival gang members who are taking cover behind a parked car round the corner and the woman in the middle is performing some form of fire based spell.

Either Ford Prefect or 70s cop drama.
A man dressed in a pinstripe jacket, dark trousers and a Pringle style jumper. He is carrying a canvas satchel and holds a prop copy of an electronic book. He also really knows where his towel is. The head and shoulders of a man leaning against a battered brick wall in the autumn sunlight. He wears a brown corduroy jacket and a brown and cream jumper with a turtleneck. His hair is starting to get longer.

The due at the front is having a bad enough day as it it, and now has to deal with a spear to the groin to top it all off.
A picture of a medieval battle, at the foot of which a prone soldier is receiving a spear thrust to the groin, which is either the death blow or someone adding insult to injury as he lay dying in any case.

A pint glass full of beer with a rather too frothy head stands next to the can from whence the beer flowed.

Not enough Doctors though.
The front cover of the book "The Three Doctors" by Terrance Dicks. A man in a giant green hued mask holds his hands over the heads of the first three Doctor Whos, who are all white men of advancing years, but no less cool for that.

Blue shirts aren't the issue. It's about the tie.
A man wearing a charcoal grey suit, blue shirt and pink floral tie. He is stood in an office with frosted glass panels known as the fishbowl. The tie needs a bit of straightening.

Stronger tache action than I ever managed.

Exhibit A (with my wife, who laughed hysterically when I announced my intention to grow a moustache, and was ultimately proven correct)
A picture of an idiot with a terrible moustache and his beautiful wife. Both are wearing floral attire and holding a glass of passable white wine.

The one on the left is too short, the one on the right too long for my tastes, but what do I know?

But I'm a floral tie man myself.

Exhibits for the Prosecution A - C.
A blue tie with white flowers on a very crumpled duvet. A man in a grey suit and floral tie in a coffee shop. Green flower shaped cufflinks.
