I made this many years ago
A meme, two images. First is a bus crossing a railroad. The bus is labelled "code almost compiled". Second is the bus being smashed by an incoming train. The train is labelled "borrowck".

Did not enjoy bath
A photo of a chocolate brown skinny spaniel in a living room. Only his head and chest are visible. He is very visibly damp, and has a sheepish look.

Years ago on the bird site I used to run an account called Labour In Colour, where I hand colourised photos of people and events from Labour history. Is there an appetite for something similar on here?
A colourised portrait photograph of Clement Attlee. He wears a green and yellow tie and a dark pinstripe tie. He appears to be in his early 50s.

A photo of a dark brown spaniel on a sofa, staring at the camera. He is gangly and has long ears. Despite this, he is attempting a serious expression.
