Can the Garry Glitter Fan Club take it elsewhere

Can a Mod sort Current Affairs out please!

I'm not sure how this photo 'captures our humanity'. It might have captured hers, but it only captures our sentimentality, really, which isn't the same thing.

I have always wondered what happened to him, he was a cheeky little shite and could speak quite good English

I still have the scar on my foot, you were the fecker that tried to touch my bottom

Well you shouldn't have given him a sneaky peek under your kilt first then, should you?

In 1483 I single handedly rode to Iran on a Donkey, and saved the world, with one arm tied behind my back, and only a plastic fork to my name.

Only to find out that Tropper had beaten me to it by a week, and he had done it blindfolded!

Bloody Liar!






Forks hadn't been invented then!*



*Addendum for pedants:OK apart from the Eyeties that is.

That showed him you are not a liar Brian.

I've got a kazakhstan stamp in my passport, it doesn't make me the village rapist.

You try far far too hard

Coming back to the original points, Steve McCurry's photo was virtually the only iconic image of the Soviet Afghan campaign, taken at a distance in a refugee camp. There were any number of images from Vietnam (think Don McCullin) which shows how the presence of the media on the battlefield can shape perceptions at home. I saw an exhibition of McCurry's work in Birmingham and he certainly produces high quality work

The Photo was made with Kodachrome, it was anounced that Kodachrome will no longer be produced, the growth of digital photography has seen the demise of traditional formats (more chemical and expense):
