The Wall
How can you
have any pudding if you don’t eat yer meat?”
We don’t need no education

No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone

Prince Philip Windsor-Mountbatten 1921-2021
– mini bike madness across Sandringham astride a red monkey called Easy Rider. Not quite Wyatt on his Stars ‘n’ Strioed tank’d Captain America but a fun bag of festivity nonetheless.

– another photo of Ewan and his favorite marque. This is a caféd Moto Guzzi Nuovo Falcone. The famous bacon slicer flywheel obvious on the drive side. The green color scheme of the workshop furniture even matches the fuel tank.
