Billy Monk is supposedly drunk. And perhaps this is the source...
Billy Monk worked in Cape Town as a nightclub bouncer for Les Catacombs Club during the 1960s. He was an elusive figure; as a result many myths surround his life. Using a Pentax camera with 35mm focal-length lens he photographed the nightclub revellers, not to make a social statement but to make some extra money. His naïve style and intimate relationship with the subjects allowed him to capture the decadence, tragedy, humanity and joy of the period in a completely unique way.
Looks like she's definitely on her way
to Sausage and Mash!
For those of you with a tendency to Sausage and Mash (or crash) while Billy Monk, might I suggest this wonder new product now available over at the other BBC:
Blimey, if I were still smoking,
it'd be a wonderful box
for my Oily Rags!
Bicycle Swap Meet next Saturday (January 22) out here in my stamping grounds. If you're planning to attend let me know, maybe several of us BBC'ers can grab lunch afterward.
Everyone, Everyone!!!
My apologies for taking so long
and my appreciation for your patience ...
Although we're not with our British cousins in Oxford, we most certainly can beat the mid-winter blues with the BBC's Second Annual Cozy Hearth Tweed Ride. As per tradition, please be at our jumping off/falling down point for a 1pm (sharp) departure. Therefore, I would humbly suggest that the more "enbooziastic" Rob Roys & Ocean Pearls consider arriving at 11am when Beckett's Public House (formerly Belly's) commences its business day!
I've just submitted this august event for inspection.
Meanwhile, SAVE THE DATE!!!
