That Tom and Pete lived ... http://www.henrythethirst.com/index.php?p=734 Anyway, I was driving along in my car but I must admit that I wasn't paying full attention. I was fiddling with the radio and talking on my mobile phone and trying to light a fag at the same time. Next thing I know... SMASH! I've rear-ended the car in front. Well, the ... http://www.henrythethirst.com/index.php?p=733 I didn't make that joke up; Viv stanshall did, Gawd bless 'im. But my hands are dirty, once again, painting into the night and trying to smoke dog-ends. Here's a picture of the selfish-portrait. The flash doesn't really tell the story that it should but at least you can see that I'm ... http://www.henrythethirst.com/index.php?p=732 Here's some nice Chicken of the Woods. Here it is in slices, ready for some cookery. Mmmmmm, fry that stuff with whatever you fancy... Now here's a complete fry-up. Never listen to whatever anyone tells you about your artistic attempts.

As pictures go, it's not ... http://www.henrythethirst.com/index.php?p=731 If you ever have the misfortune to work in one of the modern, Satanic Mills, a call-centre, I can assure you of one thing.

Yum yum fried up with a bit of ... http://www.henrythethirst.com/index.php?p=729 What I do is I just start. See how things turn out. This evening I had to start repainting a wall. It wasn't my fault it's just some got oil paint got on the wall and was not the same colour. Luckily in my box of tricks I had some of ... http://www.henrythethirst.com/index.php?p=728 Don't get me wrong, there are a few points to the Simplictics that are worth a watch: 1. Who can run the quickest. 2. Who can jump the highest. 3. Who can jump the furthest (or is that farthest?). 4. Who can swim the quickest. Erm, That's it. So that Oswindlepics for you. Is is worth loads of ... http://www.henrythethirst.com/index.php?p=727 Thought you might like to see a few scenes from Thirst Hall. Well, whether you like it or not, here they come: It's my life and it's my daily brightness.
