The former Debenhams shop in Eastbourne stands forlorn and unloved but it does have these two domes on a 1911 dated portion of the building.

You know, Earl, one of these days we're gonna make something of ourselves.
Whaddya mean, Cletis? You don't think we already have?
Look around you, man. You tell me. Is this the best we can do?
I dunno. I'm, you know, comfortable.
Earl.Put the crack pipe down and then answer the question.
Gee, do I gotta?
Nah.
You wanna hit?
No thanks.

Look at this place, Sid. It must have once been a great civilization.
That's obvious, Al. Long since dead though.
Too bad, eh? Only their temple remains.
What kind of god do you think they prayed to?
From what I'm seeing, a real tough motherfucker.
Best kind of god to have, far as I'm concerned.
Absolutely.

How'd you end up on my side of the bed?
What? This isn't your side.
I was sleeping there! I can't sleep on this side! How'd I end up here?
What difference does it make? You're asleep!
I slept terrible!. All because of you!
You don't think the cat lying on your face had anything to do with it?
The cat?
She looked so content, I didn't want to move her.
She was content because this is her side!
Your cat has a side of the bed?
I'd rather not answer that question.
Understandable.

The Central Committee Command Center is complete, comrade.
At last! Let’s take a look. Hey! What the. . . This place is destroyed!
Exactly, comrade! It’s the perfect disguise! The invading Amerikanskis will completely ignore it! Then we strike!
Are they invading, Arkady?
Based on who's running the clown show over there these days, comrade, I absolutely would not put it past them. Would you?
Not a chance, Arkady.

But no ice, ok?
No?
Something about that word makes my skin crawl, know what I mean?
I do. I totally do.

Winding Enginehouse

nobody@ipernity.com (tarboat) — Sun, 03 May 2026 06:33:33 +0000

tarboat has posted:

The Florence ironstone mine near Egremont continued in use until 2008. It was the last working deep iron ore mine left in Western Europe and produced ore, products for the cosmetics industry and high quality haematite for jewellery. Production ended when BNFL ended the contract for the mine to supply water and the cost of pumping rendered the mine uneconomic.

Neophobia

honeyj has posted:

Hey man, how's it going?
I'm good.
I'm just checking up on you. See if you need anything to fix up your place.
Nope, I'm set.
Really? Because it looks like you could use some new stuff in here.
New? No man. The last thing I want is anything that's, you know, "new."
Ok. Well, how about "functional?" Not to go completely overboard, but what do you think about that?
Hmmm. You may be onto something there.

That was quite a week you just had, Donny.
It was, wasn't it? Fantastic.
That's not what I meant.
It wasn't?
No. in fact, I can't believe the godawful mess you've made since you got back here.
Me?
You. And who the hell is gonna clean it up?
Hey! This place was a disaster before I got here!
You sticking to that bullshit? Anyway, not like this it wasn't.
So whaddya want me to do?
Grab a shovel and get to work.
Me?
Yeah, you. For once in your miserable worthless piece-of-shit life, do something real. Clean up your mess.
But I have bone spurs! My feet might hurt!
Really? Tell someone who cares.

No Surprises

I've been visiting your garden, lord.
Which one is that, archangel?
You know, Earth.
You mean what was once a garden.
True, although some beauty remains, despite the devastation.
Humans have made a mess of it.
They try one's patience, don't they?
Some do. But it may not be an issue for long.
Do you have plans, lord?
Maybe. Let's just say I've been tossing a stray asteroid around.
Oh?
A little exercise is healthy, I've heard.
I gather humans may not find it so?
No, but I'm not asking for their opinion in the matter.
No surprise there, lord.

Whatcha doin', man?
I'm cutting up some fresh vegetables for dinner.
Yeah? Where's the meat?
No meat. That's out. I'm increasing my intake of antioxidants.
No meat? Damn. How come?
Doctor says I gotta cut down on all those free radicals. Know what I mean?
You mean those radicals are still free? Wow. I mean, I thought they was all thrown in jail years ago.
What? No, man.
So they out. Cool.
Sure. Whatever. Have a carrot.
I never knew you were so political.
Yeah, well these are turbulent times.
Right on with that.

Holy cow, Bert, you see that guy? He is obviously shit-faced.
Dammit, Earl! I told you it was time to stop serving drinks to him!
Well, he sure made a mess of this place, didn't he?
Which you are going to clean up, right?
Sorry, Bert, no can do. I gotta drive this loser home.

Wanna go to the market with me? We need a few things.
Nah, I'm working on a new project, and I may be close to a breakthrough.
What project? You've been lying on the damn couch all day!
That's the point. It's all about conservation of energy. A very important principle these days.
What about me? I'd like to conserve some energy.
Sorry, you're not part of the algorithm.
How do I get to be a part?
Get me some ice cream while you're out and I'll see what I can do.

Good morning, Herr Doktor.
My boy, you're here just in time! Behold my new invention! I can now merge space and time! Distance has been rendered irrelevant!
Wow, that's great, Doktor. What does it do?
You are about to see! Just step into my specially-designed booth over there.
Ok. Now what?
There is a duplicate booth on the other side of my lab. I'm going to send you there, molecule by molecule. Instantly!
What? You mean you're going to take me apart?
And put you back together again! You won't feel a thing!
Have you done this before?
Well, er, yes. With your predecessor.
And did it work?
Yes! Well, he went somewhere, at least, pieces of him. . . did.
Somewhere? Where is he?
Floating in the ether, likely disembodied. Hard to say, actually.
Disembodied? Oh my god!
Don't worry about a thing! But you better let me hold onto your wallet. Just as a precaution, of course!
I'm not sure about this, Doktor.
Good thing lab assistants grow on trees!
What?
Science!

Hello, lord. Is there anything on the agenda today?
Kind of a slow day, archangel. But I've got my eye on a new toy.
Really?
Yes. I used to hang out with the owner. He's passed on, but it's still there.
Cool.
I'm gonna take it on vacation. Build some amazing sand castles.
So. . . it's like a pail and shovel?
Think bigger, archangel.
Oh yes?
Much bigger.

You know. Elvis' house. Man, I was not expecting this. Can't they afford, like, housekeepers?
Dude. What are you saying?
Paul Simon's supposed to give us a tour!
Those edibles were pretty good last night, weren't they?
Totally! Oh wait. You mean. . .
No Paul Simon. Now go clean your room.

Is Monsieur dining with us tonight?
Oui, Marcel. You may prepare my usual table, s'il vous plait.
Very good, sir. Would you care for an apéritif?
Oui. And a cuban cigar.
And for dinner, sir?
I'll be having a whole hog, thank you.
Roasted? Or broiled, with pecans, perhaps?
No just bring me the hog and a butcher knife. I'll take care of the rest.
Very good, sir. I'll have one brought around.
And a bucket. A big bucket.
As you wish, Monsieur.
You might want to tarp the area too. This will be somewhat. . . messy.
I shall see to it immediately, Monsieur.
