mens and womens

Recently I went to see the film 'The Railway Man.' I was upset about the frightful treatment of the soldiers,  but enjoyed the film overall because of its message of hope for a peaceful world.  A friend who saw it with me said there was nothing in it that she hasn't seen in documentaries about the terrible conditions under which Allied soldiers slaved on The Thai-Burma Railway, but I think the gut-wrenching impact of the torture occurs because the viewer is so immersed in the main character's point of view.

Anyway, that's not what I'm blogging about here...

I can't resist showing these two photos of the male and female toilet signs at the picture theatre. Why pay all that money for such a posh, well-lit sign and not employ someone who knows about the apostrophe of possession?

Hi, I would like to use your image of a muddy dog (on your other site) for my client on Facebook/Twitter. Would that be ok? It's raining so much here in the UK I'm writing about how muddy dogs get. Could you email me louise@bigredboxpr.com if that's ok? Many thanks.

That's fine, Louise. I'd be grateful if you could put a reference to my blog when you use it. I presume it's the one from 16 October 2012? I'll email you.

I loved it too, and I read The Narrow Road to the Deep North after that. What a tragic tale.
