I beg to differ.
The fact that this is the most famous silhouette in the world.
Despite being a devoted reader of Judge Dredd in the pages of 2000AD since the comic's launch in 1977, I wasn't impressed by the 2012 film 'Dredd'. It lacked the often very dark, and sometimes downright ludicrous humour that has always been prominent in the comics. The film's set…

RoboCop, was released theatrically in the US 38 years ago today. In Britain we had to wait until 5th February '88 to see it in cinemas, by which time I'd already repeatedly watched a good quality VHS bootleg purchased several months previously from a furtive bloke in a pub.
If you're in Leicester, please have a look at this. It will be Fabulous!!

I'm been watching Superman this evening. Specifically, a handful of episodes of this wonderful iteration.
At the beginning of spring I was somewhat dismayed by the shear amount of greenfly that had infested my oxeye daisies. Though they can be a common place wildflower, I think they are so very pretty. To my relief I saw a great number of ladybird larvae appear, perfect garden pest…
I found this pic on an old memory card. Taken at the Mailbox, Birmingham, January 2011. I wonder if they still have the Dalek on display there?
I have really enjoyed my #30DaysWild, June has been packed with wild moments. My absolute highlight was visiting the Puffins on Skomer. It was wonderful! 1/2
I've become quite besotted with Puffins over the last few years, having seen them in person at Bempton Cliffs, the Farne Islands and - only last week - on Skomar Island. I think I'll have to take a trip up to the Isle of May next summer... and, doubtless, @eloquent_puffin will be…
Spent a day earlier this week on Skomer with @eloquent_puffin. I lost count of the number of camera batteries she drained taking photos of those wonderful Puffins. My highlight of the day was watching a Short-eared Owl wheel in the sky above our heads. Didn't get a photo of the…
#30DaysWild day 26 - a cool evening walk with my bat detector yielded a spectacular aerial display of hunting bats. The street lamp lit up their frenetic flight and my detector picked up their echolocation. Listen carefully and you can hear their feeding buzzes (as sounds like…

The Peregrine Falcon was the second species to seize my imagination and set me on my birding journey. I find them captivating, even after all these years. Their plumage is akin to that of a Victorian gentleman; smart, elegant with regal posture. Add in those huge intensely dark…
Every birder needs a 'patch', since I moved 6 years ago I had been unable to find one. In my local area I had some lovely walks through farmers fields or along the canal, but not a wild open area. That is until now! Within walking distance of my home, The National Forest has…
Happy Birthday to the Sinclair ZX Spectrum home computer, first launched in the Britain on 23rd April 1982. I'm playing an old favourite - the beautifully designed "Factory Breakout" by Stephen J. Crow (Poppy Soft 1984)... but I'm more than a bit rusty after all these years!
Whether you are celebrating today or on the 28th April, I want to wish you a Happy St. George's Day! This beautiful illustration if from the Ladybird Book "A First Book of Saints" (1963).
