Split screen. On one side Andrew Tate, nattily attired in dark grey Capri pants, a purple shirt and black loafer type shoes. Plus a real blingy necklace. On the other side a female model posing for a picture in a George at Asda advertising brochure. She is wearing a purple blouse, dark grey Capri pants, black loafer type shoes and a not quite so blingy necklace.

Lady Cassandra O'Brien from Dr Who - a piece of yellowing skin stretched taut in a rectangular frame. The skin has flattened features- two eyes and a mouth - and blood vessels can be seen through the surface

Two standing stones on the ladies golf course at Lundin Links. They are both leaning, in opposite directions. They are in a straight axis away from the camera, so the effect is of a large V.

Judy: You should tell me about it as it's a scheduled media appearance by a member of this department and therefore it falls well within my purview Malcolm Tucker: Within your purview? Where do you think you are, some fucking regency costume drama? This is a government department, not some fucking Jane fucking Austen fucking novel! Allow me to pop a jaunty little bonnet on your purview and ram it up your shitter with a lubricated horse cock

A photograph from the Wikipedia Cissie and Ada page. Two men in drag; Roy Barraclough as the slightly more middle class Cissie with nicely set hair and a red themed outfit next to Les Dawson's avowedly working class Ada in brown. Taken from the 1970s TV programme The Les Dawson Show. The best photo I could find of Ada with crossed arms. Part of her characterisation was to cross her arms beneath her bosom and sort of shimmie the arms to hoist the bosom up, indicating disapproval of whatever she and Cissie were discussing.

An image of the 1960s cartoon character Marine Boy. He is wearing a red diving suit, he has pink skin, brown hair and eyes and Luigi Mangiami's* eyebrows. Marine Boy is shown just about to throw his underwater boomerang. He doesn't need any breathing apparatus as he's chewing "oxy-gum" * Possibly spelled wrong
They tuck you up, your Mum and Dad They read you Peter Rabbit too They give you all the treats they had And add some extras, just for you They were tucked up when they were small (Pink perfume, blue tobacco smoke) By those whose kiss healed any fall Whose laughter doubled any joke. Man hands on happiness to man It deepens like a coastal shelf So love your parents all you can And have some cheerful kids yourself

The front cover of an old book. The cover is red, its title "How Jack Mackenzie won his Epaulettes" is tooled in gold leaf and occupies the top quarter of the cover. Below that is a panel filled with rows and columns of Rennie Mackintosh type stylised roses, also red.
A stone grave marker with a bronze panel at the top. The panel was sculpted by Henry Moore and comprises a pair of three dimensional hands, protruding towards the viewer. I find it to be the stuff of nightmares

Lupin, a small black rabbit with silly short ears and shiny fur, sitting on a blue towel on my knee. His nose is bald, a hangover from myxomatosis, which he survived because he'd been immunised

A picture of the Alfred Jewel. This is a spectacular item held in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. It is believed to be the hand part of an aestel - a tool to point at words in books as they are being read. It comprises a teardrop shape enamelled picture of a man, set behind rock crystal. The image and crystal are held together by an intricately worked gold casing on which are Latin words translating as 'Alfred caused me to be made'. At the bottom of the teardrop is an animal head. The pointer would have been secured in its snout. It is utterly beautiful and very, very desirable.

Two of the three standing stones, both now leaning and so capable of being viewed as a V for Victory. The grass around them is well maintained, cut short. The sky is summer blue. To the left are houses that butt onto the golf course.
