The Dogs shot is a common problem when taking photos of men walking. Especially at weddings when they’re all in suits too.

I looked at this photo for quite a while til I remembered what it reminded me of - the scene in Reservoir Dogs where all the various coloured misters were walking down the road……though of course in the film they are a)nattily dressed b)without children and c)on their way to commit a crime, so quite why I’m reminded of it I’m not sure but I am.

Walking? What are you doing?! Don’t you know they’ve invented cars for this sort of thing? Man, you Brits have been around a lot longer than we have, but… oh, wait. I’m sorry. I’m living in L.A.

Nobody. Walks. In. L.A. They look at you funny if you do…

I’m not sure if the walking stick is Nordic or not to be honest. It’s spring loaded, and didn’t help me one bit along the fairly flat canalside…

I thought that I’d been snapped picking my nose, but I’m glad to see that I was using the walkie talkie, and as was rightly pointed out, Dan was ignoring me.
To be fair to him though, his kept distorting both the sending and receiving of pointless messages, and we found it was a lot easier just to talk/shout to each other. Then the batteries went dead.

And Whit - shush!

That’s a great photo. That’s very sweet that you pretended a walking stick doesn’t make one look like a prat. You are a good friend.

You and that Red Sox shirt over there would be something like me wearing a cricket shirt here, right?

Except I don’t know a single cricket team.

It’s a walkie-talkie! I just thought Oli was picking his nose.

When he family went out for the New Year’s walk I was in bed releasing alcohol back into the world. My walking boots are crying in the corner.

I’m wondering about the walkie talkies. Seems to me that with the tight grouping in the picture a string and a couple of tin cans might have worked just as well. Or you could just turn around and speak in a normal tone of voice. But pictures can sometimes play tricks with depth perception.
