The HBIRT is inspired by bhumphrys recent resurrection of some great old artwork. I think this is a great service because much of this art is really pretty precious.
Thank you BH.-- doctorremulac3, Apr 22 2025 Fill your boots https://web.archive...http://bz.pair.com/ [bhumphrys, Apr 22 2025] Thanks [Doc] I do so agree. Follow the link to where I found a small treasure trove.-- bhumphrys, Apr 22 2025 It made me chortle when I looked at the URL- can you see why?-- bhumphrys, Apr 22 2025 Whoa! That's amazing!
Missing the funny thing though.-- doctorremulac3, Apr 22 2025 Well, "Bristols" for in the UK is cockney rhyming slang, inspired by the name of a middling-rank soccer club
'What a nice pair of Bristol Citys'! Would have been a traditional cry of appreciation, in the old days.-- bhumphrys, Apr 22 2025 Note: to post the link to one of these images in a halfbakery post, I found by error and error that you have to copy and paste the browser URL for the image, or it doesn't work.-- bhumphrys, Apr 22 2025 //Well, "Bristols" for in the UK is cockney rhyming slang, inspired by the name of a middling-rank soccer club

Ahh, very good.-- doctorremulac3, Apr 22 2025 That link Is cool, but there have been many more artistic contributions to this site lost over the years.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Apr 23 2025 What I just posted could be read incorrectly.
Not many more-artistic... many-more artistic.
The English language is rife with such fuckeries.
Not sure the fix. M'workin on it.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Apr 23 2025 One of the most frustrating things is a broken HB link. I have had many what I thought were golden beautiful original proposals, but a search of the archives here reveals a lack of of originality and eloquence because it's been already had* and usually better.
*Bummer I have minimal mastery of English, 2 fries.
But the trail often stops at the left hand column at a missing link. Same in the Wikipedia, so it seems to happen to the best.
Where to start, though?-- bhumphrys, Apr 23 2025 random, halfbakery
