I have no idea where this one came from…
Sorry.

Barmaid Part Deux
I am forced to watch the foul Great British Bake Off TV show because New Wife loves it, otherwise I would never have heard of block-faced Paul Hollywood (which is, by the way, an excellent porn star name).
Anyway, said celebrity has apparently got engaged (again) to some barmaid totty:
…who is okay, although I have to confess that I preferred his earlier barmaid squeeze:
…because she’s a redhead, natch.
Yeah, you figured it out: I’m not at all interested in Paul Hollywood’s love life, and this was just an excuse to post chick pics.
Anyway, you may now carry on with your day.
Old-Time Beauty
Seen at CW’s place, this young lady epitomizes to me an old-fashioned vision of modest loveliness:
The pic is recent, the old-fashioned values are timeless. Small wonder some lucky guy has married her.
And Just In Time For National Ammo Day
…comes this news, also via CW:
Ammo maker announces Georgia factory, hiring spree for hundreds of jobs
In July, Italian gun maker Beretta bought Norma Precision and other ammunition makers from RUAG International, a company owned by the Swiss government, for an undisclosed price. Norma Precision had already announced that it was moving its headquarters to Georgia, setting up a factory in the Savannah suburb of Garden City.
Norma said 88 current employees in Georgia would be offered transfers. Employees will make an average of $57,000 a year, said company spokesperson Rose de Vries.
Last year, Norma Precision said it imported more than 400 containers of ammunition from factories in Europe, while also delivering more than 30 million cartridges of ammunition made in the U.S. De Vries said Norma would also export ammunition from the Georgia plant.
My only knock against Norma ammo has always been its cost. If that were taken out of the equation, and somebody were to tell me I could only shoot Norma rifle ammo for the rest of my life, I’d be perfectly happy to do so. Hell, I’d be ecstatic.
Reminder: National Ammo Day is on November 19th. You all know what to do.
One-Sided
For a change, this post should not be read as a complaint or anything like it. Here’s what prompted it:
In a candid interview, former culture secretary Nadine Dorries has revealed that she used to go on dates to get free meals because she was paid so little as a trainee nurse. Mrs Dorries left school at 16 and began training as a nurse at 18, but was shocked at the pittance she was paid.
‘It was not eating money,’ she said, revealing how she and friends would accept dates to get a free meal.
…and I’m not at all shocked by the revelation that women use sex (or even the vague promise thereof) to get money or whatever from men.
‘Twas ever thus, and we men have always acknowledged it without any kind of bitterness or rancor. Women have always had the upper hand in this regard, and it’s just the way of the world.
Indeed, I’m quite jealous of the fact that women can set up an OnlyFans account and, regardless of appearance*, sell online videos of themselves having a little sex fun, whether solo action or with a partner. (*No matter what they look like or how old they are, there will always be men who have a fantasy about that particular look, and are willing to pay for the privilege of seeing their fantasies brought to life, so to speak.)
Ditto all the InstaGram and TikTok “influencers”, of whom the biggest earners seem to consist mostly of hot younger women.
Is all this “unfair” to men? Yeah… whatever. I mean, no woman (and certainly no man) is going to pay a monthly sum to watch me clean a gun or sample different gins (probably the only two activities I’m capable of doing with any competence at this time of my life). I wish that were not true, but there it is.
Anyway, here’s a pic of Nadine Dorries, taken some time ago:
…shown for educational purposes to my Murkin Readers, who probably have no clue who she is.
