Those The Beatles Yellow Submarine bookends look...

Paul is dead.
Not really, just joshing, so far as I've heard. It could sell a lot of albums, though.
Enjoying your posts, as usual, Jyri.

As a Beatles nut. I have alwa...
As a Beatles nut. I have always hated that most of their paraphanelia is quite ugly.

I agree Whitespike.
A friend has a Beatles Warhol or two, but can't really remember much about them at the moment. They seem to be about the most acceptable of their ilk. Who did their album covers?

No matter are The Pirate Parties International right or wrong,
truth is, records are no longer very big business. Which means that artist merchandising is more important than ever.
I purchased this The Yellow Submarine mug from Silja Line Tax Free (I think that they sell only genuine items) and time will tell is it really microwaveable and dishwasher-proof.
It would be shame if Jeremy The Nowhere Man or Jeremy Hillary Boob Ph.D., or what is that curious creature called, fades too soon.

I personally love the YS Corgi Toy
Have one sitting on my Heywood Wakefield corner table and it looks great!

I'm not sure about this Julian Brown's CD rack,
CD boxes are made from fragile plastic, so they must not drop on the floor. DVD and Blu-Ray are improvement in this area too.

I'm ashamed of alcohol culture in my country.
Too often Finnish drunks use glass objects as weapons, sometimes with fatal conseguences.
So if someone designs Bat & Ryyd Beer Pint, better make it from unbreakable plastic.

Who did a lot of the Beatles designs and artwork is my next door neighbor. Just thought I'd share that.

It is the same here Jyri, very stupid people, I wouldn't approach or ask louts to calm down anymore, a broken glass in the face is a real possibility.
Nice to see you back Olive.

I've heard it called 'bottling'
I heard it called that when I was in England, which is also where the Beatles come from.

The human animal has a limitless capacity to make an ass of itself
often with quite unpleasant side effects! Alcohol not required!
Hi Heath, nice to 'see' you too! Been really busy with work/life of late; not had time to visit much. But I'm slowing down a bit now, so likely will be around a bit more. Next week I hit the dreaded 1/2 century b-day...although I'm not really dreading it, but I am taking a bit of time off to appreciate it! I am definitely a MCM piece!

Happy birthday, Olive.

Cocktails and cake for all!
Best,
Park, aka Mark.
