He looks a bit like Ted Cassidy. He does! Is it a trick question, Father? Are they all dead? On the inside? Yes, would be a fair estimate... Clinically, only one of them is. |

Today, we dip in to the murky world of crime... Today, if a group of ladies murder somebody asleep in their bed, the first thing they do is to burn the mattress, in an attempt to hide the evidence... Not in the old days, no sir... In the old days, detection rates were so laughably poor, that after a group of gals murdered somebody in bed (possibly a deserving abusive husband, possibly just for a laugh, who knows)... the first thing they did in the morning was to gather around the bloody mattress, smiling and laughing for a group pic...  |

Either that or it's proof of some young lady popping her cherry. |

Today, we take a look at childhood... In the modern world, the amount of children suffering anxiety and depression is staggering... it really is an epidemic, with increasing numbers of children living in fear and worry... In the old days, children being frightened out of their wits was considered a good and healthy thing... In fact, back then, when parents thought their kiddies weren't scared enough, they took matters in to their own hands, to frighten the beJesus out of them, and raise their anxiety to 'healthy' levels...  |

Today, we turn our attention to the world of Victorian pet photography... Like today, Victorian people loved their pets, and would have their photographs taken to adorn their walls, mantelpieces, and such... Unlike today, they went all out bat shit crazy to dress them up as people... and I don't mean just stick a bow tie on their collar like today... They went the whole hog at the photography studio... even putting them in little human dioramas... This is such a rich vein of interest, that Victorian pets will probably become a regular feature on this thread... For today, I present this rather distinguished gentleman...  |

"I say Jeeves, fetch the pedigree markies" Besides, if dogs were running this world, it wouldn't be the colossal shithole it is today. |

Today, doing a proper job... These days, everyone wants instant gratification, and when doing a job of work, most people do a half arsed, slapdash, effort... so that they can get back to enlightening the world as to what they had for tea, on arsebook or twatter... Back in the olden times, people took pride in the job, even in entertainment competitions... there were no half measures back then... Take this photo of the winners of a perfect posture competition... they didn't just look at the lovely ladies to check their posture... they x rayed their spines to check how straight they were... that is attention to detail, and a proper job...  |

Looks like they had the same problem back in the day with selfies. You take a nice picture of lovely ladies, and a bunch of nobodies photobomb the picture! |

The answer to today's 'what's my olde worlde job' this gentleman was a 'FLUSHER'
He would daily go in to the sewers, and physically push the waste along all day to keep it moving...
The job still exists today, but as the sewers are much more efficient now, instead of just keeping it all moving along, they mostly clear blockages caused by kitchen fat, sanitary products, and baby wipes...
As well as the flushers, in Victorian sewers, you could also bump in to 'toshers'... a tosher made their 'living' by sifting through the sewer contents for anything to scavenge... many toshers were killed being caught out by flash floods, etc. |
