Oddly enough, Roger's mansion in the Hamptons is 50 miles East of there, and his townhouse in Manhattan is 50 miles West! Each one cost him right around $15 million.

The Ummagumma damselfly(dragonfly) discovered in Gabon is named after the Pink Floyd 1969 album Ummagumma.

Two recent PF related spotting of things.

First, the hero in a Malaysian comedy horror film is wearing a PF t-shirt. The film is 'Hantu Kak Limah' (Kak Limah's ghost).

The second is an example of work by a tattoo parlour in Leicester.

I see what you did there. :-;

Any idea why the tattoo is flipped?

Hmmm.... I took it with the main camera of my phone, which shouldn't flip photos. And, I didn't process it before uploading. So: I don't know. I have so many photos on my phone it would take some time to find it, so please tell me if you would like me to investigate further.

On Saturday when I go back to a nearby shop, I'll try and look at the original in the shop window to see if it is flipped.
