Nah.. the blurry background tells me it’s most likely taken with a telephoto lens.

He’s probably safely up a hill a few hundred yards away, and isn’t the object of this in intense focus.

Hey…. I want to read about what to do with a mile of hot dogs!

Just in case, you know, I somehow acquire 3 quarters of a ton of hot dogs. (63,000 something inches in a mile, 6 inches per dog, 8 dogs to the pound… 1300 or so pounds. Close enough)

Could you please post page 17?
Thanks.

Going by the spread of the week’s dates, this is from 1958.

That’s correct… but how did you know what day of the week to start with?

Up until the mid-eighties (I think that was the changeover decade) TV Guide always started its schedules on Saturday so I went to a calendar site and figured out which year was reasonable for July 5 to be a Saturday.

I’m afraid you have a couple of actors mixed up.

The woman in the picture

is
Honor Blackman
who did play Cathy Gale….

But she’s pictured here

with
Sean Connery

her costar

in
Goldfinger

Wherein she played, as Steve notes, Pussy Galore.

The Eton graduate was Patrick MacNee, who played Steed to her Cathy Gale in The Avengers.

(C’mon, how many spoiler boxes do you want in one post?)

No, I haven’t those are my clues.
Honor Blackman did indeed play Cathy Gale in “The Avengers,” but James Bond was also a graduate of Eton.

He didn’t graduate — he was “expelled after two halves because of girl trouble with a maid”……….Wikipedia

I didn’t remember that it was Eton…

but I remember that he went to university briefly, as an adolescent, and later became an agent while still in his teens.

I started reading the books in my own late teens, and felt a certain lack of accomplishment on my part.

I got that he graduated from Eton through crossword clues through the years.
The crosswords were wrong or Wikipedia is wrong (I’ll go with it being the crosswords / legitimate studies have.shown that Wikipedia is as accurate as other print encyclopedias / if there are any print ones).

I just looked it up, because I thought I may have confused MacNee with Steed, in re graduating from Eton…

And discovered the they both were expelled, and neither graduated.

Two actors and two characters… all but Connnery attended, but none of them graduated from Eton…all expelled!

Sean Connery, I already know, spent his youth in “blue collar” jobs, mostly manual labor, not university, and was delighted to escape into acting.

But I found out that MacNee was expelled for selling pornography!

I’m pretty sure this is another June’s Journey (videogame) page, with the key either there or on another page that it scrolls while you’re searching for it.

I looked and looked and haven’t found it in this one… which doesn’t mean I couldn’t have missed it.

Maybe you’ll see it… But I give up.

There are a couple of things I thought might be hiding a key

including…
the brass curlicue that suspends the ceiling light…
But the one behind is the same, so I doubt it…

and the yellow (or possibly shiny brass) thing sticking up out of something, just to the left of the old saw that’s hanging to the left of the stove hood… But it’s too big, and I think it might be a flower.

I changed my mind, and anyway, the resolution isn’t good enough to say for sure.

That would at least be an improvement on Nighthawks’ description…. though not enough to make me look again🙈.

Quite a while back I posted about an article I read, in which a young woman was arrested and imprisoned by the Chinese government in Tibet, because she was wearing a Sgt Bilko T-shirt.

They insisted it was a picture of the Dalai Lama, whose image is forbidden there.

Anyone wearing or displaying it is assumed to be a supporter of the beloved, but banned, spiritual and political leader, and fomenting rebellion.

Eventually they were persuaded to let her go… the only resemblance is possibly the balding head and round-ish glasses… But it wasn’t easy!

Be sure not to bring pictures of Phil Silvers’ if you visit Tibet, or probably Nepal or China.

If you didn’t know it was Houdini, it would look like something from an old fetish magazine.

In answer to your question…. the Internet, the Internet!

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll have to put it back in my line-up.
