It's hard to tell which of the two them is the worst

That new Easyjet advert is based on the following artworks (in order of appearance):
Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa"
Michelangelo's "David"
Auguste Rodin's "The Thinker"
Johannes Vermeer "The Girl with a Pearl Earring"

and probably the two cherubs seen at the bottom of Raphael's painting "Sistine Madonna"

I knew the first three El but not the last one

Good morning Buddies

I was raining earlier but it’s stopping now. A 10% chance for the rest of the day. Breezy and not very warm either

Enjoy your day everyone

The last one was the hardest to identify and I can't be sure that it was based on that artwork though it's the most likely

By the way, the Sistine Madonna isn't in the Sistine Chapel, it's not in the Vatican City, it's not in Rome, it's not even in Italy, It's in Dresden where it's been since 1754.

Coincidentally, re that Sistine Madonna artwork:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-66291225

Who is the connection between these films:
"Joan of Arc" (1948) (Ingrid Bergman)
"A Star is Born"( 1954) (Judy Garland, James Mason)
"Bad Day ay Black Rock" (1955) (Spencer Tracey)
"Spartacus" (1960) (Kirk Douglas)
"Bonnie and Clyde" (1967) (Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway)

Unlikely that you would have heard of him, it was Carey Loftin, some regard him as Hollywood;s greatest stunt driver and also stunt work.
He was the unseen truck driver menacing Dennis Weaver in "Duel".

I can tell you go full through BBC local news. I used to do it. Took me 40 mins on a stepper. That's when I was fit

We all like parrots with a happy ending. Jeckyll though.

I think the only  dog I had that we named was Mandy. Two corgis we had called Mandy. It was Mandy Rice-Davies. That was the 60's. The other two were were rehomed. Chanel and Dolly.

Have a good one everyone on here   

I know you are good

My parents had a dog which was a cross between a corgi and a labrador, she was very affectionate.
She was called Penny after the Victorian stamp the penny black as she had black fur.

The rain has started here and isn't forecast to end until early tomorrow morning. The local weather station is showing 90 mm of rain so far this month. So could get to 100 mm level this month.

"At the Circus" (1939) isn't one of the best Marx Brothers films but it has Harpo playing "Blue Moon", possibly his best harp solo:
