THE HARD ROCK CAFE'S ROCK AND POP COLLECTION

There's some amazing items in the Hard Rock Cafe's.

Rolling Stone Brian Jones' VOX guitar is just one!

Fill your head with rock!

But what can you eat there?

PUTTING THE R IN ROCK

Reader Brian F sent in these scenic and dramatic shots of his latest work site, the front and roof of the Hard Rock Cafe in Atlantic City, New Jersey USA, where the R was being lifted up to join the O in Rock!

Have you been to Atlantic City readers or indeed any of the rock memorabilia - stuffed Hard Rock Cafes?

REDBOX AGENTS

I was surprised by these other Redbox special agent sets. I'd no idea that they released sets that weren't in attache cases like the one posted the other day.

These sets seem to be made up of the same items.  I saw these on Worthpoint.

Have you seen sets like these with no case?

EXCLUSIVE CAPTAIN SCARLET ART PANEL BY PAUL McCAFFREY

Hello Woodsy

Hope all's well with you. I'm still an avid reader of the blog – though one of your recent posts did make me wince!

I don't know if you've heard but Network's final Captain Scarlet blu-ray is available as a deluxe thingy with art cards, extra bits and a comic. 

And I've drawn one of the strips – Martin Baines, the other. 

I asked if I could share any of the pages with you but I was told I couldn't, just yet – only a panel. 

So, here's one -above!

Once the whole package is out, I should be able to show more.

Cheers

Paul McCaffrey

MY BROWN LAWN IS NO GOOD FOR SUMMER TOYS

I want to get out into the garden and mess with a few old toys this weekend but I have a problem.

The lawn is turning brown in large areas and I find it hard to not focus on that rather than my hobby!

There could be different reasons I suppose for brown lawns. It has been very warm this early summer and what I'm seeing could be drought damage.

On the other hand our dog seems to be killing off round patches of grass when he pees. Don't know what to do about that!

The other possible culprit is my mower. Could it be that I'm mowing to deep and cutting the lawn too short?

What do you think readers? Have you got a slowly-browning lawn that's distracting you from your toys?
