Carry on series - everlasting entertainment...


I bought this entire pack of 16 DVD's from Amazon.in for an attractive prize. I am a fan of the Carry on series. I had watched some of the movies of this series like the Carry on doctor, Carry on again doctor, Carry on camping etc. but was not able to get many others. So when I saw this offer I did not hesitate to buy. Thanks, Amazon.in

I watched Carry on doctor about 20 years ago. Then some others from the series also got released in India because of the positive response. Some were telecast on TV. I never get bored watching these, every time I watch it makes me laugh out loud. I haven't finished watching all these 16 DVD's, only three as of now. Carry on camping, Carry on abroad and Carry on Dick. Carry on cruising is not part of this DVD pack; I bought it separately. Really funny movie!

This pack contains Carry on doctor, Carry on again doctor, Carry on abroad, Carry on behind, Don't lose your head, Carry on up the jungle, Carry on at your convenience, Carry on Matron, Carry on Henry, Carry on up the Khyber, Carry on Girls, Carry on camping, Carry on loving, Follow that camel and Carry on England and Carry on Dick.

The Carry on series as you know contains:
  • 31 motion pictures
  • 4 Christmas specials
  • 1 TV series - 13 episodes
  • 3 Stage plays
Hope I will be able to compile all of these asap😊

The Carry on team: Sidney JamesKenneth WilliamsCharles HawtreyJoan SimsKenneth ConnorPeter ButterworthHattie JacquesTerry ScottBernard BresslawBarbara WindsorJack Douglas, and Jim Dale. Directed by Gerald Thomas and produced by Peter Rogers they made history making it one of the most successful series in the world.

I would like to mention two funny scenes😊
Nurse is checking Sid james's BP, the apparatus explodes when Barbs makes her appearance in the hospital ward, lol! - Carry on doctor.

Next is from Carry on camping - Kenneth Williams is conducting exercise session for the girls when suddenly Barbara Windsor's bikini top gets overstretched, breaks and lands on his face!

Love these movies!

Global village, Dubai, post - one


Dubai global village!
Every year the number of countries having pavilions here is increasing. No doubt, this gathering is getting better and better as years go by.

This time of the year is a festive season in Dubai. Coupled with Dubai shopping festival (DSF) there is glitter and bling everywhere in Dubai. Mesmerizing Dubai!
           


This is a unique opportunity to witness the culture, products, and people from different parts of the world without going there.
          


It actually is a vast venue with eateries, entertainment, fireworks and the like! There is a cultural stage here where artists from different countries showcase their unique cultural talents.
      
Photography, when twilight is in full swing is a wonderful thing!




 
There is an artificial canal where you can ride on traditional boats. There are stage shows, stunt shows, street shows, cultural shows, and concerts.


       
The exhibits are simply awesome! Not a moment of boredom. The price is also reasonable,

     


You will be able to buy any type of middle eastern perfumes here. Feeling lucky...well...there are lucky draws too and the winner gets sackloads of money, it is Dubai, you know!

These pictures were taken the last time I visited there in 2012.

                                                                  Love hummus 😊

How to animate a picture: add stars, floaties, glitter etc.

I created an animated graphical picture for the post on new year day. For this, I selected a picture of a chandelier that I photographed at the Dubai Mall. I thought of spicing it up by adding glitter, stars, and bling to it. I use http://www.online-image-editor.com when I want to add such things to a picture. It is an awesome website where you upload a picture and do whatever you desire. They have an impressive collection of glitters, stars, floaties etc. You can save time by uploading a small sized picture. The website will modify the size sometimes when you add some animations. Moreover, we can do the basic works also like re-sizing, add frames etc. Be careful with your picture's format, find out which one will work with your site. There is a provision for converting to many formats.

The picture of a palm tree at Deira, Dubai on this post was modified by adding rain floaties. A star was also added.

But when I want to do something elaborate and delicately I use Photoshop. Otherwise for simple works I prefer to make use of pic monkey and other similar online image editors like this.

Hope this post will help you to create beautiful and cool pictures!
