p h o t o    GALLERY

   
 
HOW IT WORKS
 None of the galleries are in any logical order whatsoever. The photos are chosen completely at random - what might have been considered a bit of a hoot at the time.
 The idea is to put the curser over the thumbnail picture and then click the mouse. A larger picture should then open up for you (hopefully) on a new screen. After you've had a good squiz at this picture, you hit the 'back' button to take you back to this page of thumbs.
 You can of course select to go to another gallery completely where you may, but probably not, find more interesting photos.
