Margaret Bourke-White who died on this day, August 27th, in 1971.
She was the first foreign photographer permitted to take pictures of the Soviet five-year plan, the first American female war photojournalist, and one of her photographs (of Fort Peck Dam) featured on the cover of the first issue of Life magazine.
This iconic image of her on the Chrysler Building was taken by her assistant Oscar Graubner.

If I'm by myself at my local in the square, I sit on the wall rather than take up a table.
Folk walking past all the time and my pal Elvis is famous so everyone stops to talk to us.
When I go to the bar he gets upset so make sure he can see me

The white stuff is powered filler.
When I pulled the old skirting board off for the tiler, a big panel of plasterboard between the rad in/outlets pulled away with it.
I had the rad off to make good, I sanded ALOT of filler, it got everywhere.
I can't see the circled object now, It might be something fallen off a long haired cat that likes bushes.
Aye aye OK. I need to take the loo radiator out. Do i need to drain the system or just turn the heating off?? Last time i made an attempt to much water was coming up the pipe for my liking to abandoned job. I need to replace the skirting as its been painted to many times and coming away from the wall.

See the little white caps, pop them off and you can turn the valves to close them both off.
Then all you lose is the content of the rad when you disconnect it (into an old cat litter tray).

Ah now. I dont have them but the left i have the adjusting valve and the right is just an right angle bit pipe. Dont think i turned the valve off what i presume would be the in pipe and other being out. Am i right in thinking only water should be what comes out the radiator?

Not just water, but also the blood of your enemies you chopped up and hid in the header tank in the loft.
Probably just a pigeon. We had neighbours from hell once what lasted a couple of years. They were under my house but the two tanks are in my loft. They may have drank some things you may not want to drink once or twice.
