When Robert Aramayo in this -“BITCH OF!” - a movie was cast
As a man with Tourette’s he was – “WANKER!” - aghast.
He had to show tics and – “SPUNK FOR MILK!” - to swear a lot.
But - “I SELL DRUGS!” – he gave it a shot.
Then he received the BAFTA, this year – “what a c**!” - unsurpassed.

It’s a truly inspiring and also funny movie about the real John Davidson, a man with and an advocate for people with Tourette’s syndrome. Last night a very surprised Robert Aramayo received the BAFTA for leading actor ahead of Leonardo di Caprio and Ethan Hawke. The irony is that the real John Davidson was in the audience and shouted a few obscenities during the evening and also the n* word when two black actors were on stage. But while the audience had grinned and accepted his “f** the queen” in the movie (and presumably real life) as an expression of his neurological disorder they drew the line at the racial slur. Mr Davidson is mortified but many people are apparently not accepting his apology. What hypocritical standards!

In Frankfurt, old vs new, older residential houses vs the diamond of the EZB (Europäische Zentralbank / European Central Bank). The rest are pretty self-explanatory. And two imperfect pictures but I like both for different reasons, nevertheless. Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: The Power of Juxtaposition
