I like the female knight.
Is that a new arm on number 9?
The file hidden in the bread is a nice touch.
Would be nice to see that pointy hat in some earth colours - ocre, brown, cream, grey etc. Is the witches broom actually two tone? It has yellow on it in the promo picture.

Found out today that Imagur and some other photo hosting sites are blocking all their hosted content from UK based IP addresses because the cost of verifying that there is nothing that would fall foul of the Online Safety Act would be more than they make in the UK.

Girls 9 seems to be a specific reference to the Zulu people in Africa.  There are some good example photos in the thread about series 29 at Amclicks.

Same here in Germany. Loading extremely slow and frequently timing out.

I have the same problem, Graham, plus very slow loading and often not loading and a message about bandwidth, I'll write it down and post it.

I have not received that specific message, but I agree that the site has been loading and responding extremely slowly lately. It often times out as well with a message that indicates that the server may be under maintenance or overloaded. The number of online users (obviously not actual, individual visitors) has also seemed to be consistently high lately, which could likely be part of the problem if it is related to capacity issues.

I am getting this message on my tablet (Android 15) for all images on PF. I am not using a VPN. Chrome is the browser*. Google Maps shows my correct location in the UK. I don't get this message when using my Windows laptop. Any suggestions?

Also, PF is loading pages very slowly at the moment.

*Same thing happens with Firefox.

Well, that is interesting! The hands actually look quite small on the slightly larger figure.

I wonder who was the inspiration for that?
