Well,I've heard Issak has put in a transfer request, with Liverpool being the main interested party. I have to admit, I'd be very disappointed if he did go,but it's the norm.A lot of players like to earn more money, and he has been accused of being greedy. Personally, his request took me by surprise, as I know Issak still has 3 years of his contract remaining. It will be interesting to see what happens.  The transfer window to me for Newcastle, has been nothing but a farce.For the past 3-4 years, I can't recall the club signing a deal to obtain new players. Only Tonali springs to mind, and I've heard  a young South Korean player: Seung-soo Park has also just signed.Park is 18 years old,so it's good to see some exciting youth talent.  The Premier League is definitely corrupt as hell, and who knows how many times we're going to see the usual and appalling decisions.  How the FA get away with this is beyond me.  +++ Well,Issak has gone to Liverpool, and I since...

Overall, all the Star Trek tv shows and films have been a huge disappointment for me personally, as there's hardly been any scenes for any of the pretty actresses performing bound and gagged scenes. In fact, and aside from only one short scene in the Voyager show,the entire franchise was practically devoid of it. I found these pictures on the Deviant Art website, and apart from missing a tight gag on the girls, I think they're very good. Not sure who the girl is supposed to be,as I don't recognise her,or what show she's supposed to come from.The artist did a nice job on her though, but it was such a shame he didn't gag her. Just a shame the writers couldn't be bothered with this too.There were some very enjoyable episodes, as I always liked the Klingon stories in them,and there was some great action in these too.Sadly,no pretty actresses bound and gagged in any of the Star Trek TNG show.  It would have been great to see the major female characters getting seized...

It's always intrigued me about the real slave uprising against the Romans. I enjoyed watching these documentaries on it,but I'm so glad I didn't exist in that time period. Although Spartacus and his army held off the Romans for two years,and they won 9 straight military victories,they were ultimately doomed. 

This was a great film,directed by the late Stanley Kubrick, although he later disowned the film.However,there were some great moments in it.I liked these ones; The final battle scene was tremendous, with 8000 Spanish Army soldiers playing the Roman soldiers. Their battle manoeuvres were awesome.  In the scene where Crassus(played brilliantly by the late Laurence Olivier) identifies Spartacus-obviously the late Kirk Douglas-the music is really powerful and dramatic, as are the actors.  The final scene in the film is really sad,as we know the bad guys won.Of course, in reality, Spartacus was defeated, but he wasn't crucified. He died in battle, but the Romans never found his body. It's highly unlikely we'll ever find out what really happened. After all,the Roman writers didn't record this event,not till after a century later.

I liked this picture from a nice chap I found on the Deviant Art website, and he's very kindly granted me permission to post my favourite pictures here. All images belong to tiedgaggedlove(c) 2025.

One of my favourite rock songs: Another favourite live version: And another: The original video on the third was much better, as it lasted nearly 9 minutes. Sadly, I can't seem to find it. 

 I only watched bits and pieces of this show, and whilst there are some scenes where a pretty actress is in a distressing situation, there doesn't appear to be much on the girls being bound and gagged. In fact, I can only remember one in the show's entirety.  One of my favourite moments in Sharpe, was where the cowardly Sir Henry Simmerson threatens the very pretty Emily Mortimer, after she humiliates him,and he comes looking for revenge on her. A great pity Emily wasn't bound and gagged in this episode, as I would have liked to have seen Simmerson seize her,before he was clearly going to ravish her.Fortunately,she's saved by one of the good guys from him. Even so, it felt like another wasted opportunity yet again here. As always though, Emily will be a major damsel in my future art projects. 

Another favourite battle,in which the lust for power and wealth or more precisely:Greed.,utterly destroyed and thoroughly demoralised a Roman army. And deservedly so. Loved all these videos on this devastating Roman defeat. I used to be a great admirer of the Roman Empire for years. However, when I found out certain things about what they did,I was shocked and appalled. It's only partly true they were civilised, but they were also horrible, cruel and brutal scumbags. Crassus was one of them,and he got what he deserved here.

This film does have some excellent fight scenes,but yet again, there's no damsel scene in it for the lead actress:Michelle Goh. I liked her character, and thought Michelle was very pretty and she is one of the good guys.Unfortunately,the writers didn't include any scenes for Michelle to perform being bound and gagged in it.Instead,they chose to let the male actor playing her partner to get trussed up.My blood raged seeing that.A pretty actress to be seized by the baddies, and the scriptwriters couldn't be bothered to write out a scene for her? Yet another wasted opportunity.

An utter disaster for the Scots on this day: I've actually been there.There's a small church that was built after the battle. 

 An updated page from Amorim on an old favourite from the now disappeared Matt Johnson, who did the original for me many years ago, as shown below. I never did find out what happened to him,but he still did me a lot of fantastic work. I still treasure everything he did for me to this day.

  I enjoyed all three Crocodile Dundee films,apart from the brief scenes showing the actors playing the bad guys trussed up in the second film.I was really disappointed Linda Kozlowski didn't perform a full treatment scene of her own,especially when she gets kidnapped by the baddies, but isn't bound and gagged. That infuriated me. She was really pretty in her prime, but it looked as if she was one of so many actresses that escaped.Damn... I'll use her in my future art projects.  Still, there was a lot to enjoy in them all.

A clip from Gettysburg. I like reading about the American Civil War, and any documentaries on it too.There were certainly a lot of interesting people who fought in it.A horrendous conflict between the Northern states against the Deep South over the evil of slavery.Although some Americans responded that it was really over the South's state rights. However, that's something I don't believe.  Another thing was that General Robert E Lee opposed slavery, but felt his duty was to his own state.Sometimes,I think he had double standards. To me,in this modern world-which unfortunately still has many people suffering under slavery by some many evil scumbags-shouldn't Lee have done the right thing? He and General Grant could have been a highly formidable team together.  As it was,Lee chose his side,and by the time he realised it was too late and the war was lost, over 600,000 lives had been lost.Even after Lee's surrender to Grant,there was still immense suffering inflicted on...

 Another version from MuMuffet. I love his art,and it's always great to have an artist who doesn't mind doing damsel in distress scenes for me.

I really enjoyed the first film, when Henry Cavill played Superman for the first time back in 2013. I watched watched it at the pics, and really enjoyed it. Sadly, I utterly despised the sequel:Batman v Superman. Despite having loads of action, I still think these two should be kept separate in their own universes. There might possibly be a third Man of Steel film,and I really hope they keep Superman how he should be. Amy Adams,who played Lois Lane was in certain dangerous situations and in certain distress too.However,much to my bitter disappointment, Amy never performed a full treatment scene here,or in the second film.A real shame. I honestly don't know why the writers won't include any bondage scenes for the girls. That's what Superman is all about.  I also liked Russell Crowe's performance as Jor-El. He played that part really well.  Well,that's another damsel yet again included for a future art project. 

The new tv show remake of Shogun is very well done, but yet again, the writers let me down. There's certainly a lot of great moments in it,and it has an excellent cast. Of course, my favourite character is Lady Mariko, played by Anna Sawai.  I think Anna's very beautiful, and she's half-Japanese.Sadly for me,there were no damsel in distress scenes for her.I was totally baffled and gutted at this.I have to admit, I haven't watched all the show,but annoyingly, there appeared to be only scenes for some of the male characters. Indeed: I think they made Anna's character far too headstrong. That wasn't to my liking at all. A huge,much deserved two fingered salute at the writers for this. Yet again, Anna will always feature in my future art projects. 

I loved Gowron in this sci-fi show,and I always loved the Klingons in the episodes.   Gowron was played by Robert O' Reilly,who thought of the great idea of bulging his eyes for his character. Sadly, the show was practically devoid of any full treatment scenes for any of the pretty actresses. Only Gates McFadden did one minor scene with her hands tied in front of her.A massive disappointment,especially considering the show lasted 7 seasons, and despite certain damsel in distress situations, none of the pretty actresses performing in it were bound and gagged.  A really big thumbs down from me on that area.:( Even so,the Klingon scenes were good to watch. Still,Gowron was always worth watching as a forthright Klingon,just like all the other actors and actresses did.

Never really watched this show,but I have seen a couple of pretty actresses performing bound and gagged scenes in it.I really wish there had been much more.  The scene with Patricia Issac,when she's bound and gagged by a female thief,and in her underwear too was brilliant. Such a great shame Patricia didn't perform any more scenes like this. However, she's another damsel I'll be using in my future art projects. 

From a new artist I also found on the Deviant Art website. I'm really hoping he can do me many more,and hopefully to colour too. Colour version:

From the brilliant Alazar.Again,I've never heard from him for a long time, and I don't know if he's still accepting commissions.  I'll get Amorim to do his style on this one,with the usual corrections I want.

From the now long gone artist:Matt Johnson, who didn't mind doing strong, dark non-consent sex themes.This page is a huge favourite. I still miss Matt,and I never did find out what happened to him. I've asked Amorim for an update to it,and I hope he'll agree. 

 One of the deadliest ambushes in ancient military history.  Another masterpiece by Hannibal.

 The famous victory of Carthiginian General Hannibal Barca, where in the Second Punic War,he lured the hated Romans into a deadly trap,killing thousands upon thousands. It's still studied and still attempted to this day. It was a brilliant, superbly thought out victory, but the Romans refused to back down,although the defeat sent shockwaves through Rome.In the end,they changed their strategy, not letting themselves to give battle to Hannibal, and he eventually left,much to their immense relief. Although of course, he was still hunted,and after losing to Scipio Africanus at the Battle of Zama in 202 BC,he escaped, and still continued to be a major thorn in the Romans. I actually used to be a big fan of him,but was shocked to find out he'd deliberately ordered the massacre of an entire city.A horrible war crime.  In the end,Hannibal was tracked down, but he avoided being captured by the Romans,as he committed suicide. 

In this famous battle, Robert the Bruce successfully defeated an English army,led by King Edward the Second. It was another complete disaster for the English, where everything went wrong for Edward. The battle was actually an opportunity for Edward,to improve his standing with his barons.Unfortunately for him,the Scots had fully worked out their tactics, and their plan worked brilliantly, sending the English into full panicked retreat. The Scots massacred many of their hated enemy, although the Bruce was merciful to several English barons captured,treating them to dinner afterwards. Yet,I don’t think the ordinary rank and file would have fared much better. In actual fact, most of Edward's army successfully withdrew,but the day belonged to the Scots, and it largely won them their freedom from the much despised English.  The video's really good. 

 The famous Scottish victory,forever etched in every Scot with fierce pride and passion. The English were a complete disaster this day.The doomed Earl of Surrey certainly got his comeuppance here.

 Another military history video I'm quite keen on. After the Scots defeated the English at Stirling Bridge in 1297,King Edward the First led a new army to meet them at Falkirk the following year. I really enjoyed watching this. 

These short videos are excellent to me,telling the story of the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln back in April 15,1865,where crazed actor John Wilkes Booth shot him in the back of the head at Ford's Theatre in Washington D,C. There's an excellent,detailed background account of each of the principal characters involved. I found it really interesting, and really enjoyed all the videos posted.

I'm still expecting the new story from Ed3765, but there's still no news from him.However,he'll come through.  I was also very pleased to get back in touch with an old commissioner. She wrote me a strong non-consent bondage story many years ago, and it's still there.I was very pleased to see it although she didn't really like writing that kind of stuff,so I decided to erase it. This time,I've asked her to write a mixture of jungle damsels,with a touch of sci-fi included. I'm really looking forward to see what she'll come up with. ++ Sadly, still no news from Jeb,and I'm still currently writing out my favourite stories from him here.I'm also disappointed Achast still hasn't responded back to me for a new story request.I've lost count of how many polite notes I've sent him. I'll still keep my fingers crossed for that.

I liked this bondage artist I found on the Deviant Art website many years ago. Nick was fantastic, and he did me several commissions,all of which I really enjoyed.  Sadly, Nick has just announced he's not going to do anymore art,and he'll be varnishing from Deviant Art for good. This is a terrible blow.Totally gutted he's calling it a day,but I will always think fondly of him.

The classic Dr Who certainly had its fair share of disappointments, when certain writers failed to include any bound and gagged scenes,for some of the pretty actresses performing as the Doctor's companion.  One of them was Zoe Wanamaker, played by Wendy Padbury.Zoe's character was an astrophysicist from the future, and from what I've seen, she certainly screamed a lot,but I haven't found any full treatment scenes for her. A massive disappointment.
