hippo gloves
these gloves might have been shoes. difficult to tell.
they obviously belonged to a teeny weeny baby. when you are that age your hands and shoes are interchangable anyway.
“i’m upside down”
if this box could talk it would tell you things. it can’t talk but it’s still telling us things.
“sometimes it even uses inverted commas”
car park
the shapes, the colour of the building and the colour of the sky. the future is so retro. modern is so passe.
this car park was built by mad bees. i think.
hiding glove
they can hide, but i’ll always find them.
“thank you for your custom”
“there’s more superfluous punctuation than anyone could possibly need here”
odd job pete
it’s been a while since we’ve seen odd job pete doing an odd job around the office. today he’s decided to remove the ice monster from the freezer section of the fridge.
he’s got an elaborate plan which i’m not convinced about.
here is pete a bit later with the ice:
and here with the ice-less freezer compartment (don’t look in to his eyes or you will turn to ice):
i can confirm that it takes the same amount of time for Peter to defrost the fridge as it did for me to have a conference call on the exciting topic of broadband migrations.
holes
my office has come up with a nice idea to try to keep us awake during the day. they’ve placed some random holes in the floor.
i’m going to go to the local charity shop in a minute and buy a cheap rug to put over the top. i’ll then put some nuts in the middle of the rug.
if any wild animals come in to the office, they’ll be attacted to the nuts and will fall in to my trap. we can then cook them for our tea thus saving on sandwich costs AND keeping us safe from wild animals.
and all for the cost of a cheap charity shop rug.
street cabinet
there’s all sorts of regulation about putting equipment in to boxes in the street. telephone companies are the main people that do this. here we see a new approach.
rather than using the traditional black or green boxes they’ve gone for a more contemporary wooden cupboard look. i think it works.
message on Oxford Street
i’ve blurred some of the text, but you get the idea.
do not steal the signs
this pub has signs screwed in to the tables warning that thieves are in operation in the area. this table didn’t have one as someone had stolen it. luckily they left the screws.
