post trollies
two trollies. one was hiding. but i spotted him.
fire telephone
ever had to make someone redundant ? lacked the necessary technical equipment ?
you need a fire phone
available at a street corner near you soon.
word 19 – welcome: miserable sign
there was a model train museum on the Isle of Wight which claimed to be the biggest in the UK or something.
i quite fancied going until i saw this sign. then i went right off it.
sometimes a sign tells you more about the person behind the sign than the instructions themselves.
i feared for my children and mobile if we went in. so we didn’t.

jane and the girls
it’s seems ages ago since we had our isle of wight holiday. probably because it was.
pirates in london
i tend to walk a bit faster than other people, especially on the way to or from the station.
in the morning there’s usually not many people about but in the evening i sometime verge on the edge of pavement rage when i get stuck behind a group of wide-walkers with big bags (especially when i’ve timed my 38 minutes walk to get a specific train).
this evening i got stuck behind a pirate. but instead of getting angry i decided to ask if i could take a photo. so here it is.
there’s a moral here (somewhere). And it’s good to know pirates aren’t as scary as they used to be.
i think they’ve been on a government pirate integration program.
and yes, i did miss my train.
word 18 – stranger: a new find
another one for davescollections. or is it ?
it was sent to me by the notorious Boy 34. He claims this time it’d real, but can we be sure ?
I’m inclined to agree this time as i think the strange holes in this photo are beyond a prankster’s experience. but i could be wrong.
whether it’s real or fake, it’s still fantastic !

mr robot
here is another mr robot picture.
mr robot emailed me last week to say that his new www.mr-robot.co.uk website is live .
so you can go there and see some more robots if you like (as usual, i’m not responsible for content on external sites)
light of the world
i’ve never walked past westminster cathedral cathedral before despite having been to this area of town dozens of times in the last few years. i guess i’ve just never walked past that bit of the road.
i love how you can work in london for over 7 years and still completely miss a famous landmark !
keeping the queen in
these spikes and barbed wire keep people out of the queen’s back garden in the middle of london.
but what if they are actually to stop the queen escaping ? perhaps she’s sick of being the monarch and hankers after a quiet life in a suburban terrace house somewhere ?
these protection measures are there to keep her, and therefore the empire, from disappearing.
bus lane through a pub
more nail advertising. this time with a sign suggesting the bus lane goes through the front window. that’ll be good for custom.
