toxic gloves

i took this photo of lots of red gloves through some railings and a security chap came up to me and said “what are you doing” ?
“taking pictures of these gloves” i said
“well, be careful” he said. “they are toxic”
as i began to walk away he said “that’s why we thrown them in there”.
so now we know. just don’t stand too close to your screen, ok.

painless removal

esther lost her first tooth yesterday. this morning the tooth fairy left her a letter informing her she’ll be popping by at the weekend to pick it up.

reject advertising

i thought this was a giant photo but i suspect it’s some kind of advertising thing.
just cuz someone threw it away doesn’t mean the idea isn’t good. maybe it just wasn’t appropriate for where they wanted to take their brand.

bollard jumpers

it must be a hard life for those traditional bollards which have been concreted in the ground for many decades. whilst they stand motionless, the new plastic bollards (sometimes called ‘cones’) swan around town in their bright red outfits with reflecty sashes.
this traditional bollard has taken matters in to its own hands and is sporting a rather nice red cardigan. now all it needs it the reflecty sash.

quiet please

i like how this sign seems to scream ‘quiet please’ as loud as possible by being in capital letters (yuck!) on a yellow background with a white border.
let’s make this our message for the day.
please, for the sake of this blog, perleeeease, just this once, will you please BE QUIET
