10 of clubs and 8 of spades
these two cards were face down so i flipped them over.
robot heads
this pile of hoover heads was out in the street all day long.
i know they probably aren’t ‘hoovers’, but vacuum cleaner heads didn’t sound so good.
i’m still enjoying the new Dr Who series on the modern television. are you ?
and what kind of a name is ‘mustang’ for a vacuum cleaner anyway ?
fresh pigeon
regular appearer in the Robot section is mr robot.
mr robot wrote to me to inform me he has a new initiative. it’s fresh pigeon. check it out
(i think the links are work safe, but can’t be sure !)
trains terminate here
what’s this boring photo about mr funkypancake i hear you asking. well, let me answer.
it’s a train board in paddington station. these things normally tell you where the train is going, but this one just had three dots.
as if to say “and …”
or perhaps they are full stops. ie the train has come to a full stop at the station. which it had.
the london to brighton bike ride
my lovely wife jane and her friend lynn are doing the London to Brighton Bike Ride on the 19th June.
they are raising money for the British Heart Foundation and the local pre-school (which kezia goes to, and esther used to go to).
if you fancy sponsoring her then you can donate to the British Heart Foundation via her online page
or, if we know you in the real world, you might like to sponsor for the preschool in person.
the picture above is for indicative use only. young child included as an illustration and will not be participating in the event itself.
intriguing signs
no dwarves. always run away from old flames. don’t go in the box. go in the box. phone for sausages. all very strange
stimulating drink on a railing
it’s obvious in hindsight, but i should have amalgamated my ‘coffee on railings’ and ‘cola on railings’ categories in to ‘caffeine drinks on railings’.
if i’d done that i wouldn’t have had to worry about whether this stimulating drink was to go in the coffee or cola category. i went for cola as it’s a cold drink in a can. unlike coffee. which isn’t.
no cameras, no dogs
here’s a sign from the belgian design museum. you’d expect it to be good, but this is most excellent.
they had two giant posters of airport signage on display in a special exhibition but there was no photography inside which was a shame. you’ll just have to visit yourself.
not visit yourself. visit the museum. visiting yourself would be slightly odd. unless you were a timetraveller. but even that would be odd, unless you were going forward in time in which case you’d already know you were a timetraveller and it would be less odd.
but what is this ? a cat with its eyes closed drinking through a straw ?
belgian outside toilet
it’s another one of those famous belgian outside toilets
beer barrel lemmings
oh no – these beer barrels are going to throw themselves off this ledge. there’s a bad joke in here somewhere. i’m sure you’ll find it for me.
