i think it was to do with this show. i was invited to stand in the background and pretent to be happy, but seeing as i was meant to be at work i thought that would be a bad idea !

i’m sure if all the people just turned round the view would have cheered them up. and it would have been much less anoying than watching jono coleman jiggling to Amarilo.

models for specific haircuts wanted

here’s a funny old sign. it’s advertising for models. it’s not clear whether the sort of model is like the one in the picture, but let’s leave that.
what intrigued me was that they are looking for general models for specific haircuts. what’s a specific haircut ?

shoot your poo

if you want to make something appealing to kids you need to turn it in to a computer game … or … associate it with poo. this classic ball shooting game (drop the balls down a pipe with air zooming through it to fire them) has been renamed as ‘shoot your poo’.
the balls are the poos which can get cleansed by the water reeds (the things with teeth and eyes).
see, it makes perfect sense now i’ve explained it.

definately worth a visit. beware of camera lens envy if you do go though – it’s absolutely packed with photographers with long lenses trying to get their perfect bird shots.
