hassock of the week
what on earth is this ?
May 2006
fly tipping
fly tipping is a bit like cow tipping. with wings.
keep bikes off the pavement
as a pedestrian, i approve of this sign
disaster
i had a day like this yesterday. i caught the girls lurgy headache illness and then my hard-drive blew up (losing about 560 photos i’d got lined up for funkypancake and loads of other historical stuff – turns out i was backing up everything except that one drive. d’oh.
still, i’ve suspected my computer was on its last legs ever since smoke poured out of it a few weeks back (with no obvious damage)
past possessive
i love this sign. it’s been very nicely produced and laminated. it’s states it thing (with four exclamation marks !!!!) and even offers advice to would be bin fillers as to how they can find their OWN bin service.
why have i called this item ‘past possessive’ ? because ‘bin’ is past tense of ‘being’ and they are being very possessive of their bins.
selfridges
selfridges have some great window displays. i haven’t been by for a while so it was nice to see the current crop.
these chaps were made out of jelly beans (including the one with the beard in the foreground)
and here was a giant pile of shoes
curiouser and curiouser
a few weeks back i had exactly 10 minutes to spare before a meeting so i stood still and just looked at the big mound of sugar cubes (or whatever they are) in the Tate Modern. After a few minutes you start noticing some of the details, like how they big piles ‘spill’ on to the building structure, and how some of the piles have order.
after a while it nearly turns in to a Where’s Wally book of obscure angled blocks. “where is the slightly crooked up-ended one” etc
