saucy mannequin
if you’d told me about mannequins in new zealand before we emigrated i wouldn’t have believed you. but they are absolutely fantastic and get better by the day
this chap was selling snake oil magnetic therapy bandsand his armless cap wearing mannequin was ably demonstrating how they were to be worn.
sweet as
burger king in disguise
something strange happened to Burger King in Australia and they are called Hungry Jacks. there’s probably a reason for that. perhaps related to the Australian’s growing republican sentiment ?
high pedestrian activity
high pedestrian activity is a great phrase. makes me think of stoners.
but once i got past the drug image, i looked at the pictures themselves, and none of those strike me as particularly active.
so perhaps it’s a double bluff.
night roadwork ahead
good to see a sign in night time colours.
shifting a pile
i’m not convinced this chap’s skinny shovel is going to make much headway against that pile of dirt.
or perhaps he fired his arrow in to a sleeping blob and has gone to retrieve it.
go back !
good advice given the situation
some good signage
apologies for the numerous signage pictures this week. australia was full of boss signage
picture gives way to picture
is this meant to help people who can’t read ? if so, best to stick to all pictures or all words. otherwise it looks a bit like a top trumps card.
fire brigade booster connection
poor old fire men. life is sometimes very depressing and we all need a little boost sometimes. when they open this up there are all sorts of encouraging words and phrases to help them on their way. we all need that sometime.
by the way, you’re looking great today and you’re having a really positive impact on those around you. keep up the good work dear funkypancake reader
old ice cream advert in sydney
living in a land with little recent human history i enjoyed seeing some old stuff in australia. even if it was an ice cream advert from probably 50 years ago. that’s ancient in new zealand terms.
