hear the tree bark
you’ve heard the saying ‘his bark was worse than his bike’ well, here is a tree which has chosen to amplify its voice to equalise that equation.
trolley crash
Brad sent me this photo ages ago and then i lost it, but now i found it. it’s a great picture of what looks like a high speed trolley pile up in the Bronx !
not what i said i said

2012 olympics
i mentioned last week about the olympic exhibition in Traf Square. i went in yesteday lunchtime whilst walking back to the office. it was quite good actually.
it’s only a teeny weeny exhibition but well worth a spare 2 minutes if you are passing
there’s a giant aerial map of london on the floor which is fascinating. there’s also a nice wall-of-smoke to walk through:
here are hyde park and buckingham palace/westminster/london eye

dog’s dinner
can you believe they have restaurants just for dogs these days. it’s SO unfair. they probably get to take their scraps home in human-bags.
booooing !
here’s two fantatic things which go bbooooooing !
hydraulic boingy thing:
bollard on a pogo-stick boingy thing:
the day job
a couple of people have emailed recently to enquire what i do work-wise. here is a clue. it was my first time giving evidence in front of a Select Committeeb and it’s weird to think my words will turn up in Hansard for all history tomorrow. something to show the grandchildren one day perhaps.
the picture is Portcullis House. and here’s a report in the paper.
a trolley visits marble arch
trollies are tourists too. this one went on a trip to see Marble Arch. in a strange twist of coincidental fate, Marble Arch was featured in this evening’s Evening Standard as they are thinking of plopping on to Speakers’ Corner so it’s less in the way, or more accessible.

slippery floor sign on a bollard
it’s another double category-er. this time it’s a bollard holding a slippery floor sign. i think he was simply carrying over to where he wanted it.
crimal advertising
honest, hard working criminals wanted. no experience necessary. swag
bags will be provided, but must have own gun.
salary: commission based.
very lost with a good map
one of the few things you don’t need in london is a map of scotland.
if you are using a map of scotland to get round london you stand quite a high chance of getting lost. that’s assuming you are not lost already.
glove on a dog sign !
i love it when categories collide. how about this. it’s a glove on a dog sign.
we approached it by walking up a slippery icey field and just as it came in to sight the clouds parted and it was illuminated by the sun. as soon as i’d finished taking the photos it went back to being dark and dismal again !
how can people believe there is no god ?
