the office do
office christmas parties are always interesting occasions. i’ve been at my present employ (how posh am i!) for 4 years now so i knew lots of people there and had a jolly good time.
here is our leader (the big cheese) giving his annual christmas address to the company:
here is telco-walter having a cigar:
and here is one of my current desk-neighbours called Simon. they are moving to a different floor next week, so perhaps i’ll get another photo of him and his chums in a few days time:
where to park ?
it was my work’s christmas party last night and we decided to drive across london to the venue.
i still find it amazing you can just drive in to the centre of london and look out of your car window at all the sights. it’s a bit like a safari trip.
anyway, it took us longer to get across london than it did to reach london to begin with, and when we got nearly there we found a fantastic free street parking place (we’d been expecting a £20 car park).
but how would we remember which street we’d parked the car in ? well, by looking for this handy monument we parked under.
no wheels on my trolley
neither of my daughters would pose with this trolley making it feel even sadder than it already was
panic in the post office
i took the girls to the post office to post some letters. we were given a pile of stamps and had to sit on the floor and lick’n’stick them on the letters.
it was all very complicated and panicy but we managed.
smart dog
a smart dog dressed in mulberry. every dog should have a coat and matching cap.
post trollies
two trollies. one was hiding. but i spotted him.
fire telephone
ever had to make someone redundant ? lacked the necessary technical equipment ?
you need a fire phone
available at a street corner near you soon.
word 19 – welcome: miserable sign
there was a model train museum on the Isle of Wight which claimed to be the biggest in the UK or something.
i quite fancied going until i saw this sign. then i went right off it.
sometimes a sign tells you more about the person behind the sign than the instructions themselves.
i feared for my children and mobile if we went in. so we didn’t.

jane and the girls
it’s seems ages ago since we had our isle of wight holiday. probably because it was.
pirates in london
i tend to walk a bit faster than other people, especially on the way to or from the station.
in the morning there’s usually not many people about but in the evening i sometime verge on the edge of pavement rage when i get stuck behind a group of wide-walkers with big bags (especially when i’ve timed my 38 minutes walk to get a specific train).
this evening i got stuck behind a pirate. but instead of getting angry i decided to ask if i could take a photo. so here it is.
there’s a moral here (somewhere). And it’s good to know pirates aren’t as scary as they used to be.
i think they’ve been on a government pirate integration program.
and yes, i did miss my train.
word 18 – stranger: a new find
another one for davescollections. or is it ?
it was sent to me by the notorious Boy 34. He claims this time it’d real, but can we be sure ?
I’m inclined to agree this time as i think the strange holes in this photo are beyond a prankster’s experience. but i could be wrong.
whether it’s real or fake, it’s still fantastic !
