black bollard
looks like he’s been drinking
bollards being eaten by the ground
the poor bollard on the right is being dragged underground whilst the other one leans over to help.
or is it two bollards making an escape via a tunnel from the local bollard prison before scarpering off ?
homeless henry
poor old henry. he’s fallen love with a wheely bag. he comes down on to the street and watches her go by every morning.
cleaner
i explained to this chap why i was taking a photo of his jacket and cleaning trolley reflected in a puddle but i think he thought i was a general nutter. shame really.
more saucy mannequins
these are glaswegian mannequins. i did see a few people walking round with t-shirts on in the freezing drizzle, so i guess wearing nothing but a scarf is a natural progression
BMI angry man
this chap doesn’t seem too pleased that the oxygen masks have fallen out of the sky.
tate modern slides
here’s some more photos of the slides at tate modern. this time with my newer camera (last time’s ones here)
last trolley – not for use
why not ?
john’s toilet pictures
john sent me two pictures of some fantastic toilets. it’s got instructions which say ‘do not stand on the toilet seat’ which seems quite sensible.
and look at the fantastic receptacles. there’s something for everyone here. urinals, a bin and a fireplace
i don’t usually encourage toilet photography as it has the potential to go very wrong. but these are great !
bmi safety instructions
this lady doesn’t look like she’s too bothered about the fact she’s just set her lapel on fire.
anyone who’s had kids know that this is how you find out if your child needs a nappy-refresh. it’s a nice idea to get people to check their baby’s nappy before setting off as this is one of the key causes of baby plane travel missery. probably
skip sale
and here’s another skip
cranes in the wind
on windy thursday i spotted this line up of cranes above a building site. i had to be quite to get them all lined up, but then i notices they were all swaying in the wind !
i assume they must let them blow free like weather vanes in the wind else they’d blow over. it was quite beautiful as they all moved together. unfortunately i was on a windy bridge myself so i couldn’t really stand still and admire it.
c u (jimmy)
now, i’m hoping this isn’t a racial stereotype, but i can reveal people in glasgow have quite a strong accent. i had a few problems understanding a taxi driver (but i have that problem in london too).
i remember there was a dreadful comedian when i was growing up who did an impression of a scottish person which involved saying ‘see you jimmy’ lots. it seems scottish transport have maintained this tradition.
private and public
airports are funny old things for many reasons. one thing is that people have all their important and most personal items (toothbrush, underpants etc) in their cases which they are carrying around with them.
this means, that if someone needs to get something out of their case (as seen here badly) or reduce their luggage weight they have to open them up and give everyone a view of their life.
glaswegian glove
sometimes even the anti-shake can’t help.
