i found this great box in our garage and decorated it with a nice smiley face to greet paul and liz at our front door. i used to share a house with paul when we were at university and such japes were common place.
unfortunately i ran up stairs with it on my head to surprise esther who was trying to go to sleep and stubbed my toe and made it bleed.
see how i suffer for my art.
paul and liz came for tea last night and we had a lovely time, but i forgot to take their photo before they left. so i ran down the street and paparatzi’d them through their car door (which is why they are looking a bit worried)
an instruction on a pile of rubbish
things have got bad on london’s tube network, with parts of it closed for maintenance. so they’ve laid on alternative transport, including these first class private booths which can be delivered directly to people’s houses. brilliant.
look how some has used an old cup as a handy cigarette dispenser. it’s a very convenient holder for a packet of ciggies.
please note, funkypancake does not endorse cigarrets – for health and spelling reasons.
usually the basket and the trolley are not good friends, yet here we see them working together.
here’s a very high dog sign. what would a dog being doing so high up ?
i’ve had no chocolate bars for about 6 weeks now i think. that’s a bit amazing (for me anyway).
however, i have rediscovered the joy of plain biscuits, as seen here in a busy meeting
i remember taking a picture of one of these signs back in november 2003. it seems the experiment continues.
although perhaps they should consider a ‘sign casualty reduction signal timings experiment’ as this sign is looking a bit worse for wear.
and wouldn’t ‘Pedestrian Casualty Reduction Signal Timings Experiment’ make a great title for a prog rock album ?
more south bank ‘this morning’ outside stuff. one of these days i’ll go by when they are actually recording something.
we have ralph to thank for these pictures from austria.
it’s the wonderfully titled ‘multipoo’
there’s a new giant construction in the turbine gallery at the tate modern. i visited for approximately 4 minutes on the way to a meeting near by and got these photos:
it’s nice to see such a giant thing, which appears to be quite flimsy. i really wanted to swing my work bag in to one of the mountains to see it it would all fall down (but i decided that was a bad plan – especially as by that time i only had 2 minutes left of speed-art viewing.
i doubt everything is ever going to live up to the weather project in this space, but this will do for now !
