bollards
the amazing lightweight undestroyable bollard
i went to a seminar yesterday which was held in an exhibition hall. the exhibition was for police forces and the stalls were amazing. i’m not a policeman so i found it all quite amazing (and rather surreal).
my favourite thing were these fantastic bollards which sort of pop up out of their base and are fairly industructable (eg you can run over them with a car and they just pop back up).
here is one of the sales chaps happily modelling one for us.
if you are interested you can get them from here
bollard guarding some signs
a bollard is guarding something. but what ?
ah. it’s some no entrance signs
young people
is there a non-patronising way of saying ‘young people’ ? it sounds frightfully grown up.
will the lone bollard meet the entry requirement ? he’s surely not a people.
mister conehead
here are two fantastic pictures from regular commenter Rascle.
he writes (in the third person):
Rascle’s daughter works at a day-nursery. She doesn’t even look at FP but guess who frequents the nursery.
Mr Conehead does everything with the children!
special fences to protect the levitating bollards
this bollard is levitating, and so is the one in the background. they are protected by metal railings to prevent them floating off. incredible.
giant bollard headstand
by the way, have you seen this advert with mad bollards ? You should. it’s work safe. (thanks to Dan for the link)
fat bollard
we’re probably not allowed to say ‘fat’ in these modern days, so here is a girth-icly challenged bollard.
it’s so big it’s got a little bucket in the top which is holding a diet ribena carton
