odd

we’ve all heard of polo shirts. well here is a polo towel.
sucked polos and a blue towel in a phone box

i saw this van waiting patiently on the street corner

it’s nice they have ambulances for patients these days. or maybe we have now moved to a two tier system where the doctors travel in seperate vehicles. since this whole Sars thing, doctors haven’t wanted to get too close to ill people.
embrace illness i say.

see the picture. BT tower in the background. they fastened the tower to the ground by screwing it in to a giant hole.
see the foreground. they are doing the same again. a giant drill bit prepares the hole. a giant rawl plug is added. they then bring the building and simply screw it in. Probably with an automatic screw driver type thing.
if you’ve ever seen the very top of BT tower you will see they opted for a Philips style crosshead rather than a straight slotted. you can learn about screwing here

they’ve hidden the BBC. Or maybe they have wrapped it in a terrorist proof wrapper.

how weird is this. i bought a clock (the old one in the picture). i took it for a walk through central london. i didn’t have a bag so i carried it in my hand.
i turned a corner and there was a man with a clock in his hand ! A similar model, only newer. he was filming a feature on coffee for the Discovery Channel. It’s a pity the program wasn’t about bizarre coincidences !

this juggler was not disheartened

could have been a daring SAS raid. It wasn’t. just window cleaners

crow bars aren’t shapped like crows or used for lifting crows as far as i know. if you are going to pick on a bird then i recommend the bird that everyone loves to hate. the flying rat aka the pigeon.

comedy scene of the day:
in henley i saw a young lad accidently propel his lollypop out of its holder and in to his granny’s handbag ! It shattered in to pieces as it landed to add to the comedy factor.
granny and childs faces were priceless. didn’t get a photo. sorry

the street of london are paved with gold. everyone knows that. as a result they need polishing. here is one such device. left in the street.
i guess the idea is that people walking to work can buff a little on the way then leave it for the next person walking that way to do a bit more. eventually the most travelling walking routes get the most buffing.
or is it a congestion charge avoidance device ? Floor buffers don’t seem to be exempt according to the BBC however.
or it could be one of those new Segway things

it’s wide but it’s flat. it’s a giant strawberry

whilst walking down Oxford Street today I saw tipex splattered all over the pavement and the little tipex pain brush thing casually chucked aside. the painting was Pollock in style. makes you think.

there’s an awful lot of coffee in brazil.
and spread all over London’s busy Oxford Street.

brought to you by the random tea makers of yesterday perhaps ?

someone had been attempting tea making near my office
but they failed big time.
the milk got run over:

and tea bags went everywhere

My Lords, I hope noble Lords will appreciate how I move seamlessly from corned beef to spam.
My Lords, will the Minister explain how it is that an inedible tinned food that lasted for ever and was supplied to those on active service can become an unsolicited e-mail, bearing in mind that some of us wish to be protected from having an e-mail?
