Love Milk

Well, I did not know that could happen

Ack-Ack Macaque

Good old 2000AD, still mental and hilarious after all this time.

Forking big load

into my poor Audi

Parking in Westminster

This must be some kind of record.

My 3D printer is working!

If by "working" you mean "horrifying".

I hope you like bubble wrap

The film of my life

had better carry this warning. I love how perfectly juxtaposed it is. There's nothing funny about violence, yet "slapstick violence" sounds hilarious. There's nothing "mild" about either slapstick or violence, yet specifying how gentle the violence is, creates a moment of bathotic genius. And how "mild" can it be anyway - the poster carries a health warning! It's perfect in every way.

A bunch of sellouts

It's a clean sweep at the Wantage beer fest. Good on 'em.

Am I the last person to notice

how well the new(ish) Hammersmith and City line trains match up with their terminus' platform? Yeah, thought so. I might be the first to case enough to blog about it though! Oh God, what has this site become? A record of my slow descent into middle aged inanity? Ah well, it's cheaper than a novelty tie collection I suppose.

If your cheque run is boring I feel bad for you son

is to make the boring, fun.

Parochial? Nous?

Funny how we love to laugh at American news for its lack of perspective but then, when a fifty year storm threatens to flood the NYC subway system and destroy homes many miles inland, our papers are leading with the "disrupted Britons' holidays" angle. Good work, chaps.

I WANT TO TAKE YOU TO A GAY BAR

GAY BAR

In profile

Yes, my nose is that big.

SKOGHALL

I can only assume this is named after the legendary Swedish Hogwarts, famous for its excellent shower facilities.

It's been one of those mornings

Look at this pallet

Just look at it.

And the award for "Most pointless packaging feature" goes to...

Two packs for £3 too, nom.

Gooseberries

were unknown in ancient Egypt

A cheeky Jaipur

My lunch

After my Mum got to it.

Honk! Honk!

The bar is open... Again.

The weather could not look better

I would submit that this is the best we've had since '09. Time for a pint!

Remarkably presentable, given last night

The banner is up

This makes it much more official. I was urged not to attempt putting this up on my own but strangely a job which has in the past taken a team of three over an hour of profanity laden toil seemed to be a fifteen minute doddle when one is cake simply to heton with it. Of course my radical technique of using no (as opposed to about twenty) zip ties and only half hitch knots will probably land us with a civil lawsuit from a usual driver across whose windscreen the newly liberated banner has been blown, but as both the hamper company and the vineyard have departed this corner I really don't think there's anything of value left to hit.

Ice jackets are on

Let the cooling commence!

Here we go again...

Reassuringly unsuccessful

What could be more British than selling out to the Swiss?

At least the begonia is loving the rain

In other news, I can't believe I just wrote that. Pass the slippers.

It's all on in Harrogate!

My magnetic wrist health band

Will kick your magnetic wrist health band's arse.

The perfect antidote to Mondays

Man size kitchen roll

for those of us took lazy even to go to the cupboard more than once a month.

Unloved items

Guy has been cycling a lot recently

As in, first in, first out in the beer fridge.

No respect

You pop into the local car part shop for a pint of lubricant and a drive shaft and all you can find is this filth...

Private Rod

Mind your head.

Ham in a can

Ham in a Can!

Mixed tomatoes

I had no idea the point of no return would be so well signposted

Please enjoy the bees!

1980's Oyster card

There's nothing new under the sun eh.

Temprrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

anillo

Do not eat raw.

The mind boggles.

More excellent steps

This time in Greenwich

KFC, tempting as always

The Darcy Hunter

A sad little staircase

The hoarding is down next to West Brompton tube, revealing this lovely vestigial arch, currently seeing service as somebody's smoke shelter.

Progress

Six years ago I bought my trusty Compaq in Denver. In two weeks I'll be back there, with its step grandson.
