I can imagine a lot of meetings that should start with this cartoon.
beware of the artist
A friend of mine in New York sent me this. It puzzles us both.
a picture paints a thousand etc
we took these pictures on weymouth beach. every time i look at them i just have to smile. the power of an image.
ingenious
This is the kind of imagination I'd like to see from Transport For London. Who's going to park somewhere with the threat of the car ending up on the underground?
hang on a minute
I was walking along Regent Street the other evening. And I looked up. And I thought, hang on, I'm sure that building used to have a back.
signs of the times
playmobil now make an airport security playset.
and they've staged some kind of riot/police operation in the window of hamleys.
rule britannia
Here's a sign that Britain still is top nation. This is my favourite road sign, one you see around occasionally. We must be top nation if we still have road signs which assume the population is literate enough to understand the phrase 'adverse camber'. Two words hardly anyone ever uses.
I didn't take this picture. I did an image search on Google and it's from a personal site of an American visitor who clearly found the sign puzzling. Apologies to him if he discovers my appropriation.
Hurrah for the DoT and their high expectations of motorist vocabulary.
the horror
Here it is, in a single ad, everything that's wrong with the world. Or is that putting it too strong? No. Look at it. 'Generations of Excellence' What are they talking about? And look at those clothes. Jeez. And that kid.
beautiful and/or sad
Saw this this morning in Great Titchfield Street
