2010 Portraits

Excuse me

Is it just me, or does Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, look a bit like Christof, from The Truman Show?





Conspiracy? I think not.

Michael Stahl-David: Behind the Star

I can't believe I have only just found this. It's extremely funny.

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Still stuck for Christmas presents? Not got a ruddy dime on you? Well check this out kids. Look what I made this afternoon...

A HANDY PEN STORAGE UNIT!





All you need is about a gazillion train tickets, a free afternoon and serious doubt as to why you've opted for a creative career. And all for free*! What more do you need to brighten up this festive season.

Merry Christmas!

*If you actually calculated the amount of money I have spent on train tickets, it does take the piss somewhat. Not to mention the time involved in making such a creation.

Long live Little Chef

Coming home from a less than enjoyable weekend in Wales, we decided to divert from the M25 as Ray has work Monday morning. So we got stuck in traffic on the A34 instead. Things were looking bleak, the iPod had hit Elton John and Bev looked weary, but then we spotted a Little Chef. We either killed ourselves or had some fun at the nation's favourite diner. We took the latter.

There is something about Little Chef that you just can't describe. I'm not sure if it's the music from 2003, that is so inaudible that it's pree much Morse code, or the 'Mock Living Room Style' lights, but I just can't get enough of it.

I opted for the 'Jubilee Pancakes' (tasty as) whilst Bev and Ray went for a jacket potato with coleslaw and fish and chips respectively. I think we can all say we felt thoroughly nourished and satisfied post eating, and were ready to hit the open yet slow-moving road.

I'm glad silly Mr Blumenthal failed at restyling Little Chef. We do not need any more coffee shop style 'eateries', instead we call for naff paper napkins and reasonably priced all day breakfasts.

Here here. Long live Little Chef.

In other news...

Oh my god, the sky's on fire.

Too much paint

I may or may not have put up Christmas decorations

I may or may have put up too many photos of this occasion. It was just so damn festive.

Pigeon Watch

Ok ok ok I'll write a blog. Calm down lads. << Could I sound anymore arrogant?!

Soz, been busy and all with meeting new friends, staying in touch with old ones and general life in the capital. And how wonderful it is too.

Did everybody see Life last night? Well you should have. It's your absolute British right to watch Sir Davey Attenbo.

Now I don't have no reptiles to show, BUT there was a larger than normal pigeon sitting outside my window not 10 minutes ago. So I grabbed my camera obscura and snappy snapped away.

Said pigeon.


Pigeonus extralargus, which of course is Latin for large pigeon.


In situ, complete with window frame.


The money shot.


Oh no, it flew away. (Please see pigeon in the top right hand corner)


Right must dash. Got some emails from the BBC wildlife department to reply to.
Au revoir
