Suck-Cess

This had me in stitches... Whoever came up with this as a name for a cess pit emptying company was a genius :) One thing that does confuse me tho. Who still has a cess pit? Surely with modern sewers it's only old mansions that still have them.

Skateboarding vs Procreation



Oww is all I can say... that's gotta chafe... how he managed to get up and not vomit afterwards I don't know. That's another skate border that's not having kids.

First Signs of Winter

I'm really hoping for a white Christmas this year... It's been too long since the last one. Feels like i haven't seen one since i was a child. With the first flakes of snow appearing today i hope it's a good sign for a nice decent snowfall this year.

Crumbs

I'm all for healthy snacks. So whenever I'm at the shops i look out for something healthy to feed my desire for crisps :-) these were Nomi's latest idea... Parsnip crisps... Sounded like a good deal... 50 calories per bag. Then i noticed the catch. The bag was as good as empty. Think I'll start selling healthy black pudding. Of course it'll need to be the size of a cocktail sausage :-)

Foldaway Home


This idea is so crazy it might even work.... everyone knows how space conscious the Japanese are, so this fits in well with their lifestyle. Though it does look a little utilitarian to me.

Hospital Portraits


I've been spending a lot of time at Kings College Hospital lately (something i will explain at some point, when i'm ready). To liven the place up there are portrait photographs of the staff all over the walls, in the many long corridors. I think it's a really good idea as at least for me it shows a pride in where they work, and gives it a community feeling. Only problem is that like school photos, sometimes you don't look too happy. Like this chap.

Here come the clowns

I've never been to a propper circus before. Fairgrounds yes... Even a clown show that was put on at a theme park... But never a propper traveling circus :-( hopefully one day I'll be able to go to one rather than just drive past it :-)

Incendiary

My sister and her boyfriend were extras for this film... So I'll definately be going to see it when it comes out. Wonder if she made the final cut? Time to play spot the Wib :)

Live Octopus



It's apparently a delicacy... Personally I'll try anything once, just to say I've done it. But this is bordering on the limit of what I'll try.

Fog Horn

First time I've been across to the IoW in fog... My god the fog horn is so annoying! Not so much a horn noise... More of a very loud beep!
