we often hear that the UK has more CCTV cameras per person than any other country, but it turns out that was a vague fact someone once made up.  i know that because i listened to radio 4 on the way home yesterday and that makes you brainy.  there was also some interesting thing about online research vs telephone polls.  see hear

i first spotted these chaps walking behind some people in the park (who also seemed to be marching)
080512_350d_img_4942.jpg

this is just an everyday occurance in london
080512_350d_img_4946.jpg

these have got to be the most impractical hats and clothing ever.  especially in the 27 degree heat of yesterday
080512_350d_img_4948.jpg

the bloke in the middle looked particularly funny

as you can see here
080512_350d_img_4950.jpg

i wondered if they were actually clowns in disguise

080512_350d_img_4954.jpg

and when they arrive at their destination they'll whip their hats and capes off to reveal comedy clown clothes
080512_350d_img_4955.jpg

not that they weren't amusing as they were
080512_350d_img_4958.jpg

and they got a great camera based reception as they arrived at the main road
080512_350d_img_4960.jpg

so there we are.  a nice photo story for ya.

a work colleague gave a presentation yesterday.  it was interesting, but i was slightly distracted by the various lines going on when he stood in front of the blinds.  he kindly posed for me afterwards.

080509_850_img_8262.jpg

it's a pity i only had my compact camera otherwise i might have been tempted to use this for my course !

080509_850_img_8268-Edit.jpg

at the risk of turning in to a normal blog, here's a story from our life.  jane's car broke down on the way back home yesterday and i drove out to meet them so she and the girls could go home in my car.  before they went we i walked up to a nearby garage and got some food to eat whilst i was waiting.  unfortunately i left my sandwich on the counter, which was a shame.

anyway, i sat in the boot for half an hour or so until the breakdown man turned up.  he asked me to open the bonnet and i fiddled about for a few minutes looking for the pully thing, before re-emerging and explaining that i was actually quite rubbish at cars, and would he mind doing it.  he pulled a lever directly in front of where i was sitting and opened the bonnet.

he looked at the car then quickly disconnected battery as he feared the car might set itself on fire !  perhaps sitting in the boot wasn't the best plan.  the car was loaded on to his van and plopped outside our house where it rests to this day (which is the same day as yesterday since this will be published tomorrow).

so there we go.  an actual story from the funkypancake household.

i can tell you.  they all get trapped on this round about and go round and round and round.

i'm always suspicious about condiments in the bedroom. 

NB some people don't consider salt to be a condiment.  if that statement applies to you then i apologise for the nonsense of the previous statement.

i took these photos looking up at a brick wall and i wondered why people were staring at me.  i walked a little further and realised they actually belonged to the russian embassy.  oooops.

i took the day off work yesterday to spend the day taking photos of things for my course.  this was the first thing(s) i tried to take a picture of as it's meant to show the word 'black'.  but i don't think it does.  so i got a bit disillusioned and before I knew it the day was gone.  ho hum.

even though they didn't meet the brief (at least i don't think they do) they are fairly ok-ish photos i think.  the earphones look a bit sinister in some of the pictures.
