sweet corn in a tin
i just love the golden glow in this tin.
the thames near my office
i don't walk much in a regular day so i've now got a noticable beer/chocolate belly. so i decided to see what i could find within a speedy walk from my office. and i found the thames near Syon House. And it's very nice. i'll be back on a sunny day to get some nicer photos.
i like how they need to point out this is naturally beautiful ... and how its not compatible with rubbish
big eye's big job
big eye is doing a big job in his bathroom and wanted to share it with us, which is nice. he's going to keep us informed so we can offer help and advice as he goes. it's going to be an opportunity for some really bad puns which will no doubt drive us round the bend. eventually i'm sure he'll be flushed with success
invisible telephone box
if you were superman, this would be a really bad place to get changed.
big eye's fancy car
our friend big eye (him who has his own category), sent me these pictures. i think it's a do it yourself people carrier, and he's demonstrating an ideal way of carrying extra passengers.
miss president's bollards
miss president sent me this excellent bollard picture:
she wrote: " I emailed you a few weeks ago about the following pictures. These were taken while on a walk in Hewitt, New Jersey, USA. I think that the poor bollard looks like he has been sick. :) My fiance and I have now found ourselves on the lookout since I have been following your blog - we see bollards/cones everywhere now! "
have fun classifying photos
it's very rare for me to post a link to something, but this is an exception. what a fantastic way of getting other people to categorise photos - you never know a funkypancake photo might appear there sometime. i think i'm addicted to random word association with an unknown stranger !
lie down when putting your umbrella up
has this person been stabbed by the wrong end of an arrow ? or are they lying down struggling to put up their umbrella ?
the water poet, shoreditch
i can highly recommend The Water Poet in Shoreditch. fantastic place.
midsomer murders
they were recording midsommer murders at this train station on monday. if you look carefully you can see john nettles in a big jacket.
i spotted the crew fiddling about with a ladder by the normal station sign
and by the magic of gaffer tape, it was converted in to Causton station
seconds later (once they'd all got off the ladder and moved to the other side of the platform) and small gust of wind blew the sign back off. i'm not sure what happened next as i viewed this through my train window which was only parked up for a few seconds
esther's baptism
esther got baptised yesterday. what a fantastic thing it was !
and afterwards we had a big party cake
the ispa awards
thursday night was our industry awards night. this year hosted by lee hurst who was quite hilarious (not a word i use lightly).
step of faith
Keith (other half of pootlecat) sent me this and says "I was at my Niece's Christening a few weeks ago when I saw this quality "mind the step" sign in the church and thought of funkypancake (St Michael's in Linlithgow, if you're interested)"
rascle's maddest professor look
as also seen here and posted with his permission (just in case you were worried)
guess the thing
answer:
eye photo
not quite a no photography sign. it's simply not one.
cheryl baker
this advert is often found in underground trains and it's a bit weird i think. Cheryl Baker is a D list celebrity in the UK and has been for 25 years. Her little bit of 'proper' fame was being in Bucks Fizz doing the Eurovision skirt thing back in 1981.
However, i'd say she's of Bucks Fizz fame, or formerly of Buck Fizz. The wording on this advert suggests she's known as someone who used to be famous for once having been in a famous band.
it's a shame of fame that these days you can be famous for once having been famous for being famous. 3rd generation fame in the same person if you will.
(that was quite wordy for me)
happy valentines day !
(i liked the champagne bottle in the frozen water at the bottom of this eros fountain in hyde park)
dinosaur eats astronaut
a hybrid poster showing a dinosaur attacking a spaceman. you might need to click on it to inspect proper-like.
disabled bell
they should enable this bell. it'd work better.
