Nutty sweet treacle mild with a quiet burn. Yum.

Maximum 4 dogs per walker
March 17, 2010 –
Spotted this sign near Sydenham Park. The graphic looks like a mind map but the message is so unexpected. I wonder if one of the versions was a person with 5 dogs and negative line through it; no doubt someone could argue they had 6 dogs and therefore they were ok. The sign doesn’t work [...]
Fire! Fire! Multiple choice.
February 15, 2010 –
This reminds me of a few previous posts most notably http://sma11.com/2008/push-that-button/. Imagine there is a fire. Admittedly you would probably hit them all, or would you? Would you think that the buttons related to the severity of the fire? Maybe the green one produces an ashtray, the amber notifies the janitor and the red does [...]
I’d rather be fighting Chavs
February 8, 2010 –
The best fitness promo (on the street) i have seen was a group of girls in fitness clothes looking well, er, fit and healthy – what made it memorable was not their beauty it was their attitude. They were running up to passers by giving them a leaflet then bounding off like they were in [...]
Ever lasting calender from postcards
February 7, 2010 –
A calender that lasts forever is not a new idea but this one, made from a simple slotted plastic sheet filled with postcards, is an excellent idea. It’s like a development on the fridge as a sharing tool.
You are the man.
February 4, 2010 –
This product type will always amuse me, it’s a do-rag. Effectively an elasticated bandana. Every example I have seen ihas demonstrated some sort of graphic genius or an amusing way with words, I stumbled on this one in my local chemist. Yes, you ARE the man.
Black cock picture request
February 1, 2010 –
Yet another piece of word art (!). This bit of graffiti is in the mens toilet next to the quaint rose garden of Brockwell Park. The text is quite small but the message is clear. Or is it? What I find genius is that this joke is a development on the classic ‘call ____ for [...]
Civil service bag
January 19, 2010 –
When I was registering my child I noticed this very classic bag. Who would have thought this type of thing would be kicking around Brixton Council.
The dying art of DIY snow maintenance
January 13, 2010 –
It snows. It will always snow. Well, some years… but that is no excuse. All people, residents and users should take some responsibility for their environment. In the last week people have done nothing but whinge about how the snow has been compacted and is now ice – unwalkable and unclearable. The shortage of grit [...]
Having a baby enhances your senses
January 7, 2010 –
Project baby is going rather well, we have been lucky- the development engine in my little Wren is fully functioning. It is affecting me; I have officially gained super human hearing and a bonus ‘baby sense’ which allows me to
Labour, life, love
December 23, 2009 –
Wow. Wow. Wow. Birth/ labour is a very intimate time between partners. I am so happy that I was there for the journey, for my wife. My first child, Penelope Wren was born at 02:55 on 23rd December 2009 at Kings College Hospital. Weighing a healthy 3.456Kg (7lb 10oz). Wow. The Kings College team was [...]
Chelone AKA MC Lowqui
November 17, 2009 –
This post is under time. Time moves everything, atoms, emotions, hair. I have known this chap for a good few years maybe 13. If only I knew how he was. Time has moved him and I can’t find him.
How to make coat into goat.
November 13, 2009 –
With only a pen and a bit of imagination I was able to turn this coat hook on an aeroplane into a goat hook. I made the modification mid flight to Germany, on the way to visit KDG about their EPG earlier this year.
Big, soft and made of metal
November 11, 2009 –
This statue, or would it be best to call it an installation? Is in the centre of Schipol, Amsterdam’s airport. I have been through the airport many times over the years and always admired the piece so thought it finally worth a mention. I like it because every time I have seen the two slumped figures [...]
A Library Chair
November 6, 2009 –
I was rather impressed when I saw this chair. This is the first one I have ever seen, last month while in Orkney. If the concept of a library chair is new to you then I implore you to look closely at the chair in step mode. The hinge allows the upper half of the [...]
