Avoid Christmas Disappointment & Stay In Bed

It's that time of year folks. The time of year when you start to do the 'heating's coming on dance'. Usually around about 5.45pm. Not long after the frostbite has set in, which of course makes dancing a tad difficult. Ventured out tonight in the freezing fog to get some messages. I did consider going back out again with the camera to get some moody fog pics, but I wasn't for doing anything until I regained the feeling in my fingers and legs, by which time I'd decided I'd rather set fire to my armpits than go back outside again. Of course, a good old cold snap is no bad thing, if only to freeze snot nosed, paranoid, mentally deficient wanker students to the pavement as they queue ACROSS the pavement to get their money from cashpoint machines. The result is the sight, all across town, of absolute fucking morons causing a major obstruction to passers by in the name of the confused notion that just because someone is behind you,they can't see your pin. Fucking hell!! It happened to me the other night and it was frankly embarrassing to have to join in with this 'dance of the retards'. I could see people joining the queue and thinking the same as me. NOBODY CAN SEE YOUR PIN IF YOU COVER THE KEYPAD!!!!!!! If someone is too close for comfort, simply fucking turn and stare at them, as I did a few weeks ago to some toolbag outside Sainsbury's. It ain't fucking difficult. In fact, it's rather satisfying and empowering. Just watch them sheepishly step back and out of your face. Even the meekest of spoddy studes should be capable of such a feat, though if passive aggression is your general MO, then I have to admit that such activity may not be for you and queuing across across the pavement must seem pretty natural........
Not my favourite BTS song, but the best one I have to hand. Still better than most stuff you'll ever hear.

Not Another New Blog!


Found a new photo upload site called Fotonomy. It's from the guy who invented Fotothing. It's free (for now) and it seems to be pretty much an unlimited upload. It's tidy, easy on the eye, easy to use. Perfrect.

There have been some strange goings on at Fotothing and the site is down at the moment, but I'll still be posting stuff there, as I'm merely a freebie member.

This leads me to something I've been mulling over for some time. Since I ended my photo diary blog Seven Days, I've been thinking of a project to replace it. The Amazing One Man Brake Club is up and running and may well be the successor, though not quite the one I envisaged. What I'd like to be able to do is a sort of group blog. I'd be looking for people to contribute photos, short video clips(no more than 1-2 minutes long) containing anything you want. Short stories, poetry and songs are also welcome. Apparently up to 100 people can be added to any blog as a contributer.

Anyway, just floating it as an idea, see how many of you would be up for this. If the interest shown is low (less than half a dozen people) then I'll put it on the back burner for now.
