So there I was, walking home last Friday. And I saw the photo pictured to, hopefully, the left of this text. I found this funny, why? I love these things. I love them because every time I am quite drunk round town. I look for the darkest alley I can find, and usually find one of these bad boys. It makes me feel good that I don’t have to sully someone’s doorstep, and now it isn’t even an option to try and find somewhere else.
The reason i found this funny was because while Westminster do it well (alleys) Hackney council don’t do it well at all. First, note the chain on the smallest branch of the tree. Now some drunken nutters will be tempted to tip the thing. But best of all is its location, on Old street. The centre of it all. Right in the middle of everything. Now, there are tons of alleys and small areas (only last week I heard a man loudly vomitting outside my flat, he really went for it), so why not put it there? Not sure. Keep on the Hackney, keep on.

I’ve been enjoying the F-word a lot recently, in fact i’ve also enjoyed Gordon Ramsay’s kitchen nightmares too. It’s probably old age.
Something I find amusing is that everytime our man Gordon starts a dish he says “it’s very simple” then proceeds to make a simple dish, but then, all of a sudden, it becomes more and more complicated till we have a final, amazing looking dish that our man Gordon has created. But you’re lost, you got the bit with the fish, and the spices, then it all went beans (meaning wrong, rather that literal beans).
I had a thought though. Similar to my dear lad Richard Hale and his phrase “Come on Tim” for anyone who has no chance of winning. I suggest that when someone starts off, then completely loses you in a conversation you could say “You had me, but you went a bit Gordon there”. Have a go, see if it fits.

Today, this is making me chuckle.
I was reading one of my favourite sites Uncrate and it had this. The reason why it’s making me chuckle is, I have never seen anything so obviously geared for killing and burying someone. A shovel, knife, hatchet, torch (for the night time burial) and to top it, the multi tool with pliers (to make sure he or she won’t be identified by their teeth). All it’s missing is the matches.
Lovely! Now I don’t know whether to categorise this as “life stuff” or to have to make another category.
