Art Car Boot

Shock horror, famous artist signs eggs and tries to flog them for £25 at the art car boot. You can read the vaguely inaccurate  Evening Standard article here. I say inaccurate because as far as I could tell there wasn’t any “scramble” to purchase the eggs that I was aware of.

This pre-set included amongst other things gambling, games, terrorist activity (a.k.a. bomb making) racism and religion.

More Fake Album Covers.

From Genia, with biogs: Delphinus 70s: Stars in Delphinus “In Summer, The Song Sings Itself”.  That sadly forgotten 70’s prog/wig-out group featuring Barry Lightfoot and his infamous 12 minute flute solos.

Strategy for ensuring the seat next to you remains empty whilst travelling by train.

Travelling by train is nice. Having a fat sweaty person next to you is not however. Here’s my strategy for dealing with the problem: Arrive at the station early to ensure you get a descent seat. place a coat or other “prop” on the adjacent seat. Download the above image and open it up on your laptop, ensuring it is clearly visible to anyone passing. If anyone asks you “is this seat free?” follow the script as above. Enjoy.
