Balloon Swans

Trafalgar square can be quite dull…especially if you’re a kid. If you are, then what is more fun than balloon animals and several large fountains for them to swim in.  The kids loved it. The wardens didn’t.

Balls to London

Everybody likes a kick about right? Nothing like a bit of world cup willy. So what if we distributed footballs around the place? Council Estates, Tube Stations, Outside Pubs, in Parks, we could have a mass spontaneous bit of footie going on! (many thanks to a certain company for providing some dead stock!)

If you find, found, kicked, headed one of the balls or managed to pick it up send in your photos to the email provided and pass it on!

Super Rubbish Lady

As you know if you have lived in a student hall, one of the biggest problem is that no one ever takes the rubbish out. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, I see Trash flowing over the bins and bags and bags or rubbish left piling up. If only someone can get rid of them all at once!

Tourist Photos

While walking through town one day, we noticed a group of tourists on Waterloo Bridge taking photos, and then swapping the camera around so they could all be in the picture, but one was always left out. We just went up and asked if they wanted us to take the photo for them. After doing one, we couldn’t stop and ended up asking one group after another if we could take their photos for them. Some were polite in telling us to get the hell away from their cameras and others were very grateful. Here are a couple photos of us taking photos of them.

Please Take Me

I like chocolate, and I like free chocolate even more. I was sure I wasn’t the only one, so on Sun 18th I decided to leave a few chocolate bars lying around town. I left 8 of them at intervals on my route into and around central, each with a small label.

I know that 5 of them had gone by the time I retraced my steps only 20 minutes later, so if you happened to find one and were curious enough to type in the website, it would be nice to hear from you about what you were doing when you came across them and how suspicious you were.

For a Cooler Tube

There is poor ventilation and no air conditioning on London’s tube! So my friends and I decided to leave home-made foam board fans on the seats for everyone to use/fan themselves/enjoy! Some simple instructions were also designed on one side of the fan, with a velcro on the other side to ‘paste’ the fan onto the seat’s fabric. Here are some photographs of people using them..

Thank You

Reasons for Saying Thanks

Week in, week out I buy a coffee in this little cafe opposite where I work. All I

have to do is show my face at the door and my lovely lady behind the counter

starts to make my coffee even before I order. I am a creature of habit so this is

just perfect for me. However, as I work as a part-time waiter myself I rely heavily

on tips for a living and imagine that she does too, but, she’ll never accept tips

from me. When she comes into my restaurant she always leaves a tip and this

has been on my mind for a long time now. So to thank her for her kindness I

seized the moment last week and as you’ll see from this video, she

appreciated it..
