Photo library

I think I can understand why the gunzels find this irritating. All media outlets do this kind of thing from time to time — I’m only using an image from the Herald Sun here because they happen this morning to be showing two on the same page. They have a story, say, something about trains,  ... [More]

Officeworks in the rain

I rather liked the pattern made by Officeworks’ corrugated wall combined with today’s rain falling on my car windscreen. Of course, it looked better in real life with the rain drops dripping down.

Funny angle

Everything in the entire world except this bus stop sign is at a funny angle.

Canola

I’ve seen pictures before, but canola crops are startlingly yellow when you see them up close. These photos are from near Nagambie yesterday, where there seems to be a lot of it at the moment. Apparently the name once used here, and still used in the UK, is “rape”, or “rapeseed”. I think I can  ... [More]

To really spin people out, they could print this picture and stick it up around the place. The Royal Mint, Melbourne. Established 1872. Producer of all Australian coins between 1927 and 1967. Noted  ... [More]

Spotted this in Cranbourne: In Korumburra we found this company who appear to have named their business after Net Speak’s “Be Right Back”… complete with an actual BRB message in the window: This was  ... [More]

I’m sharp and smart

…apparently. (It’s a sharps disposal container at Monash Medical Centre.) Also spotted just before Christmas, reindeer carrot in Safeway: “The carrots preferred by reindeers.” “Ingredients: Carrots, magic, love.” I wonder if the ACCC would approve of those claims?

Poor Mr Pictogram

Poor pictogram man; he’s obviously in a state of complete despair over the loss of his car. I wonder if he’s based on someone real? Has anybody compiled a web site of unlucky pictogram people? That’d be a fun project. Actually maybe he didn’t lose his car. Maybe he just got outbid on the signed  ... [More]
