Right now, I am hauled up in my West London flat, having been excused from work on account of a nasty case of Optic Neuritis that has totally messed up the sight in my right eye. I’m popping enough pills to have made Hunter S. Thompson take note and trying to fight off the horrendous…

In order to succeed
I don’t have too much to show for myself this week as I was only working til Wednesday. I was considering skipping posting today, but I’ve gotten such positive feedback about these little signs that I thought I might as well show you what I have. Here are the travel notices for this week. You…
Look what I found
DRT began exhibiting his uniquely abstract pieces in London at the end of last year. Since then, I have noticed and photographed several of his works around the city. The artist was at it again this weekend in Camden Town and I spotted the new piece on my way to work. When I got into…
Do what you can
Herself is in Greece, so I’m home alone for the next week until I join her over there for Greek Easter. I’ll have to find something to keep myself occupied for the weekend, though I fear my efforts may amount to little more that sitting on the couch and watching Sergei Bondarchuk’s incredible 8 hour…
Hope and fear
Here are the travel notices for this particularly sodden April week in London. Enjoy the weekend.
This week in travel notices
Here are the travel notices I spotted on my way to work this week. I hope that they add some colour to your weekend.
What will happen?
The bods at Camden Road Station are getting creative and have left a small conundrum for us to think about over the weekend. Share your thoughts in the comments and I will pass on the wittiest/best answer to the guy at the station on Monday morning. I will also, of course, post the answer to…
Download and print the “Don’t forget, you’re here forever,” sign from The Simpsons
Anyone familiar with the popular animated TV show, The Simpsons, might remember the sign that Mr. Burns gifts Homer at the end of the the episode And Maggie Makes Three. I quickly whipped up a replica sign in Photoshop and put it on the wall in-front of my colleague’s desk as a goof, because that’s…
This week in travel notices
One of the guy’s who writes these each morning caught me taking a photograph during the Thursday rush hour. I explained that I post these pictures on the site and he seemed quite flattered. He thanked me for paying attention. No, said I, thank you. I now have a “Reddit” share button. It would be…
Best of London Travel Notices
Rather than posting one of these per day and completely clogging-up my feed, I have decided to instead publish a weekly round-up of the best travel notices at my local train station. As a little bonus and for good measure, I have added some images from a few years ago when I used to see…
Citizen, remain vigilant
The terrorist threat level in the United Kingdom has recently been raised to Severe, meaning that there is high likelihood of a terrorist attack in the immediate future. Since the British Government initiated the launch of air missions against the Islamic State in Syria, living in London feels a lot like living in the centre…
Too weird to not post
I went to the dentist before work today and spotted this very unusual piece of street art near Camden Town tube station on the way to the office. It’s incredibly odd, but I quite like it. Any suggestions for a caption? Please comment below.
Mural Swapping in Camden
Perhaps some of you may remember a post from few weeks ago in which I displayed some new public art that had been painted onto a wall near the office. It appears that another artist has now painted over that mural. I must admit, the new work is a striking and bold piece, but it also…
Happy Sunday from London
We shared a can of beer after work and went for a walk in the cool evening air, Wednesday last. Herself lives near the old London Docks, so we threw some shapes down through Wapping by way of Shadwell. This here is Shadwell Basin. It’s a beautiful little spot. I’m sure you will agree. The water was…
A quick one before the weekend
The NES was one of the first gaming systems that I ever played and I’ll never forget the hundreds of hours I spent sitting in front of the TV with this thing in my paws, trying time and again to beat Super Mario Bros. 2. Thinking about it now, I’m not sure if I ever did actually complete that game. I remember gripping the controller so tightly during those particularly difficult later stages that I’d force an impression of its cornered edges into my little hands. Sometimes I would apply such pressure that I’d actually bruise. I also head-butted my Gameboy while playing Wario once, but that’s an altogether different story.
