View Article  Job creation schemes

Not since the Youth Training Scheme employed school leavers to stand around as goalposts have I seen such a pointless waste of time.

Someone has painted an entire graffiti'd door along the Grand Union canal path black. Except that they have painstakingly gone around the Banksy piece. Now if you or me were told "paint the door but leave the Banksy intact" would you paint under each line of text or just paint round the whole piece? Weird, weird, weird.

View Article  2 - 0 to the Arsenal

Going from Arsenals old stadium to the new Emirates stadium is only about 500 yards but they are light years apart in styling - from Art Deco to cutting edge.

Anyway I am pleased to report that the Gunners triumphed with a neat 2-0 win over FC Porto, including a headed goal from Thierry Henry. Next time I'll try to get a seat nearer the pitch but I liked the subutteo quality of this picture taken from my seat.

 

View Article  On the Front line

I spent some time searching for LondonFrontLine work recently. This one I got to just a little bit too late as it's already got the outline of a throw up on it.

It's still very fine, crisp lines! On Tottenham Court Road. More soon.

Post Post note: These monkeys are by Mighty Mo - not London Front Line.
