    I guess its back to the doughnuts then...

    For some reason this sort of thing really appeals to me, especially with that little sunbeam just playing on it. Maybe I'm in a minority here, but I think there just has to be a story of lost hope in there somewhere

    I think I'd quite like to make a series of things thrown out out of the house in moments of frustration - maybe that's something to keep an eye out for in the future.

    Anyway, as discovered on the street in Finsbury Park, London:

    Oh too funny.

    I know a woman who has about 6 or 7 of these type of things. Always thinks the newer one is going to do the work for her, I guess?

    I love this - and call me crazy, but does it look a little gazelle-like to anyone else? Like it's just out prancing down the street. Okay so it's just me.

    But really I am a fan of out-of-place objects:

    Mig,

    I don't have a picture of it, but I sure will look for 'em now. But once I saw a coke vending machine out by the side of the road.

    that's one of those torture machines where you can never sit down till the machine stops, no surprise he got rid of it!!! Or is the owner just taking a leek behind the hedge before getting back on and riding it home after a boozy session in the pub??

    Perhaps the owner never realised it was supposed to come with a seat...

    Shrapnel - I was on my way to a boozy session at a pub when I saw it - thankfully it didn't occur to me to try to ride it home afterwards

    Mig - love your cooker.

    So... going with this logic, I should take my golf clubs and dump them all over the back yard.

    Good picture by the way. It works for me.

    Thanks efjeld - and I've often threatened my clubs that if they keep playing the way they do they won't be welcome in the house soon, but do they listen?!

    Looks just like all the "gazelle-like" excersize equipment I see every trash day here in town when I go out collecting...Yeah that's right, I am a trash shopper... Mostly for computer stuff.
