Previous Day :: Next Day

jeeff: there's a gang of pranksters here in toronto who paste-up val kilmer's head everywhere, along with spraypainting his name and peace signs around. it used to be really funny when there were just one or two in out-of-the-way spots, but now they're totally ubiquitous in some parts of town...

in response to Lionel Richie Paste-Ups

ea: cause that would make it awesome!

in response to my complacent desire

elaine: way. yes, and actually this would make a really good cycling or even slightly ambitious walking holiday. I have meant to do it for some time. I have seen many of them, some are provate houses, some are derelict, some are open th the public. they are all on the coast...

in response to Cement Thing

elaine: beats me, it's not like it's on the way anywhere, and you can't build on it. maybe they thought they could start the channel tunnel there? they keep busy moving the pebbles around, you're right, it's completely claimed land, it shouldn't even be there how can you not like the sea? is...

in response to No Cars on Nassau Street

Lionel Richie: I’m stuck on you I’ve got this feeling down Deep in my soul That I just can’t lose Guess, I’m on my way!

in response to Lionel Richie Paste-Ups

kimberly: my gran told me all that land used to be owned by british railways. what would they want with a spread like romney marsh? the place is a floating sinkhole only kept afloat by old earth works and partitions that date back almost to the romans, expecially that stretch of...

in response to dungeness 1998

kimberly: this is a pretty photograph and it leaves me curious why some one would paint a house blue but paint it's door red

in response to my complacent desire

kimberly: part of me thinks those lionel ritchey things are really weird but most of me thinks they are bloody hilarious

in response to Lionel Richie Paste-Ups

kimberly: thanks for showing us all the bridges of Nyc. now if i could only come to Nyc and go across them all :-D

in response to dungeness 1998

anon: that sure looks like a busy spot.

in response to Getting Over

Peter: theyre self-adhesive sheets... they just stick right onto the wall, it seems... theyd probably be more lasting/waterproof if wheatpasted, though.

in response to Lionel Richie Paste-Ups

anon: are those sticky sheets or wheatpaste or what?

in response to Lionel Richie Paste-Ups

Peter: no way? indeed! www.martello-towers.co.uk/

in response to Back of a Building

elaine: well, the pictures aren't all that, and i havn't got a story i really wanna tell with it, i just let out the rant by way of conversation... let me post something nicer i shot today, wait

in response to Back of a Building

Peter: i feel very similar in regards to the cops. i say make the entry and tell your story so others can find it without digging through the comments. theres nothing wrong with dissing on the cops and speaking your mind ;)

in response to Back of a Building

elaine: i am too bad tempered about the whole thing to dignify it with it's own entry. Bastarding police, they really pissed me off, it was like some sketch on a comedy as if you phoned the police and they were being run by teenage girls "it aint our problem... no.....

in response to Back of a Building

elaine: I know, imagine my disappointment to discover they've been mothballed. There is another one we can get to, but it's little like the round ones, not the big one. You're supposed to be able to hear a frenchman eating a bag of crisps. Also the timing was bad with a...

in response to Leffrinckoucke Beach

Peter: also: the same car photographed a couple of years earlier!

in response to Back of a Building

Peter: also: a car rusts in brooklyn

in response to Back of a Building

hasslehoff: you gotta love the met. in what was isn't this a police matter? The very fact that the van has no plates makes it a police matter, nevermind the fact that it was on fire. hahahaa

in response to Back of a Building

Peter: these photos are deserving of their own entry, elaine!

in response to Back of a Building

Peter: WTF!!! that shit is insane. yeah, totally post-apocalypse. what i wouldnt give to skate in one of em, though :)

in response to Leffrinckoucke Beach

elaine: and here we see a burnt out van as well as yet another bike being taken away by the council. i phoned the police when i saw the van waiting outside my building stripped of plates because i could only guess how disgusting the smoke was going to be, but...

in response to Back of a Building

Peter: totally. last time i flew, they confiscated my- get this- nosehair trimmers... which have blades that are like 2mm long. hahahahahaha. but then again, that was at a nyc airport. naturally, theyre freaky about security nowadays... but not enough to actually do much more than annnoy the law abiding citizens...

in response to Herd Instinct: Luton - Belfast

hasslehoff: photos at: www.ajg41.clara.co.uk/mirrors/dungeness.html ive never seen or heard of these installations before. they look almost post-apoalyptic.

in response to Leffrinckoucke Beach

elaine: serpently is, the locals have discovered fire, it could be dangerous...they may vote next

in response to Back of a Building

elaine: there are also very very exciting installations called sound mirrors, which they made expensively and redundantly just before radar was invented/discovered (doh). they are big and concrete and face france or so. there is a big one at dungeness I was going to visit a few weeks ago but...

in response to Leffrinckoucke Beach

hasslehoff: Originially it would have read "Beware of Train" but someone seems to have seen fit to modify it with some white paint to read "Beware of IRA" yeh! ;-)

in response to Rural Northern Ireland

elaine: don't know, but i do know that we are just now allowed nailfiles again at heathrow after the 9/11 tightening on security meant that they evidently thought passengers were going to be manicuring folk to death

in response to Herd Instinct: Luton - Belfast

hasslehoff: when i used to go there you got x-rayed and frisked just going into the terminal building.

in response to Herd Instinct: Luton - Belfast

Peter: so they meant it to say "beware of ira"? hahahahahaha.

in response to Rural Northern Ireland

Peter: wonder what security is like at belfast international airport?

in response to Herd Instinct: Luton - Belfast

aikon: whot is these?

in response to Herd Instinct: Luton - Belfast

Gavin Cruickshank: oh dear, this is just dreadful. You'd never see such an awful mess in Finland. I am seriously considering reconsidersing my move to Moscow after this.

in response to Junk Yards of Moscow

Gavin Cruickshank: I'm currently considering a move to Moscow. Either that or New Jersey (i'm undecided). These photos sway me towards Hoboken though. Moscow looks very dirty and not the kind of of place I would enjoy living. I'm a cultured fellow. I can see that after a hard day of work...

in response to Moscow Garbage

hasslehoff: isn't it just. also: i like the way the "N" is beginning o peep through in the second photo to spell the word "IRAN"

in response to Rural Northern Ireland

hasslehoff: Yeah, we have the same sorta stuff here in england. The countryside is peppered with reinforced concrete river defenses known as "pill boxes". They're protected from demolition by the government as sites of historical interest or something. As such they have endured decades of tagging and senseless teenage vandalism, and...

in response to Back of a Building

elaine : and to complete the mutual link.. it seems to me that jamie's dogged attempts to just be a person in NI in the face of such a strong desire to always be at the pulling this way and that is just that same construction of reality which does make it...

in response to Blood Graffiti

hasslehoff: made me post made me swear made me burn my pubic hair

in response to Back of a Building

elaine: ha ha hasslehoff, made you post!!!!

in response to Back of a Building

elaine: okay, now i am going to try and make a link to here blood grafitti and back again if it works because there is something similar going on in the text and the threads, and i don't mean 2 tribes guff - just about an individual speaking their reality in...

in response to Northern Ireland Memoirs: Part One

hasslehoff: elaine: i see that, and raise you: shazam!

in response to Back of a Building

Jamie: Reading through some old stuff on www.swinney.org i stumbled across something which was written way back in 2002 whilst i was in Northern Ireland "Since the beginning, living in Ireland has been a somewhat challeging experience. An uneasy feeling. The best way to describe it is this: ##Ireland is exactly the...

mr.finderson: RA is not all about bombing. and that kid sekto isnt a good representation of what their crew is about. the crew is disband now besides. those dudes had mad mad sick writers with style. yeh. this dallas ish is sloppy. delta's point is pretty much the truth of it....

in response to Dallas Graffiti Like What!

elaine: Yeah, bollocks to the bad day, that underbridge looks like as good a place as any to stick it. Let the trolls do their worst. Naughty bad day, bad bad day, in your bed.

in response to Troll\'s Twilight

elaine: lovely. i offer you this in reply:

in response to Back of a Building

elaine: yeah, i spied that alcatraz window, and am liking seeing them together. I have a thing for windows. I usually do them from the outside but these have both got a good window mojo with a claustraphobia twist.

in response to Descending

elaine: hasslehoff, you are so bloodymidedly longsuffering. you make me laugh, which is a good thing, but i have to tell you, you are never going to cure these guys of their pointless alleigences or their bad grammar, and plus, aren't you worried you will get a left hook for your...
