Big Blue Shitter


Now we can’t all design rockets or robot cats, somebody has to put some thought into the humble shit seat. This one (found in the Big Blue Hotel, Blackpool) has enjoyed some real TLC during the design phase. Points to note:

  • Low seat for good ‘exiting’.
  • Wide seat for comfort.
  • heavyily tapered seat, also for good ‘exiting’ as it, well how can i put it? Allows for a good ‘parting’.


In other news we also took maybe more photos than we should have during our weekend in Blackpool to celebrate Auntie Chells 70th. If you’ve got a few days to spare why not have a browse?

Children of Men

So we finally got round to watching Children of Men last night as we taped it off the telly on our sky box thingy months ago, and oh my is it good. OK so the plot is a bit predictable, and some of the dialogue and acting could be better but the direction is sweet. A great attention to detail in the art direction (check out the 2012 Olympics jumper worn towards the end of the film by Clive and the Guantanamo Bay pastiche in the ‘fugee center) along with massive long hand held single shot action sequences make for a genuinely believable vision of the future. There are no sweeping CG aerial camera angles of cityscapes, people don’t all listen to ambient trance, America has blown up, nothing flys that shouldn’t fly, there’s no overly elaborate computer systems – ok, maybe a few odd looking computer screens, but nobody has to wear special gloves to operate anything… except that one guy on the games console, ok it’s not perfect but I liked it alright? sheesh, you people. It’s even got a dog track in it, and no, the dogs are not robots.

Talking time

So I saw this watch, G said he saw it first. The predictable battle broke out. We ended up both getting the same watch again. Still, these watches speak,like they really talk. At the moment they’re not saying much. But it’s only a matter of time before they become self aware and rebel against the master race. I for one am looking forward to our new punctual overlords.

Hello again

Oh yeah, we got a blog ain’t we? I guess I should post something.

A while back we went here, for when ‘the day’ comes:

of course we took a shit load of photos

Then, more recently, we went to the Scilly Isles as a surprise few days away to celebrate our Dad’s 60th birthday. We totally saw puffins and seals and shit and flew in a huge chopper and a tiny plane.

guess what? we took a crap load of photos here as well -you lucky people.

Expect a few more blog posts very soon about a certain annual party shrouded in secrecy.
