March 2005, Knightsbridge, London. If you’re going to make an understatement, nothing quite like making it in neon.

Traces of Nuts?

This on a prescription for sleeping pills. I think that with sleeping pills you’re kind of hoping that they will cause at least a certain amount of drowsiness otherwise they may as well be called ‘Nothing’ pills. The pharmacist didn’t find this amusing in the least. “Oh, it’s just the law“, she says. “Yes, I realise that, but it’s funny“, says I…
Oh well.

Watering Kiss Mint

It’s kinda de rigeur to make fun of the Japanese predilection for making up brand names that are odd or amusing to English eyes, but sometimes it can be poetically cute. My friend Annie bought me back this packet of gum from Tokyo.
If you have a hankering to try Watering Kiss Mint you can buy it from Giant Robot Store in four flavours: Lemon, Peach, Apple and ‘Clear’ (interesting).

Penguin Burger? Anyone?

Comments Off on Penguin Burger? Anyone?
I’m inclined to refrain from comment, but just to reassure all you penguin lovers out there, there is no penguin slaughter involved.
Snapped in the seaside town of Penguin, Tasmania, where all penguin-o-philes should probably go, if only to marvel at the 12 foot ferro-concrete penguin that graces the town park.

There was no explanation for what might be causing the loud noises. I didn’t hear any when I was there.
