Amazing blog showing the latest pictures from the streets of Tehran.

There's a link in my friends box to the right.

Prawn Biscuits.

I've posted before about the visual delights of Japanese snack, and how they are often a massive let down when you eventually taste them.
Never has this been more true than these prawn biscuits, given to me by a supplier.



Amazing packaging.

Tasted like sucking off a whale.

Here's your key to the rear entrance.

Spotted this lovely little venue on my way home last night.

Book Shop Death

I spotted these blue plaque posters a while ago on Charring Cross road.
The plight of the independant book shop has been well documented, with many closing due to too stiff competition from the internet and big retailer discounts.
I know I'm guilty of shopping online and going for two for three discounts rather than patronising small specialist bookshops.
Visiting a shop crammed full of unusual and hard to find books, breathing in that smell of old paper; it's a unique expierience.
It would be a real shame to loose them all.
But then when you buy a lot of books that bit of discount does make a difference.
Ho hum.

V & gAy

Admitedly the effect is enhanced by my oh so subtle framing.

My Little Phoney

There is a huge community of My Little Pony customisers out there on the interweb.
Let's just say the end results are varied in levels of achievement, but the best I've found come from Mari Kasurinen, whose ponies are well achieved and handeled with a whit and humor many of the others miss.

There is a brilliant Frida Khalo that you cannot miss out on, check it:
