Signs, Garbage Bins and Incessant Photography

Last summer, I had gone to England with my friends: TPF, Harry, Micky and Marry for a umm..lets call it a holiday for about 5 days and I absolutely loved it. Thank god for the creation of the digital camera because I have the unhealthy habit of taking the weirdest pictures like funny signs or garbage boxes. I have no idea why, but I'm just obsessed with them. My incessant photography did get on everybody's nerves and I have nobody apart from myself and TPF to appreciate these pictures. Since I have a blog, I might as well post them here:

Alright, in the picture below I'm not really sure what this sign means, but it sure is weird and it was just posted on the window of a big music shop. Isn't it cool?

This one's plain funny, I'm not even bothering to explain this:

I would have thought they would have named something bigger like a street, boulevard or a square after such a great and important man but a lane was something I just didn't expect.

I'm obsessed with these, no idea why actually (the weird thing is that they're all from the same town). They're colourful and have messages written on them. Its also very embarrassing to stop on the street and take pictures of garbage bins. People around you keep looking at you as if you were doing something scandalous. So I hope the people reading this post appreciate the effort that it took me to actually take these pictures.

Well, if they actually told us where the ticket office was, instead of telling us where it wasn't, it would have been a bit more useful and then right above this sign they post the next one. The national express people really need to win the prize for making the funniest signs:

Is this some sort of a weird joke that nobody but my pervy mind gets? Seriously, it was a name of a chapel...What was the perv who named this chapel thinking?

The sign on the Trackball machine was hilarious. It sounds as if it was written for me! I should put something like that in front of Quincy (my computer), to remind me to keep my cool when he decides not to work or just be slow for no reason at all.

And then there are signs like these that are supposed to be serious but make me laugh for absolutely no reason at all. I like the idea of the responsible adult doing the accompanying. It definitely wouldn't be me. BTW, I also love the Post Script message about the bees that the sign gives.

The little red writing that you cant read in the picture actually says: 'In Emergency Phone - '. Now when I'm dying of electrocution, I'm definitely going to take my phone out and start reading the number and calling them up and telling them that I'm dying.

Just when you have some hope in the world, you see signs like these randomly put up on a watch shop of all the places and wonder what they actually mean.

Now let me leave you all with a close-up of an albino pigeon, Dorothy, who was kind enough to pose for this beautiful award winning photograph and give me all the rights to this image:

And there is the one of a rainbow, which is not funny at all but just pretty. I love rainbows, you never got to see them in Bombay where I grew up for some reason, so I'm extra fond of them:

This is the last one I promise, it is a photograph of Lyra's bench in the Oxford botanical gardens. Hopefully at least some of you will know what I'm talking about.

PS: I have another amazing pictue of a fossilized band-aid but for some reason I cant upload it onto this post. Anyways its not hard to imagine what a fossilized band-aid looks like. Ah, the things one can find if one just looks carefully around.
