Glastonbury



I love Glastonbury. What I love the most is that each of the 177,500 people who went had a completely unique experience. Even in a group of friends I'd be willing to bet no two festival experiences were the same. Anyway, my weekend was amazing. Great music, good company and for once good weather. Also a couple of random sightings - sort of to be expected at Glasto but still...

Identity crisis



This is from the same car park as the random bill board poster. This is the most unusual shaped cash machine I've come across!! (My thanks to Kim for modelling).

Typically you wait ages for a random sighting and then two come along at once...

Saw this billboard in a service station car park on the way back from Wolverhampton at Easter. It looked to be advertising some sort of drink but I have no idea why hedgehogs... Anyone?!

International Randomness

My thanks to my friend Colleen for this one...

Whilst in Canada recently a man was seen walking down the side of a highway pushing an office chair on which was sat a case of beer. According to Colleen there was no apparent destination for his wanderings so unfortunately the questions that immediately spring to mind with this story will remain unanswered. At least he had somewhere to sit when he got there.

Been a while

It's been a bit of dry patch for random sightings... Not sure what's going on in the world but I've noticed a distinct lack of randomness or maybe it's just me growing up... I hope not.

Anyway to the point...

Recently in the UK (as the more eagle eyed readers (if there are any) will have noticed) it snowed. A lot. Whilst walking, sliding, falling over on my way home from work I saw a bloke with a cycle helmet on carrying a unicycle. I could barely stand up on two feet and know that cycling on a normal bike was difficult. But a unicycle?! Really?!

Not so cunning marketing strategy volume 3

A while ago a man came to my front door selling laminated flyers for people to put in their windows asking people not to try and sell them things on their doorstep.

Not quite sure he got the irony...

Overheard gem


Whilst walking home from work last week I heard the following whilst walking past two girls stood outside a Burger King...

"Do they sell burgers?"
