Some photo's of the London Flora Marathon 2008 from some weeks past. This one has been photoshopped slightly in that I cut and pasted the forward riders front portion and did a Gaussian blur on the background to emphasise the depth of field.

You buy a cokin filter thingy-doo-da with a tobacco graduated filter. What's one to do? Try to channel the CSI/Bruckheimer look. That's what. OK so its not Miami but...

My first composite picture. Woo.

"Glastonbury Festival organisers have been heavily criticised ever since Jay-Z was announced as one of the main headliners at this year's event.

Disgruntled fans and the likes of Noel Gallagher have all blamed the hip-hop star for poor ticket sales after the three-day event failed to sell out." - Is rap really a festival flop? (BBC site)

Probably utter bollocks - its probably something to do with the other two headliners (Kings of Leon and The Verve) not really setting imaginations alight and maybe a large number of people just getting tired of the mud. It really was quite bad last year compared with previous - it never really stopped. Though I bet it will be glorious this year. Me I'm not going as no one I know wants (or is able) to go. Otherwise I would. Having mostly crap headliners would be an excuse to go explore properly.

Trains are fucked

Got up at 8am, on a saturday to go to a place called frimley. Then the signals broke at waterloo. Now at clapham with the vague hope we can get a train. It doth not look good.

Ah - the red arrows

... Fly along the thames. That'll explain it then.

WTF!

Decided to go for a wonder and find everyone is either headed to or on the millennium bridge.
