Yeah it turns out going there is actually faster, I’d be down if you wanted to meet up and get lunch or something

I apologise for the poor quality of this (it’s a live photo converted to a video) but I need to share this very polite puppy I saw on the tube last night

Played some rhythm games for the first time today and I wasn’t *completely* awful — just a little awful???

I have also now learned that when I’m browsing a list full of Japanese song and artist names that I can’t read, then looking for Toby Fox bangers is usually a safe bet

Here are some random photos I’ve taken recently
The exterior of a nice old-fashioned ornate building at night, which is somewhat sullied by the “Lad Bible Group” branding in each window The sign above a lift in a train station says: “Way out to Home Office; Lift to platform 1, 2, 5 and 6” A winter-themed banner reads: “Free Event — Special Guest: Father Christmas in his Grotto with a free gift for all children. (Whilst stocks last only 1 per child)” A tiny wooden shelf on a wall, labelled “Iranian Polished Pistachios. 50g: £4.25, 100g: £8.50. The highest grade!” The shelf has nothing on it, just a mark where it seems like a round object was previously attached

Is the left machine broken or is it actually a special photo booth that stretches your pictures beyond recognition for fun? We may never know
Two “Photo-Me” automated photo booths right next to each other. Both have a screen displaying the same advert with a stock photo and “42% Faster!”, but the one on the left is rendering it rotated 90 degrees and at the wrong aspect ratio

This betting shop has an entire circular LED sign just to display animated versions of their logo. It’s like the evil version of one of those European pharmacy signs

I’ve been such a naughty boy today
An iZettle payment terminal with a yellow label stuck across the screen reading “No Amex please” Screenshot of the notification where I paid £3.90 with my Amex at “The Scoop Shop”

I’m on a train from Manchester to Cambridge so it’s time for everyone’s favourite post format

Here are some random photos I’ve taken recently
Two pigeons are commiserating on one of the orange metal tables outside a restaurant A blue sign (in the standard UK road sign style) mounted high up on a post says “Coronavirus — Keep your distance”, with a symbolic illustration of two pedestrians two metres apart The destination display screen on the side of a Bee Network bus says “We Will Remember”, flanked by two pixelated monochrome poppy icons. Larger text on the bus livery above the display says “Funded by UK Government” Graffiti above some vents on the side of a building reads: “No corps, no cops, only bottoms + tops”

Accidental Goatse spotted in Manchester today
A sign on a door saying that “Bridgewater Security protect this property”. The company’s name is in a wide stretched oval that’s being held by two hands in a Goatse-like fashion

Reluctantly flipping myself back from “Released” to “Normal” as Monday approaches
a small compartment in a train’s doorframe covered by plexiglass. it contains a red lever that’s set to “Normal”, and an arrow indicates that you can rotate it clockwise to change to “Released”

Went outside and saw this cool rainbow
a dreary sky full of grey clouds above Glasgow, but there’s a rainbow arching through the middle a closer look at the rainbow. it’s casting a gay little glow on the foliage at the bottom of the photo

Finally, a fridge with sections for all three genders
a wide fridge in a takeaway with three labelled glass doors. door 1 is titled “Soft drinks” and has cans of Pepsi, Coke, Diet Coke and Irn-Bru, and large bottles of Coke at the bottom. door 2 is titled “Water” and has cans of Mirinda, Fanta, Sprite and 7up, small Fruit Shoot drinks, and large bottles of Pepsi at the bottom. door 3 is titled “Impulse soft drinks” and has cans of other Fanta flavours, Rubicon, Pepsi Max and a generic energy drink, bottles of Volvic water, and large bottles of 7up and Irn-Bru.

Here are some random photos I’ve taken recently
A pair of weather-worn signs next to a busy road has a faded one-way arrow pointing left, and slightly damaged text reading “One wa” On a moody evening, two matching shiny black shoes in surprisingly good condition have been abandoned on top of a bin on Glasgow’s Buchanan Street A takeaway Greggs coffee cup and what appears to be some kind of pink Moogle plushie have been left on top of a metal cabinet on the side of the street, covering up what I think is a small solar panel A big fluffy snow dog is being walked down the street next to some temporary construction barriers

Crossing streets in Glasgow city centre feels like you’re continually having to solve the worst Professor Layton puzzles

“If one side has a broken green light and the other side has a broken red light, and no lights are on, is it safe to cross?”
A set of confusingly laid out traffic signals where one amber light is missing and one pedestrian red light is missing, both with cables just poking out of the holes A different set of signals at the same junction which also has its amber light just… missing

Here are some random photos I’ve taken recently
A metal thing installed into a pavement that sort of looks like the base of a utility cabinet. A mass of coloured wires is poking out of it, some zip-tied together, but they’ve all just been cut My hand holding up a McDonald’s paper bag. The receipt stuck to the side lists the contents of the order: “No Bag” and “Apple Pie” The side of a wooden planter has a warning plaque that reads “Please use this pop-up mobility hub at your own risk.” An empty plastic cup of pakora sauce has been discarded on the pavement next to a bike share stop, and streaks of the concerningly bright pink sauce are splattered nearby

not sure how I feel about the form factor of Nintendo’s latest console, but at least it’s something different
a bus that says “Switch 3” on the side in a gaudy style reminiscent of 2000s futuristic design

Woof :)
the word "No" in a gaudy yellow gradient with a gaudy emboss effect on top of a gaudy blurple gradient

You can get all of life’s essentials at Glasgow’s fine local businesses
On display in a shop window are an iMac from 2009 for £100, another iMac from 2015 for £240 and a stack of Labubus with a sign that says “Labubu Have A Seat Monsters; 3 Years Old Above Must Have For December; Price: £6”

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when the rental bike scheme in your city shuts down (after two years of steadily degrading service while the bikes and the app both fall into disrepair)…

I wonder if they’ll actually cancel my monthly sub (or refund me for the 16 days left). I have my doubts
screenshot of the Nextbike app showing a map of Glasgow. all the bikes and stations have disappeared screenshot of the Wallet tab showing that I still have 16 days left of a monthly subscription to Nextbike Glasgow screenshot of the “Inbox” with various automatic messages: one says they’re missing a bike and asks me where I returned it, one says they’re ending the service on 31 October, the others are warnings that I’ve been renting a bike for too long

judging the Halloween costumes I see around Glasgow tonight. “bag of rubbish” isn’t the most inventive idea, but I really have to applaud the execution here — very realistic. 9/10
it’s just a bag of rubbish on the side of the street

Decisions were made at M&S and the Big Tesco this evening
A bottle of chocolate orange milkshake has been abandoned with the pasta ready meals, by the chicken & bacon pasta bakes A pack of 15 eggs has been abandoned next to the paper towels. The packaging is clear plastic so you can see that one of the eggs is missing A Tesco cottage pie has been abandoned in a display of the Heinz x Monster Munch pickled onion-flavoured mayonnaise A bottle of Carex hand wash has been abandoned on the rim of a cardboard display of Lindt Choco Wafers

me at the start of the convention vs. me at the end of the convention
a frame from a Nintendo announcement video that compares two close-up shots of the same dopey-looking Animal Crossing player character’s face; one is higher-resolution on Switch 2, one is pixelated on Switch 1

Here are some random photos I’ve taken recently
Nando’s has a transparent balloon that says “Nando’s SE2 4th Birthday” on the side, which has smaller red and black balloons inside it and tied to the bottom A Starbucks is being refurbished and has a sign saying “Coffee House uplift in progress”. Someone has scribbled out the word “uplift” and written “fuck off” above it A sad-looking Belgian bun has been abandoned face up on the pavement next to a wet street on a rainy day A disembodied fursuit head is perched on a bollard on a street corner, staring into my soul with a goofy expression
