Smart Fortwo
Originally uploaded by escaped.monkey

I bought a Kinder Surpise along with some cans of beer, and got a miniature Smart Car inside it. I wanted a toy, not an advertisement. Thanks for ruining my attempt to recapture my childhood, Kinder Surprise.

What a cack photographer I used to be.

My Left Hand

All effete and porcelain. I've never done a day's work in my life.

Highgate
Originally uploaded by escaped.monkey

These new tube trains are far too blurry to ride on. Only last night I sat on what I thought was a seat, when a yelp came from behind me.

"Excuse me!" cried a snooty lady, "you're sitting on me!"

"I am ever so sorry," I replied, reclining gently, "but you're so blurry I thought you were a seat." I farted as I slid down her leg, her thigh acting as a sort of castor rail for my buttocks.

This man is super serious and shouting into his phone.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE STOCK IS UP I SAID IT SHOULD BE DOWN, CHECK AGAIN, IT IS DOWN? YOU SAID IT WAS UP THE FIRST TIME YOU'RE CONFUSING ME."

Metropolitan Line
Originally uploaded by escaped.monkey

It fills me with satisfaction, looking across the platform to see commuters crowd onto a busy westbound Metropolitan line train. Ol' eastbound is mostly empty, and cool n' breezy.

Pikmin

These used to belong to an entire set of Pikmin, but gradually they've all disappeared. This red one is the last one I've got. If he leaves, I'll have nothing.

If you lean in close it's like you're kissing the queen right on the chin. Mmmmlulululu.

Record Face

These cool dudes came with some game that was sent to the office. I've forgotten what they're called, but if you look closely this one has a record for a face.

A record!

Mind the Gap
Originally uploaded by escaped.monkey

This sign irritates me, why is 'gap' preceded by the definite article while platform and train are not? It should say 'Mind gap between train and platform', or 'Mind the gap between the train and the platform'.

IS THIS THE SERVICE I PAY £109 A MONTH FOR. KEN LIVINGSTON.

Contemplation
Originally uploaded by escaped.monkey

He so rarely gets a chance to get off my keyring, and when he does he just sits there, on my Squarepusher CD, staring. Contemplating?

The Queen
Originally uploaded by escaped.monkey

Hello Queen, I've just taken one photo for every day of 2007 - what do you have to say about that?

"Well done Steve, one thinks one would very much like to kiss you."

OH QUEEN I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT GET AWAY FROM ME URGH.

Back in Gatwick, England, Great Britain, United Kingdom. That's the order it goes in. United Kingdom is Great Britain plus Northern Ireland. Here's some luggage trolleys.

DoF

Working with my Macbook meant I underexposed all my images. Turns out I was looking at the screen at the wrong angle. What a bloody waste of £600.

Jessie

Jessie is a tiny dog, and like other dogs, she was unaware that it was a new year. Look at her, lounging around as if it was 2007, when actually it's 2008. Get a grip, Jess.
