Stuff Report – 14 July 2010
Things to do later, so I might not get a chance to do a report then, so I’m doing it now. Your picture of the day was captured by my discreet spy-camera[1] in a secret location[2]. It reveals the presence … Continue reading
Stoned chips?
I spotted this in Eldon Square today. For the benefit of those not familiar with Newcastle’s shopping centre, it helps to know that one of the malls is called High Friars. This is a reference to one of the friaries … Continue reading
Weight and Stuff Report – 7 May 2010
Weight: 230.4 pounds (16 stone 6.4 pounds, 104.5 kg)Shock, horror, etc, up again today. Today’s picture is something I spotted while crossing the Swing Bridge earlier this week. Apparently somebody really, really, really likes the Port of Tyne Authority. Can’t say … Continue reading
Security!
Here’s another thing that’s been bothering me. It’s this sign in a small branch of Boots: It’s the sort of thing that’s common enough on fire exits and other doors not in general use, but this is a bit odd. … Continue reading
Weight and Stuff Report – 31 March 2010
Weight: 225.8 pounds (16 stone 1.8 pounds, 102.4 kg)No change today, which isn’t too bad, all things[1] considered. Today’s picture is one I caught in Saltwell Park a while ago, and it’s been worrying me ever since: So why does Saltwell … Continue reading

Weight: 227.6 pounds (16 stone 3.6 pounds, 103.2 kg)Ooopsie. Up again today, quite shocking. Today’s picture is of another Newcastle landmark: The Cooperage has been open as a pub in a very old building for many years, but was forced to … Continue reading
Weight and Stuff Report – 17 March 2010
Weight: 227.6 pounds (16 stone 3.6 pounds, 103.2 kg)Up just a teeny bit today. Never mind, etc. I went for a walk with the Canon 5D Mk II and the 50mm f/1.8 lens at lunchtime. I got some interesting pictures which … Continue reading
Sheeps!
Yes, it’s another one from last summer. One of the many preserved buildings at what is now (and oddly) called St Fagans: National History Museum[1] is an old tollgate and house, which has this sign on the side: It was … Continue reading
Weight and Stuff Report – 22 February 2010
Weight: 226.8 pounds (16 stone 2.8 pounds, 102.9 kg)Hmmm. A small drop today. Last night’s snow stopped falling not long after I posted that picture, and by this morning it was melting in places. Except for the places where it had refrozen … Continue reading
Weight and Stuff Report – 3 February 2010
Weight: 228.8 pounds (16 stone 4.8 pounds, 103.8 kg)Hmmm. Up a bit today, insert standard remarks about random fluctuations. I had a slight change of routine today – a visit to Leeds. Quite apart from having a conventional sandwich rather than … Continue reading
