Look Up. Pt.1

Wandering around London, as is my wont, and being mostly empty of brain, I often find myself looking up and thinking "What the hell is that doing up there?" (remember the beaver weathervane)?

So anyhoo …
I walk past this place an awful lot (not that I spend too much time cruising for little boys in tutus), but until this morning I had never noticed the gold monopedal woman trying to jump off the top.

Consequently, this will be the first in an occasional series of photographs of some of the odder things stuck high up on London's buildings.
And believe me, there are some extremely odd things up there.

Oh, she's lovely. This is a cool post idea--if my town had buildings more than 2 stories, I'd join in. But here, there's no reason to look up.

Oh be careful, you could end up involved with a lot of mentally unstable people thanking you for preventing their suicide.

Oh heck. Now you're going to get loads of "cruising for little boys in tutus" searches and will be helping the police with their enquiries in the style of Pete Townsend.

Was Paul Mc Cartney there, taking photos too.

The sky is nice, Robyn.

Hi, Ellie, and welcome. I'd far rather people jumped off buildings than jumped in front of my stupid train. Every week we get them.
In case you didn't know, I commute seven hours a day and jumpers are a particular bugbear.

Betty: Either that or I'll be dancing in Billy Elliot next year.

MB: hee hee! First monoped joke of the day.

Ooh good idea, maybe i should do Cheltenham too? Careful how you read that. Steady.

Monopedal. Lovely word. Lovely lady. Great photo Dive with brilliant blue sky.

Yes, it's lovely here today. Spring is springing back again after our little cold snap.

And "Lynn Does Cheltenham" would make a wonderful sequel to the old classic "Debbie Does Dallas" (hee hee … sorry).

That's great. I have a photo of Fluff in front of that theatre. Saturday Night Fever was playing.

I was searching for little boys in tutus and I found yer site. I must say I'm disappointed.

That's a cool idea for a post series, Dive!

PS Your name for the kitten has been approved by gayman housemate. Well done.

I love the word 'monopedal' too. Why didn't Pete and Dud incorporate it into the 'One Legged Tarzan' sketch?

dive said...

Woohoo! Groover, meet Groover!
Excellent!

Pea: Thank you for reminding me of Pete and Dud's sketch. I am now Mister Grinny.
