Unrelated photos

I tend not to write to any great extent over holidays, through a combination of being online a significantly reduced amount and not really being bothered. But instead, here are a few blurry photographs of no real connection to each other, other than that I took them in the last couple of days.

Look at the size of this tree. It's got roughly a full mile of lights around it.



I don't know about you, but I have never liked or even been able to comprehend the appeal of blue cheese, and this (taken in a local pasta shop) is a prime example of why. "We left this one out for twelve years by accident - what do we do?" "Oh, just stick a label on it - we'll try and sell it anyway."



And we were in a shop today that sold all sorts of... curiosities that I'd never seen before and never will again, such as underwear for squirrels. This set of fridge magnets shows some office warning signs in that style that will now always remind me of Portal, especially in how surreal they rapidly get - I'm not sure what the ones about shouting into a phone while your head is on fire are meant to represent.



Some things, however, require no further comment.



I still do not know who sent me the picture of the Digestives.

That little fellow is the most stupid and most accident prone little fellow there ever was. And I love how the computer is seemingly questioning the fact that it's on fire.

I also provide a solemn oath that I did not send you a picture of digestives.

However, just to keep up the trend (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jXNyvNsF2To/TGAD6zPf-YI/AAAAAAAADM8/BLpE9Jt31p8/s1600/mcvities%2520original%2520digestives%2520large.jpg)...

In order - left to right, top to bottom:

1. Don't glue your foot to the water cooler.
2. Don't clap near a waste basket or a flying TV will try to kill you.
3. Your desk can not hold you hostage. If it says "Hands up!" you should not comply.
4. If someone sets a sentient computer on fire, let it burn.
5. Don't conduct presentations alongside psychopaths with sticks.
6. Electric phones will set your hair on fire.
7. Do not attempt window repair without specialized equipment, i.e., scaffolding.
8. Menacing your computer will not get the last six hours of work back. Save next time.
9. Check your facts before accusing the stapler.
10. Scissors are not a suitable substitute for a volleyball.
11. Falling asleep at your desk - frowned upon and bad for your posture, but not dangerous...
12. ...okay, we lied.

I never used to like blue cheese but now I really like it. Much like brussel sprouts, I have learned to love them. Have you had blue cheese as a sauce? or is the thought of it rather on how it looks rather than the taste?
