    Spotted in Farringdon: Trees in Need of Homes #SaveTheTrees

    They brought London’s homes and offices festive cheer and a pine fresh scent over Christmas.

    But then, come the 8th January, this happens.

    Poor unwanted trees littering the city streets.

    There must be a better future for these trees.

    There must be more to their life than lying alongside an empty shopping trolley on the pavement in Farringdon.

    There must be a way to get these trees off the streets.

    Or at the very least, there must be a poster campaign opportunity with accompanying hashtag.

  • Back to Work Day 2014 Currently has Severe Delays

    Back to Work Day 2014 Currently has Severe Delays

    This morning the entire mass of everyone ever in the world descended on the London transport system for the Annual Back to Work After Christmas and the New Year Day 2014.

    Apparently around the UK, this day is also known as “Blue Monday”.

    But if you live in London you’ll be familiar with it as “the day everything always breaks all at once.”

    For those heading towards the tube, the morning looked a bit like this:

    on the tube

    And for those on the buses, well – our morning looked more like this:

    on the bus

    And thus the New Year properly began, and it was back to business as usual in London.

    However, ALL IS NOT LOST.

    You don’t have to let Blue Monday win. We could all follow the example of this man, who was spotted capitalising on the unusually high amount of commuters on the streets by holding a placard with his requirements on it, and attempting to find a girlfriend.

    Bravo that man.

    So if you know a brunette who fits the bill, be sure to put her in touch with Gerald. Spread a little cheer.

    Welcome back to work, everyone. See you in the gym tonight?

  • A Very Special Happy New Year Message…

    A Very Special Happy New Year Message…

    …from this bloke, spotted casually spreading cheer on the streets of London this morning.

    Be sure to have a good night, wherever you end up.

    Whether that’s elbowing your way along the Thames, throwing up on the streets of Shoreditch or – more likely – riding around on the Jubilee line (for free, as of 11:45pm) dressed as a toilet.
