and so once again i attempt to bring you any (and all) random items left out on the streets. please note that i did not claim that these were things of interest, look you see, as i could not possibly claim that such are on any universal level.
the invisible war against the plague still rages, of course. well, mostly, at the time of writing, at the least, to use more commas than i should. some believe that defeat is inevitable, whereas others seem comfortable that victory has been secured. in this respect, there is a slight increase in the number of people out and about, but not all that many of them are of a persuasion or disposition to casually discard all that many items.
it also remains that i am not going anywhere remotely near the number of places i would typically visit on my travels, for my travels are fairly and firmly limited to what is defined as "essential shopping trips". one has to eat, after all. but, good fortune sometimes smiles, and the car parks of the places where we, the people, may do some of this important commerce offer some items, every now and then.
yes, that is quite an interesting, almost storytelling array (or arrangement) of abandoned items, found or spotted if you will in a car park. no, true, exactly what has been left behind is not perhaps as clear as it could be, what with me opting to present such in Commodore 64 mode.
whilst i am not (too) confident that there is much in the way of interest, or wish, for any images to feature here which are not in Commodore 64 mode, in this instance it may well be that a regular, more conventional image would be better. and so, below, here is such.
quite a bit of a (potentially) alarming image, that. the juxtaposition of the wood near some rather badly damaged "mirror lens" sunglasses like what pimps and drug dealers wear implies some act of violence occurred. maybe someone broke one of the many unwritten laws of the criminal underworld, which prompts the suggestion that if they wrote then down then aspiring criminals could learn them and thus reduce admin on punishment for transgressions.
but this is, i suspect, an unlikely account of what might have happened. should some sort of miscreant justice been handed out here, then one would reasonably expect to see elements of blood, if not partial or entire dismembered limbs, reflecting that whoever did what they were not supposed to have done has been taught not to do such. overall, and i am no expert, the idea of someone coming along and cleaning up any damage inflicted on someone but not these bits makes little sense.
sadly, or alas, no, i did not spot the above. Spiros did. he said there was quite an interesting, strategic trail of these cans, which appeared to lead to a bush or similar such shrubbery type arrangement in a park. yes, a park well known for gentlemen congregating, at 2 or sometimes 3 in the morning, for reasons which they assure the constabulary are all related to concern for the welfare of badgers.
this is quite a new one on me. both myself and Spiros are very familiar with Ace lager, but i had not heard of Ace cider prior to him sending this picture on. my understanding is that them what made the Ace in a lager form ceased to do so, for they felt the "wrong" form of patron was being drawn to it. this was down to the proliferation of popularity experienced by learnings from the character 8 Ace, or Octavious Ace, out of The Viz.
despite a good friend of mine recently deciding that my new name was to be Cider, i must confess that i am not too familiar with the stuff. however i am game if not overtly keen to give this stuff a go. especially if, as was apparently the case with Ace lager, you can get 8 cans of it for £1.49.
it is a shame to see any sort of varying quality eyewear laid to waste, but then again if it was not done here then i suppose i'd not have much to write of. as for how and why this was left, really not sure. maybe for some reason someone doing "emergency" shopping had not enough space in their car for whatever they bought, but found they did if they rid themselves of these item. just why they had such in their car at the start is perhaps an even greater mystery. well, no, sunglasses is pretty straightforward.
anyway, or anyhow, yes, if i see anything else of interest (or just plain anything else) discarded on the streets, i shall try to remember to share them here. indeed, if Spiros does the same and sends me the images, certainly, i shall do similar. well, the same.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
