The winter of 2007/8 was very foggy. 
Foggier than Phileas Fogg in a fog factory. The Fogginess of Phileas Fogg is in fact a universal constant against which all fog is factored. The first photo shows a fog flowing at Fog Force 4 along the Thames. Following the first photo we have the phenomenon of freezing fog at Fog Factor 5! Feck, thats a lotta fog.

Fog
Pointless little wheeled bags
I don't know this man. However, I do know this man is annoying. Why? Because he has a stupid little wheeled bag. The wheel-to-bag application was first made to ease the carrying of a large suitcase full of duty free booze, this is perfectly reasonable, nobody wants to strain a shoulder. 
But now there are all these people with tiny bags with wheels. Why does it need wheels? Its clearly not heavy, a bag that size could be carried by a child. It isn't just the pointlessness that is annoying. Its the inefficiency too! Dragging your tiny bag behind you increases the floor space you occupy by approximately 50%, extremely inefficient in busy train stations where these annoying people perform their most annoying act; Upon encountering stairs they will come to a halt directly in front of the first step, forcing everyone behind to stop too, just so they can put their stupid handle down and pick the whole bag up (finally), then repeat the process in reverse when they have successfully negotiated the complicated stair-based obstacle. For some reason they can't do this while walking, its too complex for their tiny minds. I think they're probably the same people who come to a complete stop before stepping onto an escalator, triggering a pinstriped pile-up of business people.

World's smallest lighthouse?
Tiny lighthouse wins my award for most tiny lighthouse. I can only assume this lighthouse is manned by wombles, or possibly clangers. If you've seen a tiny lighthouse please send it to me. A picture I mean, not the actual lighthouse, unless its really really tiny and fits in a jiffy bag, then I could install it near my fridge to prevent wayward ships crashing into it and destroying the deliciousness within.

Speed Kills!
This sign earns bonus points for using enough blood and gore to deserve an 18 certificate. 17 year old drivers shouldn't be allowed to see this sign unless they have their parents in the car to supervise.

Humour
Here is my first post, and the first picture is about humour, which is a good start because everything I post here will hopefully be mildly amusing and should never be taken too seriously. Enjoy!
Quote: Mark Twain US humorist, novelist, short story author, & wit (1835 - 1910)
