Two More Reasons I Should Have My Camera At All Times

As I was walking around town doing all my errands today I saw two incidents that made me regret that I don't carry my camera always. The first was as I walked past The Bowler, a popular little bar. You may remember me talking about how they advertised some stupid school girl uniform party for ages and handed out heaps of ads to the point of irritation. Well, in an only fit bout of irony, the big billboard they had up that was also advertising their stupid party was stolen. They used it as a publicity stunt, pleading for it to be given back, etc. Well, I walked past today and they were nailing barbed wire to the posts that lead up to this billboard. I couldn't help it... I burst out laughing. One guy was clearly quite serious about marking his territory and the younger bit his lip to keep from laughing along with me. It's a stupid poster people! Some punk kid has it hanging in his or her flat and it's doing more advertising from there than your stupid street sign. Barbed wire? Seriously?

The second joyously wonderful moment was walking back from the grocery store. There was a man in a diving suit in the Leith. Seriously. A grown man diving was looking for stuff under the water. Granted, it was probably some sort of clean up measure, but it was clearly done unprofessionally because the guy was shouting random directions to his friends above him, "Taut, I said taut!!" Hahahahaha. If that isn't enough to make you laugh, remember that it's winter here. Crowds of people lined up to watch during their lunch breaks. It was great. This is why I should always, always have my camera on me. Sorry there aren't any pictorials for you guys.
