Cool shit round up

Posted by sh1mmer on Feb 27, 2006 in General |

Finally before I hit the hay tonight a little roundup a cool shit that is new or has been hanging around.

In the Bush Market I spotted this neato toy. A pseudo laptop with a fake ‘designed for Windows XP’ hologram sticker to add authenticity. The cost? A mere £7.99. Bargain.

Next up… proof that the people in Hamley’s toy store have a sense of humour; Those big kids! As the sign notes ‘Guitar sold separately’.

Alien figurine playing an electric guitar. Thanks Hamleys, you made me laugh out loud!

Again while I was out around and about Oxford/Picadilly Circuses, Soho and Carnaby Street, I saw this. Spunky! The only thing I can say? I reckon whoever made this brand had balls.

Finally for this round up, the other half and I were in Acton to look at a potential place to live. Walking up a random street we saw this:

Green Goddess

For those of you who don’t know this is an army fire truck, called a Green Goddess. Most recently employed for civvies during the strikes over pay or hours, or some stuff like that. What the hell one was doing in a residential street in Acton I have no idea. Welcome to London!

That’s your lot of cool shit for this time. More later.
