Off yer trolley

Here's some pictures of abandoned shopping trolly's which I found whilst on walkabout yesterday.

Victoria Square (Hull)

I think the Pidgeon on the bench is a nice little touch in this photo. The other image shows the waste of money big TV screen in the same square.

On the dog pregnancy front, Mia appears to have chosen underneath my bed to have her pups, i'll have to come up with a plan to get her out and into the nice dog basket/bed which was bought for her. I'll not be the one kept up all night with a commotion and a stink.

Down the river

Todays picture is a view down the river Humber, you can see one of the Humber bridge towers in the distance.

Comedian @ Work

Just saw this and thought it was hilarious and so true!

Characters At Work

Sid
When skinny Sidney arrives at work, the first thing he does is put his knackered Cub-90 into the bike sheds, and then enters the factory hoping that he can get away with doing as little as possible for the rest of the day, and so is the daily cycle of this geezer, also known for such classic phrases as "tough sh!t fella" and shouting f##k off to people.

Slipper-1
So named because some of the men in the factory really want to "slip her one", this girl loves to bend over a pallet of stacked boxes and present her rear to any willing passer-by. She works on the packing line and is good friends with her colleages Dolph Chingrun and It's Raining Men Man.

It's Raining Men Man
This guy is so gay it hurts, and the thing is, he does not realise it. Seen wearing an array of brightly coloured tank tops and assorted frilly trousers, opting for side-burns and a hairy chest this is one camp dude. He works on the packing line with Slipper-1, but is prone to dissapearing for weeks at a time, we wonder were he goes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nobby No Neck
I think Nobby is the chief of fitters, damn straight, with his rubbery mask like face and the fact that he has litterally no neck, this guy is a legend, I give him a score of 10 out of 10 on these merits alone. Often seen darting through the corridors near our lab at fast speeds due to his low center of gravity, this neckless wonder should run for prime minister, he'd get my vote.

Arsεholε Mouth
This guy's wrinkled pucker actually looks like a genuine άrsεholε. He's getting on a bit in years and I don't actually know what his job is, he might fix machines or something. There's not much else I can say without potentially upsetting people, but his name says it all.

Dolph Chingrun
Poor dozy Dolph, it seems he has lost his way in life. His main priority is to try and keep awake long enough to be useful, he is often seen asleep high atop the factory machinery, were not sure how he gets into these hard to reach places but we think it may be due to his sleep walking.

Mario
This guy is the man to go to for factory gossip, always friendly and ever ready for a rant about the state of the company, he's often seen driving the forklift trucks about the warehouse. He loves to hear a joke and loves to tell em, but when it comes to break times he drops everything in a hurry to get to the smoke room.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rupert
We don't like this guy, he can usually be seen doing two things, either sitting in a meeting or kissing a superiors άrsε. He's a complete moron, so much so, he even dared to name his son Rupert (the poor little bugger). He is often seen walking around the factory with his clipboard delegating his minor tasks to people on the factory floor.

Shovel Paws
This guy has huge hands, no sh!t, his mitts are huge. Every "run of the mill" task is vertually impossible for this guy from typing, answering the phone and knocking on doors, to fixing a plug, cooking and buying a pair of gloves. What he wants most in this world is to hold someone, but the last three times he tried that he was convicted of manslaughter, tragic really. Nobody actually knows what his role is within the company, but he is occasional seen loading 1 Ton pallets onto the back of lorries with his bare hands.

Slug
This ones not hard to find, you just have to look for the remains of his slimy trail on the warehouse floor, follow it and sweet bejesus, there he is leaving his mark on the world. Half man, half machine, this cleaner drives around all day keeping standards of cleanliness at their very peak, what a guy.

Here are some characters based on actual people from work, I spent about an hour drawing these on paint for a website which me and some ex colleagues had, as a kind of piss take on our work place. Just for laughs really.
