Ice Cream Van
That famous tune is off tinkering down the street. As Jason Manfords Dad would have you believe - that’s just to prove that there is no more ice cream left, right?
Well, in the real world it’s actually a warning to get out of the way of the drunken rambler. The irony of this story, and the picture in particular, is off the charts.
WATCH FOR CHILDREN reads the red cartoon typeface. It’s like a scene from Chitty Chitty bang bang, only this van isn’t designed for anything more fancy than going along and refrigerating.
“Mr Purdy”, the driver of the van, was a little bit drunk, it seems - and he took the liberty of running over a defenseless child. The one who loses the most in this scenario is that poor little kid, who I genuinely wish the best for; in the meantime I can’t help but share my incredulity for JUST HOW IRONIC this is. Haha!!
After being breathalysed, it was discovered that Mr Purdy’s blood alcohol content was 0.227% - almost three times over the legal limit for drivers.
In addition to the 32 flavours of ice cream in the van, two open bottles of whisky were found too.
Someone was playing the guitar and singing Wonderwall. It was nice, took me back to freshman year when Noel and the other Sophomores would play it all the time.
There was someone doing this just down the street from me in London.
For a second I thought we were in the same place.
I wish I was in London. I’m in Barcelona, Spain.
Don’t wish your life away! I’ve paid £000’s to chill in your place before!
Go and find the bar on the strip with the acrobats inside, or acknowledge the fact that you’re so close to the water!
You might have to forget that Arsenal took the win last night, but otherwise hoooraaay!!! I think you should go outside and take a picture of the first thing you disregard everyday - the gate or the curbside. Come back in (or stay out!) and write a story about it that’s completely fictional.
Or, y’know. Find some cool stuff and post it on Tumblr. Haha.

Even this.. even this picture!!
Sometimes you look at something and you make the best possible assumption you can - look, I bet it’s really sunny, ultra warm, and the sea’s only choppy because it’s about to round off and show up some perfect waves to surf.
Truth is it was probably freezing and the glow is rain that’s been shopped.
:(
Where does this come in terms of answering a serious question then? Yes to someone people, no to others - maybe to yourself?!
Amazing festival. Some really interesting acts and ideas. I like that it’s supposed to be cutting edge - I mean for 2009, sure - but to look at it today it’s not futuristic! Really good from an artistic point of view, though, and definitely interesting to compare what we think is -up-to-date between now and then.
It’s sponsored by a bank, which a rarity to see in the current climate, that’s for sure. They’re commiting to helpful banking and you cna’t really argue with something like this out there!
Do you have a favourite part? Am I totally wrong - not interesting at all?

With regards to Australia…
I was disheartened to see so many places in Brisbane that I recognised taken down under the torrent of brown water. An absolute crying shame, it has to be said.
Flights to Australia, more specifically: flights to Brisbane are now up and running again. The whole country’s been in turmoil with flooding in the North East and forest fires in the South West, but hopefully the disasters are just blips in the time-line of down unda.
You never stop to think that global warming could just start wiping out places that we love without a second thought. “Ice caps melting” is one thing - “Europe’s underwater” is another altogether. It’s impossible to relate to something so far away with which you have no ties, but things like this make it all the more real.
My heart goes out to them.
