Cos Bristol....

https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/my...

The video in the article shows it in action.

That probably took ages to make....but I do wonder....why ?

How very odd but cool.

Banksy?

Could have guessed that was Brizzle without any context tbh. There's something in the water....



(Something else in the long conical cigarettes popular down there too )

Within the article was a link to this story:

Bit of a non story really, but the bus company want to discipline him? Really? What is the world coming to?!

Standard Bristol then... when I lived and grew up around there you could enjoy such socio-cultural highlights as "half naked running man", "tramps corner", and "lamp post dancing man" all famous local legends.

Great city, but genuinely full of wierdos!

Bizarre!

We have some weird stuff around here too. Someone has taken to adorning a roundabout near Reading, which we occasionally pass by. Here are a few examples:-

The latest effort.



A previous Google pin.



And some legs in a lavatory.



I quite like them. Harmless, and brightens people's day. We've also had a spate of the yellow direction indicators at roundabouts being turned into Minions. No photos, I'm afraid.

Looks like something that Colin Furze would knock together.

Also ferret man. Although I did hear someone stole his ferret

My middle son is down there, I wouldn't put it past him.

Keeping his head warm - why else???

It also features a quote from Bristol given a human form: a woman called "Artemis Bear".

Article said:

Artemis Bear got a close look and said it was a ‘perfect miniature wooden house’.

The 39-year-old was sitting outside enjoying the warm evening when she also witnessed the scene on Monday evening.

“This was quite an incredible sight,” she said.

“My partner and I were sat on the bench outside our house near St Werburghs City Farm and they turned to me saying 'did you see that?'

I think it's on the Henley Road as you come out of Caversham Park Village (by the Marina). If that makes sense..

* Normal for Bristol

Ah yes, Michael Shedworth. He has a linkedin profile and quite a few Youtube videos of him wearing his light up musical fire shed.

Yes, it's the Playhatch / Sonning Roundabout on the A4155 Henley Road. Someone also fitted a post box above the centre span of Sonning Bridge too, and followed that up with a door on one of the bridge pillars, complete with floating doormat.
