Another top class bit of parking. Okay, so it doesn’t appear to actually say “No parking”, but it’s not hard to imagine what the intent was.

I haven’t seen the Get Smart movie yet, but I’m quite amused by these telephone box adverts for it.

In Rippon Street, they’re apparently very proud of that beautification award that they almost won, twenty years ago.

They’ve probably given up trying to compete with dickheads with spray cans tagging everything in sight.

My street has “Thornbury village” signs that pretend we’re some sort of Cornish village with a lovely pub and no maladroit drivers. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Yips, just almost, a long time ago. Weird!
Oh, gosh, funny pics (though, the first one, well…)

Even funnier that we don’t actually have phone boxes because Telstra can’t be bothered maintaining them! We have phone ’stands’ with roofs over them. They’ve dressed up our public phones to look like real phone boxes.

Hmm, there’s phone boxes around my neck of the woods Phil. They may not have doors or glass anymore, but they are otherwise fully enclosed.

Ha! That Rippon St sign makes me chuckle…
