Day November 5, 2005

Whovel: a WHeeled shOVEL. Neat.

Wovel – Wovel Photos

Wovel Photos – bet that phrase will send corporate web proxies into paroxysms of denial ;)

Neat combo of wheel (movement and leverage) and shovel. Not sure though that you wouldn’t put your back out trying energetic flips, nor that having 10kg of snow flipped skywards is going to help the clearing effort.

As a suggested upgrade, why not have either a snowploug front end (just run along the path, clearing a route) or have a twist/elliptical pivot so that the shovel flicks to one side as its raised?

No royalties required for these design “improvements” :)

Alan Partridge does the famer’s market?

Yes indeed! Alan Partridge plays “Farmer Sharp” at Borough Market.

All of the staff on the stall were dressed in matching outfits. They played this with a very straight face and so I can’t decide whether they are ignorant of the likeness or supremely ironic.

Appetising: Squat and Gobble

How lovely. Walking in the West End last night I come across this delightfully-named eatery: Squat and Gobble. The crapcam was to hand to record the scene in Charlotte Street.

If I said ‘squat and gobble’ I don’t think that baked potatoes would be the first picture conjured…
