living in a showroom wardrobe

In 2016 i intend to spend a week living in a department store showroom wardrobe. sleeping over night inside it and in the  day wandering the aisles. i’ll take all my provisions with me, and large empty bottle to wee in (although there is a toilet in the store) and possibly a book by Alan Titchmarsh. I’m hoping it will provide me with an insight into the human condition. I won’t disclose which store because i don’t want to be found out.

but i might send a tweet. or document it.

message for the plumber

Today a plumber came round to fix a leaking toilet.

Before He arrived i left him a short message just behind the U-bend & sewage outflow pipe.

he told me his name was Dave. I had no reason to doubt him.

This is Dave, looking lovely,  & finding the message and then repairing the Sewage Outlet.

study of a bored cashier. (acrylic on cleaning spray bottle)

i bought a angle grinder and some cleaning spray.
i painted the bored cashier on the spray and put it back in the store.

I wish i could call John Barnes 

Looks like the business Man sat in front of me on the 16.30 from Bristol temple Meads, recently had a phone call with John Barnes!

(and some man called Ben & another called Tom…now I don’t want to belittle Tom or Bens accomplishments*..but did Ben or Tom ever manage Celtic or score a wonder goal against Brazil in 1984..NO They f’ing didn’t ..so I’m not interested in them at all.)

I’m interested in John Barnes.

*the internet says that a Tom Alexander used to own EE mobile phone company and a ben Tompkins runs a techno investment firm.
