Is this some refreshing honesty from a market stall or is the casual passer by being subtly manipulated by some cunning reverse psychology here? I only ask because I have no idea what is in these baskets but I know that for a pound I want one.

Even though I haven’t seen this place since the late 90′s the second I saw this picture I knew exactly where it was having spent many a wasted hour staring at the assortment of random objects littered throughout it. This garden sits on Eel Pie Island down in Twickenham and proved a point of pilgrimage for stoned students looking to have their minds blown at the site of an alligator head protruding from a little Hansel and Gretel style house. This picture doesn’t quite do it justice however. The garden also features a small army of amputee Barbie dolls and Action Men among other delights. If you’re in the area it’s worth checking out. I might even go back and conduct a survey myself.

I’m mystified by much of the debate surrounding Lana Del Ray. Some people seem genuinely outraged that Lana Del Ray is not her birth name, that she might not have always had this slightly trashy 1960′s look or indeed have had half the emotional turmoil in her life that she sings about. Where’s the issue here?! Do people believe that Lady Gaga was born fully formed and wore meat dresses and telecommunication devices on her head all through her youth? No. Do they know that The Beatles didn’t all live on a yellow submarine? If your cultural taste demands strict realism at all times then perhaps pop music isn’t the best art form for you. The most preposterous of the allegations levelled at Del Ray is the suggestion that she may have had some kind of cosmetic procedure to accentuate her lips into the bee stung pout she sports. May I respectfully ask, and out of a genuine sense of curiosity…who cares if she has anyway? This tube passenger at Queensway obviously does.
Traditional piece of phonebox Knobism, possibly created at speed. Note the lack of spiky testicular hair and the omission of the standard arc of flying semen.
5/10 – must try harder.

I’ve heard of people having a Napoleon complex but never a building. Who is it trying to kid?
