jeeff: yeah you've totally kicked my ass in the posting department.

jeeff: nice!!! what kind of surveillance do they have in the metro system there?

in response to The French Metro

jeeff: the bloods vs. crips, graf crew vs. graf crew, IRA vs. UDF are all just examples of something that reoccurs endlessly in the world - if you get too wrapped up in a subculture, you end up with your head stuck up your arse. and everyone else can see...

Sylvia Womersley: Lovely to see these almost forgotten images of my childhood, I was born in East London and do not know nearly enough about the cultures at that time. I now live in Australia and love it but, my roots still belong where I grew-up, and to pass it on to...

Anonymous (user-12lcl9r.cable.mindspring.com): in a nutshell (or eggshell): "Major ecological impact of Starlings is driving out competitors. Because starlings are so aggressive and gregarious, they force out many native species. Starlings may attack established nests of other species destroying the eggs. An overabundance of starlings causes a lack of avian diversity ."

NINJA SIGN MAN: THANK YOU FOR POSTING MY PICTURE. I'M NOW CURRENTLY IN BALTIMORE MD, AND I HOPE TO KEEP IN TOUCH. MY E-MAIL ADDRESS IS WATTS980@YAHOO.COM.

elaine: i quite liked the photos from that day. i had spent all day at greenwich and was way over tired, got a lift home in the rain and took these at the petrol station

in response to a fuzzy tank in a greenwich petrol station

elaine: poor starlings, what have they ever done to you?

in response to Pet Bird Precursorz

GGP: those flames look like question marks: will we blow up today? ?????

Anonymous (dynamic-62-56-36-136.park-s46b.dslaccess.co.uk): plus, btw, since the 13th of april i have done 46 postings, which is a fair few. you will have to be patient. there will be more as long as prevailing conditions of life and limb and the internet and peter and the US gorvernment holding off nuclear war instigation,...

GGP: I like how in the last pic, the artist's signature looks like a blue tattoo on JR's forearm.

in response to numbers running

elaine: well i like it. london is a semi/post industrial city. big, mean and dirty, and this neighbourhood is not exactly posh, but it is interesting and i think friendly. people say london is not friendly but that is not my experience. people like to visit for holidays, though some of...

in response to Acton\'s Lock

jimenez: those are good photographs i am just very interested in your neighborhood thats all it looks very senic i would love to see more photographs

in response to Acton\'s Lock

elaine: what am i thinking? loads of my postings already are canalside, frinstance; gasworks their reflections sixy trolls robotbuilding bridge grafs towpath grafs more canalside grafs and finally, but happily, recently, the lovely ducks swimming in the grass. sorry to be a self plugger, but you did ask!

in response to Acton\'s Lock

elaine: now there is a lovely sort of death

in response to invisible man

elaine: bloody loads, actually. i thought you wanted people? i've just resized a load of people ones. what kind of odd do you want? (the people just look like people at a bus stop, so no loss there...

in response to Acton\'s Lock

jimenez: i thought maybe he was drowning in all the do-not-climb-me paints!

in response to invisible man

jimenez: then let us see some of your two hudnred photographs i am sure some are very nice like i like the photograph of radio the dog better than the lock actually. do you have more odd ones?

in response to Acton\'s Lock

elaine: well, i hope he went for a nice cup of tea, and not a more sinister end...

in response to invisible man

elaine: aha! i said i took about 200 pictures of the canal, locks, bridges, grafs, and birdies, and i did take a few of radio while we talked, and in one of them you can see andrea's hand and a foot, but noooo, i did not take any with the people

in response to Acton\'s Lock

Peter: --they removed the sign, as it was permanently "lionel'd" --they put up a new sign --sign was stickered again, with different stickers, but again permanently --they put up a new sign --sign was tagged with red spray enamel --they gave up and left defaced sign

in response to Lionel Richie Paste-Ups

elaine: but the tank grey ones, we don't have them here. if you see a pelican in a park it will be white, and i'd never seen a flock, and i'd never seen them flying, i think they get their wings clipped here, maybe. last spring i was mostly enjoying magpies on...

in response to Pet Bird Precursorz

jimenez: then let us see the photographs with all the people in them

in response to Acton\'s Lock

jimenez: that is an amazing photograph. where did the cleaning man go? he does have a tiny shovel

in response to invisible man

elaine: frinstance this one 'radio'. radio is andreas puppy, and very well behaved. i wasn't with them when i took these, just bumped into them walking to the park. i was with my friend david, and she was talking to another woman and her dog, so the no-people are in...

in response to Pet Bird Precursorz

Peter: so cool! see, we could never have anything like this in america, as either were a) too stupid or b) too security-crazed to allow anyone to operate something like a lock by themselves, heh...

in response to Acton\'s Lock

GGP: no-people, yay!

in response to Acton\'s Lock

GGP: yes, pelicans are very primordial-looking birds. I saw some in Jamaica. They're aloof yet friendly-looking. I too love birds of prey, but it's also fun to watch tiny birds like sparrows/etc. chase huge hawks away from the area where the sparrows/etc. are nesting. That's always a sight!

in response to Pet Bird Precursorz

elaine: you know me, a bugger for the no-people. sometimes there are a little troupe of street drunks that hang out at a bench, and there are lots of walkers and cyclers and dogs, so it's not exactly documentary style. yeah, you have to do the lock yourself if you come...

in response to Acton\'s Lock

Peter: aka "cash cow"? heh heh!

in response to A Cow Named Kindess

GGP: I was thinking of a cow named E-commerce.

in response to A Cow Named Kindess

Peter: lock photos! thanks elaine... i love the old-looking iron hardware where tehy hinge into the ground. are they human-powered or something? cool. very oldskool, for sure. i love how there are no people whatsoever in all the photos.

in response to Acton\'s Lock

elaine: hah! i forgot about that guy. my brother went round to visit them when they were here, i don't know if he took pictures

kobe: id love to see a cage-match between the chavs, crips, bloods, and northern irish. now that would be worth seeing on pay-per-view! yeah, i agree with "dont believe the hype". who cares if youre from the east or west coast? coasts? im not even from america, so its all the...

in response to numbers running

hype: pac and bigge are dead. shit happens. all this east coast versus west coast shit is so 1990s. its a contrived beef that the record industry keeps alive to sell more records. dont believe the hype. the only people that give a shit about gangbangers are the gangbangers themselves. everyone else...

Editor: tashay: being fascinated/curious enough about gang graffiti as an artifact of urban culture to share images of it online is one thing... participating in an endless, pointless argument about who pops and who drops, however, is another thing altogether. in case you missed it, this whole site is a "message bord"...

in response to Shoes

tashay: first and foremost id like to say that peter, if im not correct you too made a crip and blood message board and quite strangly actually took the time to take pictures of graffiti, so if you dont have anything worth reading to say then go baq to your m.b. secondly...

in response to Shoes

elaine: my cow would be called rover, and i would take her to the various fields and commons round london, as is my right, though as a commoner, not a lord i believe i would not be allowed to drive her over the bridges on the thames. and i wouldn't be...

in response to A Cow Named Kindess

Peter: great. here comes yet another bloods versus crips rant. prepare yourself, everyone. who cares? gangbanging is gangbanging, no matter what "set" you claim. and "game"? i hear his shit like 5 times an hour on hot-97. hes like the britney spears of commercial rap. gimme a break.

in response to A Cow Named Kindess

Peter: ...well, that and the fact that ive read the jungle before ;)

in response to A Cow Named Kindess

elaine: you are a sensible boy

in response to A Cow Named Kindess

Peter: wow! three cheers for trompe l'oeil!

in response to Лестница (Stairs)

Peter: ill have some bovine growth hormones with my bovine spongiform encephalopathy, please! hahahaha. thats why i dont eat meat and really dont drink any milk.

in response to A Cow Named Kindess

elaine: oh yeah, now that does make sense - remember that scandal when they tried to do it to chickens and little kids were getting breasts somewhere in south america? half and half is delicious on weetabix

in response to A Cow Named Kindess

Germaine: it involves hormones present in the milk Yes, but perhaps this is beacuse of the Bovine Growth Hormones that American cows are pumped full of. A process generally frowned upon anywhere else.

in response to A Cow Named Kindess

Jamie: I would name my cow "Alan"

in response to A Cow Named Kindess

Peter: yeah i think it refers to "whole milk", that is, the full-fat type. here, they have skim, also, and "2%", which has only 2% milkfat remaining. but i think its more of an issue than the fat content... i think it involves hormones present in the milk that can effect...

in response to A Cow Named Kindess

elaine: in birds i like predation and scale. happy to watch a killer bird anytime, and if they are big you don't need those binoculars that i can't bear. but scale on it's own also swings it for me. when i was in california i saw flocks of pelicans, they were...

in response to Pet Bird Precursorz

elaine: so it is. is plane common in NY? it's absoutely ubiquitous in london

in response to found manifesto/london plane

elaine: in the uk there is no such milk as half and half, just full fat, which is regular or skimmed which is basically water with a white tinge, and semi skimmed which is probably what most peole use. if these people are drinking half and half then there's your case...

in response to A Cow Named Kindess

GGP: Here's the Plane Tree that lives across the street from my house.

in response to found manifesto/london plane

Peter: elaine: totally, re: milk being intended for growing babies. the problem is that this evidence of a tie to obesity flies in the face of the convention that calcium and other minerals in milk have actually been promoted/advertised (by the dairy industry) as aides to weight-loss. so ironic! ggp: the meatrix...

in response to A Cow Named Kindess

GGP: Support your local family farms. If you eat meat and dairy, buy pasture-raised, grass-fed meats and dairy products. Buy locally grown, organically raised produce. This sustains the kind of farming and food production we need more of. Check out The Meatrix www.themeatrix.com.

in response to A Cow Named Kindess

GGP: falconer, yeah. I've had that dream too.

in response to Pet Bird Precursorz

lalo: the white guy is right, thats a smart guy.

in response to Humboldt Park

elaine: considering milk is designed for accelerated growth of baby things, i would say that drinking loads of milk and expecting not to get fat would be very ambitious. milk production is torture, meat may be murder, but i kind of prefer it

in response to A Cow Named Kindess

jeeff: i would name my cow "beef."

in response to A Cow Named Kindess

Peter: i read in the paper today that people who drink three or more servings of milk a day are 35% more likely to be/become obese.

in response to A Cow Named Kindess

elaine: milk is so cruel

in response to A Cow Named Kindess

elaine: how lovely

in response to high tension love

GGP: bubblicious.

in response to high tension love

GGP: sure, a cow named tank would certainly be fuzzy. elaine, these are dairy cows. they won't become meat, but sadly their life after the first year will be one of confinement. 3x/day milking, a relatively short life span of 5-6 years at a high-output dairy farm.
