"I'm sure some of you have seen these things on top of bus stops around east London - weird little potatoes painted with multi-coloured spikes sticking out of them, and now flat pictures with representation of crude circular object with coloured lines coming out of them. Whats that all about then?"
Turns out it was some kind of art-project or something boringly, just as I guessed. Someone showed me an article about it but I can't find that one now, there's somethign about them here though

A dense layer of japanese knotweed in my back yard.


I hear you there Craner I filled six or seven bin bags with that stuff at the weekend, I also uncovered a fox hole next to the shed at least four feet deep burrowing underneath. I've seen the cubs, four of them, frequently over the last couple of days, they're dope.

A celebration for the re-opening of Windrush Square in Brixton on Saturday, that the council have totally forgotten to advertise - to anyone. How these people operate is beyond me. "Right, everything's ready - just feels like there's something we've forgotten to do. Oh, I know. To tell anyone."

I happened upon wasp fighting a grasshopper on the street once in st johns wood. they were in one of those boxing-hugs, rolling around: a proper brawl. i didn't try to break it up (to my shame, i filmed it on my phone). the wasp was stinging the grashopper over and over, eventually severing one of the grasshopper's legs and flying away with it like it was a trophy. when the grasshopper began to crawl away defeated, i euthanised him.

edit: i've also just noticed i really like the word 'grasshopper'

I saw something similar once but it was a cat and a fox. Did break it up in the end by kicking them. Obviously the fox didn't fly off with the cat's leg or anything.

I was just thinking, that's like a miniature insect version of Rich's cat/fox story.

I once saw a fat little hedgehog come charging out of the bushes and spike a passing cat by sort of hefting itself up so its back hit the cat's stomach, not as elegant as sonic. The cat, which had been minding its own business hopped up in shock and then fled.

It was very strange.

did the fox seem to be winning then?

I keep hearing these terrifying distant screams at night, but i've been reassured that it's only foxes. I vividly remember hearing a rabbit scream for the first time (when my dog caught one in a field and shook it til it died) - pretty disturbing for a nine-year-old.

"did the fox seem to be winning then?"
That's a good question; the foxx was on top and I assumed it was about to kill someone's cat which was why I broke it up - I've since read that if a cat is underneath it's winning so who knows? Loads of foxes where I live and they make a horrible racket, especially when they're mating, it sounds pretty much like a cross between a baby crying and someone being raped (I imagine).

You imagine people being raped? Sick bastard.
