The recent weather has taken it's toll on the footpaths

Fifa 10, by a tree?!?

Fifa 10, by a tree?!?

That's how tonic and ginger ale are made.

 

[Throbbing Angel]

Wut?

Wut?

Go to any supermarket and ask them to show you to the Fifa Tree.

Fevertree, innit.

Oh

Anyway - Fifa10 is now leaning against a telegraph pole nearby

Not mine, obviously, and not all that mundane either, but I rather like this photo I've just spotted online:

Aerial view of Hull, looking roughly east across the city centre.

Probably a couple of years old but makes you feel proud.

Probably a couple of years old but makes you feel proud.

It must be a couple of years old, as it doesn't show any of the new developments around the Fruit Market, and Clarence Flour Mill is still standing. Great photo, though.

What I find most striking about it is how small the Old Town is - just the bit in the middle of the photo bounded by the River Hull to the east and former Town Docks to the west and north - in comparison to the sprawling city that grew up in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries
