The three wise monkeys

Image
It’s interesting that this illicit trade prints symbols on their packets. Each one conveying it’s own meaning and this one’s of no exception. Some of you are familiar with the three wise monkeys; hear no evil, see no evil and say no evil which relates back to Japanese philosophy. Today though it’s meaning can also be seen in an opposite way; so instead of keeping with your moral principles of avoiding evil and helping you lead a steady path of staying pure you seek out all that is bad such as hearing harmful words, looking at terrible imagery and spreading words maliciously with immoral intent. What ever images these packets convey they’ll always adopt some negative side because after all they’re doing harm by selling these drugs.   

Chewable nicotine has links with past

Image
Looking into the past to create something new is another way of making a fresh start and there’s no better example than this find. Remember those western movies, where the cowboys chewed tobacco instead of smoking it? This activity stemmed from the native Americans and was later adopted by the new settlers ever since Christopher Columbus landed there. So here we have it ,nicotine pouches. These act like chewing gum as they come in different flavours except they contain nicotine. Once the pouches loose their effect and flavour they’re then placed conveniently back within the container in a separate compartment from the fresh supply which is a rather neat idea at preventing street litter.

  Another tie, this one’s been personalised with a name tag. 

Squeaky Find

Image
This pink pig, if squeezed, will make a horrible honking noise which is a delight for any energetic dog but also a great source of enjoyment for it’s owner as pooch scurries around after it’s squeaky play mate.    

My brothers old toy

Image
  Auugh, this little strange object was unearthed by workman in our garden. It must have been accidentally abandoned by my brother just as he was being called in for tea, back in the 1970’s, or in from the coming rain or finding another distraction like a friend coming round to play. I’ve since popped it back, probably to be found again in years to come by another relative, perhaps my brother’s grand child or even great grand child wandering what it is they’ve found. It’s embossed product details reveal it’s been made in Hong Kong,1973. This country was where most our child hood toys were made; cheap labour I’m guessing.

Fast food

Image
This KFC hat was found abandoned not far from it’s fast food chain outlet, Ken Tukey Fried chicken. Now this could mean lead into a few possible scenarios; number one, the resipiscent dropped it by accident on his way home from a busy day frying food or, number two, they’ve lost their job after a dispute at work or, number three, they’ve handed in their notice as they’re sick of the zero working hours, or number four, has moved onto better employment.

Dead rat

Image
This rat has been seen around our yard for the past two weeks. Amazingly I found him flattened in the shared drive way. I’ve also spotted them along one of my regular walks too. They scurry along nipping into near by bushes when anyone comes along down the path. Yes it’s been exceptionally hot this year; a record high apparently.

It’s my birthday and I’ll bitch if I want to

Image
And these girls certainly did bitch after I witnessed the four of them being exceptionally last they came down the street all dressed in tight mini dresses with the middle one with this announcement draped around their body. They continued to behave in this abandoned fashion by dropping this garb in the street later.   

Winner

Image
It’s school sports day season where it’s all about aiming to win those races to claim those super cool medals for hard working achievements. However this medal looks a bit on the cheap side as it’s made from plastic instead of the expensive shiny metal versions; so it’s been carelessly dropped and instead the usually accompanying paper certificate is of more value?   

Go on treat your self!

Wow! You wouldn’t think you’d find one of these but here’s one in plain site too in the middle of the road and in broad daylight!
