In with the Old!
The smoking ban came in place in Scotland in March 2006 and it’s been deemed a pretty good thing for health and the like. It’s seen publicans having to change how they provide for their customers, mainly in introducing a nice and friendly area outside for smokers to indulge. Other places such as shopping centres have just banned smoking outright. The image above is from Tesco in Maryhill. Rather than throwing out the old ashtrays/bin someone has reinvented it as a plant pot/ bin. Loving that work.
Not been blogging much recently though I’ve got lots of things that I want to write about. Things like how photography’s changed since digital, the process at work, finding and retaining inspiration and 10 reasons I know that I’m a dad. Outside the fact that I have two kids. I know what I mean.
Things are not so much hectic but heavy at work at the moment and until that’s resolved I can’t see the Muse coming to visit for a while. I’m going to try though, the whole point of this is to stretch me and I’m not keen on stopping just because my head’s mulchy.
iPhone on Nov 9th at an expected £280. Amazed at the deal that O2 supposedly have done with Apple to secure the rights. It does seem a little mad, esp with them having to install an EDGE network that’s inferior to the 3G network that O2 spent billions buying and then trying to monitise. However, the other side of that coin is that the hype for the iPhone will help shift customers from other operators to O2. Seemed to be quite effective with AT&T in the US, we’ll see how it goes here. I have 6 weeks to decide to get one. Yeah. Right. I’ll be camping outside a Carphone Warehouse with all the other geeky-must-have-on-launch saddos.

Hi Steelso, how’s things? I like the look of the plant-pot ashtray. Although ironically so many people use pot plants *as* ashtrays, which is horrible, so just as well no-one is allowed to smoke anywhere there.
Victoria has gone as far as banning smoking from pubs and restaurants, but that means the number of cigarette butts dropped on the street outside these establishments has increased. Yuck.
PS: lol - I see your Spam protection field requires basic maths skills. I had to use my brain a bit….
