Bicycle Tag of bike

Here's the one I took the other day:

It's water under the bridge now.

I sent this picture to the company which installs such tables, asking if it is one of theirs, and if so, where is it located.
They replied, telling me it is, and where it is located.
Unfortunately they did so after Crop had been there.
Hilarious.
Polka dot should be aware that this company are now in my pocket, and their number is in my phone, which is also in my pocket smiley

^^clever

Anyway, I may, or may not, be getting bored of table tennis tables and I may, or may not, have a new idea in mind.

how could you "top" the ping pong tables? bus stops? man hole covers?

Ohh - I think it's relatively easily done.....
Full time employment currently prevents me from becoming a right winding up bastid .

Foolishly left my wallet at home today otherwise I'd be off to get this on a Barclays bike on my way home

in respect of the map, I've always suggested that moving it to Google's Spreadsheet mapper would be a good move

http://www.google.com/earth/outreach/tutorials/spreadsheet3.html for more details.

I started once, but had to give up, as work killed my access to that bit of docs for a while (an error I think)

Sub thread: BToB-PP edition?

Well the site linked to via the map graphic here wasn't much help. (NSFW)

Bring back the churches

New bike tag!
Let this be the last bloody ping pong table.

Hackney Road Recreation Ground was formerly the site of Shoreditch Burying Ground (an extension of nearby St Leonards) in the 18th Century.

The site still contains two memorial stones - one of these marking the grave of Thomas Fairchild a leading nurseryman and botanist who sought to beautify the city. Fairchild's Nursery in Shoreditch existed from 1691 to 1740 and specialised in flowering plants.In 1717 Fairchild crossed the Carnation with the Sweet William to create 'Fairchild's Mule'.

The shipping container houses arts exhibitions.

New. Use the force:

Lovely details BQ. New tag is amazing!

So I was right with my suspicion that I was on a church ground with a ping pong table.

Yup. ..

Nice. One BQ

Back in the game!

Old tag. Seven Ages of Man sculpture by Richard Kindersley at Baynard House blackfriars.

New tag.

This fella probably wouldn't have minded at bit of the wet weather that graced my tagging today. He would have found a way around it. Or over it. Or under it.

Swift work well done
Just ID'd BQ's tag

Dragging myself out of bed to go get it...

Old: Brunel Statue, temple

New: This cafe features on the cover of my favourite single. Might appeal to Ordinary Folk...

nice reflecto-clue

glad it's not the one in Marlow

Nice new tag, hms, and quick work hairnetnic!

I really wanted to tag this statue since seeing it on that excellent Pedway video (pedway = skywalk = my crappy clue, incidentally) that Skully posted.

Click this picture for a bigger version:

It's just such a cool and bizzare bit of London, right by Blackfriars bridge.
It looks unloved round there, and the builders are in. I do hope they are not going to knock it down. It's probably the best and most extensive bit of remaining Pedway outside of the Barbican.

didn't see that, it was full of cab drivers, I think they thought I was clocking someone for a police report...

Moving fast today.

BQs tag used to be a BT exchange, not sure if it still is. They had a bit they used as a new technologies showcase for the public to visit, it was the first place I got to use a fax machine, it was like magic, it was a long time ago.

^csb.

There is more about the building here

and more about the sculpture here

Wikipedia says that it is cast aluminium - which I completely missed whilst I was there. The other website humorously describes the Surface Condition as being "bird guano"

Anyway - the inscription on the side reads:
"AT FIRST THE INFANT- MEWING AND PUKING IN THE NURSES ARMS/ AND THEN THE WHINING SCHOOL-BOY WITH HIS SATCHEL AND SHINING MORNING PACE CREEPING LIKE SNAIL UNWILLINGLY TO SCHOOL/ AND THEN THE LOVER SIGHING LIKE FURNACE WITH A WOEFUL BALLAD MADE TO HIS MISTRESS' EYEBROW/ THEN A SOLDIER FULL OF STRANGE OATHS AND BEARDED LIKE THE PARD JEALOUS IN HONOUR SUDDEN AND QUICK IN QUARREL SEEKING THE BUBBLE REPUTATION EVEN IN THE CANNON'S MOUTH/ AND THEN THE JUSTICE IN FAIR ROUND BELL/ WITH GOOD CAPON LIN'D WITH EYE SEVERE AND BEARD OF FORMAL CUT FULL OF WISE SAUS (sic) AND MODERN INSTANCE: AND HE PLAYS HIS PART/ THE SIXTH AGE SHIFT INTO THE LEAN AND STUPPER'D PANTALOON WITH SPECTACLE ON NOSE AND POUCH ON SIDE HIS YOUTHFUL HOSE WELL SAV'D A WORLD TOO WIDE FOR HIS SHRUNK SHANK AND HIS BIG MANLY VOICE TURNING AGAIN TOWARDS CHILDISH TREBLE PIPES AND WHISTLE IN HIS SOUND/ LAST SCENE OF ALL THAT ENDS THIS STRANGE EVENTFUL HISTORY IS SECOND CHILDNESS AND MERE OBLIVION SANS TEETH SANS EYES SANS TASTE SANS EVERYTHING"

(My shank was definitely somewhat shrunk in the cold & wet)

Old: Brunel Statue, temple

Quickly done!
IKB is a huge hero of mine.
Doing this tag reminded me of the 1975 animated (Oscar winning) film called "Great" that Bob "Henry's Cat" Godfrey did about Brunel. Sadly it's no longer on Youtube but if you see it anywhere - watch it. It's sublime.
