Follow that taxi!
I always wanted to shout that out. "STICK THE SIRENS ON! Take him alive." Go! Go! Hang on - what? He's parked up? Oh.

Is this Gregor Samsa?
Or just a top-hatted dude with a stripey shirt, lying on his back pretending to be a dog having his tummy tickled? Or just apparently collapsed while doing a drunken zombie/ghoul/sneaky-monster walk? Not that either of those wouldn't be quite good in its own right, but I don't know, maybe I read too much into these things. Maybe I just try to connect things up too much. Anyway, nice picture. So it goes.

Two abreast
As I lazed on the back seat, staring fixedly out of a late-night taxi home from the West End, my vision swam with the hypnotic glare emitted by these knights of the road, these uniform beacons of order and regimentation in a sea of uncertainty and chaos.

Up close
I was paying way too much attention to my efforts in avoiding over-exposure to be able to see what this chap was queueing to buy, and so failed in both regards. I prostrate myself in apology.

Red route
I like to think that these guys had stopped off to pop into Food Hall and pick up a quick spicy chicken roll and a coconut macaroon. Good job they can park where the hell they like, otherwise in my imagined scenario they'd have had to walk a number of metres.

Another accident off Kingsland Road
Whole east side of the junction boxed off, with a big tent on the road. No smashed-up cars to be seen, so I guess it must have been a cyclist or a pedestrian. Bad news.

Busted
These two stopped and questioned this guy for a few minutes before slapping the cuffs on him. I came past again maybe 5 minutes later and they were still stood there talking to him, his hands still cuffed.
