Time for a collection of diversions with no fixed form…

Geeklawyer has a caption competition. It was good to be able to enter a caption competition for a change.
And now for something completely ludicrous…
Broken swastika?…Pseudo-Banksy derivative tag, ‘yoof patronising’ nonsense?
£400,000 worth ? The BBC story gives an insight into the minds of those who design logos and brands. Within hours a petition had been drawn up to get rid of the logo…. do you like it?

Actually, I’ve heard it is a puzzle. If you print the logo, cut out the pieces and rearrange them in a certain way, you end up with a side-profile silhouette of Ken Livingstone.
Good god… you are right!
On a rather more basic level, I’ve read that it looks like Lisa Simpson ‘giving head’ to a man. I can see what they mean (or is that just my warped mind?). Difficult to take it seriously after you’ve had this thought.

Thank you for making me think ‘out of the box’ …. albeit momentarily, and in an entirely conceptual way, about our Mayor’s arse.
You miserable old buggers - stop knocking it.
It totally encapsulates London - full of brash bright colours, Indian Restaurants, flashing lights and dog poo.
It does the business. Embrace it.
The animated version, according to the Press today, also triggers epileptic fits - and has had to be withdrawn from broadcast!
You couldn’t make it up !
Oh - stop making it up !!
Excellent…
