Ghost train

Look more closely at the perfectly legible text and what might first appear to be something cute and cuddly and Rev Awdry-esque takes on a more sinister hue.

Hello Kitty

This looks like one of those things people who look into your mouth use when they need to keep your tongue in a certain position. It will need a thorough wash.

Hitchin Road, Luton
(but where they're building that new ring road)

Baby's dummy

Baby's dummy

Can't help feel we've had one of these before, though this one was spat out, presumably in an infantile fit of pique at all the 'goddam' cable ties and moss about the place.

Clubs zip loc

There's a story behind this one, although you'd probably have to go onto the dark side of the internet to get it.

Old Bus Station, Luton

Moby Grape

Moby Grape

A-ha. Another musical allusion. Forty-seven years old, and despite the poor quality and over-eager lead guitar player, every bit more refreshing than any talk about Oasis reforming. Oh; and someone left the grape out in the rain.

Belter. Beached near the old Sarnies shop about ten days ago. It put me right in mind of this.

There's something a little 'Luton Town Football Club' about this image. Also something a bit 'sultan'....

Gate furniture

You can have 'door furniture'; why not 'gate furniture'?

Erotic lamp

Oh come on. Slinky purple doesn't exactly do it for me either, but it's almost short hand for a certain type of chocolate box and/or Goff "sexy"

Robot Head

Robot Head

An unfortunate end met this robot being, as its tiny head (pictured) was found in the middle of Jubilee Street, Hitchin Road end.

"Fancy a roll up?" "Yeh. It'll take my mind off the corner piece for my aquarium jigsaw; it's missing." "Oh. I'm sure I've seen it somewhere..."

Hitchin Road, Luton

Historic failure

Historic failure

Taken at the roadworks at the town end of Crescent Road. For all the world, it looks as if someone's foolishly, courageously tried to halt the new ring road, but have failed.

Hitchin Road, Luton

"D please, Bob"

"D please, Bob"

Not like this blog to go on about old television. Kids; it was every bit AS BAD as it was now, only there was less of it. Here's Blockbusters, which is referenced in the title.

Luton corn dolly

Luton corn dolly

Just before being ploughed back into Hitchin Road to encourage the coming harvest. It could be a corn dolly; it could be some kind of 'being' taking nourishment from a patch of oil.

Naked pens

Naked pens

Rubbish, yes. Why two together? No doubt something sinister involving the outer plastic surround, although it could be some form of blow football.

Hitchin Road, Luton

1.25 cars

It would appear, from this picture, that one and a quarter cars lost or had their wheel trims taken off.

Hitchin Road, Luton

Booze for Baby

Booze for baby

Almost a punch line for Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, and, possibly, an inspiration for this dumped rubbish-cum-art installation-cum-social comment which appeared the other day.

Charles Street, Luton

Proficiency in hair clipping

Proficiency in hair clipping

A scout or a guide badge, denoting profiency is some aspect of scouting or guiding. This one looks as if it may have been awarded for deft use of hair clippers.

Found near the flightpath for Luton Airport. Lamination at its best, too. Rather disappointing content, however.

Turned out nice again.

One was left behind as the other struck out for the last cigarette

That's what it looks like, anyway; the red colour on the foregrounded glove suggests mortality, no?

Rat Killer Box

Rat Killer Box

Technically, this is rubbish.Which means it shouldn't be in this blog. But it was sat right in the middle of the road, proudly displaying the Union Jack and serif-less block capitals. A smug one, which seems to have received just deserts.

Oxen Road, Luton

Playmobil head

Playmobil head

I hope this is a Playmobil head, or a futuristic car, or a biblical cot. Something nice and innocent, anyway...
