talk type

hmmm, so traffic jams suck, but this one was good for something at least.

trapped between junctions, saw this. 



tickled me for two reasons- one being the name (not too disimilar from where I'd come from), but more importantly the typeface. 

ugly or not?

autosol, is that like anusol but for cars?

ee, ee virgin post, ummm what to write...

well in honour of all things analogue (and just to get things rolling) how about i tell you a little about an analogue project of mine.

many, many months ago i bought a beat up 1975 Raleigh Wayfarer Ladies' bike from a small store back in Manchester-ford. (90 squid for a rather rusted mish-mash of metal, rubber, gears, leather and spokes). i was robbed, but i was also in love. 

many, many months on, i've started to fix her! one lot of fine gauge sandpaper, a wire brush, bogey green corrosive gunk and tube of autosol later i've now checked off de-rustifying the rims. i'm moving on to paintwork next. but first a little celebration of one Sunday's work...
