Took this shot on one of the many recent days when the earth stood still and Saint Gordon of Brown bailed out the known world with his secret stash of Nectar points and Green Shield Stamps. Something about the nature of the shiny, empty, lighter-than-air balloons, previously soaring, now snagged on an Earth-bound telly aerial, spoke far more eloquently about the individuals who have landed us in this mess than I ever could; so I pulled up sharp, leaned out the window (bloke) and snapped.

....and the house below later had so little value that the balloons lifted the whole edifice into the sky.....
My ex-next door neighbour once similarly nearly impaled himself over his TV aerial in an attempt to get a better picture for the X-Factor or something. Shades of Rod Hull, Romney Marsh and a desparate attempt to get a good picture for an England match.
I wonder if you erudite ones remember the terraced house in Oxford, near the old soccer stadium, that had a large fibreglass marlin leaping from the roof. Caused about ten yeras of legal wrangling with The Authorities as I recall.....although everyone loved it! I believe there was another house nearby that had a Spitfire sticking out!
What's Rodney Marsh got to do with this? He used to play for QPR.
