Bristol
January 23, 2006 on 5:47 pm |I recently went to the wonderful city of Bristol yesterday. Thought it would be fun to do a photoblog of it. So that’s what I’m doing. Links in this post are linking to pictures taken by me or maybe somebody else if it doesn’t look like it were taken by me.
So. A two hour journey later we were closer to Wales than Hal is to Miss Vowles’ ass. If you didn’t know Bristol is on Google Maps. Bristol! Bristol! Bristol!
Did you know that Bristol is so strange it tries to be 11 minutes behind GMT. This means that theres a clock tower with two minute hands there. Now that’s what I call a fascinating fact!
Anyways. We went to a nature place in which I couldnt be bothered to take photos in. We saw a chameleon. That reminds me of a famous song by Boy George and his culturous club. Furthermore I learned how to conserve the environment and how eating monkeys was wrong. What about King Kong. He’s already dead isn’t he? He would have fed a load of homeless New Yorkers.
Wandering back onto the topic of Bristol we also went to Arnolfini. That were a parental choice of art gallery. It had some arty art inside. Well only one bit was open. But not bad for a free one. Moving on. We then went to eat lunch. Ended up with a female sibling’s choice of pizza place and turned out to be very nice. Thank you sibling of a non-male gender. Moving on.
We then went to a big tower in a random park. In this park were the opening shots of this entry taken. (the link of Bristol! Bristol! Bristol!). Also in this park was a strange but true student film project going on. It featured a hobo-ish man sitting next to a microwave. Then some random woman comes up and deposits a microwaveable pastry on the floor in front of his nicely situated bench. He then proceeds to put it into the microwave and sip his beer. If you see this on TV in a few months - you heard it here!
Pictures of this incident were taken. EDIT: but sadly I can’t be arsed to find the images for wordpress 
We then proceeded to a science-y hands on thing. It had an excitement thingy that measured your excitement when viewing a series of pictures according to eye movement, perspiration and heart rate. I reacted most strongly to a picture of a frog - and had no reaction to waxed up men or women in bikinis. Does this mean that I’m asexual? Me and my sister had a go in this lift thing which tested our futile upper body strength. We almost completed it.
I ended the day with a little splash-around in a fountain that had a water temperature that was below zero.
That was my day. Thank you for reading/watching. I’m Anand Wills. and I’m sure when I say this I speak for the whole othermargin team… “that water was bloody freezing”.
