meerkats united

Yesterday, after getting up at 4am to drive to Southampton at 5am to catch the 8am ferry to the Isle of Wight, an hours ferry journey, and then doing an installation of some computer equipment which took us nicely to midday, we went to Amazon World where they had all sorts of animals. Unfortunately as a lot of them are behind bars or glass, it's not always possible to take decent photos. However, for your viewing pleasure, we have:

• Geoffries Cats
  
• A meerkat
  

I'm not entirely sure why there were penguins in Amazon World, but they were still cool to look at!

Recently along the backroads I use to and from work, a number of signs have appeared at various points, which tend to show a smiley face and your speed (if you are at or below the speed limit) or a unhappy face and your speed (if you go above the speed limit). I'm in 2 minds as to whether these are a good idea or not - I keep to the speed limit and for the most part that's OK, however, when the signs tell you that you're going over the speed limit when your speedo says you're below the limit, all it does is just annoy people so that they speed up. It's just so bloody irritating that they don't always get it right. Anyway, the Association of British Drivers have some amusing images to use as desktop wallpaper, taking a dig at speed cameras!
