Odd sights of the last few days

[major_clanger]

I was at a seminar at UCL's Institute for Child Health the other day (it was actually on patent law - UCL's law dept were just using the lecture theatre there) and popped into the gents. Where I found that someone had made rather an odd architectural decision as to where to site a couple of large mirrors...



It's not so much the infinite array of urinals - more the dozens of versions of you all, well, engaged in what a bloke does when standing in front of one of them.

And last night took me to the Scotch Malt Whisky Society's London tasting rooms. On entering, you see a display of unusual whisky bottles, of which this one was my favourite:



You can't read the small print, but you probably won't be surprised to hear that it explains that (a) this is actually very nice single malt, and (b) it's for leaving on the shelf when you have visitors who are prone to quaffing your good stuff without properly appreciating it.

And you didn't take me?

I am assuming you mean the SMWS, not the UCL gents...

It was a small meet-up with a couple of friends, but I did think "I must bring fjm here!" As a SMWS member, I can take up to 3 guests in, and it's close to Farringdon and Chancery Lane tube stations, so not too awkward for you to get to. We shall have to sort something out!

Let me know when you take fjm!

And when we're in London, autopope is also a member and will have a couple of spare guest slots (one of them is MINE!)

There's a malt whisky society, with London tasting rooms. I *so* did not need to know that.

I also now vaguely feel the need to go find the ladies version of that top picture and see if there's anything interesting there (the weirdest format I've seen was a place where there were full length mirrors on the backs of the cubicle doors, 'cos, yes, really, you need a mirror then...)

The loos would be better if you took a friend to help block the view...

You do lead an interesting life.

Looks like that was a one off. Pity, I quite liked the idea of getting that as a Christmas present for a whisky fan.

Damn, now you're making me regret not getting my arse to their tasting in Seattle last week. It's a great night out.
