Those of you Twittering, blogging and generally keeping up with the digital Jones' will find a deep truth in the graphic below. I guess the very fact that I found it and decided to Tweet and then blog it validates its accuracy.

I spent a fantastic hour wandering around the derelict Temple Works site in Leeds this afternoon.

I was really inspired by the recent feature in Eye magazine on classic Airfix packaging. It featured the fabulous illustrations on the box fronts that were in fact a combination of packaging and point of purchase in the models shops of Britain.

We wonder if you could help.
We're trying the cheer people up. In 2002 (the year after 9/11) the mood everywhere was understandably low. So we decided to try and get people looking on the positive way. We produced a poster to go out on Jan 1st with 'one simple joy' for every day in the year. People really liked it and some people still have it up (usually in their loos) to help cheer them up.
We think the time's right for an update - credit crunch and all. But this time we've decided to do a calendar for the two key summer months (July, Aug) to try and will the weather to be better, get people feeling more positive and do our small bit to turn the tide.
At the moment we're calling it 'Reasons to be cheerful - Part 2'.
This time we'd like input from more people and we'd like to ask if our blog visitors would like to contribute. All we need is one simple jot - something that makes
you happy. Doesn't have to be deeply philosophical, though it can be if you
want. We'd like to credit each 'thought for the day' to the person who
provided it.
We only need 62 entries but we'd love you to be in there. The difficult bit is, if we're to get them all out for July 1st we've got to get cracking, so if you could reply to the Email with your entry in the next few day, that would be great. Don't worry about writing style - we'll craft if for you if you like. However, if you want to get poetic on us, we won't touch it.
Thanks hugely in advance.

We all know how it is. You pop into the pub after work on a Friday for a few shandies and before you realise it, you’ve had 6 pints and there’s talk of disco dancing.
If like me you had driven to the pub knowing full well that you would have to leave the car then pick it up in the morning possibly taking half of your Saturday to do so, the prospect isn’t so hot.
Ah but don’t fret as there is a new superhero in town! Scooterman is the latest craze to hit Leeds (For those of you in our Southern contingent you should be already aware of them)
Scooterman arrives at your pre allocated time on a little scooter. He takes his scooter, folds it up, puts it in a bag and pops it in the boot of your car. Then the fully insured, sober driver drives you home. When you’re home he unfolds and scoots off. Genius.

There's something very comforting about the time of the year when Springwatch appears on BBC2.

Was the title of a rather optimistic t-shirt that the 'Chiefs peddled rather successfully a few years back (via the back pages of the NME I seem to remember).

Well Friday arrived really just as Tuesday finished, or at least it feels like that. So much to do and little time to blog it in. Apologies for the lack of regular updates.
