Over its tender years the Tate has embraced a number of installations ranging from tall, spindly spiders, Rachel Whiteread’s sugar cubes and a ’sun’, reflected above in a mirrored ceiling, prompting visitors to lie down and wave their arms and legs about. These are all installations which feature as part of the Unilever series. Quite what a major multinational brand has got to do with sponsoring art shows is beyond me but I guess that’s all fairly irrelevant. Nevertheless it’s always interesting to see what will be there next….

The last few days, we’ve been hanging around our garden in T-shirts. I’ve seen ladybirds and butterflies, and the trees are leafy and lovely and all that sounds great – but it’s fucken November!! Doesn’t anyone else think something really weird is going on?

I roll motherfukkin snake eyes and wind up on Trafalgar Square, where Wilf is poised to bankrupt my poverty stricken ass. I cough up the cash and take another swig from the two litre keg of scrumpy we are sharing. It’s called Haymaker because it packs a punch and comes in a huge glass bottle, complete with a round finger hole so that I can swing it like right hook.

The ‘unreported’ hoody’s however, have united in Parliament Square to take the heroic action of civil disobedience by attempting to lie down in the middle of the road, thus stopping MP’s from entering the Houses of Parliament. One day without them in there will save a lot of destruction.

Its 6 am and still dark. As we approach the warehouse the car in front of us screeches to a halt. Its passengers leap out and run toward the first set of gates clutching the bicycle D-Locks they plan to use to attach themselves to the warehouse gate….

On Saturday 23rd September, some people went down to London Soldier – “For three days only, Chelsea will be transformed into a hive of military activity, demonstrating the best the Army and the Reserve Forces have to offer” – armed with piles of State Of Emergency’s “Join the army – be depressed” leaflets to offer potential recruits some information on the possible downsides to taking the Queen’s Euro.

The 2/3 of energy that would normally be wasted as heat by a regular power station is captured, and used. This is called Combined Heat and Power (CHP), and massively increases the energy efficiency, leading to a corresponding massive decrease in the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions from energy production.
