behind the scenes... ( plug rant included )

behind the scenes is probably not the right title.

these are just three photos i took while i was waiting for the lampshades

to be hung properly on location near kings cross the other week.

some fantastic lighting flex. i didn't know you could get it in all those colours.

the two different shades of red were good, as was the green and the lilac,

but best of all i liked the hi-vis orange lighting flex... genius !

er... a plug.

but it's not just a plug is it ?

have you ever travelled to the usa or to asia ?

even in europe ?

have you ever had problems plugging in electrical items and suddenly it dawns

on you... not only do we live in the greatest country in the world ( fact )

but more importantly, we have the best designed plugs in the world.

3 pins. it's quite simple... 3 pins are better than two. our plugs don't fall out.

make a stool with two legs it'll fall over. make one with three legs it'll stand.

try balancing a camera on a two legged device. it'll fall over.

put it on a tripod and you're laughing.

sure, we're no good at football anymore, 

but we have the best designed plugs in the world !

salute !
