Guilty by association ?
November 21, 2007
Here is a picture of what was presented to me when I opened an article on BreakingNews.ie.
In my head I kind of put 1+1 and got 3. I think the way that they have put the image for the headline sometimes can confuse readers, and in some situations associate the wrong thing with the wrong image. For those of you who don’t know who this man is, (i.e joe), it’s the Taoiseach, or Prime Minister, of Ireland. Also isn’t is a bit weird that there is a kid off to the side of the picture ? !

Here is a picture from my webcam, facing onto the street near my house in Munich. As you can see we have snow ! I’m off home tomorrow for a sun holiday, where the temperature should be at least 12°C warmer !
Naming People You don’t know
Here is another piece from inside my head. Do you ever find yourself giving names to people you see all the time but you don’t know their real names ? For example, we have two local bums that hang around our area, one guy (Charles) who stands at the S-Bahn ticket area begging and asking for change, and then there is another one (Jasper) who hangs around where our front door and where the newspaper vending machines are. Jasper likes to ask for 20c or 10c. I find that if I can put names on people I see regurally, I feel a little more at ease. There are people who I see probably twice or more a week on the S-Bahn or in work, who I don’t know, but I recognise them from seeing them before. Like there is this one guy (simon) , who is rather small in stature and wears these special shoes that give him an extra inch. I’ve notice this guy many times, and his ‘high heals’, so I gave him a name. Do you mentally baptise people you don’t know ? Or is it just me and my over observance ?
