“London has exhibitions saluting China and the Olympics all over town. But it’s not all perfect as recent political events have shown. Michael Wolf’s disturbing installation at Liberty (department store) is a comment on cheap mass-produced plastic toys.”
“Instead of an appearance by Dave Grohl and the rest of the popular act, the station planned to play a Foo Fighters album on a tape deck.”
A couple of weeks back when I took a flight from Liverpool to Amsterdam I had my shower gel, moisturiser, and facewash taken from me by security after my bags had passed through x-ray and I’d passed through the metal detector.
I had placed my toiletries into a clear-ish polythene bag that I’d tied a knot in. Okay, so that’s not the fancy resealable plastic pouch that they show in the security notices, but I could undo the knot and re-do it again, so I had figured it would be okay. Not so. The guy called me aside and with a sigh I said “I had a feeling this was going to happen.”
