While on a quick pit stop in Brighton on Saturday, we decided to grab brunch at the local independent cafe The Marwood Coffee Shop. Here we stumbled onto a vending machine so brilliant, we actually spent £16 in under an hour (we had to go to the bank to get £2 coins!). The concept is so simple and yet so ingenious and forward thinking, I tip my hat at its creators.
You see, the vending machine ain't just any ordinary vending machine. It's an ArtVend, meaning it despense a piece of art work screen printed on DVD size plywood panels, in this case arts by local Brighton street artist Imbue. Why DVD size plywood panels you ask? Well the vending machines were once used to sell pornographic DVDs, so there!

Brighton Pride 2007
Today was the annual Brighton Pride. Despite the city filled with "sinful" people, we were blessed with warm sunny weather throughout the day, again proving the Church of England is made up of stupid people. We later spend most of the day on the seafront, trying to catch up with 2 months worth of skin darkening sun.





















The homophobic bigots (or "godis" as one fellow commented) from the fascist vile hate group Christian Voice were protesting near the entrance to Preston Park, banging on about nonsensical scriptures and waving miniature bibles. They were pretty subdued though. Twenty of them versus 150,000 revellers? Not a chance. There were actually twice as many police to protect them...
