Monkeybomb



I took this photo today in a tunnel under Waterloo station - I think its a Banksy. When I uploaded it to Flickr I gave it the obvious name of Monkeybomb, and then I realised it was actually a great name for a band.

All around the Waterloo area and along the Southbank from Westminster Bridge to Gabriels Wharf there are trails of white paint on the ground. I often go for walks around there with colleagues at work and we often find ourselves following the route of one of these trails by chance: some of them go on for a really long distance, too long to be anything but deliberate. Its always an anticlimax when it just fizzles out, and I have always secretly hoped there would be something like this at the end as a little joke.

It occurs to me that 'Monkeybomb' is not a good name for the photo. Its a banana bomb or a monkey bomber, but I think I'll stick with it.

Monkeybomb sounds like its one of those hard house acts who have one massive dance anthem hit and are never heard of again.
