I call tonight's photo, "Irony".Maybe it's me, but the sight of an empty beer pack advertising "for a hard earned thirst," sitting on a park picnic table covered in graffiti, appeals to my sense of irony. Especially as I know the crowd who would leave it there would consider getting out of bed a hard earned thirst.

I suppose we all have our own thoughts on what represents "cool". To me, it was always Steve McQueen. I used to ride my push bike up and down the fields outside the little Welsh village where I lived, pretending I was evading the evil Nazis. Of course the fact that I was scared of cows and had to be home for tea if I wanted to avoid a clip round the year, somewhat took the lustre of that fantasy. Fortunately, I was soon to discover other fantasies but we wont go there.
Today however, I came across a new example of "cool". The hapless parachutist.
Did he panic? Nope.
According to reports on police radio, he remained cool throughout his ordeal, smoking a cigarette and waving at passing train passengers.
Wherever you may be - be safe!
