The front facade of The Cock Tavern on Mare Street in Hackeny, London, just a block away from Hackney Central.
For a long time this pub, like the rest of the area, was in decline, but recently, perhaps due to the nearby Olympic Village, this area has been the scene of much renovation. When the owners of The Southampton Arms took over The Cock Tavern, they renoved the pub really well and made sure to keep its style. But they also increased its beer line-up, making The Cock Tavern a must visit for beer tourists to London. But do go early as the pub will get packed at night.

Josiah Cocking (1867-1960) was a published Newcastle poet, a coal miner and often wrote for local Socialist newspapers. Cocking was a member of the Australian Socialist League and advocate of industrial unionism and Industrial Workers of the World.
Born in South Australia of Cornish descent, poverty frequently surrounded the Cocking household. Three brothers settled in Wallsend in 1886, Josiah gained work in the mines outside the local area. By 1911 he built a house on Billygoat Hill and had five children. In 1914 the family moved near the steelworks.
The photographic collection contains some images of Wallsend, Plattsburg and Pit town, looking east from Billygoat Hill, steam engines and coal trucks. There are also photographs of steam and electric trams. There are also a number of photographs taken of friends and family members.
Part of this archive contains diaries and copies of his writings. Papers include his description of the Australian Socialist League in Wallsend (1893-1896), and his diary ceases and resumes in various years, however is a valuable source of historical information about Newcastle and the Hunter Region.

I live in the town of Aachen, which is the most western city in Germany, just at the border to Belgium and the Netherlands. The picture displays a small part of the Fountain of Puppets near the great cathedral. It consists of several brass puppets that can be moved and twisted just like real puppets.
The cock thrones above all other figures of the fountain and is said to represent the french occupation (20 years from 1794 to 1814).
This is a joint work together with Yannick Flaskamp

COCK by Mike Bartlett is a theatre production presented by Buds Theatre Company and directed by Rayann Condy. It had shown at Singapore DRAMA CENTRE, BLACK BOX at 10 -12 MAY 2012.
My team and I had involved creating the projections mapping visual effects for the transitions during the play. The concept for the visual was based on the idea that the set reflects the john’s mind, the protagonist of the play, in the style of wire frame, with waves signifying the passing of time and explodes and implodes representing sexual activity and so on. All the visual effects are done by using open source software called Processing.

Pheasant (/ˈfɛzənt/) refers to several genera within the subfamily Phasianinae, of the family Phasianidae in the order Galliformes.
Pheasants are characterised by strong sexual dimorphism, males being highly ornate with bright colours and adornments such as wattles and long tails. Males are usually larger than females and have longer tails. Males play a part in rearing the young. Pheasants typically eat seeds and some insects.
The best-known is the common pheasant, which is widespread throughout the world in introduced feral populations and in farm operations. Various other pheasant species are popular in aviaries, such as the golden pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus).
This ring-necked pheasant cock is proclaiming is patch of the prairie grass. Unfortunately for him, I don't see any hens in sight.
You know how you're supposed to use the week between Xmas and New Year to get around to stuff you wanted to do but didn't yet?
Well, putting a picture of this soup on the interpipes was one of mine. Note the UK currency price sticker - we bought it before we moved over to Ireland, and yes I did spend about €1 on this purely for the adolescent lulz. Sue me.
