--------------------- A bijou coffee table in Walthamstow, Sunday. It has been cleared of the usual debris, though a speck of mashed potato still lurks viscously on the edge nearest the camera. The table itself groans under the weight of the day's purchases at the local cash and carry, all stacked up with the precision of prototype skyscrapers at an architects-on-LSD convention. There's 10 tins of mackerel, looming over the militaristic rows of deodorant and shaving cream. The soft lines of half a dozen stacked cans of tuna are offset by the neo-futurist form of 4 and a half litres of scarily blue Fairy liquid. A massive monolith of fabric conditioner dominates the image, and in its shadow scampering bags of stuffed pasta cavort innocently with shiny new razor blades. A receipt lies on top of the impassive and unliftable roll of black binbags, already fraying and unravelling. On a sofa in the background there's the blurred shape of a girl, looking slightly embarrassed at her ex-boyfriend's concept of bargain hunting. --------------------- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
