The BT Artbox Story
The good old British phone box was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott to commemorate King
George V’s Silver Jubilee.
This year we’ve got a Diamond Jubilee and London 2012 to look forward to, so we decided we needed to do something to celebrate.
That something turned into BT ArtBox. It’s a campaign that thrives on the nation’s artistic talent.
Across London’s streets you’ll find replicas of the Gilbert Scott phone box, transformed by the
imaginations of some of our very best creative minds.
Then later on we’ll be auctioning all the boxes off to raise money for ChildLine’s 25th anniversary.

“The Poetry of Life”
Artist: The DnA Factory
Location: Old Spitalfield’s Market

This sweet scent of memory,
green hills and pleasant seems
the cool dew in distant dreams of birdsong,
nostalgia bathes the scene,
And my heart belongs to thee.

Within this soft and satin world
these tears will dry and leave no stain,
as rain implores the sun
to kiss your hair, your face and hands
a feather’s touch upon the skin.

Of diamond edge and gilt refrain
a pledge of life and love,
to the follower of dusty trails
across the sea, the land, the sky
the Seeker seeks and so will Find.

Mighty as the Queen of Bees
gold dust heavy on silver wings
a diamond hard, will cut it seems
fair and foul and fair again
uphold the laws of majesty.

We journey long, as far as eyes can see
beyond which, time is light and air
all full to brimming through Englands green,
rose tint in the mirror sheen
romance the fire and melody.

Of suns rise and sets full
moons and stars all things forgot
just look beyond the here and now
the dream is all, safe and warm
in hope, for peace and charity of soul.

For here is Life and Love and All You Ever Dreamed Of.

Question by DumptyHumpy: What do you think is causing ccd (Colony collapse disorder)?
My guess is that there is too much pollution in the plants (air,water,soil) from global warming and then the bees die from that
What are your thoughts on this, i heard in a documetory that loosing bees is worse than global warming plants need to be pollinated to have sex and humans would not do a good job at that

  1. I think it’s probably a combination of things. Pesticides on the plants, air pollution, global warming and temp changes and possibly even related to all the “radio waves” and electronic “background pollution” screwing them up.

    It is scary. I invite anyone who lives in a rural or even semi-rural area (if they are allowed) to raise their own bees.
