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 Hey Potato: Where can I buy 2 young sheep for pets in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada?
I am looking for 2 young sheep, male or female, any colour in Edmonton Alberta Canada. I want them as pets for my and my sis.
Can you help? Leave your own answer in the comments!
While Edmonton is on the list of vile places to own dogs (what with their ridiculous breed-specific legislation), you can’t keep sheep (or any other livestock) in Edmonton, or any other Canadian city.
In Edmonton, a large animal is one that is defined as not a domestic dog nor cat, and over 10kg when fully grown (and also not poultry, bees, poisonous snakes, reptiles, or insects). The young of large animals are also prohibited. In short, no sheep in Edmonton.
If you live outside Edmonton, local municipal ordinances will dictate land use and zoning, plus the standard of care.
If you live in a rural area, and can provide a responsible, ethical, legal home for sheep, the best place to get a sheep as a pet is from livestock auctions. Instead of a pet-raised animal which will always have a good home, you can save one from slaughter, by bidding on a lamb that is about to go to slaughter. Check local livestock auction announcements, or contact a livestock veterinarian (as opposed to a small animal vet., who’ll have no clue about livestock auctions).
You can donate money to virtually foster a real, live sheep that has been rescued from a factory farm. There are countless such farm sanctuaries around.
