MINI face, DAF face and another transatlantic face.

Good afternoon,

Friend of the blog Joshua Ebeling has come up with another good one from QVC...

Would you want this many faces staring at you while you shower?

In work I was replacing something which involved taking the steering wheel off a truck (Daf LF if you want to know). When I whipped the steering wheel centre cover off I was greeted by this worried looking face...

Then, on the same truck, I was doing something with the mirror and was being watched by this big nosed chap...

Another Daf based one is this alien, blowing down...

I had a little problem with the door lock on my car so took it apart, and look who was looking back at me when I took the handle off...

Nice hat...Then his big nosed mate appeared...

Now, if you follow my twitter, IanJTyrer, you may have noticed I've finally started going to the gym again, in there I spotted this cheeky chimp on the back of a recumbent bike...

A visit to TK Maxx and my wandering around their cheap tools lead me to stumble across this...

I've no idea what it is, but it is a face, and that's all that matters.

Donations Galore and a bonus moustache

Well, it has been a while, so where do I start... I think I will go with my spots first.

We had a bit of an incident in work, and while mooching around afterwards I came across this poor guy being sick...

and then I spotted his moustachioed mate outside...

While I was doing my weekly shop I found a little entertainment in the form of a load of rabbits on the shelf...

Now a face inspired by someone on twitter's profile picture. Chris M Green has this as his profile picture...

She is looking pretty angry there (nice dress though). It inspired me to go and look at my ironing board, amazingly, my ironing board also looked pissed off but surely not because of the spotty dress...

Another couple of donations came from over the Atlantic, Joshua Ebeling tweeted this pic of these sleepy looking chaps, the one in the middle looks like it has got a sore eye...

The other Trans-Atlantic donations came from Gary W Norman, The Bearded Gent he sent me these...

Neither of these have beards, but if you like a beard go to http://beardedgents.com

Microwaves

On one of our Mini Adventures, this one to Brands Hatch for some truck racing, we stayed in a little hotel, just as I stepped out of the shower I was greeted by this person with their tongue hanging out...

While in a break in the racing I was on twitter and I was alerted to this happy looking microwave...

Which then caused me to discover this disturbed looking microwave...

There is something about this ones eyes... 

but I think it is blowing me a kiss, or whistling.

Thanks for reading, and thanks to Richard Wiseman and Ian Wilson for their contributions.

Happy model and an unhappy cassette.

Well it has been a while, but I have a couple more little faces I have spotted.

First one I noticed while watching a television show called Supermodels. No it isn't presented by Tyra Banks and has nothing to do with models in the human sense. It is actually about the weird world of making things in miniature, this specific programme is about making a large scale jet engined model of a Boeing C-17 Globemaster III. As I was watching I spotted this happy little face peering out at me...

The second face I spotted was when we got a new phone for the house, it has a built in answer machine. The symbol for the answer machine is the stereotypical cassette tape. I have never took much notice before so I'm not sure if they all look the same but I was greeted by this unhappy little fellow looking back at me. Maybe it is unhappy because it has missed a call...

Thanks for reading.

Air con

A little trip to the Trafford Centre for some Jelly Belly jelly beans (the best ever) caused me to stumble across this happy looking air conditioning unit...

Here is a photo donated by @lib_anator, it is something on the wall in her house...

Tool faces

After my plea for others to send me some faces, I have received one from my friend Sarah, it is a rather shocked looking photocopier in her office.....

I have also spotted a couple of faces that were staring right at me, and have been for years, one is this electrical wire stripper....

I like his spring uni-brow.

Another electrical tool isn't quite a face, but looks like some kind of alien monster...

That is all for now.

Twit Twoo

Just the one for now, a happy owl...

It is actually the back cover of an alternator on a truck.

Thanks for looking.

It has been a slow week of exploring the world, looking out for faces. I am desperate to spot a face somewhere in nature, or in a cloud, but as of yet I have been unsuccessful. I've spotted other body parts in trees... but no faces :(

Back in my first post I had a picture of the sleepy motorcycle face...

 Sadly this face came to an untimely end and now looks like this...

Very sad, so sad in fact that this truck part even looks a bit upset...

That is what's called an 'oil module' it is where the oil filters and oil cooler live on a truck. (Bit of unecessary information there)

Since I stumbled across this blog http://laurababb.wordpress.com/2011/09/02/how-to-be-an-explorer-faces/ I have been keeping my eyes peeled a bit more than usual, looking out for faces. 

Hopefully, if anyone is actually reading this, you are enjoying the fruits of my exploring, and maybe feel a little inspired to look out for faces in unexpected places yourself. If you have any you have taken, or seen on-line let me know, either send me a tweet or an EMAIL with the link or the image and I'll post it here.

Thanks for reading.

Saturday afternoon faces

Now I'm actively looking for faces in things I seem to be seeing them everywhere.

This little toothbrush moustachioed chap is the interior lights in a van I was in last night...

When I got back into the workshop, doing my paper work, I spotted this beady eyed duck on the desk in the office...

Now for my first picture that I didn't actually take, mainly because I don't own, or know anyone who does own a Fiat Multipla, check out the monkey face on the heater vents...

Fiat Multipla monkey dash

Happy pie...

Looking through some of my old photos and I stumbled across these;

Years ago, every Thursday, I used to visit my nan and granddad and have a Pimbletts meat and potato pie (and various other cakes). One time I spotted this slightly surly looking pie...

Felt a bit bad eating him, I mean, look at his rosy cheeks, but... he was just so tasty...

Another Thursday pie shop visit brought me this terribly happy pie...

Sadly, neither Pimbletts or my Nan and Granddad are around any more, but the search for happy pies goes on.

Here is another work place face, this is a bucket of antifreeze with a light skin of old engine oil on it, (don't ask why) I walked past and instantly thought of that mask from the film Scream, but with a beauty spot. I remember this bucket well actually, for some reason it had been left in the corner of the workshop, but every time I walked past it there was a slightly different face looking out. This was the best of all the pictures I have of it. People in work were talking about me too as every time I walked past I took a photograph.

The search for faces will always go on.

Some unexpected faces

After seeing many faces in machines and the like I have decided to document them in a blog.

Some of you may have already seen these, and all are photographed by me. If I didn't take the photograph I will give a link to where I found it.

Lets start with a couple of old ones, these are from the inside of an air compressor on a small (7.5 tonne) truck...

                                                                        'smile'

                                                                           'shocked'

This is a slightly sad looking box in Sainsbury's....

This one is a hand brake valve lever on a truck...

This one is a rather sleepy looking motorbike engine...

Last one for today, an exploded diagram of the engine in my lawnmower... looks a bit alarmed to me, maybe because its scalp has been removed....
