Saw two of these wee guys on the pavement. The one that was not knocked over said something like:
you have been detected and are being observed on cctv, please leave the area.
Seems quite strange to ask folk to leave a public pavement? Maybe I should have tried talking to it?
Crow road Glasgow.
@johnjohnston These things are horrible. The first one I saw was behind fence around a quarry site. I was outside the gate, but it suddenly said in an intimidating Northern Irish accent “your presence has been detected and the authorities have been informed”. I quickly left…
@MikeFromLFE @ketmorco I thought it might be an art project of some sort…
@johnjohnston “You exist. Please stop.”
@FaithfullJohn
Well someone seemed to be annoyed with the one they tipped over. I wonder if the other will last the night.
@johnjohnston their aggressive tone could be seen as asking for trouble..
@johnjohnston I think it’s been kidnapped from the location it was meant to be guarding and is dutifully guarding its new surroundings. Now, I don’t know the geography of Glasgow, but I do know that it’s likely to be term time at a university and that Glasgow has one . . .
@johnjohnston This reminds me of something… If I could remember, of what…
Can you help me? I can give you cake as a reward!
@johnjohnston

Very weird indeed. Hope it is not spraying random pedestrians!
@johnjohnston @cybergibbons needs a road cone on it
@johnjohnston
The right picture looks like one of those ectoplasm traps from the ghost busters
@johnjohnston I so badly want to disassemble and document that thing’s components. I’d totally have stolen it
