So, what is it then? It's outside the Royal Bank of Scotland offices in Bristol and it certainly seems to have arrows reminiscent of the RBS logo.

Maybe they made it with the residue of the RBS meltdown at the beginnning of 2009?

Anyway, I took this on a rare lunchtime break from the challenge of editing sports pages - a one-off secondment to cover for a severe staffing shortage.

I say sports, but in our part of the world that can mean acres of material about skittles, with its 'beavers', 'flatners' and 'strikes'. Completely baffling, but it seems the majority of our readership just love it.

Then there were 1,726 words of table tennis to fit a hole for about 400. Lovely!

But you can have a lot of fun editing sports stories and, in particular, writing their headlines. Desperate Dan and 'C' breeze both featured and the Railway skittles side were inevitably 'on track'.

Well, it's the weekend. It's been a depressing past few days. The bad news of yesterday has, unfortunately, got worse, my dad's also got new health problems and then today there were the deaths of Malcolm Allison and Simon MacCorkindale.

Let's hope there's good news round the corner.
