Pots of fun

Distracted by waiting for drops of pitch to fall, we’ve been neglecting your fine examples of boring webcams. Mik Towse, at ATB, recommends the Lobster Cam, where you can watch an empty lobster trap (‘This will be dark at night and muddy when the ocean is really rough…’). They put pictures on the site to show you that at least once in 1999, something happened: http://www.thelobstercam.com/.
Also try the webcam at FS Hot (‘Turning dreams into reality’), which looks across a boring street to a boring house. We shouldn’t encourage these people, but if you have time on your hands, watching http://fshot.co.uk/ will fill you with self-loathing. Thanks to Anthony Ashton, at Sherrington Law.

The Lobster Cam appears to be down, the image simply has the infamous red X.
