    I'm not sure about Banksy. He is clever at superimposing things onto pictures that are not of his making and then stencilling them on a wall - but is that art? Is what he does any more worthy than dozens of other 'street artists' who, as Mr Mayfield said. show real talent but choose to display it in the wrong place? at least what they do is all their own work. Now days we look down on the advert for Pears soap that used Millais' picture of a child blowing bubbles as being kitsch - is Banksy girl with a balloon any different? In a world where unmade beds, piles of bricks and dead anim
  4. There you go! see, they are interesting!..
  5. Ah but a picture of a man serving mushy peas is just that, no more to be said. A picture of a wooden post however raises many interesting points for discussion. Lets see; is it a post or a stake? maybe its a paling or even a pole. When does a stake become a post and when does a post become a pole? These are things we should be told.
  6. One of the lads at the Clifton church youth club had one. We waited until he was ready to drive off then picked the back end up so he went nowhere. Rotten sods that we were he had to promise a ride in it before we let him go.
  7. I met young Asian girl (18) some years ago (long story) who's father was a race relations officer. She told me they couldn't be racist because they were Asian. It has been instilled into her that only whites are racist. She was not allowed Caucasian friends and males where untouchable. His reasoning? He was defending their culture... now where have I heard that before...
  8. Perhaps you could look at using Teamviewer (it's free) and someone can physically watch/show you how it's done...
  9. Thanks to all. Although one tries to be a bit blasé about it, it is a relief to have official confirmation.

  12. Thank you nonna. No need they say. They seem quite confident that due to catching it so early it has gone and not metastasised.
  13. My memories are a little less savoury. A cable fault put one of the towers out and I had a crew there repairing it when some dirty sod decided that peeing on them from halfway way up was a good idea. I sent the guys home and was quite busy the next day before i got around to sending them back.
  14. Progress; the claim is in and a long conversation is now on the go. It seems Halifax hand over claims to claim management company. After jumping through the various hoops we came to the personal injury section. 'Can you lean back, bend to the side, put your shin on your chest without pain'? 'No no no. there is no injury'. 'Ah but the stress of having an accident may take time to show blah blah blah'. I told her that I'm feeling very uncomfortable and she appears to pressuring me to make a claim and that it would fraudulent were I to do so. Was that the end of it?, no, I now have till
  15. Not a good start so far. Saturday went to London to consult with a surgeon about implants. Set of without the e-mail print out, oh dear, bad omen?. Stopped at a service station on M1 for a meal but it was rammed, chock full with supporters going to the Man City game. Found a parking space well away from everyone else and trotted off. Place was heaving so ordered a burger (is that 'to go' sir?) and took it back to my car. There's a damn great SUV parked so close opening the door was difficult, nearside OK so sat in there to eat. Halfway through said burger SUV takes off, turned too
