But is it? who decides if it's 'art' and worth thousands or vandalism and worth punishment? Not all art is chocolate box pretty, Jackson Pollock springs to mind with his multicoloured paint splashes, Munch and his 'Scream' - worth millions but looks like a seven year old painted it. Mondrian, simple geometric shapes yet again worth a fortune. Tracy Emin's bed and the most famous of all Picasso - do any of them really deserve the pretentious claptrap heaped on them? If someone can spray paint a stencil of a girl on someones wall and get away with it, a yob must be equaly entitled to make

Raises the question that's been asked before, is art, or defacement of someones property? Is the black spray paint any less 'art' than the stencil of the girl?

And spoilt the strippergrams day!...

I've always liked the clock, I saw it when first installed and quite frankly the workmanship left a bit to be desired. It worked but was very 'wobbly', no wonder it took so much looking after.

Ask those with jobs at risk and they'll say lift the restrictions and let nature take it's course. Ask those of a certain age and at risk and they'll say damn the young, they only stand to lose a job, not their life, and in time will get over it. I agree with the idea RR but still can't see how we protect the vulnerable without making them prisoners.

I'm pleased to hear that PP but you do have penchant for tempting fate don't you?

A comment from our resident Philistine (me), " I can't tell the difference"!...

Coke and Pepsi... delicious. Macdonalds, take away the 'grot' leaving just a plain burger and bun is virtually tasteless.

Well I am facing South... --------------------------------------------- It seems I'm wrong... again! I have had a notice that there are 200+ NEW REPLIES. It appears in a black rectangle and invites me to click to go to the first post. Clicking does not take you to the first of 200+ posts, I wish my brain was in gear, I could have taken a screenshot...

That's correct, I meant the other right...

I've seen it quite a few times Margie, I've always put it down to a glitch in the forum software but digging around it seems Invision totals the replies. Look carefully, it doesn't say NEW replies only that a particular topic has over 200, thus 200+ replies. You'll see it under theTwitter, Facebook icons bottom right of the screen in this topice..

I see it on the PC Margie so your phone is innocent!

I think it was totally predictable that an influx of 60,000 bodies from around the globe would have this effect, to expect anything less is naive in the extreme.

" Glad I live in a village and away from the Cities. " was a bit like tempting fate... As you say bummer! ...

It could still be a rhetorical question asking if 'what' rhymes with orange...

I'm in the money... I'm in the money, come on, my honey let's spend it, lend it, send it rolling along. First time in weeks, bought a lucky dip.... £30 thank you very much..

It's a bit sad really when you get so desperate for a drink you make up a fake identity and lie just to get in a pub.

Now Miss is going to shout at you this time BK, it's Rime, not rhyme, of the Ancient Aariner.... ...

The boy stood on the burning deck... As a school boy I liked The Listeners but modern so called poetry leaves me cold, most seems pretentious nonsense. Why... when reading po... etry Do we need to speak... sotto voce And does, this slow... and strange cadence make up for lack... of making sense

Actually I don't see a feral apostrophe in my bit... Now if you are referring to the Arnold quote and his supposedly wonderfull use of English....

Thunder crashes from rock To rock, the cataracts reply, Lightning’s dazzle our eyes. Apparently not ! Disjointed, discordant, metaphysical nonsense.

Sadly successive government screw ups mean we have more of a problem with waste than most other nuclear nations.

Philistaine that I am all I read was a lot of obscure one line sentences that make no sense and seem to have no relationship with previous or following lines. Quite honestly I thought it a load of nonsense, couldn't get past the third verse... Sorry Margie...

Sounds good RR but can you define 'safeguard the vulnerable' whilst allowing everyone not vulnerable going about their daily business?
