The Rolling Maul thing at CAG’s place on Madras
Have just looked that up. Opposite the end of Ash St?
And Jonathan Smart's now in Linwood?
Thanks for the heads up. :-)

On the internet, no one knows you're a sheep.

I'm interested that the skull is impressive in the...flesh, though, Graham.
Man, it'd be nice to have an art gallery to go to....

Speaker: Damien Hirst: the dollars and sense?, in reply to JacksonP,
I guess when you think about it the sale of The Scream for $119.9m (£74m) to a private collector, who will probably put it in their bedroom, never to be seen again, seems to speak to the same problem.
I doubt Munch got much for it, though! It’s usually the collectors who make money from art, rarely the artists. Think of poor old van Gogh, who sold one painting only in his lifetime, to his brother, and who lived in poor and miserable circumstances. Since his death, collectors are trading his work for so many millions…
I’m not a fan of Hirst, I think his work is shallow and trivial. But I admire his chutzpah.
I think Hirst will be remembered for making money rather than for being creative...it’d be nice if the two weren’t mutually exclusive!

the way north Americans - in particular - watch TV. There is very little "appointment viewing"
What of Hulu? Your favourite shows just when you want them?

a self take in the hall mirror
Nice one!
And that mirror must help avoid hallway traffic collisions, too...

But thanks a bunch for the U2 cover! :-) Am managing to type this between sobs of hilarity.
