I object to drinking with the working classes, or people with less money than me. Or people who are over 40.
Drinking on the street is objectional and uncouth -- unless it's the Nobel. And alcoholism isn't an illness it's just an excuse for being …
Cheers Ali! There was a great exhibition of his art 'n' shit at the Dulwuch Picture Gallery around 2002 when I got beaten up on that bus.
Ali is my favourite Stroud Greener, actually. Wonder if we know each other in real life?
I'm sitting at home…
"is he worth investigating?" I honestly can't answer that. You'd be interested in that he's self-taught and experiments (or used to experiment) in all mediums: tempera, oils, etching, watercolour, etc. His work is -- as he admits himself -- kitch, a…
Ah, yes. Skeletons on horses riding -- bloody hell, that's that bastard Breugel again. He's really pissing me off now. Sod off, Pietre!
Are you familiar with some of the work of 70s illustrator Patrick Woodroffe?
He's not as good as you.
Mrs. Annie, a toilet would look out of place in one of dear old Heironymous's paintings on account if it being anachronistic. You should know better. However, I'm curious to know more about this Flemish-inspired lavatory you visited with a child. We…
Person who has the last word wins the thread. You also win all the intelligence of the previous posters. Like conkers. I'm clever than Jeremy and Arkady cos I won the Internet and will probably now transcend into some fuck-off amazing super higher-d…
I would like a badge of me being brilliant standing rampant and colossus-like over the ruins of the Internet shouting, "I win!" Below, Arkady and Misscara reach out of the ashes with olive branches.
Anyway, you're not allowed to post on this thread…
It’s a discussion forum? I thought it was the “Arkady and Misscara show” these days.
I’m wealthy, shallow, hedonistic and angry they took the benches away. Why? Because I wanted them to catch fire one day and hopefully have the pleasure of seeing…
Interestimg. My understanding is that the "Japan House" on Japan Crescent isn't the original Japan House listed on 18th Century maps. It just borrows the name and is, like the Crescent and surrounding buildings, situated in what used to be a large …
Ah... Clever.
No, alas that's a bit too subtle for me, AGDADS. I only look at the pictures, see, cos I really struggle with words -- unless they're books written by ex SAS men. I can just about manage a chapter of Dan McSteel's "Arab Scorch" witho…
I have read Jeremy Fisher's book and could find no references to mani-thingy delirium. Or froth. As far as I can tell it's about a stupid amphibian in a coat that gets swallowed by a fish.
Might have been a bit high-brow for me, though.
Jeremy. Fo…
Woodstock is one of his books, too. Never read it. And I can't be arsed Reading the rest of his stuff on the offchance a local cul-de-sac is named after it. You can, though. Cheers.
Interesting. Know very little about Japan house, except that it owned a lot of the land in the area. However, I do believe that some of the streets around the fullback were named after the works of Scottish book writer-er, Sir Walter Scott.
Hi Mister Fisher, sorry to hear about this. I thought your post was a very calm and rational response and it didn’t (to me at least) sound alarmist at all. Hope there’s no lasting damage done.
I am concerned that the posting of some recent event…
I actually went to view this property when it was for sale about 4 years ago. Beautiful tiled room. I would have bought it as an artist's studio perhaps, but it wasn't the sort of place I'd like to inhabit. There's a kitchen, bedroom and bathroom at…
