Art is a tricky one. Hard to think of something that sits in the sweetspot between blindingly obvious and far too difficult.

Yep, that's what I struggle with, the only thing I have come up with so far is:

Which artist designed the iconic logo for the Chupa Chups confectionary brand.

Dali isn't it?

Good question.

Could go with which artist painted Salvador Mundi - the most expensive painting ever sold. Bonus point for guessing to the nearest £10 million how much it sold for.

Could also ask for the name of the scupltor who designed the Angel of the North.

Dali is spot on, nice work

the Salvador Mundi painter is a great question ($450.3m 'kin el)

Apologies Rick, have given it some thought but can't come up with any questions. Here are some answers though:
John Steinbeck
John Irving
Alabama
Samuel Coleridge Taylor
Was actually a woman
Sebastian Flyte

Names of famous cats?

Can never remember the name but I'm fairly sure it's the one who wrote Neighbour of Zero.

Fist!

God that feels good.

Glad you enjoyed your fist, 'fly. Kind of Rick to share them around.

Well done Super. Well seized fist.

Haven't seen much of the Taylormen today, Galts. They must feel shattered. Sensitive little petals.

I think they're having an emergency meeting now that they've been exposed. Working out new tactics or identities. One thing's for sure though, they'll be back.

Fist, always like to spread the joy.

Suddenly sicond.

How's it going, Rick? Were you busy working on the Penski file yesterday?


Got this email from my Mum today

Subject: Snake warning and Construction Quotations


Dear Fellow Owners

Please be aware that there may be snakes around in the garden!

At the meeting last night it was mentioned that a black snake had been seen on the croquet lawn. Although Ruth called a snake catcher they could not get here for an hour by which time the snake had gone back into the bushes.

I was working in another office arguing with a major software company over a minor point, the usual.

You well?

Yes I'm well thanks mate. Hot day here. Lots of smoke haze.

Just firing up the barbie... I feel like some chops and sausages right now.

More of a mist haze here, just had warm roll with some soup for breakfast, an odd choice but I find it perfect for starting the day.

As I have mentioned a few times on here, this is my favorite time of the year, the colours are wonderful.

Think all social media needs to be avoided with the GE coming up. Would not like to be an OT mod.

I would suggest finding the General Election 2019 account that it appears Monty Panesar is running. I just find it baffling; no spin jokes though.

I will probably just stay away TBH, flipper.

But why is Monty Panesar now doing political interviews? I need answers, rick. When will Alex Tudor show me his GE2019 projections? What does Matt Prior think of tactical voting?

All great questions, maybe Darren Gough will answer them in his political hour on talksport.

Fist come fist served.

Happy all saints day, Peej, sick.

Thanks mate. You're a saint.

Tird today! Go me!

How are we all today?

Any interesting plans for the weekend?

Good thanks, and sort of. Going to watch Book of Mormon, not sure if it's one Julius wrote or not.

Flipper's gone all Colonel Jessup on the rugby forum.

That was post 777 Galted.
As we all know, chmod 777 gives everyone access to a file or folder in Linux.

I did not know that...

How was the book of Mormon? I enjoy most of Parker/Stone stuff.

Fist.

Sicond.

Scots arriving soon. All valuables and furniture glued/nailed down.

You should be fine with the Scots, mate, barring the booze and the deep fryer.

Good weekend?

yeah... OK.

Commiserations on the rugby. Didn't really expect that result. SA really turned up though.

So are you saying I should keep my chocolates under lock and key.. Mars Bars in particular?

SA played a blinder, we didn't, fair play to them.

And cream eggs

Thanks for the heads-up.

Morning all.

Highly recommend Book of Mormon, very funny. Lolling out loud in real life is beneath me but I did smile for most of it, even beamed at times.

I'm not Gay.

JuliusHMarx wrote:I'm not Gay.

That byrnes.

I feel mighty young for not understand that Colonel Jessup reference. About as much fun as watching Galted and Rowley flirting on Twitter.

Agree on Book of Mormon, great fun. Been twice

If only you could see how p*ssed off my missus gets you'd understand my deep gratitude to Rowley.

She'd rather believe that Paxman has the wrong answer in front of him than accept that I'm right.

Antipodean morning sicond.

The Scots love it here. Just got a question on recycling.... and a compliment on the backyard.
My ears are slowly adjusting. I can understand about 90% of what they are saying now - compared to about 70% last night.

Rick, you were right. Chocolates, biscuits and beer everywhere on the kitchen bench top.

It's only really the smackheads who steal and they aren't renowned for their jetsetting.

If you want to understand all of what they say you should drink about fifteen cans of Tennents Super a day.

Aye they're not a bad bunch, the Scots, until they sober up, but that won't happen so you're good.

Fist!

Sicond! I'm the England of culture/morning tea.

I don't want to be Raf...

True - I've been in a steady state of inebriation since I was 14.

I have possibly witnessed it, supes...

Milton f*cking Keynes.

What's up? All Ok? Or is it just the travel involved?

just the travel - the 3 miles to the motorway can take 25-30 mins in the evening. I had a short cut of 15 mins, but they've closed off a road for roadworks.
