Blur : Mr Whippy



                          
Caramel Lonesome seat


House of cards

In the darkest days
from Fitzrovia to Tiananmen square
I learned to live minute by minute
appreciating the finer qualities of life

because we are a rarity

Now we can't afford our house of cards
and you can't get back
Hammersmith Palais was a brother
to The Astoria
now I just ignore yer

Crossrail
and the baby boomers will be neutered

And I get this funny feeling
with Russian Bears looking down from the ceiling
how we forgot Cold War conformity

Oh it's a House of Cards
we gamble away our livelihoods
Greenbelt land for sale
Tax the air
Download our DNA

let's build a thousand Shards
in our backyard
a monument to obscenity

because we are a rarity

the future has been sold
we are a rarity
as we grow old
reduced to a commodity
living in our House of Cards

we are a rarity

State of Play is David’s fourth exhibition at the Poly. Featuring his familiar oil paintings, from postcard size to large canvas’s of both figurative, seascapes and abstract.

Post Bedroom Tax Exhibition

Thirty people came to view over the pop-up weekend art event..many thanks to Mary Fletcher for the initial proposal and to Alice Mahoney of CMR.
    3000 people have lost the use of their cars from motorbility.co.uk because of new governmental measures. At £2000 each that's £6,000,000 equal to a bonus of an HSBC executive. www.itv.com/news/2015-03-13/disability-cuts-start-to-bite-those-who-need-it-most/

Spectre : Bank Holiday Bond

Buffalo Stance II  
Back in early Feb Blenheim was the setting for new scenes for Bond in Spectre. The film crew got to the location just before the re-opening of the Ai Weiwei  show (14th Feb - 26th April) and which I'd managed to view last year (post 27/11) The production then moved on to Rome...post knee op Daniel Craig will be back at Pinewood.
