I'm sorry, but am I the only person who gets really annoyed off with our government pissing money down the drain on ridiculous wastes of money like this.

Not only do we have to subsidise the bloody Olympics to the tune of Billions of pounds, but if that isn't enough the F-ing North London arty farty set need to get their snouts in the trough too, convincing some minor public official that something like this is a valid artistic statement and justifies it's price tag. The money spent on rubbish like this could without any doubt whatsoever keep a good few unemployed families in housing for a year or two or for that matter a few squaddies in decent accommodation rather than the rat infested hovels they are issued with at the moment.

Sometime I think this country is going collectively balmy!

Other highlights are. . . .

Three 30ft lions will be hand-crocheted and displayed in a huge taxidermy-style case in Nottingham.

An environmentally sustainable watermill will be created to float on the River Tyne

Alex Hartley will bring an island he discovered in the High Arctic in 2004 to the South West of England.

Coventry icon Lady Godiva will be recreated as a gigantic human puppet

Anthony McCall's Column will form a slender, sinuous, spinning column of cloud rising into the sky from the surface of the water in Merseyside

Don't believe me?

You couldn't make this crap up!!

ignorant gits, they where leopards used on the heraldic flags of richard the lion heart (and on the modern royal flags) not lions.

Not a fan of the arts then Mark?

I completely agree with you though, but remember we are the ones a fault 'cause we pay tradesmen cash in hand.....

As Frankie Boyle said recently on another but similar 'morality' issue, on which the Govt saw fit to comment "of course these things are immoral - we need that money as tax to buy missiles to fire into the homes of sheperds"

On the up side, at least the Edinburgh festival is about to start, so I'll have 4 weeks of pretentious arty twats getting in my way and clogging up the streets. It'll stop them haning busses of your public buildings.

Are your Olympics over yet?

C'mon surely everyone loves a London bus that can do push-ups.

The Italian Job day sounds like fun, once again I regtret being 18,000 km away.

A Czech artist has re-modelled a traditional London double-decker bus into a mechanical sculpture of an athlete doing push-ups to celebrate the Olympic Games opening in the British capital on Friday.....

The seller can only be the bearded eastern european car lover from Practical Classics.

the blue duple used to belong to the guy i bought my six wheeler from, in fact the cream wheels in the pictures came from mine!


its a shame to see it looking so rough, it was shabby when i saw it last, but still had all its glass.

i do wonder if the same guy delivered it who delivered mine to me.

he was cheap, but a bedford val was about 3" too long for his low loader, not a problem to him as he simply rammed the hydraulic ramps into the back of them........it didnt do much to improve the back end of mine either.......
