A Couple of Photos

Here's a couple of photos (well three to be exact) that I've been meaning to add to the blog for some time. Firstly there's one of Loz looking like a bit of a rock star, be it an ageing one but a rock star none the less. I asked Mel to take a look at the photo (because he knows a thing or two about this sort of thing) and tell me if he thought Loz did in fact look like a rock star. He took a look at the picture, paused for a few moments then said; "Yes, Status Quo". I'm not sure that's a good or a bad thing.



The next picture is of Gaz's garage.... a bit rock and roll in its own right. It's a man's garage, a garage full of boys toys, a garage equipt to put a spaceship on the moon. Or on the day I took the photo, a garage equipt to make emergency repairs to my boat trailer.



And last but by no means least I give you a preview of Bob's Turner Prize entry. Fuelled by alcohol, I lot of thought and reasoning went into this latest creation. It's titled "Tobacco Tree" and if you look closely the reason becomes obvious. The piece of art is a thought provoking masterpiece touching on several key political issues, not least the escalating growth rate of taxes on tobacco and the controversial decision to ban smoking from public places. Bob prides himself on using biodegradable items for his artwork. This years winner of the Turner Prize will be revealed on the 3rd December and I'd like to wish Bob the very best of luck in the competition.

Looks like the garage needs a woman's touch, I could streamline the junk down so that it all fitted in a cupboard under the stairs leaving lots of space for a garage conversion to a utility room. Gimme a shout when your ready to start Gaz!

It's definitely worth a place in the Tate Modern.

That goes for the tree, as well.

No man's garage has ever or will ever require a womans touch, it is our place of solitude, inner peace and complete dis-order

Loz, if you could only see my beautiful garage complete with washing machine tumble drier, walking machine, exercise bike, weights bench and even a blind on the window. It smells of lenor and persil. All so calming. I don't mind helping you and Gaz achieve such perfection!

The woman is a heathen....do not be tempted by such womanly ways men......before you know it they will want the floors carpeted and dado rails on every wall...then....and oh yes then....they will want the one thing all men are shaken to the core by....the mother-in-law moving into the now garage-cum-granny flat........NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

P.S, before anyone else says it, yes im well aware of the "garage-cum-granny" innuendo, as loz has got the DVD.....;)
