Flash Fellas & Mad Men

Sorry I’ve been a bit slack with the blog lately but to be honest with winter defiantly making its presence felt, getting ‘out & about’ is harder than normal…& lets face it I am pretty lazy.
Just to give a bit of an update, sponsorship is still on the cards but is taking longer than expected due to a staffing freeze at CRUK.
Also to get a few extra folds in my back pocket, I’m working the odd Saturday for ‘Aussie Man & Van’. They’re a removal company so basically I’m just doing what I’ve done for mates moving flats for years but get paid more than a couple of beers for it. I jumped behind the wheel last Saturday which was ….fun after not driving for about 4 years & then looking after a 3.5 tonne truck, but all that bloody farm work dad made me do as a kid kicked in & I didn’t crash or run anything over while I was reversing….Cheers Pops.
A couple of weeks ago I popped along to an art exhibition celebrating 60 year of British art at the Hayward Gallery. The main reason I went was for this great British artist Bridget Riley, who I saw in the Sydney Mod Art Gallery. Her works would remind anyone who has dabbled when they were younger of more ‘interesting’ times. Unfortunately there was only the one piece by her & it was only about 1m x 1m compared to the works I saw in Sydney which were up to around 5m by 10m. Still there was some very cool stuff there by other artists but yet again no postcards of them in the gift shop. I just don’t get the stuck up sales assistants in gallery gift shops, it’s almost like they are toying with me.
Also on the Sunday just been Craig & I checked out Speaker’s Corner in Hyde Park. I have been meaning to get there for ages & now that I have been….I’m going again this weekend!!
It’s great with the Muslims, Jews & Christians battling it out against the ‘Atheist Christian’ (No I couldn’t work that one out either) & the ‘We are all God & all religions & atheists are right’ guy (I think you have to be able to contradict yourself to be a speaker). Rounded off with the guy who is a ‘T24’ sent back in time (This is in reference to the terminator movies (The yes I know they were T800, T1000s etc)) & the guy who was explaining that all diseases came from the White man & if there were only Black people in the world it would be an Eden…Oww & having relations with a white person was the same as having relations with sheep…..nice guy. Sorry the pub calls …..Photos to follow
