Call that art?

It’s nice to see the ‘ancient art of painting’ is alive and well.

The Other Half and I went to the Lexmark European Art Prize UK finalists’ exhibition last night for some free wine and food. Oh and to see exciting new works by the cream of British artists!

Mostly, the pictures were bollocks but there was three I liked. My favourite was mostly orange with what looked liked a shed shelf sketched across the middle.

The rest looked like GCSE projects. It’s amazing what passes for talent these days.

When we got home we tuned into our new favourite TV channel Ftn.

Last night it was Most Haunted with Derek Corah but my particular favourite is Sixth Sense with Colin Fry.

Derek wanders round haunted sites with Yvette Fielding talking to ghosts (last night he was particularly upset by some evil bastards in former prison The House Of Detention).

Colin’s show is more emotional. He converses with the spirit world to pass on messages to his studio audience – cue lots of real tears and reliving private grief in public.

Funny how the dead are always really concerned about their old tea services and the like, rather than passing on any information which is actually of some use!
