    There's that little grassy space at the end of Regent Street, last time I was there the gulls were effectively mugging people for their Greggs, hold up a sausage roll and become a real life artwork. :eek:

    For our overseas readers apart from convicted criminal, author and former politician Jeffrey Archer Weston's most famous son is author, actor and comedian John Cleese.

    I nearly forgot that Bob Hope lived there as well, but he was a baby and he also lived in Bristol, I don't believe either location was an influence on his life and career.

    just been looking at this photo going 'I know that building' & trying to work out out which ****ty bit of Weston seafront it is - turns out it's the remains of the Tropicana - it looked like this once which I vaguely remember from visits with primary school.

    As my guest list place isn't guaranteed I patiently waited for nearly two hours for the tickets to appear on sale today and have successfully booked tickets for tomorrow afternoon, should be a bit of a family outing, the weather is looking okay so hopefully I'll have some photos to post and if there are programmes I'll try and get that spare.

    The commercialism of Banksy seems a bit odd to me.

    Well...... there commercialism, and there's commercialism!
    Heck, his 'couch-gag' on "The Simpsons" could be seen as a 'sell-out' move, right?

    I'm just back, somewhat exhausted, but I had a good time and if you can get tickets it's well worth £5, I took an awful lot of photos, once I've recovered I'll upload some.

    Vince, I'll pm you later, I've got you one if you want it.:righton:

    I assume some of the art work in the 'gallery' might be a little 'much' for moderators here....
    but... I'd like to see 'em!

    I've uploaded some to Photobucket, lots more to come, I think several things would break the rules on politics so I'll not post them, here's some to be getting on with, not in any particular order.
