So glad it was me that tagged you! I just knew you'd be very interesting, and nothing in your list was a surprise to me at all, so I must have got you well sussed already!
Apart from the fact that you haven't been chased upstairs by a nymphomaniac yet, obviously.
Rolf Harris?
The rest of it I dig. Man.
That should have read 'again' on the nympho line....
Rolf, top bloke, interesting mush, no doubt.
(Big love to you both). x
*eyes mr horse, then the stairs*
giddy up
Glad to hear all went well on Saturday, and a very interesting list Knifepainter!I can go with Rolf, but Basement Jaxx!! Get some StoneSour man, they ROCK! The threedee gig - great to see there is still yet more hidden talent coming out! I'm sure we met her in the Plover one night!?
Take it easy my friend,
G
Glad the opening went well. Sorry I couldn't be there. I will not miss Open Studios next year!
As for your tag list, I have an observation.....
Artist, Yes! Selfish, no!
Probably one of the most generous blokes I know. It is the source of some pride that you are my brother.
Missing the White Stripes off your music list though....That I may not be able to forgive....
Re; "you haven't been chased upstairs by a nymphomaniac yet" Really, Has your better half read that statement?
And I wonder who prompted this? ... Of course I can paint it again in colours that match your sofa
bring it on....pretty much with you on all those things (except unlike you, my painting is shite, not fit to be called painting)
i have been chased DOWN the stairs by a nymphomanic('s brother.)
have seen U2 & the cure this year. both were awesome.
Kitty, "whinny" (like a horse).
Photog, we did see her, I can't get the image out of my head. Oh and stop listening to that stuff, it'll rot your head.
Bruv, thanks for the compliments, deliberated over The Stripes, on balance had to go with Town Called Malice.
Snapper, hahaha.....you know I wouldn't have put up with that from anyone but you !
Laughing Boy, glad us old fella's are still represented at good gigs. We live a bit far from the big venues here.
