The only piece of contemporary art I remember hanging on the wall of the family home was a print of a painting by Rolf Harris portraying a tree in the outback sunset. I suspect it was chosen for its 1970s in vogue orange hues rather than any artistic merit. My mother was the creative one, I still remember turning up at primary school wearing a tie made from leftover lime green and yellow floral material matching the living room curtains. ? It's a miracle I didn't grow up to be a serial killer. Edited May 6, 2023 by Iceni warrior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know of someone flying in for the Leafs game there, today and staying 1 week for Wed's game. Unless, they got around it, it appears Florida has opened the gates. All that money wasted now if the Leafs lose there. Everyone has their hobby. Wed, May 10 at 7 pm. I read it was only valid until May 2nd and only enforced to give the locals a chance to buy a ticket first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He once told me the other men used to call him a poof because he wouldn't go drinking with them. Ironically he was far more interested in chasing totty than drinking beer. While they were down the pub he was likely to be bedding their girlfriends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
