That your daughter has been studently, I mean. :D
I remember when she started out...
We are your elders - your superiors in every way, and don't you forget it, you little shit.Quote:

I was somewhat proud of her when I went to see her slightly odd 4th year degree show at art school (she specialised as an illustrator so the Jacques Cousteau submarine was a particular surprise) but was a little horrified to find that she had caught the eye of some highfalutin art school in London who offered her a postgraduate place. :dabs:
I would be careful Idol:fear: He got stars!!, that has to mean something??:unsure:Quote:

If you end up in the poorhouse over it, perhaps she'll take you in, in your dotage. :)
Greet her for me if you would; I remember she used to post here and there, eh?
No, just that I'm a curmudgeonly and slightly aged person who has whiskers here.Quote:

Nice to see you back. :)
You can't be superior to me in every way as many things are mutually exclusive so they preclude being superior at both.Like for instance, being the most humane and being the most inhumane.Quote:

Just going to look at London for a half day is ruinously expensive these days. I have thus far avoided selling any body parts and so far dodged all the cutbacks at work. However, I think the next round of austerity looms. Thankfully I am within spitting distance of retirement.
This was the young artist at work at one of those boutique outdoor music festivals "doing an art"....or it may have been a lure for stoned hippies as I think it was all lit up in the dark.
Apologies to those affected by the fact that she is encased in rubber. It can have a funny effect on some people. :ghey:

Did you see me before?
Used to own this place, me and about ten of my peeps - Boab, J'Pol, Biggles, Rat, oh geez, better make that a few dozen of my peeps - I could go on for daze.
Idol - VV - was one of my trusted advisors. ;)
Idol...look at me.Quote:

No, up here - at about your noon...focus, now...can you see me?
If you can, signal by squinting like the window-peeper you were when I gave you that job...:)
Ah, God love her.Quote:

Any affection she has for rubber/latex will serve her going forward - what with the pending pandemic and all. :rolleyes:
So, you have some maybe-spare body parts, eh?
What're they worth?
Ah, God love her.Quote:

I haven't had them valued yet - saving them for a rainy day (metaphorically speaking obviousment....it is always a rainy day here...global warming appears to be global wettening.)
Holding onto mine for dear life, too. :lol:Quote:

Weather is variable, and that's just a fact. :)
I am well, how are you, old bean.Quote:

J'Pol, how you are? :huh:
Long thyme, no sea.
Can you do post graduate studies in drawing now, Les.Quote:

I think the wean may have conned you.
Came as a surprise to me too but apparently, so she tells me, said highfalutin art school only does postgraduate drawing no undergraduate drawing at all at all. :dry:Quote:

Although last time I spoke to her she was doing something with computer programming and underlying rhythm in the universe (I think). No 1 son was advising her on Al Gore rhythms or something else...we were in a curry house so I just concentrated on the pakora and let them get on with it.
My eyes seem to be watering.Quote:

Heh - the way you say "highfalutin" - American words on a foreign tongue...:happy:Quote:

Les, you really need to think these things through.Quote:

They are conning you for free meals and imaginary tertiary education. Is post graduate tertiary or is it ... what would the word for fourth level be.
It's little more than preying on the infirm and feeble, tantamount to bullying.
You are right! I am a victim of ageism.Quote:

What's the U.S. channel called, les?
We have BBC America. :)
We have no end of channels on Sky that bring us televisual treats like America's Next Top Model (my daughter and friends used to watch that.....and laughed most cruelly I thought). However, I was thinking more along the lines of Classic Western films of the John Wayne era or TV shows like The Virginian. :happy:Quote:

Aye've watched them all...not so oddly, I guess, in syndication.
For whatever reason, I never watched anything at all, first run, my entire life.
Must've been that whack on the head when I was very young.
Missus J is a huge Dr. Who fan, had me watching for a while too, but.
