Has anyone seen my plastic gorilla ??? very off ta
SBrown6524
not exchange till the same day but as my solictor did not care to "wing it " he
asked a few more questions during the day until we find out that at the bottom
of the chain is not a couple who are buying cash but a property company who do
not wish to shell out the deposit 24,000 . There then followed a long day when
my hair turned white with worry and just as I thought we might be exchanging
that day the old boy at the top of the queue finds out that his family do not
have the room he thought would be ready for him to move in to ready at all !!!!
the moving date now stands at 17th oct all the other solictors are now shut for
the weekend so I do not know if we are moving at all until monday .
Saturday dawns and I am now in a state of shock and would rather dig a big hole
and bury myself however the skip has arrived ready the clear the loft. We took
out our misery on the rubbish of 25years and entertained the road by draging
out stuffed cats , bags of old broken toys , a comadore 64 ( later retrived by
son ) assorted bags of long forgotten rubbish which we topped with a small cane
chair ( badly eaten by wood worm ) a doll with glitter painted eyes and a
golliwog on top of this I left a large blow up black gorilla which was slowly
deflating .
Sunday go to add yet more rubbish and clutter to the skip and find that the
gorilla along with doll golliwog and chair have legged it .
So if it was you that nicked me gorilla come back tomorrow and if the sale has
fell through yet again you might find a few more goodies in the skip like
estate agents etc.................
Yours

They may be living it up somewhere togther now, but I bet they'll
be back with their tails between their legs before long.

I hope tomorrow brings exchange and contract. If not get some wax
and make a doll of the estate agent, or solicitor. I am sure someone
along the line in our exchange was lying but it was hard to prove.
What could you do to the wax dolls to make them act better.....

Perhaps they have run off with Chris Squires' foam rubber person.

THe London Eye was spiffing, but the weather was a bit cloudy & dull.
We have decided we need to go at least twice more - once on a sunny day
and once in the dark.

Do what some friends of mine did (and I missed it :() aim for a summer
sunset flight - although I suppose a winter sunset one would work just as
well.

Hmm. I rather fancy the dull day idea: I think I'd see more than
squinting in the sun - but no good for waving cameras about the place.
Toodles needs a few more days in each week. *Where* has this year gone?

lucky to see Canary Wharf [1].

I bought one of those disposable jobbies as I didn't think before I set
off that the weather was suitable (forecast was for torrential rain &
gales). I shall see how things turn out.

Over there somewhere, I think -------------------->
[1] Yes, I *know* Heathrow is in the opposite direction from Canary
Wharf, but it's also a lot further away. It was a comparative
statement.

And I _still_ haven't gone. I took a day away from my house-fixing on
Monday; it was a toss-up between the Eye and the surrealism exhibition at
the abandoned power station. I wasn't sure of the weather, so the
surrealists won by a short fish.
Oh, yes. Brief swerve: if modern art doesn't turn you off completely then
I'd recommend adding the abandoned power station (a-k-a Tate Modern) to
your itineraries. I wasn't expecting to be as impressed as I was - they've
done a rather fine job on the conversion. I'm not sure if I'd recommend the
surrealism exhibition unreservedly though: too much Dali and not enough Max
Ernst for my taste (they did have some of the better De Chiricos though.)
(The caff's better in the other Tate, though....)

Stunning view overs the river.

Have they brought over any of the stuff from the Dali museum in St Pete ?
Wonderful place, the guide's pronunciation of 'dar-lee' grates after a
while though..

With the exception of the Turbine Hall itself, of course, you don't really
notice the gallery, which is the right idea say I. I agree about some of
the content, as I've never come across any conceptual art that does
anything for me and the 'Saatchi Babes' (Emin etc) collectively leave me
totally cold. However, that's only a part of the contents. There's plenty
there that is worth spending time on, or at least I think so.
(And the views across the Thames are, as you say, stunning. It'll be even
better when they finally fix the Bouncing Bridge and you can walk to the
place from the north.)

Can't remember where everything came from. However, I picked up the
catalogue, so I'll check. (Dali's not really my thing, though you've got to
admire his brushwork.)

How can one be guided on surrealism? Isn't it contrary to the whole ethos, like
scored jazz?

Interesting point.. I suppose the main point is that there was method in
his madness and that there are repeating elements in his work which crop
up time & again. The guide was explaining some of these, rather than
trying to explain what the whole work represented. The works 'discussed'
were three of the masterworks each being around 160 * 120 inches.
Take a look at http://www.daliweb.tampa.fl.us/92.htm and see how many of
the toreadors you can spot..

Yes they did. I can't tell you exactly what as the catalogue doesn't index
by source.
