Why is it that men who offer 'wild' sex are never the ones who actually
provide it? ;-)

Simple they have led sheltered and blinkered lives. Therefore wild sex is
a) any time other than Saturday night after the pub/match of the day.
or
b) With the lights _ON_
or
c) Not in bed
or
d) Not missionary
or
e) forgets to use the rythym and blues band methd.
or
f) all of the above
or
g) Something other method which must be kinky and perverted.

That's true, at least with tame sex you don't have to chase it round the
room then tie it to the bed.

ROTFL :-)
Although that is pressuming you manage to catch it first.
Anyway, it's not-so-much wild sex, as kinky.
YMMV

Hmmn. Well. What you've written is irony not honesty, which is quite likely
to be more effective than bollocks, I reckon.

Privacy. They are worth about the same amount of money, but one person
pays for the privacy of the painting, where as 1000s of people
contribute small amounts for page 3.

Indeed we do, for the might Bristol council has seen-fit to extend the
September/October free-entry to the city-museums (musea?), and the
art-gallery, and industrial museum appear to be free-entry full-stop
now... A thousand blessings upon them.
The industrial museum is splendid (and has a working steam railway).
The art gallery isn't too bad either, they have some quite good pictures,
including the Lord Frederic Leighton (he of `Flaming June' fame)
painting `The Mermaid' -- a very pretty/erotic picture...

I was going to suggest that `art' is a `representation' eg, what the
painter paints, rather than the cold clinical chemical reactions of
photography, where the only humanity is that of the subject, and nothing
from the creator of the image.
However this attempt at a definition is clearly bunkum, as there is
plenty of `art' which is photographic.
Next angle of attack: Intent.
A pornographer, one presumes, sets out with one intent: to arouse...
An artist may set out to to portray something, and the work might be
arousing, intentionally, or unintentionally.
The problem is that, unless you question, _and_ psycho-analyse the
artist, chances are you'll not establish the reasoning behind his
work...
So perhaps scratch that idea as-well..
Erm.
Perhaps it really is an issue of snobbery...
OTOH it will probably keep philosophers arguing for years to come...

Manchester and York held some worthwile paintings, nothing modern, but
our local Stockport art gallery only seemed to have weird temporary

I didn't like Pyle's version of the King Arthur legend as much as some
(Marion Zimmer Bradley's was my favorite). But his Robin Hood was great!

Don't worry, I'm sure the Tate Gallery still has a few piles of bricks
for you to appreciate. Preferably not by tripping over them. I never
did understand art...getting involved with someone who went to art
college didn't help make sense of it all either.

Aah, temporary modern art, sounds just great :

Hmmm... Well I am quite sure of what I've seen... I am open to the
possibility that there is more than one painting that rejoices in the
title of `The Mermaid'... (And this one /isn't/ Pyle's, but Leighton's,
so we haven't got a case of two instances of the same painting...[ and
of course even that route isn't infallible -- just think of van Gogh's
`Sunflowers'...])
After-all there are a number (>1) that go under the name of
`La Dame Sans Merci'... Of which Bristol museum also have an example...
Sadly it is appallingly lit...

Oh Bollox!
I had this creeping feeling as I walked-home last night (whilst laughing
insanely to that Radio4 6:30-7:00pm comedy slot), that I had missed a vital
word out of the title...
> That's a dead ringer for the other one - "La Bell(e) Dame Sans Merci"
Indeed. [with the `e'] :-)
Thanks for _not_ flaming me :-)

No -- it is a very similar composition (I don't think it is that unusual
for different painters to paint essentially the same scene, particularly
from classical-type scenes):
On left we have side/back view of the naked mermaid, with glorious long
graceful blue-ish tail (entwined around fishermans right leg), arching her
back gloriously, whilst reaching out to fisherman (naked, baring a tasteful
orange [very short] `sarong' thing). Fisherman has dropped/is spilling his
basket of fish (held in his left hand), and a fish or two is/are falling
back into the sea. The fisherman has brown hair, and the mermaid has
blonde hair, braided with perls. I am not sure about the sun...
Lovely picture, though I doubt it is for-sale (or that I could afford
it) I guess I'll have to make-do with a print...
Time to show my ignorance: What style is your version in, Lord Leighton
is of the pre-Raphaelite tradition?
Well we'd might as well learn something from this -- is there an `online'
repository for paintings -- I know [believe] The Louvre have some stuff
online -- but I expect it is only paintings that they actually keep...
Cheers,
James

Oops. I think the word `practically' dropped out somewhere here -- the
`sarong' is arranged much-like a pair of boxer-shorts!

I see...
Anyone know who houses `Flaming June', probably my /favourite/ painting
(by Leighton at any rate).

!Arse!
I somehow doubt I'll be seeing that then...
