"Close, but no cigar...."

Ooh, easiest way is not to measure up to her high standards....she can get militant y'know.... Paging 'Sticks'! Your planet needs you....

Actually I did receive a PM from member 'Sticks' in which he defends his actions He seems to be blaming the chimpanzees! Perhaps if a chimp would like to post and give their side of the story we can get a better perspective. It's speculation but I suspect 'Sticks' may be leading them on with banana eau de cologne. I'm currently trying to dissuade him from posting photos that he claims will exonerate him....it could be more than Everythingape could bear to see on screen

Who is Sticks? Is he a member here? Getting worried now....

Look forward to reading this! Unless, of course, I end up feeling suddenly compelled to spend money on "must have" straps, in which case a curse on your buckles!!

WOW!! :wub:

Did you see those crazies with their hand-powered revolutionary war-era sub in New York the other week? Great thinking guys!

Great pics

:D Luxury!!

Glad it worked out I was going to say that sometimes they can be cagey about giving out the details of accounts, that's how they stop them getting shut down. For that matter it might be a good idea to edit the email addresses above now so that the account doesn't get shut down with your money in it

It's true - they'll send Chuck Norris in on horseback!

Not at all - this has been quite a successful idea for a thread in the past, and it's due an update!

Cheers!

:lol: Great write-up!

I think there was a thread here or at TRC at some point, the guy himself might have been trying to shift copies. Can't remember the details - but I've seen it discussed here somewhere.

:lol: Great pics - and a nice acquisition!

Best wishes on a speedy recovery buddy

Nice photos - I like this one too: This is a good article: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn41...05/ai_n14803564 I'd like to see a retrospective of those poison-pen letters too by the sound of it! It's interesting that how much of art is really in the eye of the beholder - and how short a life the intention of the artist really has, regardless of their own intentions, conceit, or lack thereof. Look at the fine line between advertisements and art - how some 19th century advertisements are the epitome of fine art now, and other are....just advertisements. Or how many objects of fine art had a life before museums, ancient artifacts and so on. That Incan fertility statuette with the massive ding dong might be art to us or amusement, but it was probably a profoundly religious creation to the person who made it. /shortest thread mode back on, I promise!

It looks very interesting - as you say, pictures hardly do it justice. Scale is such an important thing in art too. I was nonplussed about all the photos of David I'd seen, then you walk into the Galleria dell'Accademia and you're just astounded. You just can't compare the photo and the real thing.

I totally agree - no fan of bling, but I think that's a really good looking watch.

Cosmo is quite right about CZ vs diamonds. When you judge a watch, you're often judging the person wearing it. If they don't look like they'd spend half a million dollars on a watch, it's going to look fake. That's the downside of bling. If you have a rap record contract it looks good, if you work in McDonalds, not so good. In fact part of the problem with CZ is that it looks unrealistically good to the naked eye - it's perfect, colourless, flawless - only the very best diamonds could match it, you would have to be very wealthy to afford the real deal. And of course, no manufacturer in their right mind would use top diamonds in a watch either. One thing I could be persuaded about with rep watch CZ though is that it is might be cut and set badly - and look poor because of that. (Not to mention some of the haphazard placement mentioned above). A watch dial setting also isn't a solitaire ring setting. Just my two cents....

Here's a question - when they switch off the power - is it still art?

Shortest Thread Ever....stay away from the light, stay away!!!
