They are cleaning it up today!

Last night i wrote of the paintball shooting of the Banksy piece on Park Street. This morning on my way in i took a few photos of the council attempt to clean it up.

I thought the guy on the right was a typical art expert shipped in especially to clean up the mess , with delicate precision. It took me a while to realise that i thought this because of his red braces, which was, of course actually his harness.

Latest news is that they abandoned the clean-up after a short while, but they may have been going for their lunch.

Frida Kahlo Rocks


The Unemployed Philosophers Guild's range of Little Thinker Dolls have just arrived. There are a massive range of dolls available however we have chosen a select few to start with. We have gone for fairly instantly recognisable personalities and may well branch out into the more obscure philosophers etc if these prove popular. My favourite of course is Frida Kahlo, the iconic kitsch figure that she is. Also on the website we have Salvador Dali, who looks very dashing in his satin cape, Sigmund Freud in a velvet suit,William Shakespeare and Albert Einstein in a lovely grey woolly jumper. If you come into the shop we also have one Elizabeth 1st and one Jesus!
