Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

LoL, why haven't I ventured onto this diary before?! very witty and humorous.

Do u drive up to Nott's from Central London? It's a long trek, puts me off the most about going tbh, I prefer Magic 105.4 tho :0)

Magic 104? Please! This is not Tattoo Boy's thread, we do class here.

My favourite TV channel is "Kerrang!" - now THAT is class.

This is "Child with a Dove", by Picasso.

(It is not the original, it is just a photo).

It is about to be auctioned, & is expected to fetch £50 million. (Or "One Torres").

Please post your hand in pleno style with some gifs ( if that's the right word for them ). Little clips of you doing a somersault, then a little dance, then the air bags going off in you car would be comedy.

We don't do art nonsense here, so why the Picasso thing?

Well it was the owner that caught my eye - the Aberconway family.

Who are they, where did their wealth come from? How many other £50 mill paintings do they have stuck in their loft?

I tried searching the internet, & there seem to be numerois Baron Aberconways.

This one here had quite a history.

He was owner of an initiative to prevent WW2. Fail, that one. As well as that worthy effort, he wrote, apparently, "pithy" letters to The Times.

This is another Baron Aberconway.....

Here is another.....

I have no idea who these people are, but they appear to be rich in history. And money.

How the hell can I have gone through my life & have never heard of these guys?

Sometimes, I really regret wasting my life on dumb things.

Here's the Aberconway family home, in Wales. It's rather nice I think.

Kerrang!! U must be joking, I would say Ur more of a capital gold guy! loool

Do u enjoy Art?

I like Banksy's Art Work, I don't understand too much about it, but a good friend of mine has bought a few of his work and they look really cool.

[tikay]

The family also own - or owned - Aberconway House in Mayfair.

It is currently on the market (or was recently) for £25 million, see

Trigg let me look through his book of Banksy's work at a gukpt in Blackpool. Some of his stuff is very funny and thought provoking Dreenie.

You are new to my Diary, Dreenie, & I don't wish to be rude, but is that a level?

Art? Me? Here?  You are having a laugh.

We don't do art, we do real stuff, interesting stuff.

For art, try one of these 2 Diaries......

Banksy is shite. if I were in power, I'd fine him for soiling our fine walls with graffiti.

Nah, we don't have the technology for that 2+2 type stuff here, & anyway, it has run its course, I think.

If I were to do one of that hand last night, it would need to include a montage of me crapping myself.

[dreenie]

WOW, really shocked by your response, never thought it would be a 'boring subject' for you, or that u would find him rubbish!! - I think once u look inside the art work, there is a lot of useful stuff u can find within one's mind... pretty fascinating really Imho, not that I understand it 100%.

So what sort of interests are u in to aside from the gambling/poker world?

Do u like Snooker?

Think you just got owned, Tom. I did spam your Diary for her, though - you know, all that incred chat about salt, & low-fat milk.

Red, don't worry, i am pretty sure she was being facetious. Let TK have his moment of glory. We know where to find the real wit and humour around here!

[dreenie]

Facetious? - Would u mind cutting down on the posh words please, I have trouble reading/writing the basics lol
