This painting, by a Mr A Warhol, just sold for $195 million. (That's over £150 million in real money)

It's called Shot Sage Blue Marilyn, one of a series of 5, (Red Marilyn, Orange Marilyn etc) knocked up by Andy W in 1964. The other 4 are in private collections and are not for sale, which is probably why this one was so expensive.

When they were first done they were stacked against a wall in Warhol's studio when this photographer bint rocked up. She asked Andy if she could shoot the paintings and when he said yes she produced a revolver from her handbag and fired at the stack of Marilyns, hitting her straight between the eyes.

The upshot (no pun intended) was that the paintings became known as the Shot Marilyns, and the photographer woman was barred from the studio.

That $195M includes the $25M buyer's premium - the commission charged by the auction-house.

Nice work if you can get it.

$25M is some serious vig.

Apparently the sale took 4 minutes.

This stunning effort went for a measly $20m.

I call this Blue Dog With Butterfly.
I'll take a tenner for it.

And no, I didn't copy & paste it, it's an original.

you've got to convert it to a NFT, if you want real money.

I bet it's already been fungied.

I asked the butcher how long a chicken would last in the freezer and he said between 3 and 6 months.

We only put ours in for one night and it died.

Why is government populated by people you instinctively dislike?

Why are politicians suspected of sex offences 'Unnamed' whilst celebrities are splashed all over the tabloids?

Why have I forgotten the other two things I wanted to post on here?

Think it is easy enough to work out.  There are 6 MPs that qualify and 5 of them are still attending the House of Commons. 

What amuses me is that even though there were only 6, everyone assumed it was the fella that Mark Ne Francois Pas used to parody, who I won't name, as there wasn't enough evidence of any wrongdoing to charge him.  Feels like you shouldn't have 2 people who have been investigated of sex offences in a sample of 6.  These Tories are so unlucky, huh?  Was kind of hoping it was Johnson, but he is only an everyday criminal, and not a convicted sex offender.  Djangoly only gets paid £800 a hour to learn on the job, which apparently isn't an offence either, or he hasn't been investigated or something.  Can't go through the other 3, or we might break some law or other.

Don't really know why he can't be named though.  So long as you don't call him a rapist, and just refer to him as an alleged one, think it should be fine.  Not a lawyer.
