You don't have the monopoly , yet.<br />Don't forget that Richard (of RBB) and I have to be cleaner than clean PC maniacs every hour of every working day, and it feels bloody good to rant of at anyone else.Twisted Scottish Bastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06825025524038296192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535500224556819577.post-66856011559743475842010-08-31T19:42:59.075+12:002010-08-31T19:42:59.075+12:00Hello Akish.

I apologise for not responding earlier but as your creator and mentor Richard (of RBB) has created so many new personalities I have been distracted. By the way. What do you think of these new 'personalities'? Are they a threat? Mmmm? Is your old buddy and creator favouring others before you? Just a thought.<br /><br />TSB. I believe that I've mentioned before that you are in danger of encroaching on my domain of being disgruntled about everything.THE CURMUDGEONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01747720629076703739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535500224556819577.post-11050093094516613502010-08-22T07:50:01.868+12:002010-08-22T07:50:01.868+12:00Mostly true, TwistedScottishBastard, I do think th...Mostly true, TwistedScottishBastard, I do think that teachers are whimpy buggers. They should show kids crappy pictures and say 'Look, this is what crap looks like'.<br />Akish (TP)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535500224556819577.post-82830940608840010802010-08-21T08:19:44.578+12:002010-08-21T08:19:44.578+12:00While I completely agree with your comments on art...While I completely agree with your comments on art and the complete crap that is often put out on public display, I think you may be wrong regarding the teacher's role.<br />We're not there to tell the kids what's right and what's wrong in absolute terms, that way lies fascism. We can tell the kids our own personal opinions, but it's not an absolute, everyone should be allowed to express themselves in any non-hostile, non-threatening way they wish.<br />What really pisses me off, is being told by some arty-farty dickhead that I have to like what they "say" is art, and watch my hard-earned tax dollars being spent on a piece of rotting fish guts sealed in a tube of human excrement in the name of art.<br />Stop the subsidies. If it's good art, then people will buy what they like.<br /><br />I also agree about the "Words in Pictures" thing. What do they think they're doing? Making kids comics?Twisted Scottish Bastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06825025524038296192noreply@blogger.com
