The Drawing Room

Recommended Posts

If I can just make my small contribution to the new section.

It's a charcoal sketch of BBW and Ted Max playing table tennis.

BBW is portrayed as Johnny Depp who has just smashed one over the net to TM who is obviously Brad Pitt and who has casually dispatched it back towards BBW, the ball is suspended over the net.

Ted's gaze is focussed beyond BBW, to the lower right hand corner where Jennifer Aniston is smoking a cigarette.

An Embassy Regal.

For some reason I was going to depict an elderly woman with a handkerchief stuffed into the right hand sleeve of her Evans blouse.

But I thought it might make it a little fussy.

Is BBW shown in his three-quarter length trisers, three lions tattoo visible above the ankle?


I'm not going in that there drawing room - its imagined content has cast a cold grip of terror round my waking dreams. Instead I am staying here in the The Lounge, the place for whimsy and mimsy, dimsy and flimsy construct.


Let us embrace trivial mundanities through the dim fog of second-class minds that display the attention span of the golden retriever, the gravity of the spring lamb.


As those modern prophets the Indigo Girls said; "The less I seek my source for some definitive; The closer I am to fine."

I?ve just completed this watercolour. It is called Off Topic.


There is a busy street in soft blue, white and light shades of beige. A forlorn looking shopkeeper is trying in vain to appease a queue of people who seem desperate to purchase something he does not sell. Monochrome people on the street pass by not noticing but for one or two faces turned towards the commotion in obvious amusement (for some unknown reason one of them is eating a chocolate bar). In the grey clouds above the street you can make out Hermes delivering a message to Zeus.

I feel certain that at this very moment Mockney is standing with his back to the fire, hands wrapped round a brandy glass, arguing politely but fiercely with MarmoraMan over the lasting legacy of the Albigensian Crusade and what it tells us about modern day secular educational policy.


Steam rises from MarmoraMan's tweeds as he wonders whether now is the time to inject his killer fact about the unintended outcome of the Last Cathar's Rebellion.


Meanwhile, in the Lounge, the dullards are left only to talk of the weather.

????, have I accurately described the scene? Then it is worse than I feared. Still, at least it leaves us with a clear run at these bints with the GCEs in Home Economics.


Did I ever tell you about that place I have by the coast? Two hours to get there in the Spider and a charming local pub next door where nobody knows your name.

Here?s another, it is entitled First Knob Gag.


It is an Alex Schomburg style comic book frame depicting a caped superhero, lantern jawed and broad shouldered, punching a wretched looking villain clean through a set of French windows. A yellow lightening bolt containing the word KAPOW! in red lettering adds dramatic effect.

I like that Brendan. It is going to be a fine collection in there.


I had thought perhaps a Punch cartoon, entitled "A lady fails to provide sufficient references to back up her theory". In a Victorian salon, several gentlemen in frock coats inspect the embroidery of one of the ladies present. One bewhiskered gent says: "My dear, as arguments go, yours is a severally fine one. And methinks the holes are quite the finest part."

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
