Ukraine's Got Talent



This is rather long but quite amazing - a form of art that I have never seen before.


This video shows the winner of 'Ukraines's Got Talent' with Kseniya Simonova, aged 24, drawing a series of pictures on a sand table linked to a projection system.


The series of pictures, which is obviously scripted and rehearsed to synchronise with the background sound track, is intended to show how the ordinary people were affected by the German invasion during World War II.

I think you have to accept fame and fortune from any quarter.



She is one of the fastest artists I have ever seen.


There was an artist named (I think) Ralph Thompson who had a five minute in-fill between programmes (1950s) which we as kids watched glued to the screen, to see who would be the first to spot the picture.


He would start off with a huge four inch brush and just dabbed seemingly randomly on to blank a canvas with the corner of his pasteing brush for four and threequarter minutes,

and the last stroke made the picture complete and fall into place.


It was better than most childrens progs today.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
