David Carnelli - Human Classical Statue

Posted by: Michael Palaeologus Today, 10:33AM



As Spring commences and Summer comes into view, the weather improves and the sun shines through the leaves creating dappled patterns on the lawns and hearts of East Dulwich.


Minds turn to al fresco parties and barbecues.


I have attended many of these events and have often felt that there is something lacking. A cultural void in what is otherwise a lovely afternoon of grilled bangers, cold Pinot in plastic cups and gently broiling human skin.


What is needed is one significant element that will transport your otherwise mundane suburban party to ancient Greece or Rome. Lift your guests from Croxted Road to the Coloseum, from Crystal Palace Road to the Parthenon:


Rent yourself -- DAVID CARNELLI, HUMAN CLASSICAL STATUE


Many people have commented on David Carnelli's similarity to the young Apollo and so building on this amazing likeness David has kindly decided to offer his services to the community as a live decorative fixture.


His services can be delivered in a number of ways:

1 - The static statue. David can stay still for up to 20 minutes at a time, moving between classical poses, gazing into the distance, silent yet commanding

2 - The reciting statue. David can recite from classical literature, in your actual Greek or Latin if required, entertaing your guests with the enormity of his declamation

3 - The nude statue. For those with specialist tastes. Please note that David is fully depilated; if you require the more natural look, 6 weeks notice is required

4 - The human fountain. Please supply ample quantities of Evian mineral water to keep him topped up.

5. - The athlete. David can perform like an ancient Greek Olympian. Its a quite a sight.


Many Forumites will vouch for David's flexibility and imagimation, if you have any particular requests please do not hesitate to contact:

Funny funny stuff from MP. The only April Fool's 'gag' to work. Took me in completely.

From the Karavan thread, by ontheedge:


I would like to buy an eastern European country which ones are you selling as I intend to set up an independent anarchist state for those of a sensitive nature, there will be no banks I will just take everyone's money, it will be pram free and there will be no nick knack shops, there will be no variety of food or people so no complaints. Everyone will be between 25 -35 so let me know quick so utopia can be in sight and we can stop the moaning on here for those who don't fit into said categories

Thank you

From the 'What Paper Do You Read' thread (which, amazingly, I had to resurrect from page 5!) Laughed out loud several times.

I can cope with a bias in papers, thats not a problems for me.


Its the jewel encrusted literary turd at the top of the Tony parsons & Julie Myerson shit heap. Awful handwringing, simpering, unoriginal, reactionary cod left poop sheet for the smug earnest pushy @#$%& who make my every living minute seem like a lifetime in the burning heat of my own bespoke agnostic hell


The saturday issue has extremes - It has the Guide, an pocket sized handy entertainment guide that I find both original & invaluable. It also has the magazine - which each week seems to be a shopwcase for the winners of the most numbingly dull yet most annoying columnists of the year - it makes the ES magazine seem like a @#$%&' seminal agitptop revolutionary tome

Did actually laugh out loud at this one. Nice work Brenda.

SNORKY:

I pay ?6 quid in Peckham to my Cypriot stylists,who dont smoke. which is a bit cheaper.I do look like a coconut afterwards though.


I read this whilst been on hold on the phone - I was cracking up when my call was finally picked up and couldn't stop giggling to the operator who must have thought I was mad.

Excellent work here from ???? from the Police On St Aidans Road thread -

Does anyone know why there were a group of about four or five police officers hanging out on St Aidan's this afternoon?

It was Knock Down Ginger' with Jimi hendrix that did it for me.

My dears I sat back on my haunches and simply bayed with laughter...

*Bob* has been on good form generally, but this.....


To be honest they might as well dispense with the formalities, wheel-on an enormous phallus at the start of the show for them to intermittently gawp at, and then spend the next hour drinking sweet white wine and flicking through 'Heat' whilst they get their hair done.


on the subject of Loose Women (the daytime show, not just loose women generally) was particularly good and gave me a much needed laugh at the end of an utterly crappy day.


Thanks *Bob*

You seem clinically disinhibited so just run naked , we all know you're single and a bit of a c*ck so you wont embarrass anybody will you ?


27 posts & all your cards on the table....good work !

What a great line - and I hope Davy took it as humour, or he'll be looking for you at the next EDF drinks.

    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
