    I thought this was last night? It was on BBC news yesterday that the paintings would be placed last night.
    My suggestion and/or advice is my own and it is up to you if you follow it, please check the advice given before acting on it.

    he sounds cool... Neate's two and three dimensional paintings use recycled cardboard boxes as canvases and have been noted for their complex layering and bold use of paint.

    people are selling them on ebay!!!! if theydidnt want it they shold have left for the next person.

  • Does anyone remember a few years ago the book one they started doing...where you left a book and then someone could take it, read it then leave it for the next person...they were to be logged on a website...can't remember what it was called. Anyone decided to liberate one of my (then) employers books (teehee) outside our office on KFC's wall! Anyone, a group of thugs came along and ripped it to bits!!! So much for sharing culture!!!
    :confused:
    Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me!
