Ha Ha! Glad to you see some of you appreciated my effort

Felt it was high time some of you lazy quiz-answer-nicking tarts were weaned off the stupidity tit and learned to think for yourself a bit! And I wanted to do something interesting to mark the last day of the competition. Yes I was the one at your school who set the fire alarms off on the last day. I will always be with you

‘Marian Diths’ as an anagram I made of Damian Hirst. I wanted to put ‘Marian D. Sh*t’ because it’s way funnier and alludes to a great quote I remember Hirst making when I was doing my art degree about how a dog sh*t with a banana stuck in it could be art. Obviously that quote inspired me to become the person I am today.
But I thought it wouldn’t really look believable as a senior member of the guardian staff.
This is all well and grand except in my excitement I mucked everything up by spelling ‘Damian’ not ‘Damien’. So it doesn’t even work. I thought it was Damian?? Ha Ha. Harder to guess, even better

But do you not think the competition address I gave of 46 Peacock Road, Hampton Wick was also a stroke of indisputable genius and an even more of a dead giveaway on my part? Allow me my laurels. No connection to Hirst or The Hours, just wanton stupidity and buried allusion that only makes sense to me. That’s what great art is all about, isn’t it?

Anyway, Yootha Joyce and Brian Murphy are artists easily equivalent to Mr Hirst in both pop cultural stature and sheer scope of artistic vision, and Yootha is definitely watching over us all like a fabulous shining guardian angel as we merrily read and post our days away.

Well it’s been grand fun playing with you all and I hate to leave, but my mum is calling me in for tea and it’s angel delight for pudding again. Just like every day. And so it should be.

Big Kiss, Bye Bye and I hope I win it. Yours truly scrumptious, tabbycat14 :)X

Ps. As to comments that i have too much time on my hands. We all have too much time and then suddenly we don’t. That’s what makes life so interesting don’t you think??

Pps. Oingo Boingo, you are my !!!!! and my mum says you can sleep over this weekend if you want.

Anyone that was fooled by this is as big a fool as this person. He/she thought they were so clever but failed to see even the most obvious of errors - and it fooled some of you? :rotfl:

And before anyone has a go at me because you were duped and I've offended your intelligence - remember that this is an open forum and my opinion is only that - my opinion. And that you publicly look like complete pillocks :T
