    Given the turn in the weather, would it be ok if I kept my longjohns on?

    I'll tell you what. I'll take off the vest and socks on one condition: that I can wear a balaclava. It's very arty - I got it off Tracey Emin. She was wearing it at the time, but she couldn't catch me.
    Tracey Emin! Art royalty indeed, of course it's more than fine if you wear it.

    I presume it's got some fag butts, or a pair of massive fake breasts stapled to it, or something just as arty?

    Are they Tracey Emins longjohns?

    the guy on ebay said they had previously belonged to Jackson Pollock. I'm not entirely convinced, but it would explain the odd stains...clearly they are not stains at all, but paint splashes.

    I know there are strange people around who buy secondhand longjohns on ebay, but I never thought I'd meet one.

    I only bought them because of the artistic pedigree, and have been saving them for a special occasion. Your art project sounds like the perfect chance for me to model them :)

    Funny you should come up with this lotus. I was just putting the final touches to my internet ad inviting couples under 25 to take part in a sponsored romp in my hayfield on Midsummer's Day. I thought they could raise money for the Gardener's Royal Benevolent Society..... or raise something anyway.;)

    I was intending to get it all down on film for the Canned Film Festival, being held in Bob's house on Whit Monday, until my significant other pointed out a slight flaw in my timing of the event....:o

    Luckily though, all is not lost. I have now received a better offer from Ned, who is into 'silage,' whatever that is. Apparently, he is going to "arrive with his equipment" on a weekend in early June and we will be "half-cut by lunchtime," so I'm going with that, as it sounds a right giggle! :j:beer:
