London in the 1970s, by Trevorm on Oct 5, 2018 9:32:35 GMT 1, Never mind the buses... those Capriโs are the tits. I had one in the 90s the kids used to make me wait round the corner when picking them up Ha! Me too (but in 1973). Mine was a 1600cc one in Medina green (?). Picked it from Crimble's Ford in Staines. It was a company car โฆ.. when I went to pick the car up, they asked which colour I'd like. I pointed at a pale blue one with vinyl on the roof but they wouldn't let me have it as it was the 3 litre version and outside the budget I'd been given. I think the registration number was UPF 914M or something like that.

SOLD, by Trevorm on Aug 16, 2018 16:07:22 GMT 1, ยฃ475! Totally bonkers - why hasn't somebody ripped your arm off for it? I'm not going to have it. Definitely not. But if you continue to get let down and I find out that where you live is accessible and it hasn't been sold by Saturday .......... I think collection only makes things difficult. Would you be open to shipping? I think this would sell in a second. No, I reckon he holds on until the weekend and somebody drives over from 'the Smoke' and picks it up! ๐

Banksyโs bought at car boot sale, by Trevorm on Jul 29, 2018 11:31:13 GMT 1, Great stuff. I'm all in favour of a good heartwarming story - I have a small suspicion that's what this is though, a story.
That said, I imagine that there are members on here that have been in the right place at the right time and made an amazing pick up. I further imagine that there's a newish member who managed to buy 4 Banksys and maybe some other random Rembrandt pieces etc. at the boot sale just down the road. But that's me just being old and cynical

2018 World Cup , by Trevorm on Jul 10, 2018 17:12:25 GMT 1, I'll enjoy tonight. Two top teams, both worthy of a place in the final. A few beers and some pizza - great stuff.
Unfortunately it might well be the end of my 2018 World Cup viewing โฆโฆโฆ.. I can't watch our home side - I can't bear to see them lose, it's pathetic on my part I know. I had to escape to the car during the Colombia game (radio off). And how anybody could watch the subsequent penalties following extra time I've no idea or comprehension. Went out for a walk in deepest Norfolk with the Mrs. on Saturday to avoid any contact with the quarter final even though I was reasonably confident of the win.

Legacy, by Trevorm on May 29, 2018 14:06:19 GMT 1, An intriguing position for somebody to be in.
I have no experience of such matters but suspect that it would be best resolved, in person, before the coil shuffling exercise takes place.
Apart from resolution before popping off - I do have a little experience of probate and it's vital that trusted or trustworthy executor(s) are appointed.

Joke of the day, by Trevorm on Apr 27, 2018 14:56:40 GMT 1, A married couple in their early 40's are devastated to learn that the wife has a terminal condition and isn't likely to live more than a couple of weeks.
Back at home shortly after the diagnosis the wife informs her husband of her one regret .......... that they'd never experimented with anal sex. That night the matter is delicately attended to and the wife then sleeps soundly afterwards.
On waking, the following morning the wife springs from bed, makes tea and prepares breakfast and appears to be in a much improved state of mind.
The feeling of wellbeing improves for a couple of days with the wife looking radiant and healthy - so much so that they visit the specialist to find that her terminal condition has disappeared and she gets an immediate all clear.
In the car on the way home she is humming a tune and enjoying the day but realises that all is not well with her husband who is sitting with his hands on his face and quietly sobbing while they are delayed at a traffic light - he is clearly distraught.
"What is the matter, darling?" asks the wife. Her husband breaks down and sobs "I could have saved Mum"

Dran, Invader, Pomet, Dain - FURTHER REDUCTIONS! , by Trevorm on Apr 18, 2018 11:46:29 GMT 1, Hmmmmm! It's a beauty, all right. Some serious negotiation may have to follow - if it's not snapped up . Would that involve some hob nobs and a pokey beer? ๐ No hob nobs. I don't even like hob nobs.
You could be on the money with the pokey/eggy beer tho'. I'm thinking 3 or 4 pints of double IPA and then an offer that many would deem ridiclious - always supposing that it doesn't get picked up in the interim

Art Print Storage in Plan Chests, by Trevorm on Mar 21, 2018 11:35:22 GMT 1, We're having a change round at home and reconfiguring a spare bedroom into a kind of office, utility room.
The existing plan chest is being replaced with two new ones - an A1 and a matching AO which will allow me to decant about 50 larger prints that have been lurking around, tucked behind stuff, in Selwyn sleeves.
Anyway, you are welcome, assuming somebody wants it, to come and collect on a f o c basis. You'll need a van or estate car - I'm happy to assist in getting it to the vehicle. Tea or coffee are not a problem but if you want/need a Hobnob biscuit you'll have to mention it as I'm still reeling after last year's Hobnob debacle ๐

Lets get rid of the bullies for good!, by Trevorm on Feb 22, 2018 23:21:01 GMT 1, We need more threads about members who fail to give chocolate Hobnobs to buyers when they visit to purchase an item of art. They said they would but when push came to shove, they didnโt offer that gem of a biscuit. You know who you are. Now that was a funny thread. Funny thread! Funny thread?
Them chocolate Hobnobs were here - I just don't eat biscuits myself, so I never put them out. I still can't sleep properly at night

For Sale, Banksy Silver Flags , by Trevorm on Feb 20, 2018 22:51:09 GMT 1, Yes, on reflection I think you're right - must be less than 300 in top condition. Hmmm! Bit of a 'straw poll' but based on the 6 or 7 lightly damaged or fairly mangled ones that I've let, like a mug, through my grasp over the past few years and the very few (2no) pristine examples I've seen I reckon there are in the order of 150 prime examples out there. The Chroma-lux (or whatever it is) paper isn't very forgiving

For Sale, Banksy Silver Flags , by Trevorm on Feb 20, 2018 22:03:14 GMT 1, Looks close to being mint. An iconic print and I'll bet rare in that condition even considering the high number in the edition. I think I'd keep it. If I hadn't just picked one up that's close to that condition I'd be interested

Banksy โข Turf War Print โข 2003, by Trevorm on Feb 9, 2018 14:36:13 GMT 1, I've just picked up another one that has a COA so the one in the photo is up for grabs.
It's from about 2004 and came to me via an established member on here a couple of years ago. The print had been handled quite a bit but doesn't appear to have been framed before. I've attended to the light handling marks by successfully flattening it. There are no tape marks and neither are there any WCP stamps en verso. I provided my mate Chris the framer with the black box frame and he duly obliged by cutting the mount and putting it all together.
I'm in South London and happy drop it off within a reasonable distance - I'm also mentally capable of coping with all forms of pm's. If somebody out there is after an iconic print for the wall for the fraction of the price of a real one let me know.
