Early unstamped prints, by Octopus UK on May 5, 2007 11:27:53 GMT 1, Without provenance you might as well just buy a tribute piece for its image value alone.

UK Interest rates bite..., by Octopus UK on Jul 15, 2007 20:18:42 GMT 1, For those of us withourt a mortgage, the higher interest rate generates higher interest on our savings, therefore more cash to spend.

Wrong War. Blair withdraws troops., by Octopus UK on Feb 22, 2007 22:26:25 GMT 1, The U.S. saving your asses in WWII will always loom over any British decision-maker's head, regardless of any monetary debt being repaid or not. FDR opted to tackle Italy and Germany before "getting back at" Japan for Pearl Harbor. For as much as you all hate Thatcher and Blair, you must LOVE Churchill and FDR.
FDR had no choice in the matter.
After Japan attacked Pearl Harbour, the US had no choice but to go to war with Japan. There was no intention of the US, at that stage, of getting involved in a European war. Hitler, however, came to the UK's "rescue" by declairing war on the US, so the US had no choice but then to also fight a European war.

Wrong War. Blair withdraws troops., by Octopus UK on Feb 22, 2007 20:25:41 GMT 1, Every political party is itself a coalition, within the Labour Party there are many views and opinions BUT each individual knows that it is in their (and the greater populations') best interest to work with others in the party. If, in effect, each person (or small group : Green/UKIP/BNP) becomes their own "party" with no loyality to other "parties" then government - the whole reason for the existance of politicians - fails and does not function. Then it IS a waste of time to vote because governments are not stable.

Wrong War. Blair withdraws troops., by Octopus UK on Feb 22, 2007 19:22:59 GMT 1, I hope that this forum keeps a very long archive because I'm sure that many of you will come to eat humble pie when you look back at what you have posted here. I believe that we are currently living in a golden age that has been engineered by the sound economic and social management of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. Unfortunately many choose not to recognise this and have short memories so in 10 years time we will be suffering the consequencies of a few years of Tory mis-rule and bigotry.

BBC Edwardian season, by Octopus UK on Apr 1, 2007 20:13:11 GMT 1, I suspected such.
Is Morons Edwardian? I've only seen this image on the POW site and I'm almost sure that the members of the audience (with their backs to us) are comptemporary (womens hair styles) - the people stood at the front and facing us look formal but it could be modern day formal. Perhaps someone who is lucky to have one could give me their opinion? Banksy prints do contain incongruities but the two (or more) aspects which are mixed are usually all modern - except for Trollies.
I have two "sepia" signed prints from Ray Harryhausen and these are a mixture of dinosaurs, cave/indigenous men and a modern man. Not quite the intent at hiding an anomily but close to what I'm looking for.

BBC Edwardian season, by Octopus UK on Apr 1, 2007 19:47:28 GMT 1, Let it all out stuey09!
I admit the idea is a bit like Banksy but the mixing of old and new is what I'm interested in. "Morons" and "Trolley" probably work on this level for me so I hope I manage to capture a trolley. Hmm.

BBC Edwardian season, by Octopus UK on Apr 1, 2007 19:22:04 GMT 1, I've just seen a trailer for a series on the BBC on, basically, how things really haven't changed and a lot of "what goes on now", also happened in Edwardian times (100 years ago). To illustrate this they had (moving) Edwardian images but inserted some modern references. The trick was to spot them. For example in a busy Edwardian street scene with lots of bicycles and horse drawn omnibuses there was a pizza delivery motorbike; on another street scene there was a white van; in a crowd of street urchins was a kid in a modern football kit and in a line of Edwardian teenagers a few hoddies. The piece was done well, with the moderm image blending well with the archive footage.
What I'd like to know is, has anyone you know of produced prints of a similar nature? Where at first glance everything looks fine but a double take reveals an anomily (a bit like an episode of "Sapphire and Steel" for the more vintage of us). A bit Banksy-ish but not really the same thing.

Does Will have a "shop" I can see the internet? I haven't signed up to (Murdoch's) MySapce so I can't see any images on the links given here.

The ยฃ50 Art Thread, by Octopus UK on May 13, 2007 21:29:59 GMT 1, Yea, not bad for a canvas but there will be(?) 100 of them. Loses some of its exclusivity.
If the canvases are made to order, perhaps it would be possible to ask for another colour?
