Banksy โข Mild Mild West, Street Art in Bristol, by Deleted on Apr 6, 2009 15:33:39 GMT 1, 'I've never heard of this Banksy chap, but after reading this bitter middle-aged Daily Maily rant disgusted Tumbridge Wells hurumphfest, I like the fella! I always feared that spouting off about art only says anything, ultimately, about the 'critic' themselves; in this instance, the critic is a bad tempered out of touch hack scrabbling around for something to write about... '

I suppose one can rule out Vermin as a suspect, though perhaps their services in restoration of all things Banksy could be useful as long as they sign a waiver promissing to leave it in place.

It looks somewhat promising, surely some professional restorers would be able to sort this out no problem.

Banksy โข Mild Mild West, Street Art in Bristol, by recycle on Apr 6, 2009 18:16:49 GMT 1, Ok, i don't know if this will help anyone, but there's a bit more info about their website.
If you remove the frames from the site you end up with the actual url of where is is hosted which is sparror.cubecinema.com/amedia/
This in turn can lead you to two directions, the first is the domain owner who has the following details.
Domain Name: CUBECINEMA.COM
Administrative Contact:
HOGARTH, GARY cubeadmin@microplex.cubecinema.com
Cube Cinema
4 princess row
BRISTOL, BRISTOL BS2 8NQ
UK
+44 117 9074190 fax: +44 117 9074697
Another avenue to look at is that they offer free image hosing to members, this in turn could lead you to the members page which is at the following url microplex.cubecinema.com/cgi-bin/members/homepages.pl
The main reason i have posted this is that one of the names of either the domain owner or one of the member may ring a bell to someone.
Hope this may be of some help.

This mild mild west is getting like Triggers broom, maybe its time to let it go.

actually i fancy giving up my job, you can all have a whip round and i'll stand guard.
i'm really pissed at these tossers. i fucking love the the MMW.

He did use a fire extinguisher with pink paint on the Southbank (National Theatre building?).
Wall & Piece, page 201.
However, I'm sure if it was him he would have done something slightly wittier than that to it.
