Things you dont see anymore

Difficult one this because art is subjective, Someone thinks it crap, Someone else thinks it's amazing.

The top floor of the Musee D'Orsay is stunning with the art they show. Can't wait for a day trip to revisit.

Made a special trip to Bilboa to see the Guggleheim museum, was great with loads of Vassily Kandinsky. Walked through Central Park to the New York Guggleheim, however it was Thursday and they were closed

Whether he is or not, to call him one, and his opinions 'bollox,' is disrespectful and poor moderation IMHO.

Lego - worth noting perhaps that when Klimt & his Secessionist buddies were active some 120 years ago, many considered their work as worthless as you do of Banksy today - all a question of perspective.

And Van Gogh sold how many paintings in his lifetime?

At the risk of causing offence and you can call me Mr Picky if you wish, shirley you mean Wassily ?

I was re-watching Double Jeopardy (1999) last night in which design covers for Kandinsky's Der Blaue Reiter/The Blue Rider 1911 feature. This particular philistine of the art scene much preferred to admire the very lovely Ashley Judd instead mind.

Well....I've been to the Uffizi, Louvre and Rijksmuseum, but I know nothing about art.

Excellent lateral thinking isca Would give you enough Wonga to buy up ECFC and take us to the Champions League.

I presume CO Safety is something to do with the difference between a blue flame and yellow flame or something like that?

I meant to say CO safety is not confined to gas burning appliances.
Coal fires/wood burning stoves & believe it or not disposable barbecues(in confined spaces) can all give off fatal doses of CO over a period of time in certain conditions
Barbecues cooling down in tents are particularly dangerous when the tent is all sealed up & cosy.

Ventilation/vents is very important.It causes draughts but is there for a reason.
Houses were naturally draughty & well vented years ago but with uPVC doors & windows,fitted carpets & foam filled cavities that natural ventilation has gone.

I sadly remember having to go to a property just outside of Barnstaple many years ago and finding a whole family succumbed to the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning, Awful sight it was, Can't remember what appliance or a boiler caused it but something you never forget.
