Thought some of you would be interested in this:

There are some very good pieces there. The Picasso one genuinely made me laugh out loud.

Yeah same here, they spent quite a while on it. Might pop up and have a look.

I'm not a big fan of exhibitions but I'd really like to go and check out this one. Bristol's a bit of a trek away from London though. Might see if I can rope some mates into making a weekend of it.

Deffo gonna walk down and check it out tomorrow

MikeHunt79 · 13 Jun 2009 at 00:41

I may go down if there isn't a massive queue, it's there for 3 months so I'm in no hurry!

Hah, like the burnt out fiesta in the field!

i miss points west

also i really really miss the guy who used to host ( possibly still does ) the 6 o'clock local news on bbc. He is just amazing, pretty skinny with greyish hair. Doesn't care about anything, proper fiend

I probably should take a look at this, it'd only be a bus ride or something from where I stay in Bristol

Neoni · 13 Jun 2009 at 05:13

Brilliant, love banksy!

He is very good but a bit over rated. I get the feeling some people didn't think decent graffiti existed pre Banksy.

I saw the Guantanamo bay jump suit guy being placed in Disneyland Anaheim.

Thought nothing of it, looked a bit odd should have snapped some photos.

Thunderbolt · 13 Jun 2009 at 10:38

Gonna go and have a look tomorrow, will let you know what its like.
Seems to have some similar pieces to the pet shop exhibition he opened.

MarkDavis · 13 Jun 2009 at 14:43

Cool. Only 5 mins from me.

soundb0y · 13 Jun 2009 at 14:44

Lots of people seem to be living within 5 or so mins of each other here

Tripnologist · 13 Jun 2009 at 15:12

I'm a 10 minute walk away as I live right in the centre. I happen to have a couple weekdays booked off next week so will check it out then in the hopes that it won't be as packed.

MarkDavis · 13 Jun 2009 at 17:08

Where do you lot live then? I'm just off Pembroke Rd, the Triangle end.

Great area Clifton and the surrounds.

I live around 10 miles from Clifton, I'll probably go down sometime next week...

I do know someone who lives on Pembroke Rd, it's a small world!

Am I missing something or is this just really shallow anti-government twaddle?

Look at them, yeah. They're stupid chimps, yeah.
