Aye he was quite great. He only dabbled in art, and I think he used a ruler -couldn't quite get out of Engineer mode, as he was an Engineer. He was trying to design a pistonless engine years ago, Mazda have just cracked it, yeah zoom zoom zoom zooom.
He also invented the first replaceable 'tooth' for JCBs!

A few months ago I had to visit my dad's aunt and uncle who live in umm England (I was never good at 'jograffy') and on the drive home we passed somewhere that was having a Rolf Harris exhibition, I was tempted to stop, but I didn't.

But when it came to art it was all about Rolf's Cartoon Club. I even remember the theme tune...

On a similar note, don't you HATE when they do a "can you tell what is it yet?" and instead of leaving it till it's finished, they keep showing you wide shots so you can guess before it's done.
It that just me?? It's SO ANNOYING.

If every piece of art Mr. Harris ever created was burned on a giant bonfire, I would not shed a tear.

Hmmm, 20th on Granby Street. I may well be there Ooh, good, how will we know you? Eeek, I only saw this today, and this show thing by my reckoning will be tommorow. I look a little like this: www.drownedinsound.com/users/profile.php?action=view&id=5386Obviously I don't look like a link, and I'm the one on the left, I probably wont have the strange expression on my face or be as intoxicated...

Thanks, I doubt I will recognise you, but hopefully John will be there to act as intermediary. Otherwise, just tell us how much you're lobing the show. See you ;D
