Tonight, after seeing Janet Street Porter on Channel 4's The F Word, I remembered how wonderful I think she is.

I have her book "Life's Too F***ing Short" and I say it's a book EVERYONE should own, its one of those you will benefit from reading before a job interview, date, break-up... just about anything!

Anyway have a look through her site its pretty interesting (I like the "look" of it too) AND... I think Damien Hurst drew the portrait of her on the homepage!

"In a bungalow in Peacehaven, by the east Sussex seaside, a 72-year-old man and his 62-year-old wife are planning their future... upon so-called "death", a team of experts must rush to their sides, pump out their blood and fill them with antifreeze."

The Nation's Favourite School Dinner!

Is... A Roast Dinner!

According to the results of an online poll released this week, the nation's favourite school dinner is a roast dinner followed by sponge pudding with custard. Nice to know its not pizza and chips!

A pipping hot roast dinner followed by sponge pudding & custard and a cup of tea sounds amazing to me, after having cheese on toast for tea.

Pen marks - Art Student

This was the first bit of drawing/art/illustration... ANYTHING, that I did after moving to London for University. Thought I'd post it up after one of my flatmates (lucy) asked about it earlier on.

It's a self-portrait, but is more about the term "Art Student" not "this.is.a.drawing.of.David.Lynn".

What do people expect an Art Student to be?

An illustration from a photo of my uncle on Menlove Avenue, Woolton, Liverpool.

I thought the smudged red car in the background said a lot about capturing a time and a place forever in a photograph. Photos like this are my favourite.

"The thing that makes you most memorable,
or most remarkable.
Is the thing that often annoys you about yourself."
-Ronnie Corbett




I watched ITV's "Piers Morgan's Life Stories" at the weekend and even though I am really not keen on Piers, I'm really keen on his interview's. So far my favourites have been...
- Cilla Black (week 1) and Ronnie Corbett (week 4).


Above is something Mr Corbett said that stood out to me.

This saturday his guest is Vinnie Jones, hmmm... I wonder if it will beat last weeks? (doubt it)



p.s. you can watch past episodes at ITV PLAYER
