And yes again, garinda keeps the site alive, but that dont mean he's fire proof and cant be assailed by us lurkers when we think he is wrong.

After all in this thread we have less than 30 voters....does that mean we have only 30 people who are interested in the thread?

Are people only measured by post count? I could answer my own over and over and over and over and over again to get my post count up if you want. In fact I could even answer my own posts too!

Quality counts over quantity every time.

But you're still bottom of the heap.

He's hardly worth bothering to respond to.

To use an art analogy.

He's a crocheter, to my Caravaggio.

Read his old posts.

A comic work of art.

Priceless.

Do your usual search of previous posts and give me proof of my racist, anti-islamic comments please.

To use a Lancastrian analogy :

What's a caravan got to do with it?

When in doubt..Insult

Oh Guiness thanks for the memories, unfortunately you are useless for anything else, we've all moved on since then except...

YOU?

Think they should start a new thread ? "Battle of the G's !" "The G sport ?" just suggestions mind.

It was never destined to be much of a battle.

Certainly not a battle of wits, with equal footing.

As an art form, sadly predictable.

As for the spoils of war.

Anyone tired with boring old sheep's head stew, and fancies an Irish one, for a change?

No.

You can't afford my fee.

Do your own work, or apply for funding.

Anyone bored enough, or in need of a good laugh, can click on your username, and therefore read through your old posts, and can decide on their tone, if not their value, for themselves.

Oh he's good for more than that.

He once told me, under pressure, where his pot of gold was.

I invested it in community art.

You are as entitled to believe what is right or wrong, just as anyone else is.

However, whilst I have breath in my body, I will continue to say what I think is right and wrong too.

I think it is very wrong that tax payers' money is squandered on community arts, and that the cost to the public is cloaked in secrecy, when our government quite clearly states that all funding costings for such things should be transparent.

Lurk away if you will, but if you're bored, stop reading, because my lungs are full, and it's unlikely I'm about to draw my last breath anytime soon.

I'm sure we'll all have learnt the steps soon, and we'll then consider it money very well spent.

Although if you'd gone down the more tradition route, the costs would have been zilch...

Make sure details of event, and video showing what people should do at allotted time of flash mob, are sent to every school, youth club, community centre, whoever else might be interested, in the area.

Sit back, and watch it happen.

No fees, no admin. charges, no charge for performance co-ordination.

Nothing required from the public purse at all.

A great fat zero, and a saving of £1,160.00

That has to be a first, even for an accyweb pedant/troll/spammer....quoting and responding to ones own post..

There's always one...sits at the end of the bar, bores the crap out of everyone, keeps on harping on the same point..over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Why not just use copy/paste and a disclaimer..something along the lines of 'here is yet another post from me in this thread where I am posting the same thing AGAIN but one or two words may be added in yet another vain attempt at humour/wit/sarcasm/irony/name dropping' (delete as appropriate)

who you calling irish ... im a proud lancashire lass ....

No one has mentioned Cllr. Britcliffe in this thread, until you've just done so.

Care to share your surrealist musings, and what on earth they mean, with the rest of us, in relation to this thread's subject?

Which in case you didn't know, is 'the value of publicly funded art'.
