Thoughts on life, the universe and everything, links to my paintings, things curious and strange, and anything at all that reminds us of who we are or who we might become.

Hung parliament - talk to the prawn
A little anecdote I feel should not be entirely lost in the fading memory of time:
Round the corner from the Cheese Shop in Greenwich, London, is a small shop selling excellent fresh fish. On the day of the election results my informant who works in the Cheese Shop observed a man outside, evidently the worse for drink, come round the corner from the fish shop and, taking a large prawn from a bag, held it in front of him.
Staring into its beady black eyes he intoned:
"It's a hung parliament! A hung parliament!"
Just thought people should know.
