Here Banksy rather humorously juxtaposes the cliché artist, with moustache, beret and palette,…read moreworking on a decidedly less high brow art work depicting a scribble of a huge male member. The artist is also wearing a ball and chain, with a dollar sign on the ball. I'm not sure what conclusion I'd want to draw, but I guess the piece certainly summarises the debates about Banksy himself. Art or just daubs? Pretensions of grandeur? Destroyed by money, or elevated beyond his natural position by the hype? A couple of changes have been made. The council (apparently) have partially obscured the male member, though it's still pretty clear what it's meant to represent. As for the person who's added their opinion that Banksy is a **, I don't think they've given much thought to what they are doing. Their banal addition rather demonstrates they are the one with pretensions of grandeur if they think they can comment! This is on the side of a restaurant on the junction of Shafton Road and Victoria Park Road.

I've found this piece of art yesterday night (Feb 21st 2012) by accident as I was surfing Hackney…read moreby car in search of graffiti. When I saw it I almost had no doubt it was made by Banksy, and as it took me a good hour to find this first and only painting in Hackney, I interpreted it not only as the sign of the end of free art this would be no news! but also as the end of street art. All in all this classic looking artist is not trying to paint a beauty on a canvas, but a rebel sign on a public wall, while his leg is locked with this ball with the money sign. So when I associate all this with the fact that all Hackney walls are now purified from graffiti, I'm just left with the impression that art was finally killed, both indoor and in the streets.

So people may think I'm crazy but I booked a trip to Paris and Finland this June and made sure to…read morefly into London so I could visit pooh corner. I am a Huge EEYORE fan and last time I came to London I didn't have a chance to go and I promised myself I would come to the birthplace of my favorite character. I didn't realize how far out from the city it was but boy was it beautiful! The ride there and it's surroundings. The staff at pooh corner cafe was very sweet and helpful. My train from london to paris was a few short hours away.... So yes.....I literally flew into london for a few hours just to go to pooh corner and pooh bridge! The love for Eeyore and my best friends love for Pooh made this trip easy and fun! Best way to find it is if you visit pooh corner cage they will give you a map and tell you exactly how to get there. Once you see the sign you keep walking for a few minutes and you will find the iconic bridge. It's is BEAUTIFUL....so peaceful I could stay and relax there for a bit. Yes you are in the "100 acre woods" which is technically Ashdown forrest. It's the bridge that you see in the winnie the pooh cartoons ...the bridge that is said to be the one A.A. milne and his son a.k.a. Christopher Robin would play at. For a die hard fan this is a must do!! Happy yelping mis amigos!!

This is the ultimate gem for any Winnie the Pooh fan. - to come to Ashdown Forest and play…read morePoohsticks on Poohsticks Bridge Built in 1907 and originally called Posingford Bridge, it is considered to be the bridge on which Milne and his son first played the game. Its continued popularity led to a campaign to rebuild in the 1970s. The bridge was subsequently reopened by Christopher Robin Milne and officially renamed as Poohsticks Bridge However, continued tourist traffic necessitated a further rebuild in 1999 and Disney, who now own the rights to Winnie the Pooh and other donors funded the reconstruction to the bridge which stands there today. The walk from the nearest car park is however not the easiest with a fair slope and distance. However, for true fans, it is worth it. Visitors aiming to play Poohsticks on the bridge are requested to bring their own sticks to avoid damage to nearby trees There are now even a World Poohsticks Championships held annually in Dorchester but for true fans, Poohsticks Bridge is the only place to drop your stick into the water and rush over to the other side to see whose stick emerges first For those of you who would like to practise, here are the official rules for Poohsticks: http://www.poohsoc.org.uk/sticks/rules.html

AMERICA F**C YEAH!…read more Would you believe me if I said that my highlight of moving here to London thus far involves dressing like a Texas dream come true, motorboating a bobble head Abraham Lincoln (who's honest now, Abe?), shotgunning Budweisers and screaming out the entire pledge of allegiance in the middle of Hoxton Square? I didn't think so. ...neither did the hundreds of Brits that witnessed all 40 of us in our Faux-American splendor running around Shoreditch being, well, as American as possible. It was basically 1776 all over again, just with a lot more booze and f**c yeah-isms.

Epic! No other word for it. I wasn't entirely sure I was going to have a good time at this, because…read morewhen anyone ever tells me that something will be 'the best fun you'll ever have', my Irish cynicism raises its head and goes 'heh we'll see'. But GoGame really is that good and I swear I am not still bitter that we came last (okay fine, FINE, I am still bitter). Laura and I decided to go as America, red, white and blue to the core and underwear, in my case. When we got there, Chris and Mei, the GoGamers extraordinaire were dressed in the cutest orange jumpsuits. They really rock this thing, with a hilarious game script, buckets of enthusiasm and fantastic game actors. We ran around, got ridiculously obnoxious, yelled 'America loves you' at so many people and filmed the Moon landing. Yes, conspiracy theorists, it was filmed, by us and a three legged dog called Cosmo. The challenges make sure that you have to be really inventive and the time limits mean you can't just piss around, but have to do it now, now! We totally bonded as a team over figuring out questions and what would make the best video concepts. Then we invaded Canada, also known as Leon's girlfriend Sarah. Afterwards we got to see all the teams' videos and pictures, some with magic! My team was the awesomest by far, with epic players Lizzie G. Chris R. Vicky L. and the lovely Zara. Sing it now, we are family! P.s. That's a 100 biatch!
