There was only one person there that was not only consuming far more than a reasonable amount even demanding the stuff by half pint measures, I don't suppose there's much chance of you remembering who she was though.
A picture of that wouldn't have been art but would have shown someone in her true colours, various shades of green if I recall.

To be fair, I was chanting 'Down in one, down in one, down in one', as yet another large glass of the evil brew was necked.

It was one of the more memorable of the Accy Web meets.
Considering how mental some of the others were, that means it must have been a good one.

Yep, it's called a thread wander. We're quite partial to 'em here on Accyweb. If you don't like it, I suggest you mosey on over to another thread.

Re: Do you class photography as art, and if so do you have anybodys work on your wall
To get back on thread, thought I'd share the work of a young photographer with local connections. Born in France, her mother is Ossy born and bred - Lauren grew up in Clitheroe from the age of 10 and got her BA in photography at Leeds University a couple of years ago. This is her Flicka work but if you Google her you can find a lot more -particularly her short film work on Vimeo.com as well as her own blog.
It is artistic photography!
Lauren
Edit - fixed the link now - Neil

Yes you're right, it's up to the individual's taste, but having said that I can't believe you don't like my wonderful Klimt! I think you may need to look at a bit more of his work! (I really am only joking but I absolutely do love his art)! His exhibition in Liverpool moved me to tears and I plan to go to Vienna to see most of the rest of his exhibited stuff.

True.
Horses for courses.
Though I'm with you, at the Vienna course.
Fantastic painter.
