Damien Hurst Exhibition

Went to see the Damien Hurst Exhibition at Tate Modern, London.I went round with 5 children ,they enjoyed it,a severed bleeding pig's head with accompanying maggots and flies is just the sort of thing 9 year old boys like.Not so sure about Grannies.

The accompanying literature says "Hurst presents cigarette butts lined along shelves of a cabinet as if they were natural history exhibits, extending his use of museological display techniques"

Ever heard the expression gobshite Damien?

Singapore- what is it like?

Several people have asked me what Singapore is like.

Think of an Asian Paris.A lovely city with wide avenues lined with exotic trees and flowers.Expensive shops , underground malls to protect you from the heat and rain, restaurants of every kind. A clean, well run city where nobody asks you for" spare change", vomits in the street or mugs you . A population of very hard working courteous people.

Yes, there are strict penalties for those who break the law but so what, it is a relief to walk around in a safe city , makes some of our western cities seem crude and out of control.
