News, Local history and Thanet issues from Michael's Bookshop in Ramsgate see www.michaelsbookshop.com I publish over 200 books about the history of this area click here to look at them.
Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
How would you characterize this work Michael ?
ReplyDeleteDoes "Gull label" get somewhere near the mark ?
"My goodness other talking head have you heard about Margate's venture into the arts as an engine for regeneration ?"
"Why yes remeinds me of my apprenticeship ?"
"Reminds you of your apprenticeship you say ?"
"Yes back in my teens I learned how to use a centre lathe. My hobby was gym training at the factory recreation club took up all my spare time"
"Gym training you say ?"
"Yes the factory recreation club provided a fitter turner centre"
"My god man one day humour like that will be iconic mark my words."
Good to see Thanet's literary wits and art critics are in such fine form. Nice sunset picture though, Michael.
ReplyDeleteSorry Bluenote, Retired. I was so bowled over by this work of art that I didn’t know what to say in terms of artistic criticism, I have calmed down a bit now, so here we go.
ReplyDeleteThe appeal of this futuristic vision encompasses the sheer ebullience of the digital vision. This dream shocks and excites, draws attention and interest.
Will that do?
Just for once Retired has managed to post without mentioning conspiracies, private armies, terrorist organisations or dodgy chemical companies. And he even managed a couple of mildly amusing jokes. Maybe for once a bit of credit for a good try rather than the usual Thanet put down. Might encourage him to try again!
