A Small Complaint (aka the A to Z of Captain Vimes' follies)

First up, I'm not discussing the politics.

Second up, this is the only verified(?) picture of Churchill by Sutherland. All other portraits were destroyed on Churchill's, Lady Churchill's orders.

When I say verified, how much can you trust the internet?

I do like it though whether it's official, by Sutherland or not. It's good.

I'm annoying myself now.

Self portrait with monkey always gets my vote.

Oh, that's very nice isn't it? It's so nice to know that differing opinions are so respected on this forum.....well if you like portraits with monkeys, here's a funny Babecap where, if you look closely, a monkey is about to bite her toe!:

Okay, I'll lower my nose and come down to gutter level that prevails on this forum.

Look at this cheeky chappy whose obviously ripped off my avatar.

Rembrandt I think his name is, he's certainly got some cojones copying my original avatar. Dutch, I think.

Hopper. I effing love this. Despair and hope summed up.



Luckily for you lot I have two weeks holiday. Yay for me.

Nightmares for you. I can keep this up.

In the words of Benny Hill during the Italian Job, the proper one.

....as I've clearly touched a nerve with Capt Vimes, here are a few more of Da Vinci's long-lost early attempts to paint the Mona Lisa....
