| m8e Rank: Ozzy | Sadie Plant's favourite things posted on: 5/28/2008 6:42:15 PM One of the most interesting writers and thinkers to have emerged from Birmingham in recent times, Sadie will be giving a talk at Ikon Gallery on 18th June as part of a series entitled "These are a few of my favourite things." Loosely based on Desert island Discs, these events involve the presentation of eight artistic experiences illustrated by a slide show. The event starts at 6.30pm and is free, but places must be reserved by calling 0121 248 0708. |

replied on: 6/13/2008 9:24:22 AM If Sadie's talk is going to be anything like the one Brian Duffy (of Modified Toy Orchestra fame) gave at Ikon on Wednesday, it should be quite an event. Eloquently and entertainingly discussing such diverse subjects as the analogue synthesiser, Buckminster Fuller's geodesic architecture, Einstein's theory of relativity, and Bob Hoskins taking a shower in The Long Good Friday, Brian's talk ended with eveyone knocking-back free vodka (with the ironic exception of Charlie Mitton, who's in recovery mode at the moment) while listening to the Human League. Cool. |

replied on: 6/13/2008 7:34:41 PM Sounds riveting. I must make a note in my diary. Then again, I could always ask my postman what his favourite things are and save myself the busfare. Who the ****are Sadie Plant and Brian Duffy to expect normal tax-paying folk to want to go and see them, whoever the ****they are, at some poncy fucking art gallery mouthing fucking off about what they fucking like? Who gives a flying ****what they fucking well like? Cunts. |

replied on: 6/14/2008 9:38:48 AM It doesn't count as 'foisting' when we're all so eager to hear it. Lay on, MacPeaky. *** Meanwhile, is there a link for these talk thingies? I distantly recall reading somewhere that Catherine O'Flynn was doing one. |

So how about a bit of positivity for a change? I mean surely there must be some things you get pleasure from that you could share with us. Or are they all illegal? BTW - yes Russ - Catherine O'Flynn will be giving the 6th talk in the series on 9th July.

Unless of course Deckster and peaky are actually one and the same person. Now that would almost be quite interesting. |

replied on: 7/1/2008 11:27:00 AM Proof there is no God. Omnipresent (or allgegenwärtig in German) and omniscient, yet frustratingly for you, I note you are not omnipotent. Close, but no cigar. |
