Landscapes

This exhibition was at the National Theatre, in one of the foyer areas.

Namur Musee de Sport

Sadly the town of Namur, in Belgium, does not really have a Museum of Sport.
But as I am a good friend of Nicolas Lucas, & his very understanding other half Danuta, the room at the top of their house is the next best thing! It is worth visiting them just to see this little treasure trove, & even though Danuta still moans at me for not learning French she still speaks to me when I visit, even though i make Nicolas take me off to football everywhere! Love them both! ;-)
Not surprisingly as he is a big Paris Saint Germain supporter, there is a large amount of PSG memorabilia.

An ordinary door...but the poster on the door, from their visit to Dover Athletic versus Dulwich Hamlet in August 2007, gives you an idea of the 'secrets' inside...













A number plate 'acquired' by Nicolas in Paris, it is from a Marseille registered car! ;-)





And so much stored in boxes...time for an extension? ;-)

Hayward Gallery, Waterloo, SE1 (TWWSI)

One of the more recent subjects for 'TWWSI'. Unfortunately the Hayward Gallery is an ugly modernist concrete building, not one of my favourite locations. To make it worse I took these three days before the deadline & forgot to submit my choices! Doh!

Art at the museum

These works of art are currently on display at the British Museum, for the Statuephilia exhibition. Five contemporary works of art, that are dotted around the Museum, until 25th January 2009.

Spitting image

This was taken in early 2007. I was in Paris with the Dulwich Hamlet Supporters' team, who were playing our good friends from the Belgian branch of the Paris Saint Germain Supporters' Club.
The chap on the left is one of our number, Hutty. (AKA One Eye; AKA Fidel)
On the right, plastered over all the billboards was Abbe Pierre, who died just before our visit!

The magic of the Cup!

At first glance

an ordinary building, in Hanbury Street...



But on looking at the plaque it has an interesting history
