The Cultural Government

Had a lovely time last Saturday when in a bar with some VIPs from the cultural government. They may have annoyed the bar staff, they may not have paid for any drinks but they did show us their cultural side…

1) Music

They love nothing better than to take a classic chinese song and massacre it as they try to expel their larynx over the mic

2) Art

One of the party decided to do an installation of his own all over a toilet cubicle…

Maybe a tribute to Anton Henning’s “Meatballs, Gherkins, Beetroot, Potatoes, Watermelon, Lemon Juice, Riesling, and Large Brownie” [1]

3) Dance

A very contemporary dance for 3 male dancers, one in the middle with his trousers down symbolising how the western economies were caught out by the economic crisis

 

My friend from Yorkshire not being so cultured insisted they were just a bunch of disgusting arrogant drunks.

Incidently I think I established today that you really do learn something new every day!

Along with the other things I learnt this year I did learn that robins see magnetic fields using their right eye, so a robin blind in the right eye is not so hot on its navigation skills. Cannot remember which day I learnt that odd fact though…
