GAME WELL AND TRULY OVER

Tate Britain

I really enjoyed my trip to the Tate Britain. My art knowledge is severely lacking, but even I could appreciate an original Monet, not least of all Monet's Water Lilies which adorns many a wall in poster form.

The most interesting piece was Martin Creed's "Work No. 850." I read about it a few months ago and thought to myself "it can't just be someone sprinting down a corridor every minute or so, can it?" And the answer is, yes. It can. I stood around for a while and watched it. The Telegraph quotes Mr. Creed:

"Running is an example of not standing still. I like running. I like seeing people run and I like running myself. Running is the opposite of being still. If you think about death as being completely still and movement a sign of life, then the fastest movement possible is the biggest sign of life. So running fast is like the exact opposite of death - it's an example of aliveness"

Right.

Photography wasn't allowed in the Tate Britain, so I had to be quiet. And quick. And blurry.

Superfan

I went to Liverpool vs Portsmouth in late 2004, and stood next to this Portsmouth supporter in the pub beforehand. He wasn't the best smelling person I've ever come across, but he definitely was passionate.

I later found out that he was a bit of a celebrity, and he legally changed his name to "John Portsmouth Football Club Westwood."

Congrats to him and Portsmouth on their FA Cup victory a few minutes ago.
