Our 'O' level maths papers had a note at the top stating that " Electronic calculators must not be used." These were also the days of " ...and show your working out in the margins." Proper maths, then. We learned the basics so well that it stuck for life. Isn't that what good education is all about? The only 'special' thing I had to provide was an Osmiroid italic fountain pen.

I've been meaning to post this for ages. This is Banksy's "Devolved Parliament", painted in 2009. It's about to go under the hammer and is expected to fetch between £1.5m and £2m The painting measures 4.46 metres by 2.67 metres -- the largest known canvas by the anonymous street artist.

Did not make me laugh at the time but last month a stupid Electrician fried my USB double socket putting a 500V test thru the circuit, instead of physically disabling them first..

" ...expected to sell for between £1.5m and £2m" It's just sold for £9,879,500. Banksy reacted on Instagram, saying it was a "record price for a Banksy painting" and "shame I didn't still own it".

Rod never really gave a toss about much. After his recent cancer problem and clear up I bet Sir Rod gives even less of a toss.
