That's rather good, Don.

Will you be able to show us? Or have to keep it under wraps.

Cheers, zooo. When completed - it'll be kept under lock and key, at least internet-wise.

Once the metal decorations have been handed out, I'll put it on Twitter.

Cool. It's like getting commissioned to paint the Queen!
(Kind of.)

Just received a lovely email from one of my sporting heroes: Mr Kriss Akabusi.

Kriss is a top bloke!

I have a moral dilema.

A friend has asked me to vote on line for his kids Xmas card (he is 8)

the problem is his card is shit and would appear to have made no real effort at all.

where as another kid I know nothing off has really gone for gold.

Do I veneally support another rigged election, or do I support the unknown ?

Yeah, just realised that the little DOT at the end of the pointy stick is meant to be the bee shown on the first frame. So they are doing laser eye surgery on the little boy even though his vision is better than theirs.

The artist didn't really get his point across well.

He did - I'm old but you older ones couldn't see it!

Vot for who you want. They'll never know - unless their kid gets no votes. And who will be shown up then?

As a teacher there is no dilema here. He is 8 years of age. Crush his spirit like it's never been crushed before. If necessary go round his house and punch him in the face explaining his card has driven you to violent outbursts it was so bad. Take it from a professional. He'll thank you for it one day.

Vote for the one you like best, and lie and say you voted for the retarded one. That way you're only lying to save someone's feelings and haven't gone against your voting morals!

Oh dear. I think you'll find it's politically-incorrect to use the word "retarded". Thesedays you should use the word "backwards" or "cretinous" instead.

I love the word cretinous.

It really is :( I can't help it- it's such a good descriptive word.

I did that at the general election and now look at the mess we're in
