I would do a very loud snorty-laugh if I was confronted by the dirty dancers too!

I didn't know Billy Connolly was a sculptor. I've just had a quick look... And.... My partner is Glaswegian and a fan of Billy's. I showed him the photos and said, "Do you know that Billy Connolly is a sculptor?"

"Are you sure?" he replied.

But I'm very envious of your trip to York! I've been a couple of times and stayed at the Bar Convent. I love it there. All thar history!

was v skeptical if it was actually billy connally, they had some bob dylans too with some very bizarre dainty and crafty looking hand writing writing on them which did not scream bob dylan at all.. suspicious!

How strange!

I saw some celebrity art in a gallery in Birmingham by Ronnie Wood from the Rolling Stones. They're not terrible paintings, but they wouldn't be in a gallery if a postman had painted them!

The glass sculpture is tacky and overpriced. Reminds me of the old Harry Enfield antique shop sketch, “I saw you coming.”

Plush upholstery is never going to mean quite what I thought it meant from now on!

If you have a lot of books it might be possible to ship a pallet by sea… in theory that is cheap
