I shall not trouble you with titles and sizes etc, but here is some work in collage that I managed to produce on my recent trip to France.
But let's get to the chase; the 7*s!!!!
The 7*s lived up to its own slightly surreal reputation tonight. Almost empty at eight: thirty, there were perhaps half a dozen drinkers, including a beautiful, tall young couple eating a very late Sunday lunch, and a cowboy in Stetson and pointy, tooled boots. It reminded me of 'Midnight Cowboy' until I heard his Cornish accent, and his name; "Seth". I realised then that I was in that famous novel by Stella Gibbons.The pub has a new 'chef,' as I might have mentioned before, and as it was Sunday evening, instead of throwing away the leftover roast potatoes and parsnips from lunchtime, they were presented in a dish on the bar. What a good idea! He is a nice young lad who seems to have settled in and who is eager to please.
Ms Gibbons would have been delighted with the 7*s. Seth was a man of few words (like most Cornishmen of course). But he had the perfect physique for films, if only there was a talent spotter from MGM drinking 'Proper Job' with a dash of lime in the 7*s this even
ing.One of the landlord's sons is a powerful rugby man, and tonight he asked us if we thought he had broken his arm! He could move his fingers OK but was quite unable to rotate his wrist when asked. What with that and the swelling and deformation it seemed to me quite likely that he had broken his radius. We drinkers persuaded him to go to the fracture clinic at Treliske in the morning.
Apparently he had made a "sweep" at an opponent's neck, but the chap had put his arms up to defend himself and our hero had hit his elbow. I may have completely misunderstood all that, in which case I apologise without reserve.

Interesting collages, Leg.
I like the rubber dinghy one.
You are enjoying the 7*'s again then?
O.K. I`ve read every blog back to Jan 2008 and commented on many. Nice lot of art work, Leg, especially for a taste bud challenged pretentious middle class Jaguar driver.
Why on earth do you think that anybody is interested in a crap pub when there must be 20 within a 2 mile radius of where everybody lives?
Perhaps you should start a worst pub of the year blog?
Shame you`ve lost a lot of the old responders, I`m most sorry to loose the gentleman of Indian lineage with his stock market tips and eastern philosophy.
cheers!
What about me? I'm still here.
You can tell I've Irish blood can't you.
Hiya A Nonny-mouse,
Lovely to hear from you again you miserable and offensive old git! I thought you were dead.
Not so many of us left now is there? So take care and keep on taking the tablets....
Pip, pip.
All right, Oirish? Have a lovely pint of porter (not in the Leg`s pub, bejaysus)
I rattle of the pills I take, not one of them pshycadelic... I reckon Leg`s got a good source..... maybe down at that crap pub?
As for the Irish football team, they were defeated by `the hand of God` as performed by Thierry Henri, what a bleeding shame.
(see, I do live in the real world!!)
We seem to have lost Legs` philosophical musings (do I recall some kind of monster worship?) and followings of strange writings, I guess you cancelled your subscriptions to the Fortean Times and Mad Magazinw?
Hello Nonny!
Not sailing the 7 seas discoursing on the wonders of the grape? Why would I know what's happening with an Irish football team and who the f**k is Terry 'enry?
I don't recall Leg talking about monsters but that's probably because I don't recall anything more tha a month ago anyway. Who are you?
Wot is all this fugging crap? You them legal immigrants or summut?
Shagga.
Ah! who am I, indeed, thank heavens we have a real live Irish philosopher on the blog (not the bog, I hope)
This is the eternal question which I attempt to solve by imbibing those lovely red, rose and white liquids. After many, many years of searching I`m no closer to the answer but what a journey!
slainte and may the little people be your friends.
(shagga`s brain is obviously, well, shagged)
