I may not be keen on football now but...


In other news I've been playing around with watercolours, what do you think?

The 10 year old dreams that's in the top corner. The thirty*ahemahemahem* year old knows it's on its way into the second tier of the stands.

Behind the touchline...

Watercolours - quite nice. You'll forgive me for saying that I don't think Monet is panicking in his grave, but nice character style.

Yeah, it's no work of art but I thought I'd try and creep into using watercolours a bit thanks for the nice things

I think these are computer-simulated watercolours
because of the absence of anything going hideously wrong.

They are indeed, sorry I didn't mean to imply otherwise :) if it were real life watercolour done by me it'd look like an explosion in a watercolour paint factory

Same here, that just seems to be how watercolours work
I think a controlled explosion is the best you can hope for.

The easiest way to make watercolours work
is to pretend that everything was deliberate.

Also works well as a philosophy of life.

No
Sometimes it is easier to pretend things were accidental in real life.
