free all round the country, dear

So I can go the Abergavenny Shoe Museum for free?
Great news! No more tedious hours trudging round the mediocrities on display at the British Museum, the National Gallery and the British Library for me!!!

This has made my day - SHOE MUSEUM HERE I COME!!!!!

I suppose she has a point actually.
I mean, we don't have the Gavin & Stacey Tour here.

Yeah, but all the good stuff is here...
When I visit the provinces I do like seeing the pencil sketches of bowls of fruit drawn by miners shaky with pleurisy, mind you.

you went to the wrong one, then

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 30 Oct 2012, 9:23, Reply)

The wrong province?
Or the wrong 'give the working class a paintbrush' museum?

Elgin Marbles? 'Schmelgin Schmarbles', I say!

Yeah, the Louvre, the Smithsonian and the Uffizi have naught but shite in them these days.

Some of Wales's most popular attractions listed right here.

I'm not defending Wales
Jesus, Monty, I'm all for playing devil's advocate in online debates but even I can't defend that.

I was merely suggesting that London doesn't quite have "all the good stuff"

We have the Ashmolean,
Oldest museum in the UK and largest collection of something or other. I never really paid attention to be honest.

You also have the Pitt Rivers museum which is one of my all time favourite places in Britain.

Did you see the tall mouse?
I fucking love that mouse. Come visit you scrotumfaced prune.

I'm not sure they are even in the same country that we are talking about.
I mean, I'm no geography professor, so I may be wrong.

what's country got to do with "London has all the good stuff" ? you never said "in the UK"
incidentally, if you're going down that line of defence, Wales is a different country and all. Just.

I'd go back to the point where Cavy said 'Free all round the country, my dear'
and follow the conversation from there as a starting point.

OK, National Museum of Scotland. MOMI in Bradford.
The Kelvingrove. The Lowry.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 30 Oct 2012, 9:43, Reply)

Yeah, all shit.
Lowry is the definitive 'give the working class a paintbrush' museum.

And shove it next to the Cadbury's Outlet shop while we're at it, so the fat northerners can munch their grubby way around while sheltering from the polluted industrial rain.


OK, I am being a cunt for the sake of being a cunt now. I actually quite like The Lowry. I mean, it's small and has 6 pictures in it, but they are good ones...

Are you channelling Monty again, dear?

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 30 Oct 2012, 9:47, Reply)

I channelled him til he couldn't walk straight.
