    Saw him.

    Had the sound down though, so I dunno what he said.

    Looked a bit like Kenny Everett.

    He was passionate but just saying to graduates "Go out there and do what you were trained in!" well end in tears. All the galleries will be filled with Arts students nattering on about fine art, and will drive the poor tourists out and tourism down as a result. :cool:

    Also why is there a guy in a white tux in the audience?!

    fine arts guy: and then there's an australian company who only work 4 days of the week and bla bla

    I'm more shocked at the number of AH Boardsies who watch Frontline!!

    This only reinforces the notion that we could indeed run this country :cool:

    yeah, a private forum where elected representives from each forum go to disscuss issues affecting the country. we vote for our reps by poll in each forum.

    our elected fourum BD (BoarDsies) can become ministers by getting the most votes in their section (Rec, soc biz, edu) and our taoiseach is the afterhours vote because it has the highest visitor ship.

    sub threads (ie. afterhours>cool vid and links/gailgeforum) can be our senate.


    cant wait for a mod to get power hungry and install a dictatorship.

    He reminded me of the priest in Father Ted who said "Ted, did you say you were looking for someone with a dramatic voice?" "well then you must excuse my impetuous interruption" in the lingirie dept.

    That O'Granola man basically got an extended free advert for his product. I think he mentioned the name about 7 or 8 times.

    It was beyond hilarious and did lighten the mood a little from some of the other upsetting stories we heard. What a nutter. I love these arty farty types. They take themselves so seriously yet afterwards he was probably off to his drama group to give a dramatic interpretation of the life of a mandarin orange through the medium of dance. Luvvies are great.

    Not trying to be knocking any particular profession, but a 4 year degree in fine arts was never a great way to get a paying job.

    Heh, I'm not quite sure what he was getting at. Is he suggesting artists have a greater say in developing innovative govermental schemes? Or is he just suggesting to allow artists to wander conceptually for four years while developing their arts practice and see what they come up with, in the hope that it would nurture an exciting cultural economy?
