I hope it's not just me who's finding tonight's cash in on Remembrance Day to be in quite astonishingly poor taste. They're currently selling watches with pictures of veterans and war victims in the background.

Is there not some kind of law against this kind of thing?

People died in wars to make sure there aren't laws against this kind of thing.

What's the story with Peter Simon?


He's poorly. Visibly lost a lot of weight this year.

I can see that, I mean has he acknowledged it or said why?

On Friday he said he had recently been in hospital with septicaemic and pneumonia, but made specific mention of the fact he did not appreciate speculation about his condition.

I didn't really get it.

What is the point of it? It isn't close enough to Bid to make it a parody, noting funny happens so it isn't a comedy, you can't actually buy the painting so it's not a commercial venture. The graphics are poor so it isn't any good as a design mock. What was it trying to achieve?

Look at the credits too, it some how takes 9 people (not including Stephen Gayford himself) to make what is essentially just under three minutes of a camera zooming, panning and tilting around a painting. That's probably more crew than are working on Bid at any one time.

I just don't get it at all.

"Funded by Arts Council England."

Oh, I just got it. Bloody long-haired dirty scrounging students. Get a job.

To be honest, a well-selected clip of bid would have more artistic merit.

It finished at 3am! Then the JML products took over. The presenter was a face I haven't seen before and apparently she is back at 1.30am on the 7th December.
