Banksy at Bristol Museum
- Thread starter big eejit
- Start date
is it free?
that's true. ghastly place, full of whiny lean chavs and their obese partners whom they have fattened with greasy maccyD's, Greggs, and children, all speaking in that nasal twang 'ere our declan where's me daps'. all trying to look cool hanging around in the graveyard of culture that exists like a scab in broadmead; cabot circus. meanwhile the rest of broadmead is dying on its arse haunted by the keening wails of over exuberant and annoying chuggers and christian zealots. you never know what is enougn, until you know what is more than enough. expect poison from the standing water.
castle park is nice though (in the daytime).

My colleague keeps calling Banksy 'BANSKI', like, I dunno, a swedish word for bank or something. I need to get der monies from der Banski!!
no you are.

She looks like Alan Gilzean
The Swedish word for bank is bank. I think you're thinking of the dodgy Icelanders!

I hummus, therefore I am ...
The queues were huge when I cycled past at around 2.45 sunday afternoon.
Clearly the defacing of his outdoor works haven't dented people's enthusiasm.

The queue wasn't that bad when I went, but it was just before the school holidays.
I liked it more than I thought I would - I queued for half an hour & such were the crowds, I was prepared to wander off and look at the rest of the exhibition.
The little drawing of a woman hanging out a zebra's stripes to dry, and the model of a fur coat up a tree with its belt moving like a tail were my favourites.

Went this afternoon. Joined queue at 11.20, got in about 2 hrs later. During which time some bloke in a BMW pulled up and yelled "Get a life" at the queue (was it Geri?!)
Frankly I don't think it was worth it. Pushing a small child around in a pram made it quite tiresome trawling through the galleries to try to work out which bits had been "subverted". I particularly didn't get the Countryside Alliance placard in the middle of the stuffed animals display - what did that say? Make a link between dead animals, and, errr, people who like killing animals? Wildly clever! I'm not very interested in the "Banksy/Wanksy" debate that some people seem to have become very excercised about. I've liked his grafitti stuff in the past, but the exhibition didn't do it for us. Some clever stuff, but you'll have seen it all on the telly in the reports on the exhibition.
This was my favourite bit:

Aye, but then I wouldn't have been able to judge for myself - or experience the joys of Bristol community spirit standing two hours in a queue!

We looked at the queue, yesterday...
Then decided it was far too long, and went for a wander round the Harbourside Festival - which was also very busy, and not particularly exciting.

Hoping to get to this next week or the week after...
What are the queues like during the week at the mo? Not as bad as the weekends hopefully...
I guess the end of August will be really busy as it ends then...

Could someone set up a queue webcam please so I can monitor it in real time?

No, but I did get a free copy of the Observer sport supplement... after I fished it out of one of the bins. Apparently Michael Owen has moved to Manchester United - hoodathunkit?
If you're going (Paul), bring something to read in the queue!

My Mum went there today, she texted me at 11.30 to say she'd been there 1 1/2 hours and had another hour to wait
