To be fair, if you’re given a whole hour to stand up and say or do whatever you want – you’ve got the attention of hundreds of people, an audience for whatever you want to say – why on earth do some people get up there and do nothing?

Like come on, these are the same people who’ll have a good rant about TFL or their bike getting nicked in the pub with their mates, but then do naff all about it when they’re given a podium for their thoughts. It could be a lot more interesting than it is.

Jesus. I don’t like some art therefore I hate everyone?! Steady on.

I don’t think it’s balls. It might not be the most fascinating show to watch – an hour of someone waving at people they know does start to grate after about 15 minutes – but I don’t think that it’s supposed to be particularly riveting – it’s not theatre. It’s art. What is it about people having their 60 minutes on a plinth that seems to offend you so much? If this is supposed to be a reflection of society today then it seems you have nothing but contempt for all of them, which is pretty depressing.

I concur. It’s balls.

Although must argue that a Monster Munch shortage plagueing my home town of Donny is a plight well worth advertising.

I look forward to reading more of your work.
