First up, a couple of bon mots from Foo Discovers. Chief among Foo&#8217;s puddings is his shot of a tube ad for Mark Wallinger&#8217;s celebrated mirror TARDIS, formally titled &#8216;Time and relative dimensions in space&#8217; , late of the Venice Biennale, 2001.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"tardmirror\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zeusblog.tetrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/tardmirror.jpg\" alt=\"tardmirror\" width=\"450\" height=\"755\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Good god 2001 is a long time ago! <a href=\"http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/arts-entertainment\/art\/reviews\/the-russian-linesman-hayward-gallery-london-1628644.html?action=Popup\" target=\"_blank\">Here&#8217;s a pic from <em>the Independent <\/em><\/a>showing the work in &#8216;action&#8217;. Phew.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, and more intimately, a flavour of home, abroad. Foo was ever a great attendee of the Wellington &#8216;Chapter&#8217; (ho ho) pub meet at J.J.Murphy&#8217;s, and was a welcome presence in the snug. And so, as a gift to us all back home, he\u00a0provided us a ppicture of what surroundings we could one day\u00a0aspire to be seated in:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"snug\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zeusblog.tetrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/snug.jpg\" alt=\"snug\" width=\"400\" height=\"594\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;Although something tells me membership may be a little select.<\/p>\n<p>Foo also proved himself a right terrier with his search for the Truth about The Doctor. Although it seems he struck a bit of a blind alley with that famous family casping aspergers his way. Still, it was a stressful time and who knows what things grief will drive people to?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1422\" title=\"Jackson\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zeusblog.tetrap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/12\/Jackson.bmp\" alt=\"Jackson\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Ooh!
