National Portrait Gallery's website

I am trying to get into the NPG's website and it no longer seems to exist! Has anyone else had this problem? I am trying to find out about the Shakespeare exhibition on there at the moment

It's still there, so it's probably just a glitch or gremlin in the works. Thanks for pointing out the exhibition by the way. I quite fancy a peek at that myself.

No no no - get to the Scottish National Portrait Gallery - much more fun! Shakespeare?? hah - we've got cartoons of Carol Smillie, Rod Stewart and Billy Connolly on exhibition: http://www.natgalscot.ac.uk/index.asp?centre=html/2-galleries/2-indGalleryFS.asp?gallery=2-b

Just remember Shakespeare would have had an accent very close to Brummie - now that throws the idea of Larries '...is this a dagger I see before me?....' doesn't it?

Thanks Drusilla1S - this worked but it was strange why I couldn't get into their website!! Thanks,

Nickmo - Thanks .. maybe I should check out all those Scottish cultural icons (no Sheena Easton??)

Hi kislondon - well it does state Colin and Justin are included - can't get any higher culturally than that pair, eh no? there are apparently 250 caricatures, so maybe there is a chance 'ol Sheena is included.

What's she doing now anyway?

Well had to find out and ta daaaaa! Her site: http://www.sheenaeaston.com/ and oh goody - concert coming up in Chicago! $350 a seat, but it does include a meal and AIDS charity donation...

And have a look at the .co.uk site: http://www.sheenaeaston.co.uk/ - blimey - re-release of the 1989 album - now thats worth plugging........
