Tony - do you remember the magnificent King Kong in the Manzoni Gardens, by the original Bull Ring Shopping Centre?

Now that was good !!

We all call it the Bangor Bogey 'cos it resembles a lump of sn*t.

Vile isn't it, horseshoes.

Looks like a badly formed part of the digestive system :(

Yes I remember 'King Kong', Dave. It got sold if I remember correctly.

A used car dealer bought it - but I think it's popped up again in Leeds for some reason.

They deserve it, Dave ;-)

Lol sunny Dave. I looked at the artist's website and he has done other, VERY similar things. There's one almost identical, which is supposed to be for office workers to go and work in the quiet! Can't believe this is called art, but I don't blame the artist: if he can find idiots to buy it......

Also, it's supposed to represent a quarryman's cabin. For one thing, it would therefore be built of slate, and another, the quarrymen didn't have a space for going to do their dreaming! They didn't have time to dream; they were worked like dogs. Also why not have a Welsh artist's work on display. The whole thing STINKS! See you've got me all worked up now!

They should think themselves lucky. Give 'artists' free reign and you could end up with half a sheep in an unmade bed.
