DON'T JUST DO IT, B & Q IT

Yes, it's that time of year again when the £25,000 Turner Prize is awarded. As you probably know it went to the "shed" which apparently was dismantled, turned into a boat, floated and then re-assembled as a shed.

So, your DIY skills can win you the Turner Prize now, and secondly what a monumental waste of time.

Anyway read this:

The artist has said that his works are the physical manifestation of my thought process. Tate curators hailed the shed as poetic . . a buttress against the pressures of modernity, mass production and global capitalism. They added: For each project, he has learnt particular skills model-making, boat-building, engineering ... but always stopping short of complete mastery. We can sense, in the visible fissures and joins of his works, the signs of a paradoxical amateur professionalism.

Can't you just picture some anally rententive, superior being spouting off the above, whilst waving his glass of expensive bubbly around to make us all aware of his supreme powers of insight and superior knowledge, that none of us who gaze in wonder at a bloke getting an artistic accolade for re-assembling a shed and a back hander of £25,000 could possibly appreciate.

Pass me the sick bag.
