It's always good to know about local bloggers!<br /><br />We sometimes talk about the Word Verification words here and what they might mean. It's <i>musneswi</i> at the moment, which sounds like I must do something in a broad Yorkshire accent ;)VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-61895615001185629232009-08-14T02:24:33.248+01:002009-08-14T02:24:33.248+01:00Great word that! ;-)

I like how you're also extending what you're doing via your page on One and Other.<br /><br />I visited the Hay Festival in May where an artist was doing a similar project there. He was asking for our <i>favourite</i> word - either real or made up, together with our own definition of its meaning. Most people gave a real word, so I decided to give my favourite made up word - grumplebum - which is my husband when he's in a bad mood!VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-28702786953062355632009-08-13T15:04:57.964+01:002009-08-13T15:04:57.964+01:00There were a lot of reasons why I went onto the Fo...There were a lot of reasons why I went onto the Fourth Plinth, and I hope most questions will be answered by my video archive on my Plinth Page:<br /><a href="http://www.oneandother.co.uk/participants/Alan_S" rel="nofollow">Alan's Fourth Plinth page</a><br /><br />And on my BBC interview straight after:<br /><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8176398.stm" rel="nofollow">Alan's BBC Fourth Plinth interview</a><br /><br /><br />AlanArea 17https://www.blogger.com/profile/07472190637554124160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-55555829568668647942009-07-19T11:35:59.179+01:002009-07-19T11:35:59.179+01:00Anna - I haven't really thought it through. I ...Anna - I haven't really thought it through. I like the idea of doing something like the pinhole camera picture. Something that needs a bit of setting up and time and results in a unique souvenir of the experience. Or maybe turning the whole plinth into a garden for an hour - though that could be a bit difficult as you're limited to what you can carry onto the cranelift and I'd have to get it from Chippenham to London in the first place. Or how about making something simple and getting onlookers to make it with you and getting them all displayed on the plinth as they're made?<br /><br />Elizabethm - that sounds lovely. An hour for yourself, enjoying what you like doing.<br /><br />LGF - I believe at least one person's done that already. Just make sure you take something comfy to rest on :)<br /><br />EG - hopefully they have some friends there too to counteract the presence of the drunks!VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-41125898577185279082009-07-17T16:10:48.175+01:002009-07-17T16:10:48.175+01:00I think the whole event is a great idea though the...I think the whole event is a great idea though the thought of going on the plinth myself is too horrible to contemplate. <br />I was surprised that it was 24hrs as it can't be much fun being stuck there at 2am with only passing drunks as an audience:-).easygardenerhttp://greenforks.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-29018912635794869582009-07-17T12:26:30.624+01:002009-07-17T12:26:30.624+01:00A whole hour, no kids to take care of, nothing to ...A whole hour, no kids to take care of, nothing to do?

I have read about this and seen it featured on the news but had not realised it was going on 24/7. I shall certainly peek in again so thanks for the link VP. I would have to be dragged kicking and screaming to that plinth so I have no ideas as to what I would do with that hour :) What about you ?Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.com
