Sky Arts’ weekly round-up of the week in Trafalgar Square was a classic this week. One of the guests in the studio was Brian Sewell. I have always thought he is a bit of a cock but I have changed my mind now and revised my opinion of him downwards.

Lucky escape for the Trafalgar Square crowds

I received the email today that told me I was not picked for the final tranche of people to take their place on the 4th plinth as part of Antony Gormley’s One & Other. While I am a little disappointed, that is far outweighed by relief. I have seen quite a few of the past […]
Ashes

I’m not really into the cricket, but even I have heard about this Ashes thing. Presumably there will be the now-traditional open-topped bus in Trafalgar Square in the next day or two. Could be interesting for whoever is on the 4th plinth at the time. Depending on their outlook they will either feel totally upstaged, […]
Local boy on the plinth

I was browsing through the One & Other web site today, looking for the video of the bloke who did a Tony Hancock impersonation. I didn’t find him, but I did find ‘bobnoxious‘ who looked very familiar… it is indeed a keen cyclist and photographer from Crawley. Never met him, but he is one of […]
One & Other

I watched the Sky Arts roundup of this week’s plinth action tonight because Andrew said there was a good chance of his Thriller dance being on there if they could clear the music rights. It looks like they couldn’t because he was nowhere to be seen. On the plus side, Clive Anderson’s place was taken […]
More plinthness

A few thoughts about the One & Other project: I have been looking at a few of the archives of plinthers and it occurs to me that the whole thing has the potential to be like a bite-sized Big Brother. This is not a bad thing… imagine being in Big Brother. It goes on for […]
Zombies in Trafalgar Square

This afternoon I made the short journey up to London to go and see Andrew do his thing in Trafalgar Square as part of Anthony Gormley’s One & Other project. I went for several reasons: to support Andrew, to support a good cause, to get some use out of my cameras, and because…Â well I […]
A plinth among men!

A little while back I mentioned how Andrew from Wongablog was going to be appearing on the 4th plinth in Trafalgar Square as part of Antony Gormley’s One & Other project. I was a bit jealous about that, especially as he got allocated a prime slot (4pm on a Sunday) but I’m now hoping that […]
