I liked Nikita Khrushchev because he told it how it was. Visiting the USA in 1960 he saw his first ever abstract painting and said 'It looks like it was painted by a donkey with its tail.'

Gilbert and George.

Ah well - my wife thinks I'm a Philistine as far as modern art is concerned. I can rouse no more enthusiasm for them than I can for Tracy Emin's bed, the bricks in the Tate modern, Damien Hirst's shark or that cast of a terraced house.

Anyway Ackergill's a tad expensive for me....

Just think- they've got it sussed- all they do is walk about, eat, sleep, drink- and they're world famous- sweet

I rest my case.
