Getting in the spirit for the Olympics, please offer your 3 most embarrassing heritage offerings. Five categories (please state which when entering).

Facilities.

Statements.

Reports/ publications.

Interpretation.

Anything goes (television, radio, shop goods, postcards - anything at all).


The closing ceremony for all the miming by the supposed cream of our singers! I cringed at the Spice Girls but was touched by the affection still shown toward John Lennon and Freddie Mercury who got the loudest cheers even though they've been dead for donkeys!


Liam was good and The Who were brill! And Lennon is a lovely surname :-)


Far too many long 'yawn' spots for my liking. Good lighting, costumes and fireworks but for me it came a VERY distant second to the opener.


No comparison ,apart from the athletes . maybe just me but was the segue from "wish you were here " to a Kesey style bus to "I am the walrus " a reference to an almost forgotten powerful influence on pop culture .



If I am itching to discuss this am I suffering from AESTHETE'S foot!?

:)


No, but it could be ATHLETE'S foot VBB. Have you been tested for illegal substances recently? :-)


aesthete/Noun: A person who has or affects to have a special appreciation of art and beauty



Yep, that'll be VBB.


I was posting the definition for you, Sanctuary, as you clearly didn't understand the reference to the word aesthete in VBBs post.


Oh but I did I was pulling VBB's leg, hence the :-) on the end of my post. Don't be so hasty in your assumptions!


The person who writes a book claiming the prehistoric landscape & sites of Avebury represent an 'Earth Figure' telling me not to be so hasty in assumption!

Classic stuff. Keep em coming.


We discuss things openly on this forum and try to be civil to each other and respect each others opinions. 30 years of research is not being hasty my friend. I don't do rudeness so look elsewhere if you want an argument. End of.


I'm not looking for an argument, and I don't appreciate your tone.
Read back. I was perfectly civil, but you accused me of being hasty in assumption.
I thought that amusing coming from somebody making so many assumptions himself. (and trying to flog them too)

"We discuss things openly on this forum and respect others opinions"

Ha. I've been reading this forum a long, long time. Well before you posted here 'my friend'. I know it rather well.
