Our posts crossed Owen. Alex, Owen and I need to go and sit down for a while...

The Horati thing I am less convinced by.

This is a bit like the fast show sketch where the chap says things like; 'So they named the hospital after me; which was nice'

Daniel; do you think Alex will let us touch his hair?

OK 3,2,1 back in the room.

You made something in the dining room or kitchen. Mmmm...
Chutney?

The Oath of the Horatii reminds me of being at college and having composition explained to us. The Death of Marat reminds me of Derek Jarman's parody of it in the film Caravaggio.

Over to Derek. 3 large pork pies and one small pork pasty with the leftovers. That's for pudding tonight.

That made me snort with laughter and generated an odd look from my other half.

Yeah whatever Derek, now I don't remember any tableaux in Carravagio, but where is the man himself (Alex) to give us all the backstory he can muster. Any Family legends? Old sketches in the attic?

Caravaggio is nearly all tableaux!!

I thought I was not to mention your work, last time you referred me to your office. (Sorry; I am aware of Mr Jarmans' work and it's fondness for tableaux, I was seeking a response. But I did not remember the Marat thing.)

While we wait for Derek, what are you drinking tonight? I'm back on my Cayetano Palo Cortado but I think I'm moving on to the Leitz Riesling. No VP open here tonight. Maybe a glass of LBV later.

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 20:33 Sun 03 Nov 2013

Low rent Rhone. Just the thing for a rainy night, I have the option of a glass of Krohn Colheita 2000 (hence my concern regarding Taylors buy-out dicussed elsewhere on this forum) or a fifteen year old Blandys malmsey. Probably both.

What was the first car I owned and what colour was it?

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 20:40 Sun 03 Nov 2013

It was blue (half a point?)

It was indeed blue, but all points go to the winner. There are no points for second place in this game.

Just using my omniscience to make it easier for those who have not been given superpowers. Will the make suffice or do you want the model too?

Make and model, but model would be adequate..

All answers so far are incorrect (apart from "blue")

Is he? I pictured a nonagenarian in a wicker bath-chair. My second car was a Morris Oxford. Affectation I realise.

Exactly, that's what I said. His first car was a second-hand Model T.

A horseless carriage!

No correct answer yet.

A clue: it was two years old when I bought it.
