It was mentioned twice on Emma's thread that New Zealanders need to produce identification to buy panadol and cough medicine
Islander said
Gun licence, and wanting Panadol.In good ol' Oamaru. Nobody twitched (despite the maniac pyschopath look.)
And the reason "Nobody twitched" is because you don't need ID to purchase panadol or cough medicine.

Who is the V/0? It sounds rather like Murray Gray, Murray-ther-Malt?
Yes? No?It's a bit of a mystery who does the V/O here. Murray Grey is the director of the annual Going West Literary Festival so there is a connection. The Sound design was done in Shoreditch, East London, by Mikkel H. Eriksen INSTRUMENT [studio] but I'm buggered if I can find anything to confirm the identity of the Narrator.

This one?

I thought she was cool
You may have been misinformed
Well, she was certainly "cool" the last time I spoke to her.
I made the mistake of referring to her as the "Curator" of the Museum, she responded "I am not a Curator, I am a Museumologist"
I asked her if she had just made that word up, her response was cool indeed.
I actually found her delightful in spite of that and some of her ideas were not as "loony" as many have made out. As with all stories like this there is more to it than meets the eye and sometimes the closer to a situation you are, the less you see. -
Islander.
How is being a singer not being an artist?
Gio.
Of course Len Lye was an artist.
Paul.
Artists are identified by the Art World by the fact of their making expressive pieces of work, and the purpose of those works being expression.
I think Paul won that one...
Now, your starter for 10 points. ;-)Can TV commercials ever be considered Art?

This could be inspiring, or sleep inducing depending on your bent.

"I know a lot about Art but I don't know what I like"
Rather than argue about it here why not LookIt Up
I had this discussion the other night with 3410
"Kiri Te Kinawa, or whatever her name is, is referred to as an artist, an opera singer but she writes no songs. Len Lye was known as an artist, a sculptor but many of his works were constructed by others." Discuss. -
Now here's a bit of Friday night funness...
I speshly like the Stayin' Alive in The Wall mashup.
Enjoy. -
Ah, those were the days.
