Hey, I never argue against anyone calling anything they want to express "art"... just because it's art doesn't mean it's good or that I have to like it. ;) I have seen reports on the Fourth Plinth and found it an ingenious idea. Some people will probably make more constructive use of their time than others, but you could never call it too esoteric or elitist. ;)

The funny thing was that on the day that the first person was supposed to stand on the plinth some protester beat them too it and rather stole thier thunder.

Under the mistaken impression that tactics trump content, apparently. ;)

I actually got the details of that and was going to apply, but couldn't think of anything wacky enough. It's a completely hatstand idea, but genius - the ones I've seen have been fantastically British!

Good for you! I just think it's so funny that anyone would want to stand on the thing for an hour at anytime let alone all through the night, it must get very lonely around 2am.

There have been some really wacky ones, people dressed in outrageous costumes, musicians, preachers..... all it needs is for someone to get married on the top and that I think will take the biscuit....:)

Yep, pigs trotters are pigs feet. They say you can eat every bit of the pig except it's squeal! You scrub them clean and soak in water for a while, then you put them in clean water and boil for a couple of hours. When they are cool the skin and fat just pull away and the meat is lovely and moist, 'boiled bacon' lovely!
