We're Going to The Winchester!

Shaun's original plan:

• We take Pete's car
• We drive over to mums
• We go in
• Take care of Phillip
• Then we grab mum
• Go over to Liz's place
• Hole up, have a cup of tea and wait for all this to blow over

However, Ed does not want to stay at Liz's place. If they hole up, he wants to:

• Be somewhere familiar
• Know where all the exits are
• Be allowed to smoke

Shaun's revised plan:

• Take Pete's car
• Drive over to mums
• We go in
• Deal with Phillip
• Grab mum
• Go to Liz's, pick her up
• Bring her back here, have a cup of tea and wait for all this to blow over

Then they realise their home is not exactly safe.

Where's safe? Where's familiar? Where can Ed smoke?

The final plan:

• Take car
• Go to mums
• Kill Phil
• Grab Liz
• Go to The Winchester**
• Have a nice cold pint and wait for all this to blow over

How's that for a slice of fried gold?

We're coming to get you, Barbara!

Currently painting a triptych provisionally entitled: Bad Sandwich. It's a piece about violence in it's immediacy - the instancy of the event. A synchronic rendering of three explosive, aggressive expressions... (Brian Topp).

What are you going to do with the video recorder?  Stick it to a canvas as a piece depicting a nation of cathode junkies, selling their imaginations for quick-fix media hits from the Blockbuster syringe? (Daisy Steiner).

I'm going to be as inactive as I can in order to really get into the psyche of someone unemployed, not just vocationally but cerebrally, to see if the predicament of enforced passivity exacerbates itself. You know, does inactivity breed laziness? (Daisy Steiner).

It's a literal tribute to the self-reflexivity of Rembrandt. (Brian Topp explaining why he is dressed as a painting).

I feel like a rabbit trapped on a road to nowhere - frozen in the headlights of the 21st century. (Daisy Steiner).

The evil hand of capitalism dons the garden glove and takes our money in the name of global awareness. (Daisy Steiner referring to overpriced organic food).

It's a subtle blend of lateral thinking and extreme violence. (Tim Bisley referring to the Resident Evil game).

Not exclusively. I'm moving into multimedia pastures - installations, a platter of organic processes mixed with a pinch of irony and a side helping of self-deprecation. (Brian Topp's answer when Vulva asked if he was still painting).

Talk about expression, talk about the truth, but what truer expression is there than the purity of the clenched fist? (Brian Topp). 

The predictability of random events, the notion that reality as we know it - past, present, future - is in fact a mathematically predictable preordained system. So somewhere out there in the vastness of the unknown is an equation so complex as to utterly defy any possibility of comprehension by even the most brilliant human mind, but an equation nonetheless. (Brian Topp explaining the Chaos Theory).

In 1994, while on weekend manoeuvres in France, I commandeered a Chieftain tank without the permission of my immediate superiors. I then attempted to invade Paris. However, en route I stopped at Disneyland, or Eurodisney as it was then called, and was subsequently apprehended on Space Mountain. At the time, I was suffering serious emotional problems that clearly affected my judgement. I had immersed myself in a fantasy world of my own creation and as a result I became very insular and uncommunicative. (Mike Watt).
