  we have all read today about the painting that got "half inched" from the gallery in cairo later recovered.
  
  it was valued at 50 million dollars!!
  
  how can this be?
  
  when i proffered my masterpiece to the national gallery they laughed at me, just because they could read the numbers underneath the pictures.

  Not all of us Howard.
  Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

  Howard, the house needs painting mate. If I write number`s on the wall, guttering, drainpipes etc, would you like to come up and have a go?

  There was an article in the Reader's Digest a few months ago about how to paint a Van Gogh masterpiece. Wish I had taken more notice now!

  As I collect Van Gogh's late work I was flabbergasted to discover from a bloke down the pub that he did a day trip to Dover from Auvers-sur-Oise, his last place of residence. I paid a high price for this one but, even though there's some degradation of the oils, you can tell from the signature that it's genuine.
