Walk a mile

In his most recent column for the Listener, Hamish Keith goes from Crocs



to Bill Hammond



to Shane Cotton




to the Venice Biennale.




Sadly, no mention of Hany Armanious, surely the go-to guy for art/Crocs metaphors.

1, shouldnt your Hammond and Cotton image link to the source - not you upload

2, Hamish Keith annoys - but just imagine him in pink (crocs)

1. I'm not technical, and the Brooke Gifford site shows individual images in pop up windows. I can copy a URL by getting into the page info - but then if I linked to that I don't think readers would be able to access the rest of the site. So, a link it is. [Plus, I must admit, I'm often in a hurry. But you make a very valid point.]

2. I've been told Venice is hot enough during the Biennale to make your feet swell - maybe HK is on to something?
