and at that moment, the silence in the cinema was shattered as the loved one gasped,
"WHERE CAN I BUY THAT LIPSTICK ?"
of the seven deadly sins, the eighth and worst by far is emotional blackmail ... the diligent practise of this subtle and ancient art creates a constantly evolving darwinistic moral vacuum in which the brightest new manipulative ideas and stratagems flourish ... and which only you, or i, can fill !

ref: barbaric ...
i went back to grosvenor place this morning to satisfy my curiosity about number 33
... a curious building in that it bears no exterior signage that would give the passer-by any clue about its original purpose, or the origin of these masterly but quite obscene carvings
... maybe the rooftop pinnacles at either end of the building might jog someone's memory
... but not mine
nb ( 18th july 2008 ) just found from pevsner that the carvings are by maurice lambert, a rich if limited subject, so more about him in a new blog as soon as i've done some research
Pevsner describes the subject matter as angels "trampling down" devils ... mmm ! sort of ...
pevsner doesn't attribute the gigantic pinnacles/finials
