I compared Escher’s Perpetual Staircase to Towcester on air the other week. Fair?
Very good GC, a more than fair analogy, though I’d liken it more to the eternal punishment of Sisyphus rolling his stone up a hill in Hell
There was that high concept McEwens Export advert back in the late 80s, wasn’t there, which pretty much married the two – loads of ragged minions pushing boulders up an Escher staircase for all time… until some of them spotted they were showing on a video wall in a trendy pub selling McEwens and decided to roll a boulder into the screens to free themselves and get a pint of said pish.
Don’t look at me like that! It wasn’t me that invented that ad in a blizzard of red-rimmed specs, pony-tails, braces and cocaine lunches! Go and kick Maurice Saatchi if it’ll make you feel better. Do it now, in fact.
Where can we hear your words of wisdom?
Dunno about wisdom (I really don’t!!), but once or twice a month I can be found polluting the airwaves of a certain internet radio station. The best line I could come up with last Sunday was suggesting (during a session on horses that won’t be worth the effort in hunter chases this season) that Risk Accessor contains more kinks than Ray Davies’s photo album.
To quote Eddie Izzard, "Note to self – must make that gag funnier….."
