think of the shrinkage!

Naked lady on the plinth. Thinks she is Lady Godiva. She has a horse with her.
And Intellicast says it is 61F.
At least she has boots on.

She is a really pretty girl (the last nekkid woman I saw should have left her clothes on )

After she got off the horse and finished her dialog w/ the guy in dreds, the cameraman did a long slow pan from the boots on up - cheeky devil!

The poor guy following her -- TOUGH act to follow. She was the first I've seen who did the whole thing sans clothing -- including the rides up and back down in the cherry picker . . .

The camera work has gotten more interesting, I think. They have to amuse themselves somehow during those long hours of observing people reading or talking on mobile phones.

OMG - not a pretty sight

Oh - thank goodness. He put some clothes on. A rugby strip I think. Maybe a first - start naked and finish clothed . . .

Did C_W get picked after all? He seems rather pleased with himself and he has a football!
Oct. 2, 6:00 P.M. in case you are interested.

So why do some of the plinthers get naked? This guy did not seem to do it for sexual reasons. I understand that for some it is part of a performance, but I really wonder about the motivation for someone like this.

How come all I ever see is people talking on their phones when I visit. Though there is a guy dancing and waving a flag around noe

Did C_W get picked after all? >>>

Sadly not.

As it draws towards its close, here's one round-up with some more examples:

I bet that even if you'd been chosen that you wouldn't have give us the nod so we could check you out

Oh but I would. My plan was that peeps from this and another few message boards could send me messages which I would write down and display in a Bob Dylan Subterranean Homesick Blues style.

Oh well.....

Interesting roundup, Patrick.

Woman was wearing a tee-shirt and droning on about foster parents plan. Good intentions but boring. Then she went to take off her tee-shirt and I thought maybe things were going to get interesting.

Wrong. She just had another tee-shirt on under the first one. And now she's droning on about fair trade.

She's lulling the drunks to sleep. They're probably all curled up like babies on the square.

Then your cards would have stuff like "Please explain how the Oyster system works"; "Is London safe?"; "I need a room for 5 people in a centrally located, luxury boutique hotel for under $100 US per night"; "Wicked or Jersey Boys?"; and "The British Museum- is it worth it?"

Good one, Apres_.

(What are the answers to those questions, anyway? I'm always on the verge of asking.)

The " Plinthing" stopped today at 9am (BST) after 2400 plinthers over 100 days. There was a bit of a celebration in Trafalgar Square.

Good question stoke. I definitely can't help with the Oyster cards because I don't have an advanced degree in algebra nor calculus. It actually would have been helpful to have C_W holding those signs up on the square- maybe we would have gotten some definitive answers.

Farewell plinthers. We hardly knew ye.

OK here we go on the Questions:

"Please explain how the Oyster system works";

No.

The Oyster Card question is even harder to understand than dark matter or the Schleswig Holstein Question of which it was said by Palmerston:
“The Schleswig-Holstein question is so complicated, only three men in Europe have ever understood it. One was Prince Albert, who is dead. The second was a German professor who became mad. I am the third and I have forgotten all about it.”

"Is London safe?";

No. Stay at home. Get shot there. We can only beat you up, and who wants that?

"I need a room for 5 people in a centrally located, luxury boutique hotel for under $100 US per night"

There is a way of doing this but it involves being young and pretty and prepared for letting others have a go on your dangly bits.

; "Wicked or Jersey Boys?";

Neither. Go and see a proper play you Philistine

and "The British Museum- is it worth it?"

Oh God yes. We are the bestest thieves ever ever.

Simples.
