Is it the 1st of April already ?

objeone yes it is sad whether it is to try and stop loneliness or even as a publicity stunt. Poor woman.

Is her dad dead or is he just making advance purchases in a well prepared sort of way?
I suppose that would be the 'something borrowed' then.

How sad to "marry" a stone to try and stop loneliness.

It's the right shape anyway. Condoms could be a problem though ( visible or invisible)

Wow! Elegran ........ Good pic, and they say that size doesn't matter!

Coughing again Imperfect, just before I go to bed!! lol

Good Lord, apparently she was the one wearing her father's shroud I don't think I want to know how she got hold of that!

I have a grudging admiration for TE. She had a tough time as a teenager and I could see where she was coming from with the bed and the tent embroidered with the names of everyone she'd ever slept with (probably a bit embarrassing for some of them ). I remember her staggering in drunk as a skunk to a very stuffy live television debate about modern art - she certainly enlivened it up. I think her parting shot was something like "Get this effing mike off me. I want to be freeeeeeeee. I want to see my mum". Made me laugh anyway.

Wonder who proposed? I heard that TE was bold, but he was boulder ...

Sorry for making you cough Jalima . This thread has been so funny!

But did anyone ask if there was any lawful impediment why these two should not be joined in marriage?

Well, 'ancient' sounds quite old enough!

(although of course he could be suffering from dementia...)

Was he a consenting adult?
If not, it could be illegal

Did anyone ask 'the stone' what he thought about all the publicity? I presume it was a he. Has he had therapy? especially as lots of GN'ers are about to roast him and make him lie on TE's extremities.

rosesarered A photograph of the groom (Eddystone)

As John MacEnroe said memorably:

'You can't be serious!'

everyone

Well, she has got us all talking and given us some mirth!

tiggy that's what I thought at first, it's the Edstone!

When I was working I was commissioned to work on a photography project with a group of elderly ladies. They each chose the subject of their project and one of them, slightly tongue in cheek, wanted to photograph her unmade bed - it was just at the time when T Emin was in the news because of hers. The final photograph was hysterical - she had even borrowed some condoms from her GS to put on the bedside table.

When we were kids we had stone hot water bottles in our beds...

Bonkers. While I can sort of see the point of and admire the thought and skills involved in Damien Hirst's pieces, I honestly don't get Tracy Emin at all. I did hear an urban myth once that Saatchi's cleaning lady had hoovered and tidied it all up when he bought it....... I can just about grasp some conceptual art but a teenage bedroom littered with dirty laundry, fag ends and take away boxes is not exactly unique is it? Every blinking hall of residence in the country has got lots of them.

Just a thought ................ it couldn't be Ed Milliband's stone could it ?

Had a hot stone therapy on a cruise once. Wonderful but very expensive!

am now

Imperfect I lol so much I now am having a coughing fit
