Speaking of which, where's your superb montage gone Hustler?
I was on the verge of decyphering the full metaphorical meaning from it all.

Well, if you can imagine the wholesome nostalgia Mom's apple pie has in America, then that might go some way of explaining the meaning of an English pastie (or pasty). It is a very popular 'snack', and there is no doubting that NO will enjoy one almost weekly (other UK members may acknowledge this).
I can kind of confirm this, Wotack.
When someone has a birthday here in my office, tradition dictates that they telephone the local BAKERY and ask for a selection of pies to be sent to the office. The selection normally includes eight or so types of warm savoury pastry, including PASTIES. Being Scottish, however, everyone up here calls the PASTIES bradies, as that is their proper Scottish name.
There are around 100 people in this office but not everybody observes the practice. Some people, their birthdays falling on similar dates, share a tray of pies. The result is that we get pies about once a week.
As there are four members of New Order, and assuming none of their birthdays are on the same day, it is likely that a tray of pies (including, statistically, half a PASTIE) would arrive once every three months. Providing the pies are shared fairly, each member would consume one full birthday PASTIE every four years. In 25 years, they have therefore eaten just over five pasties each. Of course, this does not allow for personnel changes; I am treating Gillian and the new bloke as one person who changed sex and appearance a couple of years back. As, I believe, do the rest of the band.
Right, can anyone remember what I’m on about?
That's not bad Norman, but I think DC might have his own thoughts on the montage which could slightly differ.
That's not to say that your theory didn't have its moments, of course.

Actually, Tommy, I was in the process of writing you an explanation of the fact that a lot of joking goes on here, but I got interrupted. It's usually harmless, though.

Hmmm ...
If I were to toss a few silverjacks off the side of the boat for the kippers, then ring the ship's bell a few times to attract the deepsea theorists, I expect we could rack up another 9 pages of pyscho-analysis over H's piece of post-modernist pop-art, before Pats' kettle whistles again.

That 'Patrick's father' comment is haunting me again I see.

Actually, DC, I assure you I was not referring to that.

Was it when I said "If you don't stop banging on about these bastid bells I'm going to come to your houses and stab you all in the neck?"
Sorry about that, I'd had a hard day and I was tired.
The obvious starting point is the red stripe, undoubtedly Savillian in execution, although interestingly -- and quite outrageously I might add -- positioned in an almost perfectly dissective annexe. Huckler has thumbed his artistic beak at the design establishment here and refused any party to the so-called rule of thirds. It's at this early juncture that we can assume this work will embrace revolutionary ideals. The question is, is it the true work of a mastermind who has transcended the concept of art; or a complete nutcase. Next slide, if you will.

The childlike simplicity and primary colours of the bird forms a shocking contrast to the futuristic rendering of the badger and the almost photographic images of the boxer and squirrel. Juxtaposition is found in the diagonal – the mighty boxer and the fragile cockerel (although both are perhaps pursuant of a common pugilistic theme) and the aggression of the badger is pitted against the timidity of the squirrel.
And what of the IV motif? Well, there are four beasts portrayed!. Could the artist be offering something so simple to contrast with the complex messages in the rest of the piece? An intellectual relief – he’s saying “look, I know it’s hard to understand, but don’t over-analyse absolutely everything.” For all complexities in the world today, sometimes it is refreshing to, in the words of Roy Walker, “just say what you see”. Here are four animals. Plain and simple.

As I recall, I think I understood that at the time, Big.
Splendid Oiler, really stirring stuff.
You've scythed open a new field of possibility. If only Patrick would raise his plough join the furrowing!

I certainly try to be. Life is hard enough, isn't it?

I think that's probably it.
Impossible.
That's tantamount to believing that rather than some wondrous multi-layered epic of Ulyssean proportions lies lurking in the opening bars of Who's Joe, it was just Steve bumping a random key on the synth and noting: "Oooh, that sounded alright... Shall we bung it on the front of Lordsy?"

I confess that when I saw it in H's profile at a greatly reduced size I thought that the single human figure might possibly have been intended as a self-portrait.
There are four members of New Order:
Hooky = Rocky Barney = A Badger Steve = A Squirrel The New Guy = A badly drawn chicken
Do I win a can of Red Stripe?

I went down this street already, alas, a dead end. There were more than four Rockies.

That sounds quite plausible as well. Perhaps H will enlighten us.

I think if you break it down and assume that each image is a facet of the artist's self (given the avatarian nature of the work, it is representative), you can assume that the Stallone figure is the manifestation of the super-ego. I'd venture that the badger is the ego, the squirrel the id and as for the strange chicken-like bird, it's probably one of those post-modern super-ids. That bird is odd, no? Almost like something off the Bayeux tapestry, I wonder if its symbolic of personal identity and the artist's sense of place in ancient and historic Marske-by-the-Sea.

Rocky V was the last film where he fights Tommy Gunn.
That was the series killer...It had to end after that one.
Anyone watch the contender though??
Mexican food is great going in but man does it toy with the intestines...

I hope he hurries up - I'm off home soon and I'd like to hear before I leave.
