    Anyone who describes themselves as a "Creative Alchemist" really does need taking outside and given a damn good shoeing.

    That makes for painful and slightly uncomfortable viewing.

    “Once upon a time there was a king, and the king commissioned his favourite wizard to create a magic mirror. This mirror didn’t show you your reflection. It showed you your soul - it showed you who you really were.

    The wizard couldn’t look at it without turning away. The king couldn’t look at it. The courtiers couldn’t look at it. A chestful of treasure was offered to anyone who could look at it for sixty seconds without turning away. And no one could.”

    Whenever I hear anyone use the words "alchemy" or "alchemist" I think of the John Finnemore sketch:

    Strangely the first thing I think of is this:



    Davide Cerrato obviously fancies himself as a modern day Lord Percy.

    They've gone from Bre-montre to Bre-monstrosity.

    Still, at least the prices are the same.

    Followed by Bredundancies, and then Breceivership...?


    Funny how everything prefaced by "Bre-" turns to s***.
