I suppose I would be considered beyond redemption if I were to admit to having a matching soap dish and toilet roll holder.

Love it the way people give their work catchy little titles.

This one is called:

Un hombre abandonado, despreciado, y lleno de cicatrices, lucho hasta su ultima onza de valentia por la paz y la justicia entre los hombres.

The sculptor is A. Teno and the work can be found in calle Málaga, Nerja.


The world will be in safe hands…

Oh dear, what is the world in for if these two get elected?


End the discrimination now…
