Ach! A hole in one! Flattery will get ye everywhere, Mr Ploos! Drinks all around!
Been enjoyin' yer paintin's a powerful lot. They used to have (and may still do) on tele -- The Wide World of Sports. In yer case, lad, wif yer paintin's all aboot like, why it's like yer doon Tha Wide World of Sorts. Ye been combin tha globe for pics what be ticklin' yer fancy an then ye cops 'em, in tha finest tradition o' Picasso -- who said, "Good artists copy, great artists steal!" So I challenge ye lad ta dig deep inside to tap into yer that larcenous aesthetic nature common to us all, meanin' that there creative archetype, yeee by goom, Jimmay.
An' gizza flaggon or two while yer oop, there's a stout malt fellow. . .
