Just discovered this picture by accident, as GoY is running a bit slowish, tried again, as advised on a notice, and found another delightful modern statue. He probably wasn't there long Mark and Sticki, the skateboard probably comes out at night while no one's looking.

I like your sense of humour dorjac! And your imagination!

Something isn't right with GoY at the moment - several things it won't do!
