By all accounts who he is, is an open secret in the art world.

A while back I had a chat with a guy who'd seen his 'crew' in action.

But what did the ambassador of Equatorial Guinea have to say?

Actually the guy was a recently released burglar, ex-copper to boot.

What does Mari-Cruz Evuna Andeme have to do with it? :huh:

And since Equatorial Guniea is in the Commonwealth, they have a High Commissioner in London, not an Ambassador. :contract:

Whaaat? Since when is EG in the Commonwealth? It was our colony, its current extremely corrupt authoritarian regime is our mess, not anyboy else's.  :mad:

He's right about the building being rather ugly standing there by itself, but when (maybe if) the rest of the planned buildings nearby are done, the whole will be quite attractive.

Ditto.
