A portrait of Ramsgate's new millionaire celebrity Richard Eastcliff was unveiled today. The painting, by local artist Snailspace (aka That Bloke With Dilithium Crystals In His Jocks) will now hang in the National Portrait Gallery.
Mr Eastcliff said he was delighted with the likeness, and added: "I think he's captured my chiselled features perfectly. I thought about hanging it in place of my bathroom mirror, it's that good!"
A spokesman for the National Portrait Gallery confirmed that Mr Eastcliff almost certainly would be hanged if he came anywhere near them, as he had been a pain in the arts for quite some time now.

Apologies. I had thought the old broadbean was on the blink, but a test shows that it's more probably those blighters at blogger.com whose servermewhatsits are on a go-slow.
It's about time those millionaires at Google, who own blogger, coughed up for a new Sinclair ZX to put the whizz back in their system. Victims of their own success, perhaps.
do you think if you ask nicely they'll let you hang it in the turnip centre if/when its built?
Anthea has given me her personal assurance that it will hang in pride of place the very moment her eponymous arts venue is finished.
I am therefore proceeding directly to my attic to ensure that the likeness in the painting doesn't age. Lord knows I'd die a death if I thought there was a portrait of me aged 103 on public display.
Why on earth would I want to involve The Army
Ram Skate's talking about letting your dilithiums hang free, Snailspace old chum. Like the SAS apparently do.
Although I've never quite understood why one would want one's Niagaras dangling around willy nilly when going into armed combat.
