Head Space Daily Words...

Having written on this very blog several months ago about people from Birmingham having a disposition to stick their thumbs up - and coming from Birmingham myself, I am certainly not shy in raising that particular digit - there is no contest in my eyes for the winner of the next 4th plinth sculpture in Trafalgar Square. David Shrigley's gigantic fist, supporting a ridiculously large thumb, pointing skywards, needs to become a national treasure. The piece is called Really Good and that is what the thumbs up sign is all about - a symbol of friendship, honour and something good happening, which we could all do with a bit more of. No doubt there are deep intellectual connotations to be derived from the sculpture but in my view, Brummies and the public at large, should be rooting for the ten metre high 'thumbs up' to grace one of Britain's national landmarks and I'm sure you will all agree that it can be no bad thing...
