Edward... Edward...Edward...
Your blog caused a riot. How many posts I got about from my mates about the "Times tour in Germany"... before they read about your memories two decades ago... Nevertheless a good idea. You know I will wear a Heinz soup can 'round my neck. "Ed Ball, our leader!"
Your admirer,

Hello again Ed and thanks again for the compliment!

The concept was mine but it was put together by my friend Lily who did the previous Painted Word artwork. I'm putting a link to her website on TPW page later.

Cheers again Ed, you're the man!

Can't think where I got the idea from! Arash

So it did not last very long... the splendid illusion The Times would be touring Germany in 2008.
(It lasted for 1 day, to be precise.)
Looks like the big Wellsian Times machine needs to be started now, eh?

Dear EdWaRd!
Pop goes art, and ArTpOp is lovely. So, I hope you enjoy the Liechtenstein-ian version of my profile pic.
Yours,

Edward,

A CD you say...

You mean, I won't actually have to fly over to London... Travel to Manchester, Glasgow, Liverpool, Pontefract and scour the racks of twenty record stores, to find one of these personally planted, precious artefacts...

Mr. Ball... You are my hero... ; )

Cheers ~ K.

Ed, no more excuses! You have to play in Germany. Support par exellence: dunkelrot (http://www. myspace. com/dunkelrot). I will work on it. Pah, Spain... and money! You got FANS here!. The Times were (and are) never been greater than in the land of the Frankfurters, Wieners and Schnitzels. And I will have a Campbells soup 'round my neck. Plus a POP GOES ART additude. So many people like to see you on stage... Please do a real ArTpOp!-show for us!!!

The biggest The Times fan,
your lovely and servile
