This struggle to get the meaning of 90% of posts is pretty much my 
experience too annie :)

Just lately we've been watching on DVD a satirical British comedy 
series from the 90's called Brass Eye. Its main dude, Chris Morris 
managed to dupe MPs, newspaper editors, playwrites and TV presenters 
into condemning, supporting and appealing for the rights of all manner 
of surreal outrages, entities and noble causes.
Its whole premise is that no-one (from supposed experts to a generic 
chap in the streets) has a clue about most (if not all) of what is 
going on around them in the world. Part of socialisation is practising 
sounding like we both know and control everything that goes on around 
us.

Re Alan's work: I like that over the years his work has been fizzing 
away in my peripheral consciousness and occasionally I explore - it's 
like taking a treck in the wilderness-unfamiliar and mind-altering- 
when I do.

So Alan makes a rather good score.
