Not the Green day song, the painting, you know the one, of the cafe, late at night with a handful of punters sat at the bar inside.

There was a famous "version" of it with some hollywood stars sat at the bar, dean/bogart/monroe maybe..

There was another with some ducks, which was great.

But I need the one with the anteater who has chucked the plastic chair into the window breaking it!

Dont fail me now pistonheads!!

It's on the "pictures that made you spit out your coffee thread" on the P&P; shouldn't be too far back (people were adding to it yesterday).

Ta, I got the name of the "original" wrong, its the bogart/dean/monroe "version" that is called Boulevard of broken dreams, which is probably more famous than the original!

Michal Beddard was the "duck guy" who did a great version with ducks sat eating ice cream being served by a crocodile disguised as a duck, that was going to eat them, its from a kids book "sitting ducks", his website is down so you'll have to take my word for it! smile
