I would be curious to see how it is at grass roots level and what the coaches are doing. No doubt the kids wanna aim towards playing T20 or Hundred cricket. That is where the money is after all, if you factor in the IPL and maybe the Big Bash.

I'm any case I'd finished the food and was paying the bill when I noticed the paintings (I ate on the terrace and then came into the restaurant).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Did you say anything at the time?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I raised it with the staff and said it was offensive and inappropriate as I was waiting for my change.

And it was. It's seriously very sxiest and very racist, and it shouldn't be on the wall. I suspect that the manager's got the job through a relative, is about 22 and's banging the artist.

Almost all their customers are Europeans, including young families.

It shouldn't be on the wall and I was right to complain !

Can you go back and take a photo, I think the readers deserve to see it
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't really now tbh.

There's 2 of them. Both large paintings. One's in a very prominent position in the restaurant and I remember that one. I can't really remember what the other one was but it was similar.

The one I remember, is a beach boy type African guy, I think smoking a cigar and looking happy with himself and taking it easy, taking everything in his stride. He's in a boat and he's got his arms round the waists of 2 white women in skimpy bikinis, whose eyes look like they are rotating with sxeual gratification.

At the top of the painting over the 3 of them are loads of symbols for money $ £ Euro etc.

Potentially the worst England batting performance in an Ashes series since the 50s

We've only failed to reach 300 across the entire series innings' in the first ever Ashes and a series in 1958-9
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Silverwood's prioritised the 1 day side. Then starts an Ashes series without a tour game having taken place, and just expects us to win. Even after going 3-0 down he was like, "oh typical papers going overboard, we've got a trick or two up our sleeves yet, don't you worry about that. We've only just started and you're writing us off haha. the press."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is there an ODI / T20 series daan under?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Dunno. Always used to be. For a while they has tri series tournaments. They were really good. You remember Allam Lamb smashing 18 off Bruce Reid with a ball to spare ???

Silverwood's clearly favoured the 1 day side since he sent players eg Moeen home mid test series in India and then brought them back to play for Morgan a few weeks later. Absolute farce that was.

There is no short order following this

Which is annoying, we get a chance to come away with something if it were

Also a chance to whitewash the T20 champs

But nah just the tests and we leave

Bearing in mind we beat them with like 8 overs to spare before they went on to win the tournament

All these sports competitions.

100 years later noone gives a tsos about any of them

Just blokes running round chasing balls.

i should have found my wife in cambodia.

So it could just be 3 wealthy friends posing in the painting, but you have sexualised it and concluded it’s about prostitution. Interesting take on it.

this

Is J stating that there cannot b frendship b-tween an African guy n 2 caucasion women with-out their being monetary transaction?

no, it's depicting 2 white tourist women paying a black local guy for sxe. as the staff in the restaurant acknowledged, as the manager implied in her email, and as is fkin obvious from looking at the painting.

It sounds like that is the case.

Maybe the women were excited to be on his boat.

Perhaps the successful African man has paid for the ladies? Or perhaps they are just wealthy friends.

Thank you for your email,

Unfortunately you seem to have confused me with my colleague Jane whom I just confirmed with right now, as I never reserved massage previously for you and I was just trying my luck with whoever was available .I only recall the first time you inquired on our parlor and the services.

I spoke with The masseurs who attended to you and we apologize on her behalf.

wtaf ?

They must have identical twin sisters on reception who change shift every 30 minutes.

It sounds like you are just complaining about anything you can. Try and enjoy your holiday

I complained at a rip off massage and an overtly racist and sxeist painting. I should have complained more about the massage at the time, and I shouldn't have apologised regarding the painting. But I will move on from both matters.

I think you took a racist, seeexist stance on the painting. Says more about you than the artist.
