"The youngsters were treated to an hour-long presentation capturing the excitement of the young performer's teenage years, including home movies, photos, lyrics and some of Jarviss earliest songs.

Long-forgotten efforts Shakespeare Rock and Life Is A Circle were unearthed, with a full acoustic version of Pulp's breakthrough number, Babies."

Brilliant! Did the kids know what they were getting? Do you reckon he showed the Shakespeare Rock film? And what's this about "Life Is A Circle"?

Try clicking more then edit then advanced editor, ten click on the underlined A next to font family. Everyone else: highlight the paragraph and you can read it.

Shame most of them won't have really appreciated it.

Fran, I tend to agree actually. I'm all for the man pushing more cultural and artistic events, it was the audience he was doing it for that most got up my nose. Not the work, or the comission but the audience at that party. The ad is ok but fails in its purpose for me. I just don't know what it's advertising and who those two other blokes are and what they represent etc.

 Yes I know what you mean, I wasn't standing up for the ad itself. If we care, according to something I read, the other two are apparently a famous French bloke and a famous Belgian who isn't Tintin, Hercule Poirot or even Plastique Bertrand. So it's meant to represent Eurostar's destination countries I think. But I imagine people in all 3 countries are going "Who are those other two?"

As for the people supping the wine, their loss really if they can't be bothered to pay attention, and spot the Boxettes in the background too. I remember Jarvis playing something by a group of female beat-boxers on the radio the other week, said they had been doing backing vocals for them this summer somewhere. So I looked up the tracklist and found their website http://www.theboxettes.co.uk/.
