One rarely encounters a single image that encapsulates an entire sitz-im-leben, and when it happens the encounter is a holistic spiritual/visceral selfquake - a tangible entanglement with the cosmic dark night of the soul.

At one level, we see a woman refusing a plate of food. But why? Is she vegetarian, rejecting the meat? Is she a carnivore rejecting the greens? Is the meal below the standard to which she has become accustomed, or is she simply on a diet? This surely, is the eternal feminine mystery, and as each viewer strives to answer the question they will find themselves drawn into the Nietzschien mirror - is the viewer looking into the picture, or is the picture looking into the viewer?

Or is it too much perhaps to see the woman as Eve, cast out from Eden, clad in pink (PINK, mind, not scarlet) to hide her newly discovered nakedness, one hand raised in horror as she strives to resist a second temptation, or indeed, a second helping?

Here we see the deeply fractured nature of the modern psyche - she rejects the plate with her left hand (the sinister side?), but no one is forcing it upon her - indeed, it is her RIGHT hand which holds the plate.

If we discount the theories of Snackenberg, Lunzsh, Beanburgher et al (I personally find their claims that this is a sexist work unconvincing) there can be little doubt that the message of this image is clear. We are ALL women in pink cardigans rejecting the burger and beans of life, while continuing to cling grimly to both.

But more - as I have argued in 'WOMAN WITH PLATE: A GNOSTIC REAPPRAISAL" (Oxcam, 2008) we are also the contents of the plate. We are the beans (the HUMAN BEANS?) weighed down by the greasy carnal flesh (the burger), hoping that since we are already cooked we will not, ultimately, be rejected by the huge cosmic pink-cardiganed woman.

Or are we?

This image was so vivid and engrossing, that after forty days of staring at this woman rejecting food I took it upon myself to try and feed her something that she'd really like. I carefully put a slit in the mouth region and spoon fed her a variety of food to see which she liked best. she enjoyed it all which filled me with a great sense of pride. a month on and I got removed from my flat so the landlord could get it fumigated. it turned out she wasn't great at digestion and all manor of insects and rodents had started collecting her food from behind the picture frame. we now live a happy life in a one berth caravan. I call her Glenda.

Thankyou
beautiful

I decide to purchase this photograph after buying an earlier work, "Photographic Print of Man refusing to do the washing up", and I was not disappointed with the quality of the product. The colour reproduction is so good that you can make out every subtle shade and hue of the woman's appaullingly applied eye shadow. The delicate fine grain of the mass-produced photo paper brings out every intricate detail of the subject's slight sneer and lank unwashed hair.

If I have a problem with any aspect of this product it's the misleading title. The photo is clearly a depiction of a woman expressing surprise at receiving a plate of runner beans and a barely-cooked Quorn burger with a disembodied hand mounted to the side of the plate. In light of this, this modern day version of the Mona Lisa (is she slightly sneering or is she throwing up in her mouth?) cannot be treated with the level of seriousness it deserves. If the artist cannot be bothered to label his work correctly then how can he expect us to comprehend the significant message he is trying to convey to us with this image?

Because there is a spiritual message for all of us in this portrait, with its exquisite depiction of a woman rejecting a plate of vegetables and reformed mycoprotein. The message is simply this: If God did not intend for us to eat animals, then why are they made out of delicious food?

Much like a badger using a cloaking device on a dark night, this 10x8 print of Paul Ross has been sadly overlooked by the general public.

The reasons for this remain largely unclear. Was it Ross' open-mouthed, alluring pose? Or perhaps the lack of respectable foliage in the background? Whatever the reason, it should not put you off this wonderful print of the man whose name you see on Billboards everywhere (normally alongside the word 'Fabulous' and 5 glowing stars).

The quality of the print - which hangs in the hallway of my flat and leaves guests slack-jawed in wonderment - is simply phenomenal. You can make out literally every smile line on Ross' face and he stares, goggle-eyed, into the lens of the proud photographer. As an added bonus, the matt finish also makes it easily washable should you accidentally spill tea or cranberry juice on it. It can also be used as a sort-of scarecrow, as it has recently been discovered that large birds suffer from a fear of high-quality film reviewing.

Compared with the more popular 20" canvas print, this version is perhaps more suited to the hallways and bathrooms of the world and it has clearly proved less of a seller than it's more glamourous companion, but, nevertheless, the quality and talent which has gone into creating this materpiece cannot be denied.

A must-buy for anyone who, like me, simply cannot get enough of the man they call Paul 'five-stars' Ross.

''When I got it home, I noticed that the pose was different. He was mid-sentence. A sentence that I know for a fact was not a sick boast about the granddaughter of a beloved TV icon. Every time I look at this picture, I forget the turgid moral vacuum that we all are forced to live in today, and instead I smile. Smile, then start laughing. Then I keep on laughing for around 15 minutes, then I got back to smiling. The whole process takes around 18 minutes from start to finish. So it might not be suitable for those with busy lives.''

With one eye on the forthcoming European Championships, I logged onto Amazon with the intention of buying one of those England flags that you fly from a vehicle window. However after stumbling upon this jazzy number I felt compelled to purchase one. Imagine my disappointment when it arrived and I realised that it was simply too large to flutter from a window but, being one to turn misfortune to my advantage, I realised that I could fasten it to the side of my transit van no problem. It fit like a glove! After buying another flag for the other side, my old van looked the proverbial bee's knees. Given I intended to travel to Poland for the Championships in my trusty vehicle, I thought it best to take a test drive to make sure the flags worked properly. Sure enough, after driving round Northern France on a booze trip, the flags worked a treat! You wouldn't believe the number of heads my old van turned and odd continental waves I got.

I can certainly recommend the German Regular Nazi Party 1920-1945 flag, it pimps a van like nothing else and I can't wait to storm into Poland in it in July to see our boys take on the opposition!

This crazy little fashion accessory arrived promptly in the post - possibly due to Der Fuhrer's enormously successful attempts at making delivery trains run on time, but more probably due to the fact that it was attached to a doodlebug which flattened six rows of houses in a neighbouring street.

I DID print a copy of the picture from Amazon. I never did put it on my wall though, my bedroom already looks cluttered.
