Art Quote by J.L. Merrow
““Is, er, your friend a member of college staff?" "No, Al's an artist. And, ah, he's my partner," Larry said. I like it when he calls me that. I don't think Matthew's mum liked it. "How...lovely. Is that how you met? Through...art?" Larry said "Yes" just as I said, "No, we met when I was having a piss in an alley.””
