Humor (?): Museum bars man who damaged vases

Nick Flynn who damaged the vases barred from the briefing

The man responsible for breaking three historic Qing vases at a Cambridge museum was turned away from a private event to reveal conservation plans.

--snip--

The three damaged vases were among the best-known artefacts at the Fitzwilliam Museum where they had stood on a recessed windowsill since 1948.

Visitor Nick Flynn is said to have tripped on a loose shoelace and fallen down a staircase bringing the vases crashing down as he tried to steady himself.

--snip--

The three vases are from a collection of five which the museum said could be worth up to £300,000.



The whole sordid mess here.

1. Oh, we know who HE was--he was that same guy running out of the museum
in EyeRack that Rummy talked about...that same guy, with the same vase!!!!

The images you are seeing on television you are seeing over, and over, and over, and it's the same picture of some person walking out of some building with a vase, and you see it 20 times, and you think, 'My goodness, were there that many vases? Is it possible that there were that many vases in the whole country?' "
