Men of Ireland.Women do not covet bath salts. (GET HER WHAT SHE REALLY WANTS. GET HER A MILLIONAIRE RAFFLE TICKET.) ITS the simple things in life that give you the most pleasure, they say. Who can forget the delight of getting a new pack of crayons for Christmas and quickly knocking up a couple of pictures of a tractor before lunch? Madcap artist Herb Williams has taken his childhood love of crayons one large step further. He regularly uses 75,000 crayons at a time to create these sculptures. From Barack Obama to portable TVs, from dogs to busts, he glues them together hour after painstaking hour. I never grew out of them, I just changed the way I use them, said the 36-year-old from Nashville. I was a more traditional artist and six years ago I was feeling down and I was a dark, angry artist and then I had a dream and saw a sculpture in crayons. Williams, a father of two, gets through about a million crayons a year and his latest work of the US president sold for 15,500 (17,215). I have a personal account with Crayola and they send me packs of 3,000 crayons in the same colour, he added. He is now showing some of his finest work at an exhibition in New York. His latest work, which has taken more than a year, is the size of a room and is made to look like a fairytale. No strings: Herb Williams crayon sculptures are now selling for up to 20,000 a time Pictures: BNPS MOVIE experts have named Oscar nominee There Will Be Blood as the greatest film of the decade. The 2007 period drama about a driven oil prospector in the southern California oil boom was chosen by critics from Total Film magazine. The film starred Irish actor Daniel Day-Lewis, for which he won a best actor Oscar, although it missed out on the best film Academy Award to No Country For Old Men. Also in the list of the decades most iconic movies, according to the magazines writers, were Batman caper The Dark Knight, which was named blockbuster of the decade, and 2001 sleeper hit Donnie Darko, which was crowned cult of the decade. Jamie Graham, Total Films deputy editor, said: The Total Film selections were designed to identify the films that have most shaped the landscape of modern mainstream cinema. But we also felt it was important to reward the best film of the decade, and this category saw Paul Thomas Andersons There Will Be Blood pip the likes of No Country For Old Men, Mulholland Drive, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind and Memento to the top spot. There Will Be Blood is the decades best Drama star: Day-Lewis A new draw with crayons TDs Dil outburst now an internet sensationBY ROSS McDONAGHGOVERNMENT TD Paul Gogartys foul- mouthed tirade has become an internet sensation, attracting more than 200,000 views by yesterday evening. Within minutes of the Green Party back- benchers four-letter outburst, several remixes, dance versions and rap rework- ings were furiously being compiled, with YouTube their destination. On Friday, Labour TD Emmet Stagg made the fatal error of not respecting Mr Gogartys sincerity, after Mr Gogarty had respected his. Deputy Stagg and his colleagues were heckling Mr Gogarty as he addressed the cuts made to social welfare in Wednesdays Budget. The chairman attempted to quieten Mr Stagg, telling him he would have his opportunity, but Mr Gogarty was a bit less formal: With all due respect, in the most unparliamentary language: F**k you Deputy Stagg. F**k you. It was delivered with the perfect amount of vehemence; not with the nonchalance which swearing has fallen into, yet with- out the histrionics of an attention seeker. Cue gasps, calls of unparliamentary lan- guage and demands the statement be withdrawn which it immediately was while he even managed to draw a how dare he! from Labours Risn Shortall. However, media reports pointed out the hypocrisy of Mr Gogarty asking someone to respect his right to speak, as he had once rolled about on the floor flailing his limbs before playing dead as Senator Frances Fitzgerald of Fine Gael tried to make a point. Mr Gogarty also recent- ly interrupted Sinn Fins Aengus Snodaigh when he used unparliamentary language during a Dil debate on Nama. Deputy Snodaigh was pointing out that he never asked for the Government to bail him out of his Eircom shares, which were worth f**k all, when Mr Gogarty jumped in as Gaeilge and asked if the Deputy meant the shares were worth no word at all (focal ar bith). Heckled: Green Party TD Paul Gogarty apparently doesnt like criticism F**k you Deputy Stagg.
