Good one, Alex

Been a while since I last read the words to tie me kangaroo down...

The most amazing thing is Rolf is still going strong 46 years later having moved to the UK.

His most recent fame was to paint a portrait of the Queen:

And the populus think its the most human and real portrait of HMQEII to be done in many years.

Your Rolf is part of the fixtures and fittings here and remains a very popular evergreen, even the gutter tabloid press, not backwards in inventing dirt where none is to be found, have never tried to smear Rolf's name, as is their are usual wont elsewhere.

No doubt our British members will find Rolf a familiar sight on their TV screens as he hosted an animal hospital show over there for many years too.

Quite the evergreen.

Quite so, and the AH series is into its Nth season.

In recent months RH hosted a popular art show where a well recognised old master painting was divided into some 40 rectangles and a facsimile of these areas sent around the country to be painted by amateurs against a deadline whereupon they were re-assembled into a giant 40ft odd canvas of the original picture. I'm no artist at all but it was captivating TV.

Great guy, "our" Rolf.
