That was a fascinating read, I don't think I've ever heard they were so problematic in UK, but I'm happy to be corrected

Today I learned that Andy Warhol watched George Romero’s living dead trilogy and after Day of the Dead (1985) wanted to become a zombie!

Tom Savini obliged with the zombie make-up, assisted by Greg Nicotero. Then Christopher Makos took the photo portraits.

It's an awsome record, but one of my mates said that Brian sounded like Robin the Frog from the Muppet Show, and we thought he had a very good point

My favourite horror genre is british public information films, as all terror and death revolves around the most banal day-to-day things. I still don't like escalators

In terms of Grand Guignon horror, I prefer Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte over Baby Jane, it's fun to see that nice Olivia de Havilland terrorising Bette Davis and braining Agnes Moorhead

Back in the day an ex had a Mini 1100 Special which was a beautiful car, but the fancy central console got in the way when we courted, but unlike my 850, the seats reclined although the weren't wipe-clean vinyl 😁

Know Your BL Colours:
No:68 Rose Metallic

The Mini 1100 Special was the 1st Mini anniversary specials & it came in 2 colours that (I think) were only offered with this car. Here’s 1 of them…

I'm not one for fiction, but I've been binge watching series one the 1970s sitcom For The Love Of Ada. Kind of found it quite ambient and gentle, not bombarding your attention like nowadays. I have to admit the series finale actually got me a bit weep and lumpy throated, which was very unexpected

Thank for posting about it. I've been having seizures (Though not eplieptic they think) and I had a ver similar experience (A neigbour rescued me), it hadn't occurred to me it could be a seizure, so that's very interesting to learn, and I hope you can take it easy today 😊
