I like films, the odder the better. Interesting music and literature. I occasionally take pinhole photographs.

Ahahahahaha, local business that recorded themselves sticking a load of Union Jacks to lampposts all about town are currently pissing and moaning about finally Finding Out.
A letter from North Yorkshire Council to some local flag botherers, charging them £36.27 per flag + VAT for all the flags they stuck up on lampposts. They stuck up 64 flags

Our colleague Marie spotted the Prince Charles Cinema popping up as a question on French TV last week! 🇫🇷

A fun little throwback to when we went viral back in 2012 for unleashing ninjas in our screens to catch customers who were texting or chatting mid-film.

After Wednesday's almost sold-out PCC premiere show of ON THE SILVER GLOBE in 4K, which resulted in more exclamations of acclaim (and walk-outs) than we've ever seen. It will show in one more encore matinee show this Friday 5th Dec at 2:35pm.

#36: Breakfast
A screenshot of the headline to a Guardian column by Adrian Chiles. The headline reads" 'London has plenty of posh breakfast options- but give me a greasy spoon any day.' My invitation went to Peter, Ian, Dinah and James. Food critics all, accustomed to only the finest restaurants in the capital, their words—as they had many times demonstrated—able to make a business, or kill it stone dead. An exclusive launch at dawn of the finest breakfast establishment in Soho, Temptations Cafe. Their faces, when they found not the soft furnishings and genteel ambience to which they were accustomed, but the formica tables and wipe-clean menus of a traditional greasy spoon, were a picture. They didn’t recognise me, their host, at first. Why should they? It was only when I outlined my mission of revenge, when I had explained to them that I had not only arranged for their deaths, but could tell them exactly how they would die, that they began to realise who I was. I began with Peter. He would leave from this place, take the train back to Berkshire. The only sandwich left in the buffet car, ox tongue and mustard, would sicken him, cause him to lean out of the window and be decapitated by a passing express. Ian would go home, critique his long-suffering wife’s preparation of their gourmet supper for the thousandth—and last—time and end up diced and braised as part of the entrée for their invited guests that evening. Dinah would attempt to steal a taste of a forbidden dish, prepared by the world’s greatest chef for a singular wealthy client only, and in the process find herself trapped in a walk-in freezer, her corpse later discovered with her tongue frozen solid to the plate. Finally, James, while escaping the jealous owner of a Turkish restaurant, with whose wife he had been having an affair, would leap from a first floor window and find himself skewered, tail to top, on the railing beneath. They scoffed at me, called me a madman, told me my stories were pure fantasy. But when they went to leave the greasy spoon, the door wouldn’t open, and they realised, too late, that the red light outside was not the coming dawn, but the burning of hellfire.
