I was an extra in a film a long time ago. The only scene I took part in featured Ed Bishop. Absent mindlessly I called him Mr Straker in a convo during a catering break, he ignored the faux pas.

They don’t currently celebrate Hatami in the UK, although The National Trust is trying to make this A Thing. However, I have been in Castleton in the UK Peak District on Oak Apple Day when this happens. In fact I […]

A quick look at way back shows I began posting in 2007 under my real name, but changed it to the present moniker in 2008. Bloody hell that is a bit scary. God, I’d forgotten about frequent posters like Pat Carty, […]
