THE FT TOP 13 ENDINGS: 13: AND THEN I WOKE UP
Read post

The beauty of “And then I woke up” comes to every nine year old child at the same time I think. It is a combination of the following factors:
a) Some awareness of classic KidZor Lit which uses this trope (Hello Alice In No-Fun-Derland and[…]

I Tell A Lie (Shock!)
Read post

Actually. I told a slight porkie below. There is one film which could be said to be in the Pink Panther canon which I have a degree of fondenss for. And that is Inspector Clouseau. A rarely seen entry into the series where Clouseau is sent to London […]

Raping The Pink Panther
Read post

The end of an era
Read post

aka (Ring the fucking bell)
I don’t think anyone has ever anticipated the ringing of last orders as we did last night in the Lyric. A tiny pub opposite the Windmill Theatre (soon to be subject of a film which has Bob Hoskins naked in it), it is[…]
