Although sadly lacking Sid James, Kenneth Williams and Barbara Windsor, the New Labour campaign in Moreton West & Saughall Massie has come to resemble a Carry On movie. Some may say a tragi-comedy… First, the candidate is said to ‘live in Moreton’. This is quickly altered to ‘born and bred’ in Moreton after it’s revealed, on [...]

Ben Singer (Matthew Broderick) is a failed children’s folk singer, a career proofreader, a compulsive marijuana smoker, and a less-than-extraordinary weekend dad. He’s also the most negative man alive. Floundering in all aspects of his life, Ben’s only comfort comes from regular chess games and friendly debates on game theory with his Senegalese roommate Ibou (Michael Kenneth Williams)....

With the new year just round the corner (in six weeks to be precise - scary thought I know) after I've completed the NaNo challenge, I'll be going through my three spreadsheets that I record my successes and near misses on. I like to know how many pieces of work I've had published, how many were rejected, how many I've recycled, how many rejected ones I've re-edited and sent out again, and how many...

The photos above were taken by me on Friday afternoon. They show the outside of Erith bar Potion; as previously mentioned, the placing of the umlaut over the "o" means that the correct pronunciation is "Pooshun", not that I think the owners actually realise this. The notices say that the place is closed for refurbishment. It must have led a tough life, as the bar only opened in...

Came across this series of you tube videos recently. It's 'An Audience With Kenneth Williams' and its a delight. Richly told anecdotes, long and short, on his life and career. Not long in to it all I quickly realised I was watching an art rapidly being lost; the art of being able to sit in front of a large audience and gently tell a rivetting story, be it comedic, dramatic or tragic. When I was younger...

Hands up if you remember Tony Hancock 's "Test Pilot" sketch. (I think its formal title is "The Secret Life of Anthony Aloysius Hancock".) It used to be a radio favourite when I was small: Hancock is testing some new jet when he hears a knocking sound. He slows down and opens the hatch to investigate, whereupon he encounters Kenneth Williams, a member of ground crew who was maintaining...

Every time I hear Mr Karzai, the President of Afghanistan, mentioned, I think of Kenneth Williams as the Khasi of Kalabar in Carry On... Up the Khyber . I am not proud of it, but it is a fact.

I don't DO Halloween especially cards but I loved both this icon & paper so I succumbed! The paper is double sided & I used 2 different sheets of paper. I cut the witch (there are 2 on the cart) from black glittercard & mounted her onto a Cuttlebugged orange circle which in turn was mounted onto a black scalloped circle. I added printed ribbon & a layered flower above it.I adhered a...
