I’ve been told the building on the far left is sinking year by year. Which is odd because I’ve also been told by someone else that the building on the right is sinking (and that the column on the top was added to stop this, though you’d think you’d combat subsidence by adjusting something at […]
Read more "The Urban Myth of The Sinking Brutalist Building"I’ve been a bit listless of late, roaming around on Facebook and stumbling onto ‘New Age’ and pseudo-archaeology groups. The danger of such behaviour is, of course, Facebook’s algorithm supplies you with evermore groups of this nature and my wall is pretty darn nutty right now. I tell myself I’m doing something noble in its […]
Read more "Why Do People (Still) Think The Egyptians Didn’t Build The Pyramids?"Yesterday I discovered actor and comedian Fergus MacDonald Caird had passed away. He played the father in our short movie ‘Flawless’, which you can watch below. Fergus was an excellent performer, capable of evoking layers of emotion in a single expression. He was a funny guy, just naturally funny, and he cracked me up every […]

It’s like something from Next Generation but built out of a […]
Read more "Wandering The Barbican"It’s been an ugly time across the pond these last 24 hours so I made a list of things I like about Americans and America. Just a few thoughts that popped in my head. You’re Welcome. Americans will say ‘you’re welcome’ after you say thank you to them. Every time. I imagine they’re raised to […]
Read more "Six Things I Like About Americans"Lewis Saunderson is a new kind of actor. We’ve never seen his like before, not really. In all his TIkTok videos, and now Youtube videos, he creates scenes of utmost emotional torment, his eyes red and weeping and his face a rictus or misery and shock. In this vid below, a man has broken his […]
Read more "Lewis Saunderson, Actor For Our Times"‘She understood me and I her’ my mum texted me after her oldest pal passed away recently and that line really hit me. I brace myself for losing old friends because it would be less like losing a limb and more an entire wing of your mental library. All those jokes and memories and references […]
