Librarian, Knowledge Manager, Data Protection Officer and Records Manager. Let me know if I can be of any further help.
Right, I'm starting the second series of The Lotus Eaters tonight. I'm liking the subtle difference in DVD covers!
That's why there's a picture of Peter Gabriel kneeling in a field of cows. While recording So, he used the cows as a musical barometer, and that's how he knew it was a good album when they came and licked the recording equipment.
I don't know why I bought this - one of you lot must have piqued my interest. Anyway, I've started watching The Lotus Eaters. It's nice to see Carol Cleveland in something outside Python.
I've really missed Glastonbury this year. Still, I've got my own Sunday night headliner on dvd. Aah, memories. I still want that coat!
This has no doubt been pointed out by more informed people than me, but I've just spotted a Blake's 7 Federation trooper helmet in Filthy, Rich And Catflap.
Loving the Sixties vibes on Graham Coxon's new/old long player Castle Park.
I've never noticed until now how much Michael Caine and Eric Sykes look alike.
UPDATE: The Doctor and Peri visit the university library at the College of Advanced Galactic Education. However, there are no books as they've all been digitised. UGH! (To be fair, the Doctor doesn't think this is a good idea.)
My girlfriend has posited a new Prisoner theory that I think will reactivate, aghast, excite and enthrall the noticeboards. What if the Rovers weren't security guards but were in fact giant balls of mozzarella? This would tie in with the architectural Italian Baroque style of Portmerion.
When I say I'm getting new windows fitted at home, what is mean is
I'm in Florence. Today I saw one of the most significant paintings that happens to lead into one of the most significant comedy sketches. That's about the extent of my artistic appreciation, but I'm glad I've seen Botticelli's Birth Of Venus in the, er, flesh. It's a shame for me.
Currently reading Absolution. I'll say one thing, Jeff VanderMeer knows how to write a sense of foreboding.
This is some of the nicest #vegan chocolate I've had. It must be nice because it's in a fancy brown paper wrapper. #veganfood
A predictably storming set from the Super Furries last night; Mountain People remaining a favourite. Some pictures, one of me embracing the 90s as though they never went away!
You can tell there are lots of old Super Furry Animals fans here (myself included) by how faded their t-shirts are!
I bought a copy of this on CD for one whole quid the other day. I feel rather guilty. What. An. Album.
I can never not stop, look and buy something from Shop, Look, Listen at the Brighton Open Market. Pleased with today's purchase as I've always wanted to see these plays.
