I read, write, and watch too much TV...so very average at my two favourite things, playing football and guitar, though not at the same time

ah, we were going to try and see this but the tickets prices were just too much for something we know next to nothing about...but looking at the map it's going to be a packed house for all five days

I couldn't cope with seeing ours doing this - still fearing their first day outdoors when they clear the high wall to conduct cat business 😭😭😭

A while ago I was asked to design and make a mask for a new slasher, based on a pretty well set concept…
If you’re at Sitges tonight you can see them on the big screen in the European premiere of Dolly!

The titular “Dolly”, wearing the mask we made. A battered, cracked, oversized porcelain doll head the jagged neck shards of which tear to the flesh of the wearer!

Fabianne Therece having an entirely proportionate reaction to the events of the film: screaming, running, blood covered through a forest full of suspended baby dolls.

Sean William Scott showing perhaps too much restraint in the face of what May well before him…

Information regarding the screening.

Part of the Midnight X-treme all-nighter with Karmadonna, Death Red, Rough Cut and Meat Kills! Starting at 01:00am!

totally - oddly you're more likely to see stuff like a good bone protruding wound on Casualty or something nowadays, which is kind of weird given their much more constrained budget compared to a feature...RETVRN lol

not seen anything beyond the original but that is a class practical effect, shame we've lost a lot of that kind of thing in film

I've lost count of how many examples he's given us but here's yet another to add to the Infantino is worse than Blatter list

A World Cup preying on Fomo: Fifa’s 2026 ticket scheme is a late-capitalist hellscape

NFTs, dynamic pricing and double resale fees have turned the 2026 World Cup into a fintech carnival where fandom meets late-capitalist absurdity

game 19, 8-a-side, got a bit angry up the other end but I was defending so didn't see much of what went on - we won, kept a solid formation while the others argued amongst themselves - all the guys who flaked out of the Monday league were absent and I think that'll be the last we see of them ⚽️

David Snow @davidsnow.bsky.social · 14d

game 18, 9-a-side, played as part of an older three at the back and left the youngers to sort themselves out which was a mistake, they all wanted to be a forward so there was no midfield and we rightly got tonked, but this is fine as it's a Friday friendly and a lesson learned, onwards and upwards ⚽️

David Snow @davidsnow.bsky.social · 21d

match 17 was 11-a-side, we lost but I felt I had a good game on the left wing, going past people is so much easier than back in March, tracking back and not being out of breath is a good feeling too - 10 days until the Monday league, I'll most certainly be a substitute but still can't wait ⚽️

they have a monthly event there, very occasionally entirely vegetarian, sometimes with the option, but mostly the one set menu - just depends on the guest chef and what they want to do that time...the main restaurant menu has always got both options on the go though
