So, apparently Marta did organise a signed Ozzy book for her dad Marek, back in Hughes & Hughes days of 2009.

Catastrophic subtitling on the 1941 movie "Love on the Dole".

(It should read "She's a strange lass, is our Sal"...)

Still from the 1941 film "Love on the Dole", with the unfortunate subtitle "She's a strange lassie's arsehole".

What a way to end the week. €5000 going straight to @medicalaidpal.bsky.social

I'll be honest, I had big hopes to reach this goal. But it's the first time either myself or @sineadohart.bsky.social have run a fundraiser like this, so I had no idea how it'd go.

The first thing I did when I finished reading The Benefactors is read it all over again. Partly I didn't want to let go of the characters, partly I was trying to figure out how @wednesdayerskin.bsky.social did this. So powerful, so original, and so gripping. Lines from it keep coming back to me.
