This image of Stonehenge covering the windows of a long-empty shop is becoming a bit of a Bristol photo cliche but it's irresistible.

My fave Kubrick anecdote: David Prowse on acting in A Clockwork Orange:
'So you want me to carry Patrick Magee, who weighs 17Olbs, plus the wheelchair, another 30lbs, so 200lbs, down the stairs & then do a dialogue scene?'
'Yeah, you can do it.'
'I know but your name isn't One Take Kubrick, is it?'

Roddy McDowell once described her -- living "on the tilt, half on the earth and half somewhere between the earth and the sky." Happy Birthday to that enchanting imp, Tammy Grimes!

BLOOD OF THE VAMPIRE by Florence Marryat, published the same year as Dracula in 1897. There is something strange about Harriet, daughter of a mad scientist & a voodoo priestess, everyone she gets close to seems to sicken or die. The blood of the #vampire flows through Harriet's veins #BookWormSat

@andrewhickey.500songs.com I’ve been listening to the Toytown compilation you recommended and it has the right mix of brass bands and harpsichords I was looking for. Thanks! Also, the Anthony Newley episode was great. I had no idea his career started as early as it did.

Rest in peace Erich Von Däniken, an early pioneer in using confirmation bias to gain vast wealth. He looked at the vast tapestry of ancient history through the tiniest keyhole imaginable, claiming that aliens were responsible for every advancement in human civilization.
