I really feel like they're just throwing darts at a board labeled "Causes of Autism." Next they'll announce that it's due to coming within six feet of a penguin.

A cool charity in Hoxton that teaches & gives disadvantaged kids skills in filmmaking has asked me a question:

Any female animators want to take part in a mentorship programme they run?

They've been doing good work for 25+ years.

5) HORSE EELS
In 1960 a trio of Catholic priests from Dublin were fishing in Lough Ree lake. There they saw a monster. 6 feet long with flat head "like a python's". The name Horse Eel dates from the early 20th century when farmers claimed to often see similar beasts come ashore to graze

3) WELL HALL BOGGART
