Anyone enjoying the current re-runs of vintage Call My Bluff on BBC Four might like to check out the show's cameo appearance ten minutes into this barking mad NF Simpson parody. I remember watching this in 1973 and being flabbergasted.

Southwark Fair apparently included the Trojan Horse as well as acrobats, a female drummer, and other A+ attractions. As described in 1733 by William Hogarth, whose birthday is today.

We watched The Bedsitting Room last night for the first time in ages. A work of staggering genius unparalleled in the cavities and coastal inlets of British surrealism. A cast of the immortals and possibly Milligan's finest hour of focussed mania.

Another gem from my dumped academia. "Our understanding of the development of American art in the twentieth century cannot properly develop without reference to it." 'It' being HIS theory. Oh but it can mate. It can get along perfectly fine without your dull theorizing. And did.

And the constant overuse of 'navigate'. You're not Christopher Columbus mate or Thor Heyerdahl. You're just a drone in sector 7 trying to secure tenure by churning out peer assessed articles that 7 people will read. I promise I'll shut up now.
