The Disheartening (How I learned to accept that my fun hobby will never lead to anything else)

It’s a quiet pub. There’s a low jukebox rumble. An old man is sat in the corner. His teeth yellowed, his pompadour hair struggling and broken, his glass half empty, and his face hangs heavy on his crooked neck. His general demeanour speaks of defeat. As you app...

Firstly there's more Smersh coming, just not as soon as I'd have  hoped as I've had sickly children to deal with! However eps on Return to Oz, Krull and Assault on Precinct 13 are recording/coming soon!

Seven Years

On the whole, my Facebook memories largely serve as a reminder of how cringe I used to be in my late 20s, but today they served to remind me of something nice and fun. To paraphrase David Bowie; "Seven years, what a surprise, We've got seven years, my brain hurts a lot, Seven years, that's all we've got". 

Seven years ago I launched the Twitter account, wrote a vague Facebook post,  a...
