Well it’s finally here. Hoards of people shuffling around mindlessly outside while a nervous minority wait to see which way they’re going to go… no, not the election. We’ve got more important things on our minds here. Like the fact that the first trailer for …
Nothing quite says “tragic beauty” like a spot of aggregate, and no colour is quite so regal as “greygreen”. Yes folks, the Princess Diana Memorial Storm Sewer is in the headlines again. You may remember the fountain; it’s been “troubled”, as sub-editors say when asked …
The wedding cake isn’t yet stale and already plans are underway to bring us a TV friendly version of Charles and Camilla, whether we want one or not. ITV’s Granada will be regurgitating the early days of Chuck and his first love in a docudrama …
