Stuff

Just a few things which I like, and you should too.

1) Most Comedy Victoriana gets it badly wrong (such as Mark Gatiss' 'Lucifer Box' novel), and so it delighted me to discover the Penny Dreadfuls, whose radio show starts on BBC Radio 7 this Friday. I went to see this recorded and can confirm they're very funny. If you listen carefully you might be able to hear my raucous laughter from the audience, especially when they make jokes about Germans (sorry, karohemd).

2) My pal Morag makes jewellry, and such is its quality that I have actually paid money to commission work from her. You should too, and you can find her website here.

3) I don't play video games so much any more, but something in the trailer to SoulCalibur 4 tells me that I'll probably give it a whirl:

Hola, did you get the email I sent yesterday?

Whoops, yes, got buried by work yesterday and forgot about it.

Right-o, just checking that the email I'd used was actually an active account and not just a spam collector :-)

I don't know whether both characters are in both versions of the game- there's a rumour that the good Darth is only in the PS3 version, and the small muppet on crack is on the 360 version. But since there's still several months before release, I'm sure all will become clear.

I hope the Penny Dreadfuls will be on Listen Again, sounds like a good laugh. I really don't mind intelligent jokes about Germans (because there is much to ridicule about us), as long as they aren't of the "Arbeit macht frei" type (Clarkson et al).

No, they're actually funny. Victorian derring-do against villous Germans and so on.
And let's face it, you're all villainous, aren't you?

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Excellent.
I wouldn't know. ;o)

I'm spotting a picture-pattern here.

Pah, if the Germans want to retake the role of premier Euro-villains, they need to get themselves a Kaiser. And some Zeppelins, preferably laser Zeppelins.

Leave the fluffy white cat stroking malarky to the rapidly disintegrating Belgium.
