Link to stuff post

It seems the forces of evil are trying to stop people from watching low quality shows. The link from before that listed loads of TV shows has disappeared.
SO.
Here is where they are now!!!

This is a temp site, it will move again!

Bill Heine post


I used to support Oxford United (In the eighties I had a season ticket for 3 seasons, they went from the 3rd to the 1st and then on to win the milk cup, beating QPR, haha), on the way to the match on a Saturday, invariably my dad and I would go past this sight in Headington.
Bill Heine, an American, erected this huge Shark in the roof of his house on the 9th of August 1986, to commemorate 41 years since the Nagasaki bomb drop. He fought long and hard to keep it there as Oxford City Council did not like it one bit. He proved it was safe and I am glad it is still there now.


He owned 'Moulin Rouge' a cinema which had the stripy cancan legs sticking out of them, these legs where later moved to Brighton and put on top of the 'Duke of York's', which he owned as well.
Before the Moulin Rouge was demolished and the cancan legs moved to Brighton, he had to fight to keep those cancan legs on the Moulin Rouge cinema, Oxford City Council deemed them to be advertising and thus they needed planning permission. So Bill changed the name of the Cinema to 'Not the Moulin Rogue' and won the right to have them without planning permission. Cunning!



He owned the 'Penultimate Picture Palace' in Oxford also. This is the cinema that I saw Reservoir Dogs about 15 times!



When I first moved down to Brighton, I thought that those cancan legs were following me!

Movies post

Here is a link to a site that lists movies that you can watch for free on Youtube, Dailymotion, Myspace etc.... The quality is pretty bad but hey, its free. This is a Kill Bill clip i like a lot. Violence!

The return of the Hawk-Moth cat post


Hawk moth returns, this time he has changed colour and looks sleepy.
I think he is about to do a bit of cocoonage.
Cool, I think he looks even better this time.

Yorkshire post


Jessica's last day as a four year old today, been celebrating that fact. Made jess one of her favourite meals, roast dinner. This time made traditionally in a massive Yorkshire.
