Man is chained to the Cilla statue on Mathew St every day. Has liver pecked out by seagulls. Punished over and over for eternity. 

This a thing?

Phil Redmond?

Actually one more thing. I fucking paid you for the death notice. But no, you had to try and scrape a few more pennies from some ad clicks as well. Pricks

This tweet will die on the vine and I'm kinda glad because I've had heat from tweets in the past criticising that publication but fuck me. Absolute fucking ghouls. I kinda just needed to put something out here. Even if it's to the 10 people on here that follow me.

Modern grieving is getting an email from the local paper of their daily news mailer with a picture of your recently deceased father as one of the stories. The piece being a death obituary listicle. Super fun.

A two panel image. The top panel shows the scene from 'The Wicker Man ' (1973) where Sgt. Howie first glimpses what's waiting for him as he crests the ridge of the hill he's being led up, but Howie is now the red-headed kid from 'The Snowman' (1982). The bottom panel shows the islanders standing around the wicker man, but there's snow on the ground, they're all wearing bobble hats and scarves and the wicker man is now the snowman from 'The Snowman'.

I would say that seeing Jake Paul rock up dressed as a tribute to Hulk Hogan and getting this head spun like a top did make last night a worthwhile venture.

I absolutely adore this book about magic use in England over the centuries. I highly recommend it for this time of year. Very witty and deeply thoughtful www.penguin.co.uk/books/451800...

It went on for four hours with very little fighting. You'd think, as well, if they needed to throw out to some kind of break for four minutes at a time they'd actually have something to fill it with rather than the same timer.

The entirety of last night's Netflix boxing was poor. It sums up their entire content strategy that they are paying through the nose for a flashy, but hollow, product. Why the Caroline Dubois fight was relegated to YouTube amazes me. Huge mismatches across the card and the men's fights were terrible

A very Victorian panto If you're heading to a panto this Christmas in Liverpool, know that you're taking part in one of the city's strongest festive traditions

For those who are interested in panto, I spent a very happy few days reading some old books including 'The Annals of Liverpool Theatre' from 1908 and 'Recollections of Old Liverpool' from the late 19th century about Victorian panto in Liverpool

Another collection of vintage ghost stories for Christmas If you’ve seen all of the BBC Ghost Stories for Christmas, and want more of the same, I’ve got good news for you. Last year I put together a list of films, short films and TV episodes that seemed t…

BLOG POST: Another batch of spooky stories, mostly made for TV, that I think capture something of the vibe of the Lawrence Gordon Clark era of BBC ghost stories for Christmas.

I'd argue that the first one's real ace was its ending rather than its gameplay.

You can feel being dropped into a box at the start of the level and making your way to the other side. The boxes are just bigger between the two games. It's a great story but it's a slog in places.

An update on this. Roughly half the people who got through to a screening interview clearly didn't have the skills to do the job.
