Bookclub

These are four of my latest book purchases, these have been published by the British Library as part of their Crime Classics and Tales of the Weird series. The London Fog book I am particularly looking forward to as it ticks a lot of my boxes. The fifth book is "The Mobster's Lament" by Ray …

Hmm

... These definitely are not cheap shoddy knockoffs at all

RDP: Off to a… Start

Well this week looked like it was off to a good start as the weather held up for my afternoon drink with Young Mr Lewis, not doubt the catalyst here was the presence of Old Mr Lewis. But the road to beer was fraught with misfortune as it appears my working week is going to …

Share Your World 26th October 2020

What’s the tallest building you’ve been to the top of? I really haven't thought about it to be honest, possibly that Lighthouse well in Bangor circa 2000. What do you do to keep fit? I take the dogs for at least an hours walk, I also do weight lifting with a brace of 4kg Dumbbells. …

The Road

After a few days of not posting anything for no reason in particular, I'm back. Those of you who can should head over to the BBC Sounds app and jump to Radio 4 Extra and catch up Toby Hadoke's radio adaption of Nigel Kneale's lost television play "The Road". This is the story of village …

Fandango’s Provocative Question #92

Spooky(ish) Questions

I came across these questions on Light Motifs so I figured I would attempt to answer them. What are your thoughts on green pea soup? Photo by David Abbram on Pexels.com I don't mind it which is odd really because I cannot stand Green Peas as a vegetable, they make me wretch. Would you rather …

Wet Wednesday in October

A rather dull day at work was made up for by nice customers and a nice amount of tippage. However spare time boredom is beginning to set, finding stuff to do is getting troublesome and the obvious answer of watching films is not appealing. Talking of films, Mrs A has been in studio today but …

The Man and the Hour

Work has been, well work, slowing down a bit and for bizarre reasons young Mr Lewis and I seem to attract the mentalists into our section on a Sunday shift. The next few weeks are going to be hell, not just because of covid but because the road is closed for bridge repairs and the …

RDP: Fantasy World Dizzy

One of my favourite computer games when growing up was a platform puzzle game called Fantasy World Dizzy, which I played on my Commodore 64. This was the first Dizzy game that I brought and although the fourth game in the series, it was listed aa Dizzy 3. This is because one of the previous …
