Here’s the latest stop motion animation from my Tiny Angry Witch team. (I’m the writer, I can’t take credit for the animating!) It’s one of our longest, and it nearly drove us all mad, but we’re really proud of getting it made! 1 x Tiny Angry Witch 1 x broom No AI
Lobsang Rampa was on my list to do an episode about from the very beginning, and for various reasons I put it off, but this is *prime* Bunkum & Ballyhoo material. It has all the hits - mid-century woo, identity, a brazen charlatan, a hilarious reveal, and also there's a Nazi in it.
Bunkum & Ballyhoo returns with the story of T. Lobsang Rampa, the Tibetan mystic who became a publishing sensation in the 1950s. But how trustworthy was this tale? Who was Rampa, really? SPOILER: Look at him, he's obviously not Tibetan, is he? 🟢: bit.ly/4wdojwD 📦: bit.ly/3RwRfl3 🍎: bit.ly/4fTqgbu
Obviously very badly advised by his agents (inc. an ex-Thistle manager who many of us still despise for what he did on the way out) to go at end of his contract after a good season, then found nobody would sign him because of the high development fee. Changes agent, immediately re-signs at Tbistle.
Up there with when Jon Snow and Krishnan Guru-Murthy were a surprise part of Clint Eastwood’s posse…

Jump to 50 seconds in and listen to the music they use. Trust me. Your flabber will have never been so gasted.
Do try to remember that the EHRC guidance only affects service providers and not employment, so if you work somewhere where there are toilets or changing rooms for employees that aren’t open to the public then your employers are wrong if they try to stop you from using facilities for your gender
Be nice if chief constables and the plod fed were even half as vocal and reactive when their members break the law, murder people and abuse their positions of power as they are when someone who killed one of their own might get released from jail early.
Oh, that terrible comedy for people who found Dream Team too challenging is back again, then.
BBC Alba will have gone into meltdown.

Goodbye to the last semi-serious news programme on terrestrial TV, I guess

I've been thinking about this for a while, since my mum passed really. Would there be any interest in an online space where you could submit proper obituaries for your friends, family or loved ones? Two lines and a funeral location doesn't seem enough from our traditional media.

Needed to take some time and headspace away for a big reset. Said a final farewell to my old man yesterday. Sad day, but one with a lot of laugher, stories, love… and a wreath that was sent to the wrong funeral by mistake. I like to think he’s have enjoyed that…
