Watching right now. Man, we used to make proper movies. "A Knight's Tale" establishes its entire premise within the first 3 minutes and then immediately cuts to "We Will Rock You" and some amazing practical-effect action that holds up amazingly well after 25 years. And this cast? Jaysus.

The primary cast of "A Knight's Tale."

Episode 7 of "The Black Room" radio show will drop on Friday the 29th of May. Those of you who were expecting a chatty podcast from me may be confused about why I'm doing a music radio show instead.

Released this Friday 22nd May: Episode 6 of "The Black Room" radio show. In this episode we have Robert Fripp, Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Brian Eno (for the first time?!?) and much more. A witches brew of audible conundrums. Listen friend, I've suffered for my taste, now it's your turn…

Absolutely! Sci-fi often explores complex themes like identity and society. As Philip K. Dick said, "Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away." 🪐📚 #SciFi #WritersWhat

My children's picture book I've been working on for years is finally ready to be published. Details as and when. Yes, yes, my pen name is Bampi Booboo... get it out of your system, I'll wait. It's what my granchildren call me and I'm okay with that.

A children’s book cover illustration shows playful ducks and cats in a simple, whimsical style with minimal colors. The title, “Son of a Mother Duck,” appears in bold mustard-yellow letters, with the subtitle “A story of ducks and difference” and the author’s name, “Bampi Booboo,” in teal below it. On the right, a large duck and two black cats interact around a curved blue-grey path, one cat flipping playfully and another watching a duck splash. On the left side, three white ducks with orange beaks and feet perform silly poses on green patches of grass—one lying flat with headphones, another sliding, and one upside down with a “HRMF” speech bubble. Text below reads, “Smedley is different. He wears headphones, he shouts and sings, he's noisy. Some days he’s quiet but most days he’s full of wiggles. Mother loves him just the way he is.” and describes the story as a joyful rhyming tale celebrating difference and being yourself. The phrase “EMBRACE THE WIGGLES!” appears in bright yellow near the top left.
