Hang the DJ……
Actually, this is almost the ending of Bulletproof Poets, a mini comic I did layouts for a couple of years ago.
Hot Chocolate
The 1957 Windscale fire not only resulted in the loss of milk production for 200 miles around for several days, but the destruction of 90 tonnes of chocolate it has been revealed.
Sent to me by Penny.
Almost related- Playing Windscale FC away.
Rag Time
What is the Bogle? I’m impressed, posters have been popping up around UMIST (and elsewhere I assume) advertising next year’s Bogle. This level of early promotion hasn’t happened for the last few years.
Rag’s own gallery of BeerFest pictures, including yours truly sketching yet another beer barrel sign (and 2, 3, 4). I’ll get the rest of Sabs’ pictures put up asap, honest.
On the subject of the unique spinneyhead created beer signs, there’s a free listing day on EBay tomorrow and I’ll be selling them all. Money raised will, naturally, go into the Rag coffers.
The New World
I just finished reading Big Chief Elizabeth, about early English attempts to settle in America (and the PR coup of naming the land to be settled after the Virgin Queen). Amongst other things it deals, in passing, with the true story of Pocahontas- who never had any “mad affair” with Captain Smith, so there. And lo, today I discovered that next year there’s to be a film entitled The New World, ostensibly about the same subject (trailer)

Big Gay Heart
a US politician wants to introduce a bill that would ban the use of state funds to purchase any books or other materials that “promote homosexuality”. Clause 28, anyone? The Guardian has an interview with him.
Last, best hope
Farscape was cancelled, but has come back as a mini series. Firefly was cancelled, but is coming back as a film. And now Babylon 5, which wasn’t cancelled but had run its course, is to spawn a feature film.
