Disclaimer: I don’t subscribe to any but for years I’ve bought, read and discussed 6 papers daily. I’ve had features in most from time to time, letters in all but no affiliation with any. No one is bias free but I try to have an objective viewpoint. For certain, I’m probably a good fit for [...]

Ordered these two towards the end of April after receiving a catalogue. I do buy online, always before with good results. These smooth-skirted dresses looked marvelous in the catalogue. I figured polished cotton, probably. But they turned out to be India Cloth with that old eighties crinkly-look fabric that nobody can wear unless [...]

Here’s the chairless front of my house. Thank heavens I wasn’t testing the waters with the Reading Frog Garden Sculpture which is safely inside.
These particular missing lawn chairs were more or less bait. Old and prone to collapsing, no writing on them, only someone desperate and deluded would want them. They [...]

“Hey! You’ve left your music on!” I yell as the [...]

THE MOVIE SPOILER.com SPOILER ARCHIVE
AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON
NOTE: Here is a Classic spoiler from Rose who says… “This is my favorite film. The music is superb.(Three separate classic renditions of Blue Moon.) There is no explicit nudity, the violence is subtle and the gore really not that bad.”
Moody shots lead us deep [...]

Warm summer, end of June day, traffic heavy on our main street, Princess, and then, at regular intervals for about two hours, armoured carriers interspersed with the baby strollers, pedestrians, cars, vans, pickups, delivery trucks and buses.

There is a yellow, ’student driver’ sign on the far right and another [...]
