Post 1300 - Gone
Don't you just love seeing Bobby stepping in to protect Eames?

A View From Down Here
Tonight it's "View from up here" but as I haven't capped it, I thought I'd celebrate Vincent's great and beautiful height, up at which I would have to peer from my 12" inferior body length.
Warning! Some more sensitive souls may wish to skip the next picture!
Confession
I meant to attribute the Ann Dowd comment on yesterday's pants python post, but I forgot.
When I first posted it, I hadn't even realised it could be a play on words - it was JoJo who spotted it.
She really does have a mind that's in the gutter. Proud to know you, JoJo.

Huh?
We couldn't watch "Want" or"In The Dark", but "Magnificat" is OK?
Where do these people on Hallmark get their ideas from?
Anyway, I haven't capped it yet. But tomorrow night on Channel 5 we have "Scared Crazy", as well as "Silver Lining" on Hallmark, so here's "Scared Crazy" one day early.

Dance With Me!
I suddenly started to think of this song last night, and realised I just HAD to make a V-movie using it.
There were supposed to be actual moving clips, but Adobe wouldn't co-operate.

Stonehenge
In June 2004, just two months after I had my hip replacement operation, I booked on a one-day trip to Salisbury, Old Sarum and Stonehenge.
I'd been to Stonehenge before, but this time it was going to be possible to actually go up to the stones and touch them. English Heritage has a legal obligation to limit the number of people who get to go up to the stones, not least because the wear and tear on the environment is in danger of undermining the stones. So this was an opportunity I could not miss.
It was a filthy day, and by the time we were at Old Sarum, I was in no fit state to do a complete tour of the site on my crutches. When we got to Stonehenge, it was still open to the public, and we had to wait for it to close before we could gain full access to the monument. While we waited, the clouds that had sent down their drenching rain on us all day suddenly cleared, and the sun came out. It was like a miracle. The effects of the sun and shadows on the experience were stunning.

Madi's lousy luck
For those who asked on Axe's blog what had happened to Madi, the person who was supposed to be getting her a job met with her soon after she arrived, but said he needed to get something sorted about her paper work, come back on Thursday.
She did. He was gone. The woman who was now doing his job said there was nothing for her, especially without the paper work.
She has been doing the rounds of employment agencies, Job Centres (for US readers, the government job-finding "service"), even the Police (useful as a chocolate teapot as usual) and has now almost run out of money. I mailed her a small amount today (she has no bank account, so it's a bit risky) but it won't cover her rent.
Next week I've advised her to return to the Job Centre and ask how she can get a National Insurance number - the magic route to paying tax. She is also going to the Citizen's Advice Bureau.
If anyone else wants to send her some cash, I will email you her address.

Naked Tango
What with all the talk about getting copies, legal or not, of this ultimate in erotic movies, I thought it might be a good idea to remind us all of how completely edible Vincent was in it.
I have a legal video with the "dancing with the dead" ending, and what I can only suppose is a pirate DVD from a Canadian seller on Ebay which has the short alternative ending.
You can never have too much Vincent,
