"Mug Shot" card created for a ventriloquist dummy in 1924. matthewrolstontalkingheads.com/essay/i-see-...

It features the dummy of The Great Lester, a famous early ventriloquist. The arrest date is listed as "February 31, 1924," which is an impossible calendar date.The card lists the crime as a "Laugh Getter."

How many ICE agents does it take to crack an egg? None. The egg weaponised its shell in such a way as to cause the agent to fire in self defence.

Happened upon a Beltane treat at the Seahenge site in Norfolk yesterday that we hadn't seen on previous visits. This is a second ancient timber circle close to the original (long since removed to a museum) apparently only visible at certain tides. I wonder how many more could be there?

After way too long (over 3 years!) I finally have new music almost ready for release. The album Ballyhoodunnit will be done next year, heralded soon with a 5 track EP. Here's the draft artwork for the EP - still working on the concept, but I seem to have developed a taste for punny titles.

5 things I've learned over time. What are yours? --- 1 - Dreams & ambitions are different things. 2 - Make your mistakes early. 3 - The best revenge is to do it anyway. 4 - If art can't be problematic, it can't be art. 5 - Put your demons where you can see them (see 4).
