Hadn't realised In Outer Space had a repress a couple years back, couldn't resist getting this super slick purple edition. Anything to tide me over until Sparks drop Mad...

Smiler R34 already exists, but I suppose there's gonna be some... 'freaky stuff' involving these soon?

If you're wanting to up the excitement for Towers reopening this weekend, or want to watch something in lieu of visiting - here's this cool lil thing I made a couple years back. A tour of the Resort with no commentary, but plenty of character.

Every now and then I remember that ~5yrs ago I worked for one of the big theme park sites. Wrote some cool shit but had an absolutely terrible time and it pretty much buggered my interest in visiting these places. 2/10 would not recommend lol

Keep thinking about how some random (probably drunk) lady shouted "you're such a cute couple" to me and my girlfriend in Oxford city centre on Friday night. Like I said - probably drunk but sweet lol

It feels crazy to say I'll be seeing either Nine Inch Nails OR Sparks, but back to back dates in London... Quite possibly a once in a lifetime event seeing my two favourite bands so close together.

If you're needing to do homework today - specifically maths, and needed something to motivate and educate - try this lengthy video about Nemesis.

Elated that Ghost Stories has re-emerged from the darkest depths of theatre. Such an incredible night revisiting one of my all-time favourite plays on the first night of the new tour - even met both the writers! Do whatever you can to see this masterpiece - you won't regret it.

Only done the Towers Fireworks once (usually working) but I'm hoping to change that in 2025 - although I say that every year... Also lol imagine getting a flat ride for a seasonal show but not for the park itself

The Dr Strangelove stage adaptation was really good - close enough to the original but with a few expanded bits and new jokes littered around. Surprisingly the party next to me hadn't seen the film, but I think they enjoyed it all the same.

Rewatched The Killing on a gorgeous 35mm print - I adore how much texture film accumulates, especially on an old B&W movie. Guy next to me clearly hadn't seen it before and seemed genuinely shocked and distressed by the ending.

One of the best things about being the workplace jester is you can crack jokes and do fun gags, and as soon as someone does a generic "what are you on lol" you can surprise them with "antidepressants"

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 11/01/2025
We expect that some 50 Auschwitz Survivors will come to the Memorial for the 80th anniversary of the liberation. The eyes and ears of the world should rest upon them. We must safeguard their voices from silence, distortion, or being overshadowed. (Photo: buff.ly/4jd1BiU)
The iconic railway tracks leading into the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, framed under a vibrant orange and blue sunset sky. The tracks converge at the main entrance gate with the guard tower silhouetted against the fiery hues of the setting sun.

If anyones after some Towers tunes to listen to but want something new(ish), I've started compiling a playlist of more "obscure" pieces of music that aren't as widespread online/heard on park much/unused compositions/marketing fanfares.

Such a shame that it's hard to explore The Ruins nowadays (unless you feel like paying for it), but let's not forget the weird majesty of the real Alton Towers.

Back to school today but still daydreaming of Alton Towers? Plonk this on during your DT lesson, because not only is it educational, but it shows some great archive footage from the mid 90s.

Here's a clean replica of Count Orlok's estate agents document that I made ages ago. Featuring the wonderfully incongruous esoteric symbols provided by the films producer/art drector and occult fan Albin Grau. Feel free to print out and tea stain the paper for your Nosferatu halloween costume...

One of my favourite bits of old park tat is "White Knuckle", a weird tape from the mid 90s of British coasters. Excellent footage of early Nemesis & Big One, plus Thunder Looper, Vampire, Big Dipper...

Sure most people have a bit of time in the nether zone, so you might as well fill it with arguably *the* Alton Towers documentary. The Magic Factory is cheeky, honest - and an excellent snapshot of the park heading into the 21st Century.
