Who let this tart back in?!?

I dug a bit deeper into Matthew Hopkins' life - turns out he was dead by 26/27 . Indeed, sir. Less an imposing authority figure and more a murderous little chav, albeit a wildly enterprising one. Still, almost 400 years later, he's a thing or two to show us about the perils of weaponized populism. ...

I can't stand Alison Hammond. She's a Big Brother contestant who was evicted after two weeks, and who has somehow parleyed that miniscule window of long-ago z-list notoriety into almost complete televisual omniscience. She's either a witch or a Mason. Or her agent is.

Across the weekend: Godfathers of Folk-Horror Witchfinder General (Reeves, 1968) and The Blood on Satan's Claw (Haggard, 1971). Really more camp than creepy these days but, still, I love these Tigon terrors, Satan's Claw in particular. I suppose I should follow them up with The Wicker Man (Hardy, 19...

Record/DVD shops. In Basildon we had a couple of Our Prices, an HMV, a Virgin, a Parrott's, a Kelly's Radio, a Downtown, an MVC and one in Market Pavement, the name of which escape me. Might not have had all nine in the town at once but we certainly had five or six at any one time. Plus a couple of ...

Against a team who haven’t been beaten as much as 1-0 this season is going to take some effort. Not just the elephant in the room, this, but the elephant standing on our sofa stamping on our ding-dongs. But whilst they remain unbeaten, they are definitely not unbeatable. Not going to pretend that 2...

In ten, fifteen, twenty years he'll be talked about in the same terms as Stretch, Devo, Trevor, Cottee, Julian, Billy, Ludo, Bobby and every other West Ham legend of times gone by. Younger fans will say they wished they could've seen him, and we'll be proud to say we did.

As much as the late second was a heartbreaker and, resigned as we all are to the inevitable at the moment, the simple fact is that if we score one in the first ten minutes at the LS, it's very much game on again. That's just a fact. Now, whether we WILL score one in the first ten minutes, that's not...

It's only half time. All we've got to do is beat Bayer Leverkusen, the form side in all of Europe, 3-0.

Booked to see Commando (Lester, 1985) at the end of the month, showing as part of an "Action Season" at our local Cineworld.

Let's shift the "Leverkusen: Good or Jammy?" discussion over to the Leverkusen-West Ham match thread now, eh?
