Prophecies are notoriously – some might argue dangerously – vague at the best of times. In this age of litigation, there’s a certain something to be said for leaving room for interpretation, as the average angry client is less than likely to take traditional excuses of divine justice and sacred forces to heart when considering …

An ASBO Debate?
I’m not quite sure what to make of this. In the course of what we’ll laughingly call, ‘growing up’ (whatever that means) I toyed with a number of job possibilities. Naturally as a kid I wanted to be a doctor because, frankly, you can’t regard yourself as having a moral centre as a five year …

What I Did on My Holidays… Venice
‘Let’s not go to Venice!’ exclaimed the gentleman I was attempting to convince to go to Venice with me. ‘It’s been discovered. It’s a tourist trap. It’s a cliche. Let’s go to Madagascar.’ Alright, I thought, I’ll play willing… let’s have a look at the guide book to Madagascar… I’m all in favour of adventurous …

Knock me down with an eagle’s feather…
Am I the only person who didn’t know that the CIA had a ‘kids page’ on its website? https://www.cia.gov/kids-page/index.html There are games and everything! I spent three years studying military and political history in the 20th century (oh boy can I tell you about the Cold War…) but no where, no where in the LSE’s …

Adventures of an ALD…
I’ve been dropped off the surface of the earth for nearly a week now, and in answer to the question why, I have a one-word answer… lighting. I’m writing this entry at the end of a hectic bundle of days of working on a show – though a lack of internet access probably means it …

Home at last!!
My own bed! My own pillows! A hot shower! With an actual towel at the end of it! A hairwash! Not having to sleep in a jumper! (When, but when, did it suddenly get cold?) Forget this train-taking lighting-designer lifestyle, I want cake, and a dressing gown, and fluffy slippers please, and I want them …

Spirit Guides
Traditionally, all self-respecting shamans have a spirit guide to aid them in the exploration of mysteries and whatnot. However, this being the era of urban magic, the spirit guide, like the shaman has evolved. No longer does the guide manifest in the form of an animal, a voice, a whisper in the mist, a glowing …

What I Did as a Lampie… Edinburgh
Alright, first thing to do is… … name that panoramic, tourist-cliche yet essentially stunning panoramic city viewpoint… This was not my first trip to Edinburgh. When I was a kid, my Dad had a meeting in Edinburgh and smuggled me into his suitcase, and on his day off we did the tourist things. We went …

Tox09
What on earth is Tox09 all about? The background to this query begins on the London Overground line between Richmond and Stratford a few years ago, back when it was Silverlink Metro or the North London Line or whatever the hell it’s been called in the last ten years of excitement. Looking out of the …
