was going to add Camren Bicondova who plays the young Selina Kyle in Gotham, because she is very cute and is very good as the young Catwoman, but she is only about 15, so it didn't seem right, maybe in a few years time though.

The Fool.

Sir Terry Pratchett - Rest In Peace


This is a blog entry I didn't want to have to write yet.

I was at work on Thursday 12th March, and a friend told me that Sir Terry had died.

I was lost for words.

As Rik Mayall, who passed last year, was a comedy inspiration for me, Sir Terry was my writing inspiration.

If it wasn't for his Discworld series I would probably have never started writing my own little stories.

My Twitter account and this blog are named in inspiration of the Discworld.

He was and still is and forever will be my favourite author.

The Discworld made the last 20 odd years of my life very happy.

His death was announced on his twitter feed with a beautifully poignant Discworld style series of tweets.


I'm not going to lie - I cried when I read this.

If somehow the spirit of Sir Terry can read this blog entry then I'd just like to say

"Thank you for everything. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you."

The Fool.

In Memoriam 2014

Always a sad way to start the year, but I've done another video for those stars who have passed in the previous twelve months.

The 2 biggest depressing ones for me personally were Rik Mayall and Robin Williams.

2014 wasn't was great year for me to be honest - our dog of 11 years died in July, combined with some other stuff I won't go into.


Thank you for watching.

Am hoping to get better at doing my blog.

The Fool.

Rik Mayall

I know I had to come back to my blog at some point, but the fact that it's the news of the death of Rik Mayall that is making me is heartbreaking.

Rik Mayall was for many people one of the greatest comedy actors and writers and performer ever.

He was anarchic, insane, violent, but above all else extremely funny.

He was great in everything he did, be it the Cliff Richard loving Rik in The Young Ones, the slobby pathetic Richie in Bottom or the totally immoral Alan B'Stard in The New Statesman.

He did what I still believe now to be the greatest edition of Jackanory every shown on TV - his reading of Roald Dahl's George's Marvellous Medicine was a breathtaking performance from an extremely talented man.

His teaming for Adrian Edmondson in the early 80s broke new ground with comedy when TV comedy was all safe and sound in the world of suburbia, they came crashing in kicking and screaming.

He died earlier today at the age of 56. I always in visioned Rik reaching his 90s still being his anarchic self, so for him to leave us at just 56 makes me (and no doubt quite a few others) annoyed and depressed at it all.

He leaves us with a tremendous legacy of comedy and brilliance.

He will be deeply missed by us all.

REST IN PEACE RIK MAYALL

In Memoriam 2013

Thought I'd start the year off with a video I spent ages creating - a memorial video of the past year. I haven't included everyone famous who died in 2013, because that would have taken ages.
