You Know You Love To Hate Him.And Her.

No Tardis library is complete without a copy of this new publication. This Masterful Tome is a complete and comprehensive history of The Doctor's oldest chum and possibly deadliest enemy. From the swarthy Charm of Delgado through the leprous madness of Beevers to the head scratching nuttiness of the Poppins like Gomez every rotten box is ticked.
               He..Er, She is The Master..
               You will obey him..er,Her!

Portraits Of A Timelord.

Stick on a bit of the sublime Murray Gold and take a dander around this small gallery of portraits of The Doctor by the wonderful Daryl Shaw. Are they not grand? The masterful clean and gentle line work that encourages the eye to rest fuss free. The sketch work so deceptively simple but which nails The Doctor's personalities as each image melts into the other as you slide your eyes over them. All with a knowing confidence telling us we are looking at four faces of the same man.
             They really are a joy. I feel as though someone has opened a window in a fusty room to let in some fresh air. Really lovely.
              Many many thanks to Daryl for sharing these with me and allowing me to do the same with you.

Wee Fly Man.

        In the company of Agatha Christie The Doctor found himself caught between a Unicorn and A Wasp.
                                                What on earth would he make of this?

We Are All Completely Folk'd Now.

Oh What A Night! The launch for the third book in Laurence Donaghy's Folk'd trilogy was a big success with a large turn out and a friendly crowd on Thursday night at the FPI store in Belfast. Laurence was particularly chuffed at the cosplay of his character The Morrigan. She will cut a bloody swathe through a blood drenched battlefield with her spear whilst I could tidy up behind her as she goes with my duster of Tir Na Nog.
             There is nothing more unsightly than a blood drenched body strewn battlefield.
             This trilogy of books by Laurence has really raised the bar high for anyone following in his wake. Let them be a rallying point for all the talent out there who have considered entering the story telling field and have found up until now they lacked the inspiration and the motivation.
               A new voice has truly risen in the North Of Ireland.
               But there is no reason he should be the only one.

Scarlet And The Black.

Criminals used to be such a cowardly and superstitious lot but now I suspect they are less so inclined. Things which cannot be downloaded to their phones do not exist for them. The mobile phone has done more to discourage belief in the supernatural than the Spanish Inquisition managed in its nightmare time. Although I suspect their feelings about being punched in the nose by a member of the extended Bat-Family probably have not changed. Batwoman herself was recently spotted on a rooftop on Anne Street Belfast. Rumours are she confronted the notorious Doctor Flaccid and his henchmen The Disapointments in a smelly alley way just off Corn Market...
              Well..Are'nt they all.
              Er,smelly that is..

All Folk'd Now.

                                              Here are the details for the signing. Come on down.
                                                            There is no such thing as a stranger

Reasons To Be Cheerfull.

Was hobbling down the street the other day when I felt something unexpected and yet welcomingly warm touch and almost caress my face. I looked up in surprise and saw it was the sun in a blue sky saying hello after being gone for such a long winter. Sol did not stick around long, just a brief reminder that he will return..
             Was reminded of The Laurel And Hardy Episode In The Good Old Summer Time.
             Ah,reasons to be cheerful.
