Meanwhile, Gia is really, I mean really, getting into the swing of her behind the scenes movie production blog Sunshine
Great pictures, stories about the cast and crew and fascinating facts about space and being in it. And now not only do we know it’s brilliant but she got featured in today’s Guardian so hundreds of thousands of muesli-knitters all over the UK do too. What a star…. (geddit!?!)

Dear esteemed readers, do please add yourselves to my frappr map. For those outside the UK, don’t worry, the map is global, it just defaults to show people nearby – which leads to a niggle. Within the US, pins can be attached to ZIP codes, but elsewhere you have to stick with City, so anyone in London will be assigned an arbitrary place here (there’s no option to go down to boroughs or areas such as Chelsea, Wimbledon or Islington – to name but three locations where I know my readers hang out) – hopefully this is just a beta issue! Come on – what are you waiting for? Get your pins out.
Most comment spam on this site gets deleted within a few hours of posting (that’s because I’m very rarely unconnected for that long!) It’s also usually either a generic comment like “Nice Site! Keep up the hard work! Meanwhile you might be interested in…” or else it’s completely irrelevant. However, I thought I’d share the following bit that came through this morning attached to the previous post about Zeldin, Conversation and building trust.
It comes from a nice person called Steve with this e-mail address: singa9876@yahoo.com
“Try some Liquid Trust!
I found that a great way to gain people’s trust is with a product called Liquid Trust. It is a spray that makes people trust you! Trust me, it works! You can get it here: “
oops, I seem to have lost the link in copying across just before I hit the delete button on this SPAM
“Ha ha ha ha, oh god, put them away you’re so sad”. That’s the reaction these get from my kids, so I thought I’d share them with a wider, more mature audience.
Yes, folks this is Mr Perfect Path twenty-one years ago, just having left home and disappeared off to the Guildford School of Acting. That haircut was the one after the Phil Oakey comb-over effort and before the standard actor’s short back and sides. Yes that’s a collarless grandad shirt, and yes that’s a grubby gabardine mac with shoplifters pockets, ideal for threatening all and sundry with impromptu acts of indecent exposure. Ahh the cheap nights at Cinderella Rockerfellas that that NUS card got me into.
A note to younger readers: If you’re under 21 (ie you weren’t born when these were taken) I really don’t want to know, OK? Just leave me in blissful ignorance that I’m old enough to be your father.
A note to older readers: Point me (and the rest of the Perfect Path gang) to pictures of you at that time, the more gorgeous the mullets or bubble perms, the better – bonus points for Buggles-style specs.
OK, is it just me, or does the right hand bit of this header graphic from an esteemed public service organisation remind you of a famous creation of Walt Disney? Y’know, if you screw your eyes up a bit…
I wouldn’t normally be interested in dog sites, especialy ugly dogs. Personally, I aspire to having a cat blog, perhaps one like Gia’s.
But there’s a special reason for linking to The Ugliest Dog in the world (WARNING: link is nsfgosm – not safe for granny or small children), and it involves an upcoming talk called Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts & RSS – what do they have to do with your future?
Darn. I was going to use that title (the talk one, not “World’s Ugliest Dog”)
Shut up.

Another blog-baby so cigars all round – I can’t take full responsibility for this one though, Noël clearly just needed a gentle push in the right direction.
So the production journal for Holy Ghost is up and running, and taking comments. The hope is that this will be a full company affair with contributions from as many people as possible. You’ll be glad to hear that there are RSS feeds both for entries and for comments. They know their RSS from their elbow down in the Carolinas, I can tell you.
Forget the blog for a minute and read the synopsis of the show:
“Set in Lowcountry South Carolina, this remarkable new play brings together a Nazi prisoner of war, American soldiers and Gullah sea islanders during World War II. Trustus Playwright-in-Residence Tuttle brings to life an incredibly relevant story. Be among the first to see a future American classic!”
Attendance at at least one performance is mandatory for all Perfect Path readers to the South and East of Nashville, though readers deep in the Florida panhandle may be excused under exceptional circumstances, such as a poorly leg, a bad cold or hurricane-induced homelessness. Residents of elsewhere in the United States are encouraged to holiday in Columbia, SC this year (right now, I hear it’s 100°F and 100% humidity… so goodness knows what it’ll be like in mid-August!)
While you’re waiting for the next instalment, you may marvel at the power of my mighty googlejuice whether using the British or the American spelling. Mwah hah!
Very glad that I’m not in Central London this morning.
At least one explosion confirmed so far on or near a bus outside the BMA in Tavistock Place (confused about whether it’s there or Russell Square). Reports of the double decker bus having the top ripped off.
Hearing about two other possible explosions on buses.
This together with explosions (the first reports that these were simply collisions or a power surge are fading away) at several points on the Underground . The entire network is closed.
A lot of people hurt.
Not a good day.
