Sherlock Holmes conference

Before I drop off the net for a bit while travelling, I'd best mention that on Saturday morning I'll be helping give a presentation at this Sherlock Holmes conference:

Should be interesting...

Whether I get round to mentioning "casting" Conrad Veidt and Claude Rains as Holmes and Watson I'm less sure of...

And as for Nine Worlds

Also before I may disappear for little bit while out and about, I should add that it seems I'll be doing some panels at

https://nineworlds.co.uk/

Specifically a Trek one, and four Dr Who ones - including the "villains we love to hate" one, for obvious reasons... You can bet the words "feuding exes" will appear if I'm not gagged when the Master is discussed...

Where the fuck is my hot water?

And we seem to have no hot water, fuck knows why cos the immerser's still working. At least it's light's on...

Hoist ye Jolly Roger!

Well, I would, on HMS Trincomalee last month...

Game Of Shadows

Watching Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows. Fun, but does this movie actually have a plot?

Anti kickstarter petition

Yep, amazingly, some douchebag cunt actually started a kickstarter for a guide to committing sexual assaults. The mind boggles.
