Detested BACKROOMS - by the time it actually got interesting, it was too late. To avoid if you care about the time you spend.

????? What cinema puts a ten minute break in? This isn't the 1980s!!!!

BACKROOMS it is!

TAGGART dvd's in a book exchange in Holland!

The marker for where Heironymous Bosch is buried - in reality, he's somewhere under the grass in this corner.

So funny, you come back to a cathedral after a decade and the skulls greet you like an old friend!

Meet Koa, the cutest dog in 's-hertogenbosch! (a very nervous wee soul)

Woohoo! Last day of holiday - not been here since my 40th birthday when I went to the Heironymous Bosch 500th anniversary exhibition!

Been saying this for years, anyone who abuses animals is an absolute danger. But as long as we have politicians who still support fox hunting I can't see it happening. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

In hindsight, not my wisest move - a few months after a heart operation...

May have had some naughty gummies. I'm so fucking high. All aches in my shoulder have vanished! WTF???

The supernatural on Dutch tiles

Daylight robbery at the Vermeer museum. Stay away.

NOSFERATU THE VAMPYRE (1979) in Delft

Boo, first train cancellation of the trip and it's Eindhoven to Delft that's let me down! 45 mins till the next one, ho-hum.

Best. Poster. Ever.

At the Phillips museum

At the DAF museum. Leyland DAF is not mentioned AT ALL like some dirty secret lovechild.

Do we want Arsenal to win? We getting behind them?

Found some jazz. 50 cents each. I love Holland. @andrewmale.bsky.social @darkoutside.co.uk @kirkdalebooks.bsky.social

So, I propose that the next backrooms be Kiosks at railway stations.

"So tell me what you want, what you really, really want" Nightmares

Right ADHD is on fire tonight, so I don't know if, when or how, but MAINS ON M*A*S*H will be a thing that happens on Youtube.

I've watched M*A*S*H more than any other drama. If anyone wants to do a podcast where we just talk about it an episode for each episode, I'm game.

TOP TIP: VPN to Albania and your YouTube will never have ads on them as Albania banned them.

Just met Mo, the prettiest dog in Antwerp!

Photos of me chuntering away at my talk courtesy of @annebillson.bsky.social "The Cthulhu was *this* big!!"

HOLY FUUUUUUUUUCK

Lovely evening listening to @johnnymains.co.uk talk about horror, libraries, and rediscovering lost Victorian stories. Can't wait to dive into the two collections I bought.

With the peerless @annebillson.bsky.social and John who runs the amazing magazine @wyrdscience.bsky.social in a bar called THE SUDDEN DEATH.

Simon, it was lovely of you to come!! You are a great, great man.

NEDS rewrapped

If the myth is true, it's mad to think that if Leah Betts hadn't taken an ecstasy tablet and died, there would have been no Essex Boy films (TEN of them so far).

Tonight I'm at Waterstones in Brussels at 5pm! Jump on that Eurostar! 😂

'Allegory of Satan (Lord of the World)' - Ludwik Stasiak (1900)

Marnie is nearly 14, and so far, there's been an agreement that there's no snapchat, insta, tik tok etc - my worry is that these open her up to a world of shit. She feels excluded with her peer group and says that she's not stupid and knows to block unsafe content. But I'd say that Insta and

Watching an episode of THE REST IS SCIENCE on YT and it reminded me of when a whole auditorium laughed at my question to Patrick Moore (who mocked me) about why everything in space was determined by maths. I was 17, undiagnosed with dyscalculia and ugh. Still makes me shiver

Holiday photos I have sent to my daughter: a thread

What is a PATRIOT? This is a patriot to me.

Today can absolutely go and fuck itself.
