Invoices have been sent, the Kindle is loaded, the flights have been checked-in. Only one thing remains before I go on my holiday tomorrow: One little parting gift in the shape of a RAPS reveal. That’s if a RAPS post can be considered a gift. This RAPS was a quick shot from the hip, a gift for…
[Warning. Extremely rare political rant preceding the round-up. I am not even apologising. It has to be said.] I knew that today was going to be sad. Today is the second anniversary of my father’s death, a loss that I still feel acutely every single day. And another kind of pain now stands alongside that…
Ok, let’s celebrate. For the second year in a row, Armitage has bagged a Saturn Award. Last year it was for “Best Supporting Actor in a Film” for BOTFA, and this year he was presented with the gong for “Best Supporting TV Actor” for Hannibal. BEST SUPPORTING TV ACTOR goes to @RCArmitage PRESENTERS: #ChandlerRiggs & #MichaelMando at #SaturnAwards…
Another entry for the annual award for “most difficult-to-write post”. When really it could be so simple. A man writes an essay. He puts it out for the world to see, and by doing so, he knows – and expects, if not invites – that there will be reaction to it. Why then, I have…
It feels slightly futile to post a round-up today. Sorry, that is not a rib on Mr A’s recent tweet but a genuine sentiment – I suspect everyone is still busy reading Richard Armitage’s latest missive re. Cyberbullying and the various fan reactions to it. If you want to have a look for yourself, you can…
Can waiting be damaging to your health? Do controversies have a detrimental effect on your mental balance? In short, are you in need of First Aid? It’s an exciting time to be a fan of Mr A’s at the moment. Not only are we still waiting with bated breath for an announcement re. his next acting…
Hello? Anybody here or are you all staring hawk-like at Twitter and monitoring certain websites in order to snag coveted tickets? Well, have a short break and entertain yourselves with the weekly loot from Tumblr. Some nice stuff over there – but boy-oh, I have just realised that we may look forward to a veritable RAfest…
There has been some heavy necking going on here over night. That demands a post of its own. Inspired by a brilliant gif set by tumblr gif queen Circusgifs, Kathy’s creative juices got flowing. Since I can’t embed Circusgifs post here, take this screenshot for illustration and follow this link to see the collection in full,…
This weekly round-up nearly didn’t see the light of day. It’s not that there wasn’t any material. There was. It’s more that I am struggling to find the time for anything beyond work at the mo. A propos – let me take this opportunity to thank Mr A for lying low at the moment. Jeepers, if…
