I don’t understand

Posted by Ian Jones on June 25, 2007

I don’t understand. Everybody speaks English, the chips are crisp and fat, it all seems quite clean and then they spoil it with distasteful signage. This man appears to have been shot in the tail, like that scene in Robocop.

Paul Verhoeven is Dutch, which explains a lot. Starship Troopers is in my top ten films and the resulting miniatures game is very playable, the Infiltrator Bug miniature being of particular quality.

Anyroad, I ’stayed out of trouble’ and used the one back at the hotel.

Family

Family

Two halves of just the one coin.
Similar products of the very same loin.
In a spiritual sense twins,
Though luckily not conjoined.

Love & light, Dawn x

17: Anything in common?

Posted by Jonti Bloom on June 25, 2007

I have somehow managed to blag a meeting with a Dutch light entertainment powerhouse.

When I phoned them the other day the receptionist told me that their creative director Kip De Groot would be ‘thrilled’ to meet me and listen to my ideas. I’ve got an inkling she misheard my name, but either way, Jonti Bloom has a foot in the door.

Small problem, my meeting’s tomorrow afternoon and ideas are a bit thin on the ground.

So far all I’ve go is a vague notion about celebrities and their pets swapping places, inspired by a dream I had in which I found Gerry Halliwell squatting in a garden. Does anyone have a suggestions please?
