Italy really is Jonti Bloom’s spiritual home:
- The best cars
- The best food
- The best clothes
- The best women
- The best football
And it’s acceptable for you to live with your mum past the age of 30.

56B: Magpie
Posted by Jonti Bloom on August 2, 2007
Always a sensitive film-maker and seeker of truth, I feel that I may be touching sensitive areas. And paying for quite a lot.

53: ‘King Prawn of Alicante’
Posted by Jonti Bloom on July 30, 2007
When I first started out as a documentary film maker I made a list of things I would never do even for a great story:
1. Put the lives of my immediate family in danger
2. The human trafficking of children
3. Have sex with a woman who marks less than 4/10
4. Black up in inner city areas
5. Sleep rough
6. Eat directly from a tin.
Looks like I’m going to have to revise the last two.

Boat/Bullets
Posted by Ian Jones on July 28, 2007
Carston has a knife with a pig on it. When he first landed in Spain he only
ate things he killed under his own steam, like dogs and seagulls and once a
horse when he was desperate. This is why he values luxury now, he says.

45: Mother’s pride
Posted by Jonti Bloom on July 22, 2007
As a documentary filmmaker, there are two holy grails: Sex and Death.
And here we have the dead daughter of europe’s most prolific sperm donor. I let out a small whoop of delight in the cemetery. Luckily I think only my sound recordist heard.

Sunday mornings
Posted by Dawn Jones on July 21, 2007
As a child, Sunday mornings were sacred in our house. Without fail, the whole family would gather together and watch Little House on the Prairie. It was a familiar scene with me on the bean bag and mum on the recliner, taking the weight off her gammy leg.
I remember one such morning with lung stinging clarity. Nellie Oleson slipped on a pig at the fair and had a tantrum. Charles Ingalls advised “When life throws you a lemon, Nellie, make some lemonade”. Mum said “Now there’s a lesson to live your life by”. And I have.
But sometimes, only on my darker days mind, I get tired of manufacturing gassy liquids. I don’t always want to roll with the punches, dust myself off and start all over again. Sometimes, I just feel a bit sad.
Love & Light,
Dawn

Merry-go-Found
Posted by Ian Jones on July 21, 2007
It worked!
Snowy Saltamentes rang the radio lady and now we’re going to meet up! This is a big success for me as Communications Officer and I am VERY PROUD.
I have washed my hair with Dawn’s Timotei and it is ‘well fluffy’ according to Dawn.
She has just added that ‘I am hyper’.

Rhyme and Reason
Posted by Dawn Jones on July 19, 2007
People ask me to describe my poetry. I tell them it’s pointless. How can you explain in words what’s felt in feelings?
I can’t predict what each individual’s reaction will be. Some cry, some dance. One man repeatedly hit himself in the face with a brick.
Either way, they’re feeling something and in today’s emotionally lethargic, post-Kilroy society, surely that’s the greatest gift if all?
Love & light,
Dawn
