Matt In The Hat‘s video introduction for the second film at Troma Night 300 (Friday 16th April 2010), The Deadly Bess. This version
is necessarily censored to comply with YouTube’s position on penises, but the original video didn’t have this censorship: and nobody at Troma Night knew what was coming until it was
right in their face… Read more about the event…
If there still exists anybody on Earth to whom I haven’t shown the Cyanide & Happiness short film, Waiting For The Bus, you should go and watch it now, because it’s the funniest thing that
has ever existed.
JTA had forgotten to bring his coat with him to Troma Night, so he quickly fashioned himself a makeshift coat out of bin bags.
Unfortunately, it had stopped raining in the meantime, and so he ended up looking like a bit of a wally.
Following the fire at Y Tabernacle, Mill Street,
Aberystwyth at the weekend, the decision was made that it was structurally
unsound and had to be demolished. It’s sad to see such a beautiful (pics) old building torn down, but one can’t help but marvel at the speed and efficiency with which they did it. This morning, as I
walked to work, there was no sign of any of the heavy plant machinery that later appeared. Yet this evening, as I look out of the windows of my office, the building’s suspiciously
absent – from this distance, it’s just a space in the skyline.
I’ve taken a few videos of the demolition on my mobile and uploaded them to YouTube. If you can’t see them below, you might
try here.
I notice that the fire’s being treated as suspicious, and I hear that arrests have
been made. I’ve also heard my fair share of conspiracy stories already about it – the building is apparently a recent aqcuisition of Merlin Homes, whose boss (rumour has it) was conveniently out of the country when this and (allegedly) another Merlin Homes building burnt down in a
very short space of time… I suppose they’ll be building a block of flats on the site, now.
On 27 April 2007 some friends and I went to the (last surviving) Crystal Maze Cyberdrome Experience at Oakwood Theme Park. Here, some of my friends can be seen playing the Crystal Dome
game. See more photos here.
