Not Stupid Today

by Graeme Cumming | Dec 5, 2020 | Blogging, Carrion, Life Lessons, Nostalgia | 0 comments

The Importance of Christmas

by Graeme Cumming | Nov 16, 2020 | Life Lessons, Nostalgia, Thinking Aloud | 19 comments

There’s a lot of talk at the moment about the possibilities of Christmas this year. Whether we can have it (we can – it’s not going anywhere), and how we can have it, and the chances of there being restrictions because of Covid-19. Christmas is an important...

In the mid-1970s, Brian Clemens and Albert Fennell, the main drivers of The Avengers, had another crack with John Steed and introduced The New Avengers. By the time that’d run its course, though, they had a completely different project in mind. Where The New Avengers...

by Graeme Cumming | Jan 14, 2020 | Book Reviews, Fiction, Nostalgia, Publishing, Thinking Aloud | 0 comments
