that's a damn fine version of Richard III - much enjoyed it when it came out. Must get a copy on vid/dvd - something to spend those birthday gift vouchers on, perhaps.

God, do you remember the big Mr. Happy just as you came down onto the M8 from the Clyde Tunnel?
He was "perkygoth".

I live in a crappy little place called Otley... but the good thing is, its only 10 miles from Leeds. Better still, 8 miles from Mr Whammy's studio.
Very goth though thanks to my large Sisters flag in our kitchen window.

Hey, that's not far from me
Fancy that, so many goths in this part of the country!

well it's pretty dark, mostly due to a lack of street lighting and the fact that it's the middle of the night
in the daylight though, could be easily mistaken for a non-very-goth-at-all place
we have our share of graveyards but fewer than expected links to musical notoriety
but it's home

I'm surrounded by drunk axemen and rotting corpses of famished dogs kept in a rusted cage above water. In the winter hares and foxes come to my garden, and in the summer cranes screech at dawn. I have plenty of bats in the cellar. And I didn't go to work today because no ploughs ever come here and with all the snow it's impossible to drive to the main road. What a lovely feeling it is to have Internet access in such circumstances!

Theres a place about half a mile from here called "cutthroat bridge".
Oddly enough, it's only been known as that since someone got killed in a layby there.
Before that it was known as "King's tree".
There is neither a bridge, nor any trees there - IT'S A f**king LAYBY!

There's a hill somewhere in England (I forget where) called Torpenhow Hill.
As "tor", "pen", and "how" are all old words meaning "hill", the name of the hill translates as Hillhillhill Hill.
How's that for a topic-derailment?

There's a "Bogle hole" somewhere between here and Whitby. I was heading over there with a red-haired goff lass, a nice little old lady (friend of my gran's) and a transsexual who couldn't walk and was having some trouble holding onto her wig.
The car broke down.
We had a picnic.
The AA man looked a bit confused

So going by the location on your profile, the Bogle Hole lies somewhere between Whitby and Planet Fame.

Not at all!
On a slightly more academic note, a 'bogle' is actually a sort of Scottish hobgoblin or mischievous spirit. I wonder if the English place-name comes from the same root word.

Jimmy Page?
