    JFK inaugural speech, 20 January 1961
    Jan 7 2026
    I thought it would be apposite to look back to the values America espoused at the beginning of the 1960's.

    Yes, I know I am British, but it's the message JFK put out to the world. It's the words which matter.

  • Bram Stoker - The Judge's House

    Bram Stoker - The Judge's House
    Jan 6 2026
    Stoker's classic story of the old Judges house.

    In “The Judge’s House” by Bram Stoker, Malcolm Malcolmson, a student seeking solitude to study, rents an old, abandoned mansion in a small town, ignoring local warnings about its dark past. The House once belonged to a notorious judge known for his harshness, and strange occurrences soon disturb Malcolmson’s peace, particularly the eerie presence of rats. As Malcolmson delves deeper into his studies, he is haunted by a giant rat with unsettling, human-like eyes that seem linked to the Judge’s malevolent spirit.
