The enjoyment of my very first mince pie of the season at Capsule & 7 Inch Cinema’s Afternoon Delight in VIVID this afternoon was severely marred by their showing Santa: The Fascist Years. Say it ain’t so! I’m not sure I can leave my stocking out in good conscience this year.

And then I learn that Mr Ralph has lost his early lead in BiNS Brummie of the Year and been overtaken by UB40′s Brian Travers, which is well deserved, especially for his sterling support for The Rainbow, but a little saddening all the same. I think I need some chocolate to cheer me up.

John Tighe’s Head Shaving from Nicky Getgood on Vimeo.

As promised, here’s the first video taken by my brand new Flip, kindly donated to me by Fullrange Films. Spotted Dog landlord John Tighe gets his head shaved for charidee by a rather un-PC barmaid. Funilly enough, no-one wants the lock of hair I harvested that evening. Thankfully Jon Bounds has come to the rescue with talk of somehow locking it inside the trophy for Brummie of the Year 2008. I hope this will start a tradition of the previous years’ winner passing on discarded body bits to their successors, complete with ceremony, like when Miss World passes on her crown but a bit grosser.
