Scottish friends! I'm looking for a voice actor (roughly 30-40 years old, female) for an unannounced game✨

You definitely don't need to be an established actor, but you must be UK based with your own recording equipment.

This is a paid role, DM for brief! #voiceacting

Very pleased that the government has announced reforms to the law on so called ‘bad character evidence’ being used against victims of rape.

It’s the biggest change to rape law in over a decade.

And if you donate any amount, I'll give you a free month of London Centric.

If you would like to know the actual problems with the budget I set it all out in detail here.

As Stephen says the problem is the headroom isn't really there. Not that Reeves had loads of spare cash...

The last few weeks I've been off chasing the world's largest owls (Blakiston's fish owl) in Hokkaido. These massive, muppety, eagle-sized owls spend their nights hunting fish in shallow streams in the Russian far east/China/Northern Japan.

This is just peak late sixties/early seventies. Everything brown and grey, and worn out. Even the offices of the 'high end' advertising agency. Static electricity from the clothing. Don't even start on the sexual politics. (And clock who does the cleaning at the end).

5 years ago today, Pandemic Year. It had been a month since I opened my "side project" (lol) cat rescue in the spare room of my flat in London.

I saw an ad for a male kitten with "balance & walking problems" who urgently needed a home. And so it began. HAPPY SMOL PAUL DAY!
