This show will not disappoint: Simon is more passionate and knowledgeable about the magic of the movies than anyone I know.
Folks, I really need some help. For the last 10-15 days, I've been pretty much out of action, which has put me two weeks behind on promoting my Film Stories 500 show in London next week.
I'd be grateful for any help/support in getting the word out.
Thank you.

Whole fucking thing makes me sick to my stomach. An abject fucking liar, a man who lies as easily as he fucking breathes, threatening an organisation which strives for truthfulness. And plastic patriots like the Mail and Farage urging him on. Jackels.

By obsessing over a ‘market-led solution’, for our failed water sector, the government continues to green light the polluters and profiteers.
Result = more rip-off bills and no investment.
If you think Thames Water should be publicly owned, take 1 minute to email your MP today 👇🏼
