    I’d never read James or had any real interest in ghost stories but I’d heard his collection praised as possibly the finest ever numerous times on the net and elsewhere so 3 or 4 months ago I bought the collection and I have to say that they’re brilliant stories. There’s a documentary (or 2?) on Amazon Prime about James that I keep meaning to watch but I haven’t gotten around to it yet.
    Regards

      This is unbelievable.

      London's Globe Theatre - which is on the site of the Bard's original playhouse - alerts the audience before performances that suicide, drug use and fake blood feature in a production of Romeo and Juliet.

        I assume they're not really giving the Samaritans number out because they're admitting the production is so bad...

          I was just thinking about Sir Laurence Olivier playing the part of Othello.
          Never believe anything until it has been officially denied.

            I wonder what the Samaritans themselves think of this?

                    Dr Diddles prescribes six months abstinence from the Daily Mail.

                    It only winds you up and makes you blow a gasket .

                    It's not good for your blood pressure.

                    Leave it alone!!!

                    No good will come of it!!!

                            To be honest, I find Aled Jones pretty traumatising at the best of times, so SoP may carry a risk of triggering me!!

                            Sure, that stuff is ubiquitous but honestly Herlock, stepping away from the Daily Mail will greatly reduce your exposure to it!

                            Give it a shot.

                            I'm confident you'll feel much better for it....
