For weeks, Irish politicians have dodged questions about the refinery in Ireland supplying Russiaโs war machine.
So I tracked down government minister Niall Collins at a farming show.
He refuses to back sanctions & his stance was worse than I expected.
Avoidance.

In 2003, I was 9 years old & I auditioned to play Jeremy in Chitty @ the Palladium. I got a recall then got cut. I was in the street crying into the arms of my grandma when a man stopped and asked if I was ok. My grandma explained and he wrote me this. It was Anthony Head. RIP ๐

In 1956 Peter Cushing invited a film crew into his Kensington home to show off his hobby of painting miniature toy soldiers and battling with them using rules created by fellow hobbyist H.G. Wells.
The iconic actor was an old-school wargamer.
Mind blown?

At least I was alive when the BBC interviewed me.

Almost 30 years later, this man would play one of cinemaโs greatest villains. Quentin Tarantino nearly abandoned Inglourious Basterds (2009) after 7 months of failing to cast Hans Landa, calling the role โunplayable,โ until Christoph Waltz auditioned โgave him his movie back.โ

The great Paul Whitehouse is 68 years old today, which means I am obliged to post this (again!) - arguably the most majestically random but brilliant comedy sketch committed to celluloid for at least the last, what, forty, forty five years?
Yes, forty, forty five years.
Happy birthday Paul ๐ค
