Rewatching Hollyoaks 2008:

Honestly, in this scene John Paul must have suspected that something was off about Niall and start to be more alert around him, because it was a little creepy.

Song Review: Woody Platt feat. Del McCoury - “Broke Down Engine”

Woody Platt’s post-Steep Canyon Rangers solo career is off to an auspicious start with the Del McCoury-assisted remake of Blind Willie McTell’s “Broke Down Engine.”

The infectious bluegrass track announces the spring 2024 arrival of Platt’s debut solo album - title TBA - and also features Bryan Sutton on guitar, Barry Bales on bass, Daren Shumaker on mandolin and Bennett Sullivan on banjo.

The players are in top form, soloing across most of the track as Bales holds it together. McCoury and Platt trade lines throughout and when their voices come together, it’s a harmonic convergence that should’ve happened decades ago.

Platt left the Rangers in 2022.

Pentiment's Complete Bibliography, with links to some hard-to-find items:

I've seen some people post screenshots of the game's bibliography, but I hadn't found a plain text version (which would be much easier to work from), so I put together a complete typed version - citation style irregularities included lol. I checked through the full list and found that only four of the forty sources can't be found easily through a search engine. One has no English translation and I'm not even close to fluent enough in German to be able to actually translate an academic article, so I can't help there. For the other three (a museum exhibit book, a master's thesis, and portions of a primary source that has not been entirely translated into English), I tracked down links to them, which are included with their entries on the list.

If you want to read one of the journal articles but can't access it due to paywalls, try out 12ft.io or the unpaywall browser extension (works on Firefox and most chromium browsers). If there's something you have interest in reading but can't track down, let me know, and I can try to help! I'm pretty good at finding things lmao

Okay, happy reading, love you bye

Am Fear Liath Mór, or the Big Grey Man of Ben MacDhui [Scottish cryptid]

The high passes of Ben MacDhui – the second largest mountain in Scotland – are haunted by tales of a mysterious creature that supposedly stalks hikers. Usually it is described as an impossibly tall, grey spectre, thereby earning it the name ‘Am Fear Liath Mór’, meaning ‘the big grey man’.

The story starts in 1891 with professor Norman Collie of the Royal Geographic Society, who happened to be a passionate hiker as well. The professor had just climbed the cairn on the summit of Ben MacDhui when he heard something that vaguely sounded like footsteps. I should mention that this area is notoriously misty, so you can imagine how easy it is for a lone hiker to get anxious when hearing strange noises.

The footsteps continued, but they were oddly spaced: for every ‘step’ the professor heard, he himself took three or four. It was as if this mysterious spectre was taking giant leaps or had huge legs. Eventually the professor was overtaken by panic and fled. Much later, in 1925, he recounted his tale and shared it with the newspapers, who were eager to publish and often exaggerate the story of a supposed monster or cryptid living in the Scottish mountains. At the time, the mystery creature was dubbed ‘the Ben MacDhui Ghost’ in the media.

Afterwards, multiple people came forward with claims about the mountain ghost, some of which were believable (hearing unidentified sounds) and some were more fantastic (Richard Frere and Peter Densham claimed to have had a conversation with an invisible, psychic creature).

Richard Frere would later claim that while he was hiking on the top of the Ben MacDhui, he had an unshakeable feeling that someone else was there with him, and he would hear a strange high-pitched noise that seemed to come from the soil beneath his feet.

Frere also gave a physical description of a creature he claimed to have seen (but it is difficult to verify whether this is the oldest actual ‘sighting’ of the supposed ghost): a large, brown creature was seen swaggering down the mountainside. It stood about 20 feet (6m) tall, was covered with short brown fur and had a disproportionally large head supported by a thick, muscular neck. It had broad shoulders but walked upright and did not resemble an ape.

Interestingly, only a single sighting happened on a nearby mountain, rather than on the Ben MacDhui itself: in the 1920’s, Tom Crowley, the president of the local Moray Mountaineering Club, claimed to have seen an apparition while descending from Braeriach to the Glen Eanaich. It was a very tall, misty grey figure with a humanoid shape, albeit with long legs that ended in strange talons (described as resembling fingers more than toes) and a head with pointy ears.

Dr. A. M. Kellas, himself a famed mountaineer, also claimed that a giant grey humanoid creature haunted the mountain. Among the many supposed sightings, I am uncertain which one is actually the oldest description of the ‘Grey Man’ as a tall, grey spectre, but it is certainly the most popular one. The grey apparition had cemented itself as a local cryptid and urban legend and many more supposed sightings followed.

Though it is often claimed that the creature is connected to ancient Scottish or Celtic mythology, this is most likely false. Gray Affleck, the author of ‘The Big Grey Man of Ben MacDhui’, attempted to research this link but could not find a single connection with actual Highland mythology.

In 1958, the June edition of ‘Scots Magazine’ told the story of Alexander Tewnion’s 1943 expedition to the mountain. While he was descending the mountain, a giant grey shape suddenly loomed over him. Having none of this bullshit, Mr. Tewnion immediately pulled out his revolver and fired three bullets at the thing. The mysterious apparition seemed not to notice, however, and kept walking towards him, upon which Tewnion fled.

okay I need to talk about this bc it’s actually pissing me off 😭😭

let’s make this clear - at the end of the day what celebrities do with their lives in NONE of our business. Hugh Jackman, Sutton Foster and Debbora Lee are NOT obligated to share anything about their personal lives whatsoever.

second, there is no solidifying proof that he cheated on his ex wife. do you know how many rumors explode when some divorces and gets with someone else? Hugh and Debbora have also been divorced since 2023, so that’s a considerable amount of time to get with someone else.

“oh, she (Debbora) liked a post (posted by a GOSSIP blog abt him cheating) about it from her private instagram!” how do you know that’s her account? is there any proof of that? just because Debbora’s friend says she’s gonna “move on” or whatever does not indicate he cheated on her. it’s literally making me so mad seeing people be like “oh, leaving Hugh behind” or “deleting all my posts!” LIKE STOPPPP AND PLEASE DO UR RESEARCH.

do you know how many celebrities have cheated on their spouses? it doesn’t make it okay, but when someone ACTUALLY cheats they fan base is still there, but when it comes to Hugh and it’s a RUMOR everyone is suddenly gonna dip??? like hello???

it’s the SAME thing with Barry and Sabrina. he literally had to deactivate some of his social media bc he was receiving sooooooo much harassment for it. for something that may not even be true!!! js bc a couple breaks up doesn’t automatically mean one of them cheated 😭

guys we learn how to not spread rumors, so can we like not? leave him alone and leave Debbora and Sutton alone? if Deb actually got cheated on then that really sucks. but again it’s THEIR PERSONAL LIVES and we have ZERO credible and solidifying proof that Hugh cheated.

sorry needed to rant bc it was making me so mad.

What The Butler Saw, by Joe Orton

What The Butler Saw is the last play by Joe Orton, a popular playwright who frequently wrote black comedies. The play was finished in 1967, but it's production was delayed until 1969 because Orton was murdered a month after he had finished writing.

Just to give a notion of how famous Orton was, he was requested by The Beatles to write a script for them to star in, and another of Orton's plays, The Erpingham Camp, was directed by Sir Ian McKellen.

While this play is supposed to be an absurdist comedy, more specifically, a farce, I found it lacking in humour. I suppose it's an exemple of what they call British humour. There are so many things going on at the same time during the play that it confuses me. I boiled down to the essential incestuous parts, but in case you want to check out the play in it's full craziness, the BBC2's Theatre Night staging from 1987 is available on Youtube. This staring was produced by Shaun Sutton, directed by Barry Davis and stars Dinsdale Landen as Dr. Prentice, Tessa Peake-Jones as Geraldine Barclay, Prunella Scales and Mrs. Prentice and Tyler Butterworth as Nicholas Beckett.

The play opens with Dr. Prentice interviewing Geraldine for a position as secretary in his office in a mental asylum. He begins by asking who is her father and when she says she doesn't know, he continues to press the issue, wanting to know how she was conceived. Geraldine confesses that her mother had been raped when she worked as the chambermaid at the Station Hotel, and that's how Geraldine came to be. Dr. Prentice tells her that he once himself stayed in the Station Hotel and asks more about Geraldine's mother. She tells him that she haven't seen her mother in many years, having been raised by Mrs. Barclay, who recently died in an explosion. Then, he asks Geraldine to undress, under the guise of being medical examination so he can know she's healthy before he hires her. She is hesitant but agrees.

When Geraldine goes behind the curtain to make herself comfortable so that the doctor could examine her, Mrs. Prentice arrives to the office, as her group trip had gone awry and she had instead spent the night at the Station Hotel, where a bellboy tried to rape her and stole the dress she had been wearing, leaving her only with a coat to cover herself. The bellboy, Nicholas, is also blackmailing Mrs. Prentice, as he had taken photos of them having sex the night before (one can assume that now Mrs. Prentice claims it was an attempted rape to hide the fact that she was having an extramarrital affair). One of his demands in that Mrs. Prentice find him a job, and so decides to have her husband take Nicholas as a secretary, which is why Mrs. Prentice asks that the doctor employ the bellboy to prevent him of further living a life of crime.

As if the scene wasn't chaotic enough, in arrives Dr. Rance, who wants to carry a government sanctioned inspection in the asylum. When Dr. Rance sees Geraldine, Dr. Prentice lies that she's a patient who had attacked him, while naked. Dr. Rance then writes an order to have Geraldine committed, believing her to be have been molested by her father as a child, despite her insistence to have never even known him. Dr. Rance then takes Geraldine away and Mrs. Prentice returns with Nicholas, so he can be interviewed. Dr. Rance begins to believe that Dr. Prentice is insane.

Sargent Match knocks in the door as he wants to interview Nicholas regarding the bellboy "misconducted himself with a party of school children". In a attempt to hide, Nicholas puts on Geraldine's clothes, while Geraldine, not wanting to be wearing the hospital nightgown's, puts on the clothes that Nicholas had removed.

The scene escalates further as Dr. Rance becomes increasingly unhinged and tries to diagnose everyone in the clinic, all based on the misunderstanding caused by Dr. Prentice trying to hide Geraldine from his wife. Eventually, Dr. Prentice hits Mrs. Prentice and runs, as Dr. Rance wants to commit him to the asylum. Finally, Nicholas confesses his part in the farse and after a long time, Geraldine also persuades Dr. Rance that she's not insane. During her speech, she laments having lost her lucky charm, an elephant charm. Dr. Rance tells her he found it and returns it to her, upon which Nicholas then says that he has a matching one.

Mrs. Prentice takes both charms and places them together, and they fit morning a single jewellery, which she then says that had once belonged to her, having been gifted it by her rapist after he attacked her back when she worked as a chambermaid in the Station Hotel. The assault resulted in a pregnancy with twins, which she put out to adoption, leaving each one with half of the charm. She then recognizes Geraldine and Nicholas as her long lost children.

Dr. Prentice then chimes in that the jewel was actually his and he had lost it after having sex during a power outage with an unknown maid, therefore revealing that he had been the one to rape Mrs. Prentice years before and to be the father of Geraldine and Nicholas.

Dr. Rance announces happily that since Dr. Prentice is Geraldine's father, then he was right about Geraldine being the victim of incestuous abuse by her father.

Dr. Rance: "If you are this child's father my book can be written in good faith - she is the victim of an incestuous assault!" Mrs. Prentice: "And so am I, doctor! My son has a collection of indecent photographs which prove beyond doubt that he made free with me in the same hotel - indeed in the same linen cupboard where his conception took place." Dr. Rance: "Oh, what joy this discovery gives me! Double incest is even more likely to produce a best-seller than murder - and this is as it should be for love must bring greater joy than violence."

And with the incest (and attempted incest) being revealed and the family reunited, the play finally ends. Like I said, I cut off most of the events, for their were awfully confusing and chaotic. Not my type of work, not at all. There were also no butlers, which makes me question the title, but hey, that's it.

ISABEL AGREES TO HOST CANYON’S GALA OF THE YEAR, BUT ‘THE MCMURRAY CURSE’ IS THE TALK OF THE TOWN IN ‘RIDE’ PREMIERING APRIL 9, ON HALLMARK CHANNEL

STUDIO CITY, CA – April 6, 2023 – When Isabel (Nancy Travis, “Last Man Standing”) and the McMurrays step in to host Canyon’s gala of the year, tongues are wagging about “The McMurray Curse,” in this week’s episode of “Ride” premiering Sunday, April 9 (9 p.m. ET/PT), on Hallmark Channel. Travis, Tiera Skovbye (“Riverdale”), Beau Mirchoff (“Good Trouble”), Sara Garcia (“The Flash”), Jake Foy (“Designated Survivor”) and Tyler Jacob Moore (“Shameless”) star.

When Canyon, Colorado’s most important annual gala loses its venue the day before the event, Hank (Greg Lawson, “Wynonna Earp”) offers for Isabel and the McMurrays to host at their barn. Unfortunately, the dusty, old barn is nowhere near the standards of the gala chair, Barbara Sutton (Rachel Crawford, “Heartland”) – Isabel’s friendly rival. Not one to give up, Isabel mobilizes everyone at the ranch to help spiff the barn up overnight. With the gala quickly approaching, the venue isn’t the only thing that needs a makeover, as Isabel persuades Cash (Mirchoff) that charming the judges there is as important a step to winning as any of his other training. Thankfully his coach Missy (Skovbye) is just the person to help. For her part, Missy is struggling with her own riding and must figure out why or risk losing her sponsorship deal. Now stepping into her role as co-foreman alongside Tuff (Foy), Valeria (Garcia) is frustrated when the ranch hands are not taking her promotion seriously. Tuff – still reeling from witnessing her mysterious encounter the other night – tries to uncover what Valeria’s really hiding. Despite everyone’s hard work, they realize that won’t stop the town of Canyon from gossiping about the McMurray family curse.

“Ride” is a Blink49 Studios / Seven24 Films Production. Executive producers are Rebecca Boss, Chris Masi, Sherri Cooper, Alexandra Zarowny, Paolo Barzman, Greg Gugliotta, FJ Denny, John Morayniss, Carolyn Newman, Virginia Rankin, Elana Barry, Josh Adler, Jordy Randall and Tom Cox. Alejandro Alcoba is co-executive producer. The series is produced by Brian Dennis. Lesley Grant is supervising producer. Paolo Barzman directed from a script by Rebecca Boss & Chris Masi.
