Queen Victoria in Dublin (British Pathé film, 1900)

An extraordinary film record, albeit with a rather dismal music track

...another rather eccentric and marginal artistic project, the Willesden Herald blog. A community blog written by the people of the London borough of Willesden

Great website. I never thought I'd find a website that appreciated the strange intensity of Willesden sunsets. It sounds ridiculous to say you don't see them anywhere else - but it's true isn't it?

The touching story of Kenny the canary is a treasure.

Despite your outrageous heightism, I would be very happy to take up your case with the Council...

As you know yourself, the quest for form - the search for the voice and scale necessary to what one wishes to say - is the primary effort of writing. This may lead one into novel writing at one point, and into the writing of sonnets later on - rather as Beethoven confined himself almost exclusively to the string quartet after finishing the Op 125 symphony.

the wisdom of Red Woodward

"Never trust anybody honest."

"This whole everybody dying malarkey has got beyond a joke."

"One of these days you'll hear that I died. That's what I'll miss, hearing all the news."

"What a person says a lot about says a lot about a person."

"Minimalism is the biggest load of crap ever."

"There's no such thing as waiting. You are either doing something useful or you are doing something useless."

"Meditation? It's a racket."

"You can put me in a box when I pop my clogs but not before."

"Evidently I'm past my sell by date but not my use by date."

"We're not about to go bang."
