Mr. Oberon, the graveyard cat of St. Mary’s Mawgate is alleged to be 82-years-old. Most in the village say this is nonsense, he’s merely a descendant of the original Mr. Oberon. Others, mainly those who drink at the Green Pyramids, say there’s nothing stranger than truth. https://t.co/TUC3j5Iwlp

@northtrucktales Not by me. I make it to be freely given out when I give talks on the county. The free is a big part of the ethos of Hookland. I am not a food manufacturer, nor would I want to be one.

@northtrucktales However, if someone wants to start brewing Lazarus ale, Old Cunning Wren gin or or Tor Tonic I will happily be writing out the special labels.

The sign says ‘DANGER Deep Water’ because telling the truth by saying ‘DANGER Stay Belows Dwell Here’ would be bad for business and not exactly attract drinkers to the beer garden at the Old Mill pub in Tawstone. https://t.co/zyvac9s5O0

@MurphGothic But of course, even though it is turgid and slow to the point of torture, we watch it for completeness. Even horror films that are not worthy of either the word horror or film such as ___ ________ __ ______ _______.

@MurphGothic I was wanting to be Elvis and take a shotgun to the screen for Conjuring 2 and that was within the first minutes and the anachronistic use of The Clash and the wrong type of childrens‰Ûª coats and dialogue so tedious even a politician would struggle to utter it.
