SETTING: A VICTORIAN STEAM RUN ‘MACHINE’ IN AN 80S WAREHOUSE
Evolution stops here.
A man I knew whose master had died in the crash came to me and said:
“Please. I have no position. I have no master. My legs have fallen off and I have a pain in my anus. Four thousand francs, that’s all I have. Please… Please… Please will you sell me four thousand francs worth of this thing.”
Life is by no means clean, but we do what we can.
Who needs money when you're funny?

It's Simon Smith and the amazing dancing bear

Shunt typically conjures up a brilliant coup de théatre that will linger in the memory long after more coherent shows have vanished.
TIME OUT
On a night when the dark forces come out to play, this evening is one that will not be forgotten.
RUN RIOTOh what a nightmare I had. And I mean this as praise.
