Matthew Coniam: The Kenny Everett Collectors' Guide #1
http://matthewconiam.blogspot.com/2010/04/kenny-everett-collectors-guide-no-1.html
I have several blogs. This is another one. Sunday, April 18, 2010. The Kenny Everett Collectors Guide #1. Kenny Everett's Ultimate Loo Book (1988). The golden age of Everett-related collectibles was undoubtedly the Thames years: this highly desirable item dates from the other end of his tv career, appearing in the shops after his almost completely ignored fifth and final BBC series. (The cover shows him climbing out of a lavatory bowl with the severe, short hairdo he had sported since series 3.). A: Nich...

Matthew Coniam: Some things are simply not possible in an ordered universe, and Sally Geeson turning sixty is one of them
http://matthewconiam.blogspot.com/2010/07/some-things-are-simply-not-possible-in_14.html
I have several blogs. This is another one. Wednesday, July 14, 2010. Some things are simply not possible in an ordered universe, and Sally Geeson turning sixty is one of them. Sally Geeson is always Sally. She is Sally, for instance, in. Cry of the Banshee. A period dress horror film with Vincent Price, animated titles by Terry Gilliam, and a dog whose growling is obviously dubbed by a man. What's Good For The Goose. She is Sally in. Carry On Abroad,. Most of all she is Sally in. Bless This House,. The f...

Matthew Coniam: The choice collection of good time well known songs on wax today
http://matthewconiam.blogspot.com/2012/01/choice-collection-of-good-time-well.html
I have several blogs. This is another one. Monday, January 16, 2012. The choice collection of good time well known songs on wax today. Picked up this fabulous LP recently. Exactly as the cover implies, it's a collection of old pub standards delivered with bellowing, pissed-up imprecision by what would seem to be a genuinely assembled crowd of booze-crazed wastrels. The album dates from 1974, and 'Stereo Gold Award' is the name of the label, not an indication that it actually won any kind of award. Young ...

Matthew Coniam: Smoking is cool, and pipe smoking is even cooler
http://matthewconiam.blogspot.com/2012/03/smoking-is-cool-and-pipe-smoking-is.html
I have several blogs. This is another one. Tuesday, March 13, 2012. Smoking is cool, and pipe smoking is even cooler. The picture below is of me on my honeymoon terrace in Venice, enjoying an early morning infumation. Yes, friends, I am a pipe smoker. By what path do things that were once ubiquitous become eccentric? I started pipe smoking seriously about five years ago. It's partly because I am susceptible to a weird kind of peer pressure. I couldn't care less what my actual peers wear/drink/wat...No, w...

Matthew Coniam: Pan's People are in noisy chainmail and all is right with the world
http://matthewconiam.blogspot.com/2010/05/pan-people-are-in-noisy-chainmail-and.html
I have several blogs. This is another one. Monday, May 17, 2010. Pans People are in noisy chainmail and all is right with the world. In my previous post, on the subject of Freddie and the Dreamers, I pointed out how in the clip of them performing. It was an especial treat to hear Garrity's feet banging on the wooden boards of the studio, something you rarely get to enjoy in the more professionally sound-recorded tv of today. That you can enjoy at the end of this post. Incidentally, were Pan's People.

Matthew Coniam: Do the Freddie
http://matthewconiam.blogspot.com/2010/05/do-freddie.html
I have several blogs. This is another one. Monday, May 17, 2010. I don't get nostalgic about pop music by and large. In fact I hate most of it. Like the movies, pop music obviously goes into decline around the time of the Second World War, and the sound of Elvis Presley is the sound of nails being hammered into the genre's coffin. And don't get me started on the Beatles. Actually do. When are people going to grow up and see these amateur twang merchants for what they are? Oh, I don't know. There's. Where...

Matthew Coniam: Childhood in a bag
http://matthewconiam.blogspot.com/2012/01/childhood-in-bag.html
I have several blogs. This is another one. Thursday, January 19, 2012. Childhood in a bag. Scampi Fries, to be found occasionally in corner grocery shops and mini-mart garages, but naturally occurring behind the bars of pubs, hanging from the back of the door on a cardboard sheet, are one of the supreme luxuries of life. But I find it hard to believe that anything in the natural world can be as satisfying, let alone something that has to be dragged out of the sea and killed first. But the best thing abou...

I have several blogs. This is another one. Thursday, April 15, 2010. Tremate, tremate, i Roper son tornati! We all know that British sitcom travels with surprising success to some surprising places, but this has to be the winner.

Matthew Coniam: Chicks with hammers
http://matthewconiam.blogspot.com/2010/03/chicks-with-hammers.html
I have several blogs. This is another one. Sunday, March 14, 2010. To kick off my new blog, here's a picture of the lovely Glynis Johns, about to put a hammer through the skull of Terry-Thomas in that fine English film. I re-encountered this picture, which comes trailing so many memories of hours of primary school playground time spent staring at the book. By Alan Frank, when researching a magazine article on Glynis recently. Here she points out the dangers of playing tennis in high heels:. Girls in nois...
