One hundred issues!Can you Adam and Eve it?We can’t.That’s one hundred issues of

telling the masses what’s going on.A hundred issues of Agony Boy

and his successor Agony Girl.In our humble opinion it’s quite

an achievement. We’ve got aspecial feature in this magazineabout how we got this far. All thetrials and tribulations. And all thefun bits too.

We’ve had a few mistepsalong the way. A few cover storieswe’re not too proud of. But we’vealso had some of the best times amagazine can have.

There was the time we gotdrunk on real ale with Young

Knives (this was after theydropped the ‘The’), our amazingmonthly comedy nights, all of ourgigs we’ve held (yes, even the onewhen I fell off the stage in adrunken mess!) and that time Iaccidentally wound up the bandGaslight Anthem by making aninappropriate fart joke.

There were also the times wemanaged to wind up UKIP and theBNP with piles of badly speltletters appearing in our postbox.Why does being narrow-mindedgo hand in hand with having nosense of humour and an inability tospell?

We’ve had plenty of voles,traffic wardens and some satiricalBassett Rivers front pages that I still

laugh at today. My favouritesbeing ‘No Offense Nun Taken’about an inoffensive nunkidnapping and ‘Vandals Strike atSchool’ about an ancient Germanictribe going on strike at a school.

It’s been quite a ride. Here’s toanother 100 issues!

Last month, “selfie” became an officially acceptedword in Scrabble. This of course means the world isdoomed. When Scrabble accepts a popular termas a usable, point scoring word, then it won’t belong until your grandmother uses that word againstyou as she shakily places her tiles down on theboard and trounces you with a triple-word score.Today it’s selfie, tomorrow it’ll be amazeballs andthen next week it’ll be vajazzle. Imaginechallenging your Granny to look that one up in thedictionary!

Like most colloquial terms, the act of taking a“selfie” outdates the term by a number of years.Mostly remembered by the Myspace Generation,the selfie was the narcissistic pastime of boredteenage girls and muscle-flexing boys looking tooutfit their profile with the most ‘rad’ colourschemes, song lyrics and of course, self-portraits.These pictures, before the days of reversecameras, were taken (badly) in bathroom mirrors,usually with the flash still on, so all you really gotto see was a bright white light and maybe aninteresting array of bathroom fixtures andtoothpaste brands.

Fast forward to today and the selfie, despite

still having connotations of self-obsession andnarcissism, has become so universally accepted,even Obama couldn’t resist getting in on one withthe Danish Prime Minister during Nelson Mandela’sfuneral.

The mainstream press are so obsessed withwhat they perceive to be a fairly recentphenomenon that they find any excuse to report ona selfie related story, like a toddler excitedlyrepeating a new word they’ve just learned.

Even the spacecraft following the Rosettacomet was supposedly reported to have taken a“selfie” during its mission in order to relayinformation back to Mission Control. Though how aninanimate machine with no sense of self is capableof taking a selfie is possibly an existential questionthat will have to wait for another day.

When the story of selfie addict DannyBowman came to light, it instantly fed the hysteriaand fascination with the selfie culture, sparkingdebate between the disgusted selfie cynics and the“live and let live” brigade. Danny, who wasdiagnosed with OCD and Body DysmorphicDisorder, would take up to 200 selfies a day andlost two stone in weight in his obsessive attempts toget a perfect selfie, eventually attempting to takehis own life when his efforts appeared to heed noresults.

But whether you’re repulsed, impressed orobsessed, one thing’s for sure; Sunday afternoonScrabble will never be the same.

I’ve just got back to Erbil, after almost five weeks inAmman, five weeks of open-ended, yetcomfortable purgatory, as we waited for a returndate.

I was evacuated by my school’s insurancecompany when the fighting got a little close andthey decided the expense of flying us away andputting us up in a posh hotel was better thanchancing on coughing up for a body or two. It waswelcome, to be honest, as I’m not a fearless warreporter, and although the enemy was retreatingfrom the gates of my city by the time I left, I was alittle ragged, drunk too often and in need of timeto think about how long I want to remain inKurdistan.

As we got on the plane, my colleagues furnished

with their pet dogs and cats, I wondered if I’d evenreturn; what I wasn’t taking with me was packedand ready to be sent on, whilst my luggagecontained the 21st Century essential sentimentals –hard drives of photos mostly, but the odd journal ortwo thrown in, alongside my unfinished novelmanuscript, untouched for a few years.

But I came back. And I’ve resolved to wait forthe release of my captive friend at least. And thattoo is open-ended, although it’s not comfortable.While I wait, I might just revisit that novel; gettingimmersed in a fiction of my own creation in Russiabeats the reality of those Islamic Statemotherfuckers.

CLIMATE CHANGE DENIERSSo, we’ve been enjoying a bit of an Indian summer.And already you’re probably hearing a fewpeople say ‘Well if this is global warming, that’sfantastic’. In England we’re so used to every daybeing a drab, grey monochrome that we embraceevery bit of sunlight as if they’re a long lostrelative from Australia.

It’s not good though. Global warming is a realproblem that is making our weather asunpredictable as a two-year-old on amphetamines.

Fancy a bit of sunshine? You got it! But youdon’t mind if I flood Somerset in its entirety just forgood measure? No. Okay, that’s good as I was alsoplanning on flooding Devon, making Scotland anarctic wasteland and making as much of this islandas inhabitable as possible during the winter months.But as long as you can get more sunbathing in that’sokay then.

But it’s the climate-change deniers that reallyget my goat. Despite all the evidence to thecontrary. All the carefully researched empiricalscientific evidence that points to the fact that we’rewrecking this earth if we don’t sit up and listen.They get my goat.

‘There’s nothing to see here, please movealong. Don’t worry it’s all a conspiracy so that theycan buld more windmills in Cornwall. What’s that?My home’s flooded. That’s just burst pipes and hasgot nothing to do with the Biblical amount of rainwe’ve been having for forty days and nights.What’s that? You’ve just spotted that I’ve beenbuilding an ark in my shed and that I’ve beengathering all the local wildlife two by two so thatwe can survive the coming apocalypse. You must beseeing things!’

Bloody idiots.

It’s National Liftshare Week from October 6 to 10,which means a good opportunity to consider the 38million empty seats being driven around the UK atthe moment.

With prices at the petrol pumps makingmotoring an expensive way of getting around,Swindon Travel Choices promotes car sharing as away to share the expense of motoring, whilsthelping the environment and cutting congestion.

Carshareswindon.com is an online resource tomatch up drivers and passengers who are headingthe same way at the same time. There are over2000 members already signed up, with scores ofpeople looking for lifts or passengers to sharejourneys from all over Swindon to Bath, Bristol,Windmill Hill, Malmesbury, the Great WesternHospital and many more locations.

“For me it’s definitely the financial aspect thatbenefits me most,” says Ian, part of a 3 strong carshare team that travels from North Swindon toNewbury daily. “The passengers are saving 65miles a day, so that’s 130 miles between us. That’sabout 650 miles a week, about 30,000 miles ayear. That’s more than the distance around theequator just from our one car share group!”

Each car sharer saves £12 a day when theydon’t drive, which adds up to a whopping £1900each year. “And that’s just fuel,” he continues. “Itsaves the wear and tear on the car, thedepreciation value, my insurance is cheaper asthere’s less miles on the clock, and less things gowrong with the car as it has less use.”

For Sandy, he feels his car share group stopshim working far too many hours. “Not manycompanies tell you to go home,” he says, “so whenthere are other people depending on me to gethome, it forces me to pack up. I think I’d spendmuch too long in the office otherwise as I lack self-discipline.”

One theme came through from all the carsharers – it works better when the employer isactively encouraging it. At Swindon’s Great

Western Hospital, the car parking charges makecar sharing more cost effective, and the employerprovides emergency passes in case anybody getsstuck. The parking restrictions are also lifted atholiday time, when the pressure on spaces is less.In Newbury, the managers understand that peoplecan’t stay late or have to leave meetings if theyare dragging on.

“There are a few sacrifices that need to bemade to make car sharing work,” admits Sandy.“We had to agree to leave at the same time everymorning, and to all leave work together at the endof the day. But that’s good in a way, as I’m the sortof person that would keep on working otherwise.”

So what advice would the car sharers give topeople who think that car sharing isn’t for them? “I’d encourage people to give it a go, rather thanthink they can’t, or dismiss the idea because of apreconceived idea that you have to give up yourflexibility and freedom,” says Sandy. “It helpswhen employers offer incentives to car share – suchas special spaces, or restricting parking to nonsharers, so it’s worth asking your employer whatthey are doing.”

“I’d say that you have to accept you need abit of flexibility to make it work,” says Ian, “but ifyou set out the boundaries from the start, it workswell. The financial saving alone far outweighs anyinconvenience for me. If my employer built amassive car park overnight and said that everyonecan now have their own personal parking space, Iwouldn’t want it. I would still want to car share. Itdoesn’t make sense not to.”

You can check how many car sharers aregoing your way, and use the cost calculator atwww.carshareswindon.com.

The Swindon Travel Choices website also has adownloadable Q+A booklet about car sharing thatcovers frequently asked questions around insurance,sharing costs, keeping safe and basic ground rules.

I used to smoke 40 cigarettes a day. My routinelife used to be ruled by smoking. I would have acigarette first thing in the morning and last thing atnight. My work breaks were all to do with smoking.I hated flying. I mean really hated flying because Icouldn’t smoke. I would panic if I didn’t have acigarette ready to hand at any given time.

I gave up three and a half years ago with thehelp of the Oxfordshire Smoking Advice ServiceService. It was a lot easier than I thought it wouldbe. With their support and advice I was able to gofrom being the heaviest smoker that I knew to notsmoking at all and I haven’t looked back since.

There are many different ways to give upsmoking and they will find the best plan for you.

I would recommend that any smoker uses thisservice and next month’s Stoptober campaignwhich encourages people to take part in a 28 daychallenge from October 1 is the perfectopportunity.

According to national surveys around 75% ofsmokers want to stop smoking for good and 80%say they wish they’d never started.

As part of the Public Health England’s high-profile campaign, there’s a load of support outthere to help you quit using the OxfordshireSmoking Advice Service as it offers free help,support and advice. Wiltshire and Berkshire bothhave their own versions of the stop smoking serviceas well.

If you’re a smoker, giving up smoking isprobably the biggest single step you can take to

improve your health.Statistics show that smoking is responsible for

one in every five deaths in adults over 35 inEngland and that over a million people areadmitted to hospital with smoking-related diseaseseach year.

Giving up smoking helps more than your health,it will help your bank balance too. A 20-a-daysmoker will spend on average £40 a week oncigarettes – that adds up to £2,400 a year. And inthese ‘credit crunch’ times that amount of cashwould go a long way.

If you want to give up smoking, why not get intouch with The Oxfordshire Smoking Advice Service. It doesn't matter if you've tried many times beforebut without success - their trained advisors havehelped many people in similar situations.

I personally found that they helped no end. Youare four times more likely to stop smokingsuccessfully with their help compared to trying toquit alone. Support is given in a friendly and non-judgmental way, as well as advice about stopsmoking treatments that are available onprescription.

You can find help by asking to see a stopsmoking advisor at your GP surgery, asking at yourlocal pharmacy, dropping in at a stop smokingclinic or contacting the service directly.

Contact Oxfordshire Smoking Advice Service toget support on 0845 40 80 300 or visitwww.smokefreeoxfordshire.nhs.uk

It’ll be the best decision you ever make.

Are you ready to Quitthis Stopober?

Stoptober - the 28 day stop smoking challenge from Public Health England- is back , with added support from top comedians for October 2014. Youmay have already seen Paddy McGuinness in the Stoptober TV adverts.He's making it clear that if smokers can stay smoke free for 28 days theyare five times more likely to stop for good. During the challenge there willbe lots of support to help people on their quitting journey, including aprepare pack, a text support service and even an ap for real-timesupport..

Back in August this year, when (if the media is to bebelieved), the Nation was in thrall to BakedAlaska’s and aghast at ice-cream misadventures,another less well advertised national competitionwas underway which (no offence to Berry & Co),made The Great British Bake-Off look like aleisurely afternoon in the Blue Peter kitchen.

The Great British Homebrew Challenge 2014,organised and held at Thornbridge Brewery inDerbyshire this year saw more than 200 amateurhome-brewers enter some jaw-droppingly fantasticbrews, many of which would give professionalbrewers a run for their money. The best brew wouldlay claim to not only the crown but mass bottleproduction, courtesy of Thornbridge, in time to hitthe shelves of some 60 branches of Waitrose frommid-October. If you consider the fact that it willhave taken years for some commercial brewers togain access to those hallowed aisles, then you mightbegin to understand that this is indeed the stuff ofwhich dreams (and careers) are made.

Perhaps even more impressively, this years’winner, Graham Nelson a 39 year old formersailmaker and father of two from Cheshire, onlytook up home-brewing a year or so ago. His entryin the Strong Bitter category with Vienna IPA, a

5.9% chestnutty, hoppy clean-tasting beer wasdeclared an undisputed winner.

Now it would be fair to say perhaps that thephrase ‘home-brew’ to the uninitiated conjures upbeardy, slightly bonkers and permanently squiffyindividuals whose spare time and room is taken upby buckets, tubing of dubious origin and emptyfizzy drinks bottles. But according to Greg Hughes,owner of online Homebrew shop UK, today home-brewing has never been so big and the dodgybrews of the 1970’s have been replaced byrefined, full-flavoured and extremely drinkableresults from young, determined beer-drinkers,whose obsession with quality, and cleanliness are tobe applauded.

Indeed, the Homebrew market is now worth inexcess of £25m, and growing. Whist cheap andeasy ‘make beer, just add water’ kits are widelyavailable everywhere from chemists to big namehigh street stores, this isn’t proper brewing. Replicaall-grain kits can now be bought for around £250,last a lifetime and are small enough to fit under thekitchen sink!

Home-brew shops are popping up all over theplace, not to mention the multitude already online.Helpful, sage advice can be obtained from onlineforums and in-store, even home-brew clubs whomeet to share technique and sample brews. And it’sno longer a man’s world.

More and more women are trying their hand athome-brews, and quite rightly – after all, brewsterswere the forerunners to the Graham Nelson’s oftoday.

A column by Bitten OxfordWords by Mr Mellors,gamekeeper turned poacherPrompted by the tweets of twolocal characters I want to discusscomplaining in a restaurant, pub,bar or café. In this golden age ofinformation and social networkinghave we lost the ability andcourage to actually complain inperson in the establishment at thetime of a bad meal, poorly madedrink or crap service? The internetseems to indicate that we have lostour collective balls to get into anykind of face to face discussion.

As an ex caterer who workedhis way up from potwash as aspotty innocent teenager toGeneral Manager of quite a poshrestaurant as a bacchanalian thirtysomething, please, please saysomething to us at the time! Eatingout is a social experience and weare human beings capable ofreasoned argument. If you are nothappy with your food or drink thenbe polite, explain what is wrongand if we can we will try toremedy the situation. I’ve prettymuch heard and experienced it allin my time. From the time I wasbrought a six inch bolt that acustomer had found at the bottomof their side salad bowl in a largepalm filled city centre brasserie (ithad fallen off the industrial saladslicer earlier in the day, I comped

their whole bill for two) to the time Iwas kicked in the balls by anelegantly dressed lady because Iwouldn’t comp a whole table offour as one of their steaks wasovercooked (I’d already taken thesteak off the bill, the bartenderlocked the door & called the policeas I rolled around on the floor).

If you have an issue with anitem of food or drink then speak toyour waiter and give them theopportunity to replace it. If theservice is not up to scratch then askto speak to a manager, theygenerally are in their positionbecause of the experience theyhave gained and they should knowthe companies required standards.After all we want you to go awaywell fed having had a pleasantexperience and with the possibilityof coming back again thus helpingto keep us in business.

Here are some points toremember when you have tocomplain; Raise the issue straight away –take a second to collect yourthoughts and explain exactly whatis wrong, this gives the restaurantan opportunity to resolve theproblem with minimum fuss.Be polite but firm and remaincalm –It’s not the waiters fault ifthe kitchen got it wrong so don’ttake it out on them. Anger will onlyinflame the situation. If the waiterisn’t helpful then ask to speak to amanager.Explain how you want thesituation remedied – be specificabout what you want to happennext. Easy if you are alone & wantthe dish replaced because thesteak was overcooked but if there’stwo of you don’t be afraid to askfor your guests food to be keptwarm whilst your food is preparedagain. Any good establishment will

happily do this & quite often cookboth dishes again so that both areperfect second time around. If youhave time constraints such ascinema tickets then state this andask for it to be taken off the billinstead or replaced with a dishthat is quick to cook & the billamended to reflect this.Reduce the tip – had poor service?Then don’t tip or leave less thanyou would normally. Explain this tothe manager too on the way outstating specific instances such aswaiting for drinks, forgotten itemsor food taking ages. We want toknow if someone isn’t doing theirjob properly. If the service is goodbut you object to a Service Chargethen do not be afraid to ask for itto be removed, you are entitled todo so and the restaurant must ifyou ask. The waiter will quite oftenbe grateful for a cash tip instead. Take it to the next level –stillunhappy? Then call the nextmorning and ask for the GeneralManager, Operations Manager orOwners name & email address.Then drop them a line stating whatwas wrong, how it was dealt with &why you are still unhappy. It’s theirbusiness so they’ll want to know &remedy the situation. Then by allmeans write a review, blog, tweetand tell all your friends but onlyafter you’ve given us theopportunity to remedy thesituation. At worse you’ll leave theestablishment having gotten it offyour chest and with some morematerial for your review. If theyare running a professionaloperation and they actually carethey will have had some genuinefeedback on what they could dobetter and probably taken thesubstandard items off the bill.Maybe, even, have given you somefreebies too.

An incredibly versatile and healthy snack that always seems a more impressive eat than the sum of its parts.Dipping the soft, slightly transparent rolls filled full of chewy rice noodles, crunchy veg and fragrant

herbs into the spicy, salty peanut dip is a tasty appetiser and can easily be padded out to a main course ifrequired with some additional crispy spring rolls and steamed BBQ-pork buns (Cha Siu Bao) and a soybean and chinese pickle salad for a full-on Dim Sum feast. And, once you get the hang of the rolling,they’re dead simple to make too – the key thing is just to chop all the ingredients very finely (or use a foodprocessor if you have one). This recipe will yield several large rolls, depending on the size of rice paperyou buy. Circular packs of rice paper sheets are available in any Asian grocer and some largersupermarkets, too.

First of all, you’ll need to prepare your dipping sauce. Take 1/4 cup crunchy peanut butter, and mix itwith 1 tbsp hoi sin, the juice of ½ lime, ½ finely sliced red chilli (or a full chilli if you want it really spicy),and a dash of fish sauce. Mix it well, taste, and adjust the lime juice, fish sauce and hoi sin to taste. You wantthe dip to be fairly thick, but still with a runny consistency. You can always thin it with 1/2 tbsp water if yourpeanut butter is particularly thick.

Secondly, prepare all the filling ingredients. You need to thinly slice 1-2 carrots and 2 spring onions intobatons, and also prepare around 100g cooked rice vermicelli noodles, 1 large handful roasted peanuts, 1large handful coriander, 1 small handful finely chopped mint, and 250g of your ‘main’ ingredient. Usuallythis will be fried tofu, prawns or chicken. In this recipe I have opted for tofu. Simply slice up the block anddeep-fry until browned on all sides (or grill your prawns or chicken until cooked through). Marinate thesepieces in 2 tbsp Gochujang paste (or any other spicy chilli bean paste, or a mixture of 2 cloves crushedgarlic, 1 tbsp crushed ginger and 1 crushed red chilli), 1 tbsp soy sauce, juice of ½ lime, 1 crushed garlicclove and ½ tsp white pepper for about an hour.

Now comes the assembly. Dip one rice paper sheet in some warm water for a few seconds until soft, thenlay flat and, working in a straight line down the middle of the roll, add a layer of noodles, then a layer ofthe tofu (or shrimp or chicken) and a little of its marinating juices, then a few slices of the veg, and asprinkling of the peanuts and herbs. Overlap the bottom of the sheet around the filling and wrap tightly, asyou would a tortilla or sandwich wrap. It might take a couple of attempts to get right but soon you’ll bemaking rolls like a pro. Slice each one in half with a sharp knife and serve alongside the dip.

Duns Tew is one of those dreamlike idyllic typevillages in the Cotswolds.

And it is soon set to take its place firmly on theUK’s culinary map.

Michael Regan and Josh West, two Paris trainedchefs, have now taken over the breathtakinglybeautiful White Horse - the village’s only pub.

When we say it is a beautiful pub, it really is. Allwooden beams inside and more character than awhole season of Midsomer Murders.

It is a quintessential 17th century Englishcoaching inn set on the eastern side of the Cotswoldsin what can only be described as a charmingvillage.

With original flagstone floors, beams and realfires, it has a relaxed and friendly atmospheremaking it the perfect place to enjoy a drink or mealwith friends.

It also has a south-facing terrace, which is abonus, as it’s perfect for relaxing summer days.

The pub has been completely refurbished underthe new owners’ direction and now boasts eightexquisitely decorated rooms for those who might bereading this from the Wiltshire or Berkshire area (oreven Oxford) and fancy a bit of a break.

Meat will be coming from the Meat Joint, nearChipping Norton and veg from North Aston organics.

The chefs are definitely going for it as far asgood food is concerned. They describe it as‘ingredient led cooking that stands ou’ which soundsperfect.

If we were you lot I’d head out there as soon aspossible to join them in their culinary adventurebefore everyone else gets in on the act.

International Panof MysteryTurning up the heat on some familiar and notso familiar ingredients from around the world.

Kala NamakKala Namak is the Hindi name forblack salt. ‘Oh, right, that stuff?’ Ihear you shout. No, me neither. I’vebeen using it for a while now but Iwas completely unaware of thecharms of this brilliant little saltuntil I read about it in a fewrecipes and decided to do a littleresearch. It turns out Kala Namakis a volcanic salt, pink in colourand with a sulphuric taste that’suncannily reminiscent in flavour toa hard-boiled egg dipped inregular salt (so much so Veganscan use it to transform tofu into an‘egg’ sandwich). An eggy salt maynot sound particularly appetising,but when used correctly it addsthe most extraordinary savourynote to dishes, whilst not over-asserting its own flavour, in asimilar vein to anchovies orparmesan cheese in Italiancooking. It’s most common use inIndian cuisine is as a crucialingredient of ‘Chaat Masala’ thespice blend used so extensively in

the ‘Chaat’ dishes of(predominantly) Mumbai. A‘Chaat’ dish covers a whole rangeof snack-like dishes, two of themore common being Pani Puri (acrispy gram-flour shell filled withpuffed rice, spices, onions, coconutchutney, coriander and chillies,dipped in a tamarind-flavourwater and then munched whole)and Bhel Puri – a more elegantand infinitely tastier version of the‘Bombay Mix’ we are familiarwith, but with added vegetables –always tomatoes, onions andcoriander but sometimes alsocooked potato cubes and gratedcarrots – and great lashings(yes,lashings) of piquant tamarindchutneys and wickedly fiery greenchilli sauces. Kits and ingredients tomake either of these ‘Chaat’dishes are available from goodethnic stores and some largersupermarkets. A good source forauthentic recipes iswww.mamtaskitchen.com.

It’sa light-bodied, fresh andeasy drinking wine withdelicate fruity aromas,and an explosion of wildberries, cherries andsweet spices on thepalate. So that’s prettygood then. We wouldsuggest that you serve itslightly chilled and it goes especiallywell with cheeses and cold meats.Anyway, you can grab a bottle for £8,which is a steal in our opinion, fromAsda.

“You talkin’ to me?”A film column with Jamie Hill

War. What is it good for?Well. One thing it’s good for is

bloody good cinema.I’m not talking about those

gung-ho patriotic pieces ofpropaganda that Hollywoodchurns out at every opportunity.

I’m talking more The Thin RedLine than Pearl Harbor. More FullMetal Jacket than U571.

The thought-provoking warfilms that make you think aboutconflict and the very real humandamage it does to its civilians andits participants.

This month, new Brad Pittstarrer The Fury comes out. Andfrom the trailer it looks prettydamn good.

It involves an American tankbattalion in 1945 at the tail endof World War Two and Brad Pitt

looking mean with scars across hisface like he’s just had an encounterwith a really unhappy brillo pad.

The plot involves a five-manSherman tank crew on a deadlymission behind enemy lines. It allsounds very gung-ho withexplosions and stuff but I’m hopingit also has a bit of heart as well.

Anyway, here are my top tenfavourite war films of all time...1. The Longest Day - to this dayno other film has managed toevoke what an absolutely hugeundertaking D-Day was. 2. Saving Private Ryan - For thatbeachhead scene alone this entersthe canon of one of the greatestwar films ever made.3. Apocalypse Now - Coppola’sepic really showed the absolutemadness of war like no other.

4. Three Kings - with a lot to sayabout war and heroism this isdefinitely one of Clooney’s best.5. Black Hawk Down - A non-stoptour de force showing whathappens when the US militarymachine breaks down.6. Platoon - With a score thathaunts you, this is a film thatquestions what side is good.7. The Thin Red Line - the war inthe Pacific reveals real beautyamongst the carnage.8. Full Metal Jacket - Kubrick’smasterpiece shows the changeswar can wrought on a person.9. Downfall - the last moments ofHitler fleshed out showing the truedespair of the Nazi failure.10. Schindler’s List - the one filmthat truly reveals the horrors ofwar and its consequences.

Let battle commence!

The 46 min. version of the newfilmAncient Skies by Wiltshire basedfilm maker Grant Wakefield waspremiered in Winchester ScienceCentre last month.

It is the first large formatproduction ever to explore thehistory and legacy of the Neolithic

civilisation of Europe. Combiningmotion controlled timelapse, CGI,and interviews with some of themost respected archaeologists andastronomers of our generation,Ancient Skies presents a case thatthe Neolithic were highlyintelligent, and devoted enormous

amounts of effort and time to theconstruction of elaborate stonemonuments whose purposes andorientation were intimatelyconnected to celestial cycles, layingthe foundations of modern science.

Review #TheOrder#TheOrder is the latest offering from TS TheatreProductions. The play reveals an apocalyptic futurewhere social media has been harnessed to becomeanything but social.

TS have once again taken over the basement ofThe Victoria in Swindon’s Old Town. More used tolive music than new theatre, it nonetheless served asa great venue. The show ran for two days andplayed to such a packed house that extra seatsneeded to be made available.

Stories about the internet have broken throughto the national media on a number of occasionsrecently. From the ice bucket challenge to JenniferLawrence’s stolen photos and before that the nomakeup selfie, and, does anyone remember Kony2012? It is from that fertile soil that #TheOrder isinspired. The idea is that our emotions are beingmanipulated, that we have become the consumer

and the product, that we’re an unthinking herdcomplying with the groupthink of social media. AllPeter Hynds did when writing this play was to takethese ideas to their most extreme conclusion. Heasks whether the world of hashtags and cat videoscould become something more sinister.

The Order is a social media trend that is causingpeople to violently attack each other. Five peopletake refuge from the chaos in an empty building.Peter Hynds and Sarah Lewis have the sameonstage chemistry that made their last play, Choice,so chilling to watch. They were joined on stage byJane Dale, Ella Thomas and Robert Felstead. Thecharacters stew in their own paranoia and suspicionas the world around them falls apart, until it isrevealed why they have been chosen to live.

While the overall quality of the play wasexcellent, some of the monologues in the first halffelt like they put too much emphasis on telling thestory. That said, as the play approaches its shockingfinale it’s like riding a tidal wave of emotion. It mayeven make you think twice next time you log on toFacebook. The next stop for the play is the LittleBlack Box theatre in Bristol.

Tell us a bit about yourself.Basic guy, 37. Try my hardest. Amazingly, I am aprofessional poet. Very surprised by that. Beenplugging away for about twelve years and happywith it all now. Enjoy doing my show. Luckily get todo some interesting things in other peoples shows.Carry a notepad. Recently acquired Sky Sports.In your own words, summarise your latest show.Mm. I guess it’s quite a sneaky show. It’s a bittheatrical – as in, I have a large prop and there’s asoundtrack. But it still counts as comedy. I havewritten some jokes, which I have secreted into thescript. But at the forefront there are other things:poetry, a denim onesie, anecdotes about encounterswith Hollywood filmstars and some stuff about toothfairies. 75 minutes long.How did you come to collaborate withPunchdrunk and what can we expect?I think that would be telling. But I’ll tell you a bit. Idid collaborate with someone called Sarah whowas from Punchdrunk. I was lucky enough to go andwatch their show – The Drowned Man – Jesus, thatis a good show. Then I got to meet some people.They had some skills I wanted to use. They werevery generous. My show’s nothing like Punchdrunkthough - but there’s maybe a gram of stuff that’sbeen sprinkled onto it.If you could describe yourself in a haiku, howwould it go?An unwitting poet-guy,A denim onesie,Amazed I earn anything.What do enjoy most about touring?The shows. I don’t like the achingly lonely hotelrooms or the traveling, weirdly. The shows, I love.

What/who are your greatest influences andinspirations?Mm. Difficult to know who’s influenced you and howyou just like. But I’ll throw some names in there. Ilove Hancock, Coogan, Morris, Fry, Laurie, Seinfeld,David and Aherne. My more poncy selection wouldbe Gogol, Kharms and Harold Lloyd.When you’re not touring, what do you like to doin your downtime?I like to run but currently my back is a mess so I domore walking and sitting. I like to watch films andwrite divvy poems. Amazingly I get paid for thatlast one, but I genuinely enjoy doing it: lucky boy. I

Tim Key has firmly established himself as oneof the most dynamic, exciting, and innovative live comedy performers in the industry.Away from his solo stage work, Key has had roles in films Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa,One Day and Richard Ayoade’s The Double.

also like playing five-aside football and havingbaths.You’ve worked with the likes of Alan Partridge(Mid-Morning Matters, Alan Partridge: AlphaPapa) and Anne Hathaway (One Day). Howwould you compare and contrast the twoexperiences?! Hathaway was briefer but she was a very, verycharming lady. Our scene took approximately fortyminutes. Coogan’s stuff is a little more intense.There’s more pressure on me. I feel like I could bringdown the Empire if I fuck it up. But obviously itmeans more to get that gig. It’s literally a childhood(teenage) dream come true.If you weren’t in this industry, where do youthink you’d be?It sounds strange, but I genuinely think I’d be livingin Kiev.What’s next after the tour?Write my radio show (Tim Key’s Late Night PoetryShow) and then gear up to Christmas.

The 100th edition of The Ocelot

By Jamie Hill - The EditorThe question that we’re always asked is ‘why is themagazine called The Ocelot?’.

And as we celebrate our 100th edition we shouldadmit that we don’t have a bloody clue. It justsounded good. We wanted a name that would sumup our irrelevance to life. The idea that we were notgoing to take things too seriously and just be a damngood free read of an entertainment magazine forthe people of Ocelotshire.

There have been times when we have regrettedthe name over the years. It is certainly attention-grabbing when you call people and say you're fromThe Ocelot. And the amount of people whomispronounce or mispell the name is astounding.We’ve Okalot, Occolot and even an Okapi (whichcome to think of it is an even better name!)

Just count yourself lucky. At one point it was goingto be called The Pangolin.

But in our hearts we love the name The Ocelot.So we’ve now done 100 editions and it’s been a

pretty hard slog.The recession was the hardest thing to survive. In

those heady days of 2007 and 2008 we were justfinding our feet. Our main advertisers were pubs andwe were doing really well. Then the recession hit andpubs started closing all over the shop.

To survive we had to adapt. Really adapt. Weexpanded our operations in 2009 to includeOxfordshire and then in 2011 we expanded againto include Berkshire.

Both of these moves paid off as we now sit on agood customer base including regional theatres, music

venues, breweries and councils.Yep. You guessed it. We’re solely paid for by

advertising revenue so when customers startregarding advertising as a luxury and not a necessity,it hurts. It really does.

Let me just say for any business, advertising is anecessity. We firmly believe that. How do peopleknow you are there if you don’t shout about it?

Sometimes we get the opposite extreme whereadvertisers expect miracles from their ad with flocksof people coming to their place of business havingseen it in The Ocelot. It doesn’t work that way. It’sabout putting your name out there. And The Ocelot isa damn good place to do that.

But we’ve had a lot of fun over the years. I meana lot of fun. The magazine is always fun to write. Weare our own most loyal readers and we’re very proudof what we’ve achieved.

There’s also been the countless gigs and comedynights that we’ve organised. Always a chance to meetthe readers and so they can see that we are just asexcited about the magazine as we are in the office.

We’ve sometimes got things wrong. I remember inthe early days we printed a Devil Balloon cartoon byartists Hungry Monkeys that caused a hell of a furorefor months afterwards. We’ve also been one to pokefun at politics on occasion whether that’s Tory, Labouror Liberal Democrats. The only people who have evernot got the joke are UKIP and the BNP who weanswered by correcting their spelling mistakes.

But the last 100 editions have been a joy and Ihope they will be for many years to come. I can’tthank all you loyal readers and customers enough!

Billy Lockett is fast establishing himself as one ofmusic’s best-kept secrets. A singer-songwriter ofprodigious talent hailing from Northampton, hisbrand new EP ‘Old Man’ was released inSeptember, ahead of his third headline tour of theUK, and demonstrates why Radio 1 have been suchkeen supporters to date.

He will be coming to Oxford’s Art Bar onCowley Road on October 16.

The lead track of the EP ‘Old Man’ is ayearning, heartfelt number inspired by Billy’sfather, a massive influence on the young singer whosadly passed away this year. Billy was raisedsolely by his father from the age of eight, acolourful character who was a bohemian artistexposing Billy to incredible experiences. ‘Old Man’serves as a poignant reminiscence of the man whoformed Billy into the artist he is today.

Second track, ‘Never Let You Go’ is a beautifullove song, bursting with hooks and a massivechorus. The third and final track ‘Toxic’ showcasesa new side to Billy’s sound, pushing in a moreexperimental, electronic direction, while stillmaintaining the fundamentals of his sound.

Displaying real meaning and depth, Billy’ssongwriting sees him convey his stories with asincere, soulful voice, paralleled with hisremarkable skill on both guitar and piano. Theseattributes have gained him a substantial, loyal fanbase and airplay from the likes of Fearne Cotton,Greg James, Dev, Scott Mills, Huw Stephens andGemma Cairney at Radio 1 who have championedhis previous releases, play listing singles ‘Balance’and ‘Pathways’.

The talented multi-instrumentalist’s release isproduced by Andy Green (Keane, Paolo Nutini, KTTunstall and Scouting for Girls) and set to createserious excitement throughout his rapidlyexpanding fanbase and the wider music industry.Since hitting the road as a travelling troubadour

playing support slots wherever he could, Billy hasnow completed two sold-out UK headline tours,ramming venues such as The Borderline in London.On top of that he has found himself as support forartists such as KT Tunstall, Nina Nesbitt and LanaDel Rey. Most recently Billy was asked to join Birdyas main support on her UK and European tour – allof which has grown Billy’s fan base considerably.

This is New MusicwithMarkMuggeridge

This is Tru Thoughts

This is Like Swimming

This is Kelvin Jones

I think that this is the first time in the six-yearhistory of This Is New Music that I’vecovered the release of a compilationalbum, but the respect that I hold forBrighton based label Tru Thoughts justifiesmy doing so now I think. Launched in 1999by RobertLuis and co-owner Paul Jonas, TruThoughts quickly carved out a niche amongdiscerning fans, winning Gilles Peterson’sWorldwide Award for Best Label in theearly years. To celebrate their 15thanniversary Tru Thoughts are releasing a two CD set which featuresmusic from the past, present and future of this thriving label’s eclecticcatalogue. This celebration of independent artistic talent encompassesthe early leftfield electronica of Bonobo and Quantic’s trailblazing worldexplorations, Alice Russell’s powerhouse soul and UK dons like Rodney Pand Zed Bias, through to the stars of tomorrow, with Harleighblu’s vocalprowess. For hard core collectors there is also a vinyl box set that has toomany features to list here but will fast become a treasured collectorsedition. Tru Thoughts is one of the world’s independent label treasures;not bad for an organisation started in an office under Robert Luis’sstaircase. If you love great music, this compilation is a must have. (tru-thoughts.co.uk)

Formed almost two years agofrom the ashes of a five-piececalled You Say France & IWhistle, Like Swimming tooktook their name from anobscure Van Morrison demo.They are another indie labelsuccess story, signed toforward thinking Nashvillelabel Digsin. Digsin is about10 years ahead of the rest ofthe music business having abandoned traditional sales and who givetheir music to fans who sign up to a mailing list. This means that youcan enjoy this scandi pop track for free! Helping us to enjoy thesound of summer just a little bit longer Like Swimming’s music remindsus of all the stuff we've loved in the past about bands like Noah &The Whale and Of Monsters & Men. Lead single from their album,Structures is the track, A Room of Her Own. It’s vocals feature boygirl vocal interplay, snappy synth lines and production that is Ah Hameets Razorlight. By the time next years summer festivals comearound I bet you’ll be listing Like Swimming as a band you just haveto see. (likeswimmingmusic.com)

How’s this for a feel goodstory...A 19 year old guy fromStevenage uploads a song toYouTube, a bunch of Redditorsdiscover it and decide they loveit sending it to the top ofReddit’s music chart. Next thingyou know Good MorningAmerica is playing the track andthings get crazy as KelvinJones’s, Call You Home notchesup 1.2 million views on YouTube.When Kelvin told his mum thathis music had gone viral, thepoor woman asked her son if heneeded penicillin! On a seriousnote however Kelvin’s break outtrack is testament to how agreat song will win out everytime. This singer-songwriter onlystarted making music 4 yearsago having discovered JohnMayer. He also cites artists likeBB King, Tracey Chapman asinfluences along with popinfluences such as Bruno Marsand Ed Sheeran. It’s clearlysuper early days for Kelvin butwith such strong songwriting I’mbetting that we’ll be hearing alot more from him and soon.(kelvinjonesmusic.com)

I need to start this month’s column with a combined apology and rant. Firstly, the apology; once again Iam reviewing a Wiltshire based show. I do appear to have been neglecting the other parts ofOcelotshire of late, and for that I am sorry. However, this brings me on to my issue and the reason Ihave been sticking close to home lately. This column is published in an entertainment magazine thatgets seen by tens of thousands of people, and yet in the past few months there has been a distinct lackof promoters and bands contacting me to review their shows. What’s more, there has also been adearth in submissions of music to me to review. Now, surely one of the points in creating music andplaying and promoting live music is to be heard and seen by people? But, if they don’t know what youare up to, and what it is like, how can you expect them to want to listen or come watch your next show? Ipromise you, it really isn’t complicated to get me to review a show or record. All you do is email me [email protected] with details and I will do the rest and get my thoughts on your music or your showout to thousands of people. Go on, live dangerously and promote what you are doing! Who knows, itmay actually work….. Anyway, onto business. Case Hardin, The Shudders & Tamsin Quin @ The VictoriaSongs of Praise is a regular night at The Victoria inSwindon that is forging something of a reputation foritself as a bit of a tastemaker and champion of newmusic in the town. The nights do not focus on anyparticular genre, just following a formula ofcarefully curating the best original music from thelocal area with the best of whatever else comes theirway from out of town and seem to have hit that pointwhere people come for the night, ready to check outwhatever is on offer even if they have not heard itbefore.

Opening the night was Wiltshire based acousticfolk-pop troubadour Tamsin Quinn. Her brand ofsoulful, bluesy folk-pop was an instant hit, as was herwitty, cheeky banter in-between songs, banter thateven rose to gentle baiting of grizzled CaseHarding guitarist Jim, who was left red faced andshuffling his feet. Simple yet brilliant, catch her assoon as you can.

After the Shudders last show closing the SwindonShuffle The Beehive had to shut down to re-furbishfor a fortnight...coincidence? Well yes, but you knowwhat I'm saying. Tonight, they picked up where theyhad left off with a set of melodic, poppy indie rockblended with rootsy Americana and dusty folk thatpounded along at breakneck speeds. Cracking stuffthat once again affirmed The Shudders as one of thebest and most interesting bands in the area.

Headliners Case Hardin have steadily beengrowing a following in town, so were given a warmwelcome from the full room. Normally specialising in

chilled Americana that channels Steve Earl, RyanAdams and the sparse musical hinterland ofSpringsteen's Nebraska, tonight, back down to aprecision four piece they ramped it up somewhat,blitzing through the more upbeat rocking tunes intheir back catalogue until hitting a fantastic and funinterlude where they jumped off the stage, joiningthe crowd with acoustic instruments, inviting somecrowd participation that didn’t bring down theatmosphere at all, rather ramped it up even more,into a hell of a finale that resulted in an encore of“The Ring” that had the room transfixed and bayingfor more. Sterling stuff once again from a band Ihave yet to see put a foot wrong.

If interesting, now and original music is yourthing, you really ought to do yourself a favour andcheck out what goes on at Songs of Praise eachmonth as the nights seem to be going from strengthto strength, attracting good crowds regardless ofwhat music is on offer.

Gig Monkeys lovely bigJukeboxLeader – HonestMan (EP)Slick and polished indiepop-rock from Witney ladsformerly known as MillionFaces. This is some precisionstuff, well crafted,developed, played andproduced. Full of plenty of hummable melodies thatwill have audiences bouncing and toe-tapping alonghappily, it really comes across as tailor-made forarenas and big festivals like V. So if bands that playgrubby venues and DIY festivals is more your bagthen move along, if you like commercial, refinedpoppy stuff (and I mean that to be a good thing)then this is spot on.Luke De-Sciscio – Rust (LP)Channelling the ghost ofJeff Buckley moreauthentically than anyone Ihave heard Luke takes amassive stride forwardswith his music on thisrelease. Combining theSpartan elegance, vocalathleticism and emotion ofrecent solo excursions withthe driven, upbeat melodic indie of his Doll Ratsdays to amazing effect, this is a record that sends ashiver down your spine on every listen. The key toeverything lies with the vocals, Luke’s voice gentlycoaxing the poetic and deep lyrics to life, makingthem dance round with an energy of their own,soaring and darting around like a Swift’s aerialacrobatics in the evening sky. Simply stunning stuff,this record really deserves to be heard by as manypeople as possible.

Port Erin – Floating Above The City (LP)Record of the month!For a band so young Port Erin areveritable veterans, and it shows inthis, their third full length album. Afantastically complete work, theproduction is tight and judged perfectly, slick enoughto impress, raw enough to sound real. The band’susual Jazzed up influences are present here, but aretempered by a more pragmatic approach to songwriting, more linear and immediate than before andwith a greater focus on riffs and melody, althoughthe underpinning bass and drums are still funky ashell and the sort of thing that will get you movingwhether you want to or not. Straddling so manygenres, you can’t pigeonhole this, it is beautifullyunpredictable, veering schizophrenically from acid-jazz to fuzz-pop, via dalliances with Pulp-esquetheatrical indie and searing psychedelic rock. Anyband than can come up with a song titled “JustRiding my Bike, Man!” deserves to be applauded,just before being committed for observation.Winston & Goldstein – In the Eyes of the Other (LP)Not my usual bag this, but my wordit is an impressive thing! Partsoundscape, part ambient darkwavemusic this is a recording that burrowsinto your soul and proceeds to grab handfuls ofthoughts, emotions and memories and pull on themlike a puppet master, taking you on surging,emotional journeys round a strange subconsciousworld. At times I felt like I was dreaming, at othertimes I wanted to scream. Very much a cousin toBoards of Canada or maybe a laid back CrystalCastles, if that is your bag then you will love this.

It was 20 years ago today...In the early Autumn of 1994, in the days beforeinternet or mobile phones, I arrived in Oxford fromLondon seeking refuge on a boat down in Jericho. I’dbeen in an almost-famous touring band, and wantedsome peace and quiet among the reeds and swans.I had been initially attracted to spend some timehere by Oxford's reputation as a musical city, butwhen I arrived, I just couldn't find any scene that Icould creatively call home. I love rock n roll, me, but Ialso like a gentler, more focused kind of music, oneunaccompanied by what passes for culturalacceptance in England: the perfume of bleach’n’vomitor having to endure the roar of apes shouting overeach other at the bar.So, after three weeks of trawling around the pubs,and still inspired by the inspiring unplugged scene I'dleft behind, I decided to take a small room somewhereand see if I couldn't maybe carry a little of that flameinto my new life. Amazingly, looking back now, therewas not a single open mic night in Oxford at that time!So, I booked the snug (as was) of the Victoria Armsin Jericho, stuck up a few posters around town, (withessential oils mixed in to the paste to magic up thevibes on a subliminal level!), and waited to see whatmight happen. And on that first Tuesday night inOctober, some strangers shuffled in off the street,taking turns to offer a poem, a song or whatever elseit was that they had with them, while everybody elsejust listened. Simple really.That first night glowed with goodness.Everybody came back the following week, andsome even brought a friend. This pattern carried onfor a couple of months until, very quickly, it got toocrowded down there (max capacity was around 30!).And so we moved upstairs to the larger room. We have been on the move ever since: a verymemorable two-year stint at Jude The Obscure inWalton Street, a 7-year residency at the former LGBTcentre on St Michael's Street: Northgate Hall. There then followed a year of nomadic wanderingin which we found ourselves camping variously at TheWheatsheaf, The Jam Factory and Po Na Na's.

Our home for the past ten years has been in thebar of East Oxford Community Centre. This feelsabout right – being in the heart of things, the truecentre of Oxford. But who knows, maybe we’ll be onthe move again some day…And then, of course, there’s been all the players:the singers, the songsmiths, the mystics, the weavers, themagicians, the dreamers, the heart-breakers and -brokers and the countless moonlit minstrels. The Catweazle Club averages around 15-20different acts every week, every month, every year.For twenty years. My maths isn’t as good as yours, butI reckon that takes the numbers of individualperformances to well over 15,000. It is based on thesimple philosophy that EVERYBODY has somethingworth sharing, and the very least the rest of us can dois to shut up and listen and give that person the spaceto do their thing, even if it’s only for five minutes.If it’s excruciating for one person to listen to, itmight well be the very thing that lights someone else’sfuse! And it has been my unequivocal experience overall these years that it is in this very listening, thisattentiveness, this genius of generosity, in which themagic can, and very often does, take place. After all,let’s remember: Audience (n.) they who listen. And this simple philosophy clearly has someuniversal appeal: people passing through over theyears have been so moved that they have wanted tostart a Catweazle Club in their own home towns.We have also branched out over the past coupleof years into publishing a quarterly magazine, TheCatweazle, to feature other artforms that don’ttranslate so well on to the stage: photographs,paintings, recipes, etc.It has been an immeasurably great privilege forme to witness so much talent, depth, humour, wonderand vulnerability over the past 20 years: it is thedynamo loop that keeps me excited and inspired tostill turn up myself each week, and to also try andgive of my best.So thank you, Catweazle (and that means all ofyou who make it what it is by simply being there), andHappy 20th Birthday!

Two decades of Catweazle!

Twenty years ago The Catweazle Club, a cabaret open mic night without a mic, wasfirst founded. On Saturday November 1 it will be holding a 20th birthday party atHolywell Music Room in Oxford. Tickets are £10 in advance or £12 on the door. Inhis own words founder Matt Sage tells us how it came about.

There’s a couple of amazing acts that you can catchat the O2 Academy Oxford this month.Nick Mulvey - Sunday October 12Following the release of his amazing top 10 debutalbum 'First Mind', Mercury Music Prize 2014nominee Nick Mulvey will hit Oxford as part of hisUK tour this month.

The Summer of 2014 has remained as everfruitful for Nick Mulvey as this his breakthroughyear has already been for him, and he returns toarguably the song that broke him, his mostinfectious and most ‘pop’ moment to date, Cucurucu.

Having filled the tents to bursting point, andcommanded huge audiences to festival crowdsthroughout the Summer, from Glastonbury’sPyramid stage to Blissfields, and with shows atGreen Man and Bestival, Nick Mulvey’s autumnpromises much more from what has already been ahugely eventful first eight months.

Cucurucu is immediate in the sense that themelody lingers, and the beat, typically of Nick’smusic, shuffles infectiously. The lyrics borrow, inpart, from DH Lawrence’s poem, ‘The Piano’. It isone of the defining moments from his criticallyacclaimed Top 10 album, First Mind.

Rixton - Wednesay October 2Manchester four-piece Rixton have shot straightinto the UK singles chart at Number One with theirdebut single ‘Me & My Broken Heart’. A huge radiosmash across the country, the single beat off stiffcompetition from Ariana Grande, will.i.am andNicole Sherzinger to claim the number one spot,with video views now topping a whopping 14million!

Rixton have just flown to the United States fortheir first US headline tour.a

Their 13 date UK tour that takes in Oxford. Itwill be an event not to be missed as their brilliantperformance recently at Bush Hall proved.

Seven-year-old Agony Girl is already lookingforward to Christmas but she still has time to helpwith your problems. We read her the questions andthese are her answers. Honest!

Next month’s issue..

Agony GirlEverybody’s favourite advice columnist!

DEAR ANNABELI’m a bit gutted. I wanted to breakup with someone but I thought itwould be best if we asked all ofmy people whether it would bealright but fifty five per cent ofthem said ‘no’. So now I’m stuckwith them. And I hate England!What can I do?ScotlandWhy don’t you just do it and notcare what people think. Dump theperson you want and get someoneelse to be with you who will treatyou better. Give them flowers,chocolate and breakfast in bed.DEAR ANNABELI’m really scared of spiders.They’re up to something I swearand this summer they seem to havebeen getting bigger and bigger.

Are they secretly planning to takeover the world? And if not howcan I get rid of my fear?Stacey, NewburyTARANTULAS! Don’t think of them.Think of fluffy bunny rabbitsinstead. It will stop you beingscared and if you hold a spiderand they don’t bite you then youwon’t be scared of them anymoreas you know they won’t hurt. I’veheld a snake, a parrot and an owl.The owl was very heavy.DEAR ANNABELWhat’s the best way to cook areally good cupcake? I’ve got afew people coming over tomorrowand I want to really impress them.Stig, PewseyA massive muffin. I don’t know.Make a machine that does them.

Make it out of metal and electricexpecially with lots of wires.DEAR ANNABELIt’s Hallowe’en this month and Idon’t know what to dress as. Whatshould I dress as to go trick ortreating? I’m 48 by the way.Carol, OxfordJack. You could go as Jack theskeleton. People think he’s evil inAmerica but he’s not. He’s fromNightmare Before Christmas.That’s a good costume. You’d haveto buy a mask and then a big suitbecause he wears a suit and keepa picture in front of you so thatyou know what he looks like. Oryou could go as a fridge.Send your questions to [email protected]
