How good is The Social Network? Well, it’s only my opinion, but it’s very good indeed.

It’s a post-apocalyptic tale and we therefore is not all sweetness and light. The group choosing went for it in the end because it seems like…Continue readingThe Road

To celebrate, there’ll be an evening of entertainment set up for you on Saturday night in Dunbar at the Church Hall. I don’t have a flier, so I’m going to be sketchy for now. Pencil it in your diaries, though. I hear it was a toss…Continue readingMade in Dagenham
