Today I heard the sad news that Oliver Postgate died. Together with his partner Peter Firmin, Postgate was responsible for a lot of animation and puppet shows for UK television in the 1960s and 70s. His work was aimed at the 3 to 7 age-group.

My favourites were his con-people The Clangers, little hand-knitted aliens who lived in burrows on a rocky planet and were voiced by swanee-whistles.

If you're in the mood for some whimsical, quaintly low-budget, kids' TV, here's a ten-minute episode on YouTube:

Enjoy!

Cute, it's flapping its meat. But... Why is it doing that?

It fits neither the definition of "spelling" nor "reform".

On the subject of odd links, I have never read anything so very sad in so very many ways:

Meet Matt Furey, purveyor of perhaps one of the funniest martial arts products ever conceived. "While talking to my friend, Jon, about the war our country appears headed into with Iraq, we jokingly brought up how great it would be if U.S. President George W. Bush had a no-holds-barred fight with Iraqi President Saddam Hussein." And thus "Bush vs. Saddam: The Brutal Battle" was born...

You might think the question of what watches Obama wears isn't that important in the greater scheme of things. And you'd probably be right. But still... he does wear watches.

The Gauss pistol.
