From Lindybeige. Q54: What is the most awful psychological trickery I can imagine being used on me? I’m being careful with my language here, just in case.

From Lindybeige. Q53: To be sung to is to be tested. We know that all eyes will be on us, and this is possibly the ultimate challenge of reaction. Can we walk the tightrope, getting just the right amounts of appreciation, self-deprecation, good humour, and endurance? Most British people would prefer not to be tested…

From Lindybeige. Question 51 from the Book of Questions: what are your long-term goals, and how are you going about achieving them? This one includes my first ever go at CSO (green-screening) using DaVinci Resolve, and though I managed it, I have to say that I was not greatly impressed by the ease with which…

From Lindybeige. Q50 from the Book of Questions. This one gets a bit morbid. You probably won’t be interested, but it took me over week to get from installing DaVinci Resolve to uploading this, my first video edited using it. I really hate computers in so many ways. For example, it took me nearly four…

From Lindybeige. A fifth of the world lives in chronic pain. You may think that you feel pain according to how injured you are. If so, you are wrong. You may feel that emotional and physical pain are two totally different things. If so, you are wrong. You may feel that modern medicine can control…

From Lindybeige. The Atlantic is very wide and has a huge tidal range, meaning that a great mass of water rises there twice a day. The Mediterranean is by comparison very small, with very little tidal range. The two are connected by the narrow Strait of Gibraltar. One might imagine that the deluge of water…

From Lindybeige. Many thanks to the kind folk of Conquest – the re-enactment society – who invited me down to join them at the annual Battle of Evesham bash. Alas, my main camera and all the footage on it were stolen on the way home, but here is something salvaged from the wreck: an interview…
