Don't fuck with "The Cartoonist!"
I have been trading emails with my good mate Ralf Zeigermann. He of The Cartoonist fame. Which is one of the world's all time fucking awesome blogs for anyone interested in cool, retro, antiquo, moderno, or whatever happens to be the fucking flavor du jour visuals. Ralf finds stuff no one else can. He also throws in his own sketches, which are not only good, but fucking acid... Which as you all know, is what I truly appreciate. He also rediscovers old books. Check out his post of March 6th about an old Penguin classic... "The London Nobody Knows." Which I used to have, 'till some shithead stole it... Wankers... Ralf says it's now available on DVD... But not in US format. Does that mean I have to move back to the UK just to watch a video narrated by James Mason? Fuck, wouldn't you kill to have a voice like James Mason? And if any AdScam readers don't know who James Mason is... Get the fuck off this site immediately, and never come back!!!
.
Just a taster of what Ralf has on offer daily!
Many thanks, dear Sir! By the way, the whole DVD is already on YouTube. Unbelievable.

Looks like Nostrodamus accosting Lilly Langtry.
North by Northwest. Mason is the best villian ever!

james mason and roger moore jogged past my house in ireland once when i was kid.
and peter o'toole once knocked on my door canvassing votes for the local labour candidate.
we almost had to put up a sign... "No famous brits please!"

Saw Peter O'toole in a pub once with Richard Burton. They were both completely arseholed!

You crotchety old fuck. There's 2 real easy ways to watch a UK coded DVD:
1: go to the nearest Chinatown type area and buy a $50 "all region" DVD player.
2: Download some free software (Mac) called "Handbrake" or "Mac the Ripper." Either of those programs should have no problem converting the DVD to mp4.
The all region player would be my recommendation. Though even the mp4 option will beat watching something on YouTube.
