Some may recall a few blogs back that no matter what DVD I picked up and put on, invariably David Warner crops up in it.
Well, I thought I'd broken that spell, for he didn't make an appearance in War of the Worlds 2, but as soon as I pops in my new Wild Palms DVD... Up comes the titles, then Starring... The Warner!
So I immediately ejected it.
Can I not escape this man? Is there some mystical link that Ye Goddes have forged, so that no matter what I purchase, he will be there somewhere.
Is it any coincidence I am plagued by the stamp thievery of Gnome - perhaps his impossibly prolific guest star perfomances are the work of nefarious gnomes that take his man shape to make multiple films at the same time, then revert to their natural physique and springing out at argentinian builders whilst ensuring that when selecting a DVD, they quietly whisper in my ear to encourage me to buy one with him in it?
Who can say?
Robbie Williams and that Reg Presley, no doubt (but not Gwen). As these gnomes are cryptozoological anomalys, they fall into the realms of Forteana, such as Space Monsters and Crap Circles.
Being in showbiz, both Robbie and Reg must come across David Warner (not in some spurty gaylove event, but in an entertainment aquaintance sense. I bet if you look at a few Album credits, David Warner will be credited somewhere. Or him and his simbling, under their Production Company Warner Bros that they founded to get him onto as much tellyshows as possible.) More so, because Robbie is obsessed with UFOs (as he was often heard to shout at Gary Barlow, "Oi! You, Fuck Off", or u.fo in txtspeak).
Also because Reg is even more obsessed with Crap Circles. In fact, he seems to like all mystery, for not only did he named himself after a bloke who has a statue on Mars and lives on the moon with Lord Lucan in a bus, he called his band The Troggs... which is short for Trogolodytes, which he believes to be Wild Things living in Thetford Forest (although that turned out to be a load of crusties at a Levellers gig.)
Anyhoo, crap circle makers hide out in the open - The Levellers get away with it, even though their choice of name shows quite plainly that they are levellers... of crops in circulatory fashions, which in turn leads to dedicated followers of fashion, who are apparently quite kinky, creating these circles in a frenzy of rampant jiggery pokery, whilst other jig in a frenzy of ram poking...
Or something.
