Fright night!

Saturday night saw our home transformed into a house of horror. It was decorated with Pumpkins and balloons. Horrific shrunken heads, red eyed vampires,spiders webs hung from the ceiling and thousands of gothic looking candles flickering! No it wasn't Alex's latest attempt at interior design but Yas and Saff's legendary annual Halloween party. Every year the girls invite their friends to be severely traumatised by all the spooky fun. As responsible adults we try to ensure that all the children are given lots of food, loads of hyper activity inducing sweets and candy. We then try to scare the living daylights out of them. Once we are satisfied that their sleep will be disrupted by vivid nightmares, for at least a week, we release them. Great fun!

Money for old rope

I have just finished filming an advert for this magnificent hotel. I had to sit around, drink cappuchinos, eat good food and generally enjoy the Hotels facilities whilst being filmed. The hotel was packed with loads of old people-one chap called it Gods waiting room! I never seen so many Zimmer frames in one place! I was really enjoying this job until someone pointed out that I had been selected for the advert because the target customers could identify with me. Again my fragile self esteem has taken a nosedive!

Chrysler sent to Coventry!

The Chrysler has now found a new home in Coventry. She was purchased by two wonderful Chinese men..Min and Tommy. They have a restaurant called The Golden Parlour and if your passing through Coventry just mention my name and my Chinese chums will look after you. Good luck Min and Tommy!

Clinic?

Well what do you think of our refurbished bathroom? The blue LED lights add a rather dramatic ambience. Swiss mental clinic? I dont know - I never been in one. Ive never been inside a Cyprus brothel either but thats a whole different subject...eh Cons? Anyway I think it looks like a scene from Hostel or Saw but somehow I like it!

Visually stunning!

Have just finished 3 days work as a peasant market trader on The Duchess.....and I'm NOT going to tell you anything about it!
The security on the film was very strict- No mobiles/cameras etc. On Monday The Sun printed a picture of Kiera Knightly, taken during filming. This caused a high state of paranoia amongst the cast and crew with the extras (rather unfairly) regarded as the main suspects. However I can tell from the angle and clarity of the picture, that it was taken with a tele-photo lens from an area behind the set. This area was divided from the action by a red and white tape and behind it stood members of the public, merrily clicking away on their cameras! ( call me Lieutenant Columbo!)
Obviously the producers dont want any information about this film to be leaked, so I'm going to respect their wishes. I have taken this decision not based on any moral grounds but selfishly to enhance my future employment prospects! I will say however that the set was visually stunning and Kiera Knightly was well...visually stunning!

Technophobic part two

Ok now I am getting really brave. I am attempting to post a picture by email via my mobile phone. If you can see a picture of my Volvo I am DEFINATELY a technological whizzkid. Imagine if this works-I can post photos from anywhere WHILST on the move. The possibilties are ENDLESS! If you cant see a picture then I am DEFINATELY a silly old prat!

Technophobic

I was born in 1962 long before laptops,tv remote controls & microwaves were every day items. I am therefore a confirmed technophobe. I am attempting to post this blog by email VIA my mobile phone. WOW! If you can read this then it proves that despite my age I am a technological whizzkid. One small step for mankind one giant leap for Glen Peacock! If you cant read this-it proves Im just a stupid old prat!

Revolting peasant

Well today was wierd....I left poor Alex alone to finish painting our newly refurbished bathroom - it looks like a cross between an abbatior and a swiss mental institute (more on this at a later date)and drove to London in the Volvo. It drove like a dream but unfortunately got all dirty in the torrential rain(arghhh!). Anyway I made my way to the old naval college in Greenwhich, where a big marquee had been erected in the grounds. Once inside this huge tent, a gay man, several lesbians and assorted wierdos made me take all my clothes off..........and dress like an 18th century peasant! OK prehaps I should explain. One of my other jobs is working in the film & T.V industry as a supporting artiste/extra. My London agency,maddog casting, decided to put me forward for a part as an 18th century market stallholder, in a film called The Duchess.The fact that my agent thinks I look like a revolting peasant doesnt do wonders for my self esteem but I should get 3 days work. The film stars Kiera Knightly and Ralph Fiennes and and the scene Im doing starts shooting Sunday. I must admit when the costume dept (who where very nice actually) had finished with me, I did look authentic (better than the halfwit in the picture!). Although its strictly against the rules I will try to post a piccy when I do the film.

spit and polish

In a mad moment of being sensible I bought an Volvo xc70. I had intended to update my Chrysler Voyager ever since it broke down and left us all stranded by a french motorway. So taking the bull by the horns I bought the Volvo from Johnny Goulding at trade price. I work as a part-time used car salesman for John-one of my many jobs. Anyway I now need to sell the Chrysler to help pay for the Volvo- so is anyone interested? I spent all day polishing & pampering her & now shes been advertised on Autotrader. Lets hope I find a good home for her!
