He’s got at least two lampposts he nicked from the Overlook set build in borehamwood, good friends with SK who was also a massive tea leaf himself! Nicked all sorts them two. Too many tales to tell, but I think Lou is thinking about a book. Or he was last summer anyway! Big QPR fan, and I’m spurs so we chat about football a lot.maxlevel wrote:Not halloween but I watched Shadow of the Vampire at the weekend on bbc2.
