Lost Movies from the Big Z

Hapless hitman Percy Nuttle (played by Henry Rome) before his fateful encounter with serial pet shop owner Madge Miggins (Ethel White) on the 6.30 train to Penge. Due to be released in 1939 the entire film stock of Kiss the Blood Off My Hamster was lost during the Blitz. Only a few tantalising stills and a postcard are all that survive.



Now completely forgotten by the British public, Rome and White were once the biggest celebrities of their day. They worked on many British movies together, including the legendary The Shadow of Siam.

Mayor of Cologne issues new guidelines!


In response to the ‘issues’ that arose during New Year’s eve, Henriette Reker has issued new guidelines for women and girls:
  • Keep all men at arm's length
  • Do not make eye contact with men when out in public
  • Do not go out in public unless accompanied by a man who is a relative
  • Dress modestly at all times
  • Do not expose one’s bare flesh of the arms, legs, ankles, neck, waist or other areas that may inflame the passions of men
  • Do not communicate with strangers as this may inflame the passions of men
  • When reporting incidents of verbal aggression, molestation and rape do not refer to men as being of ‘Arabic’ or ‘North African’ origin as this may inflame the passions of men   
The Mayor thanked Angela Merkel, the city police, the German state media and Saudi Arabia for their help in drawing up these guidelines.
