A good excuse as any to create and share a collage of photos shamelessly nicked from the internet.

If anyone is interested, I have also transcribed The Bath Banker fanzine (best I could) here. I created some very nice images (even if I say so myself) and popped the text below the post.

Sample of one of the very nice images below...

Yes I retained all the errors...

Happy Birthday Russell! It would be nice to hear from him, he'd be great on Twitter. Another book/bit of writing would also be very welcome, wasn't he going to work on a historical novel(?) after his memoir?

Yep. In various interviews he has mentioned a geology-themed mystery romance, a book on the life of Edwin of Northumbria, and another one on foraging. And yes the board game & the Miners' Musical all came to nowt. I am supposing he never managed to get the required financial backing/sponsorship and all the other stuff necessary for people to make money. Thinking perhaps Russell & Ralph's musical went the same way as Luke Haines' musical... Of course with his books he could self-publish or crowd fund - as others have done. But he really doesn't seem to be a self-publicist. Maybe he is not that bothered and happy to pootle about writing, foraging and making plans that never happen simply for his own amusement. I do wish he would publish something though, or write a blog, anything really. __________________ freakingoutthesquares.tumblr.com

Happiest of birthdays to the saucy antique dealer! Hope he's having a good one. Seconding wishing he had a blog or some sort of social media platform, it's been a minute since we've heard from him. -- Edited by flowerboy on Thursday 18th of May 2023 01:28:28 PM __________________

Happy birthday to King of Mis-Shapes himself, Mr Russell Senior esq.. Hope he's doing something nice, like taking the sea air at Scarborough, or treating himself to a nice, hot cup of intriguingly-scented tea. __________________ It's OK. It's just your mind.
