Renowned European quizmaster Karl Heinz Ruminegge is one of the world's deepest thinkers (he lives in a submarine off Hamburg). He leads an audience of armchair experts, artefacts, scientists and fans of nonsense through his own absurd quiz: Which absurd cat are you?
Known for his distinct and only mildly accented interview technique, Karl Ruminegge is also really famous. (You’ve probably seen him on TV.) One part vintage vaudevillian and one part European quiz show master, Rumminegge invites you to be led by the nose through a quiz you will find hard to remember.

poem for all on their own this christmas ---
CHRISTMAS
Tinsel has come to town.
It came early in November,
Spreading like poisonous ivy,
All that glitters is not gold,
In this poor city,
The Samaritan phone has
been red hot
with cold calls
and pleas for comfort.
Whilst on TV
The jolly quizmaster
awards points for
happiness,
and the perfect family
never forgets to decorate
house, home and tree.
True meanings of Christmas
Buried under a mountain
of wrapping paper,
and credit card receipts.
The merry cash till
plays the festive tune
And we lie to our children
About the man in red and white.
Excitement builds up
and fades away
Until the dustbin takes away
the trimmings.
Another whiskey. Another drop.
Cold turkey in the afternoon
lying on the settee;
wishing you'd never been born
Outside, fragments of the
Rainy season,
plays on the window pane.
Everywhere is shut and dark.
Friends are scattered around the globe
We turn for comfort.
To dancing coloured lights in the corner.
Fused and melted into a plastic rainbow
Soon, (but not soon enough) it will be
Spring , and lambs may play in the green
Fields once more.
Needles drop from drooping tree
(as if crying for being cut)
Children grow restless-
and fight with their toys.
I wish it would stop.
Christmas,.

The young artist developed the project Leuchtende Zukunft (Bright Future) primarily because he wanted to help reduce energy consumption. This protects the environment. The houses themselves emit light, so a great deal of energy for lamps and heating can be saved. High energy-consuming lamps become redundant and lamps and lanterns that give off dim light can be replaced by huge glow sticks.
These sticks, which contain mycelium, are placed in the transparent walls of houses in order to make them luminous. This is how it works: There are 71 kinds of fungi that give off a dim light, among them the *Armillaria* mellea, or honey mushroom. The mycelium of this European fungus glows at night. Placed in a tube, this could replace lamps—at least dim ones.
Emilio Deutsch (*2012) is in the fourth grade at LIBO Montessori Schule in Brunn am Gebirge. He is interested is motorcycle racing and Formula 1 and enjoys watching and playing “Quizmaster” on the app. He loves animals, nature, and likes jumping on his trampoline. In his free time, he conducts experiments with various materials and absorbs knowledge about all sorts of subjects related to nature and science. He is very concerned with the environment and is constantly inventing new things to protect it and keep it clean for the future.

WE WON! And I feel like I contributed a significant amount, including remembering that 1 is not a prime number and fighting for our team to pick that even when we weren't sure that the quizmaster was as mathematically rigorous about it. Turns out he was, so I was right.
We were running about 4th-5th place until the final round, too, so it was a surprise when we came from behind to score the victory.

Customers bring their own 7" records, seven of them, and play their own set. First come first served, anything goes but not if it upsets most people in which case dreadful things will happen. The aim is to please people and remind them of things they've forgotten about, not to horrify them with awful memories.
Thanks to Micky for the inspiration and the effort!

An exhibition by Jo Lewis
of watercolours made using the
natural ebb and flow of
the river Thames
Private View
Monday 18th June 2007
6.30 - 9.30 pm.
Jo Lewis works outside, on beaches or by rivers,
incorporating the natural water source into the process
of making the work.
The movement and flow of water across the paper as it meets the paint leaves a unique trace. Maybe only seconds apart, but in that new moment of weather, tide and wind, the paper records a new image.
Jo prefers not to use paintbrushes, as she seeks ways to record the fleeting interaction of the paint, paper and water. The strength of the result lies in the fragile
moment of it’s making.
Although the work is strikingly contemporary, Jo is using
a traditional, humble landscape medium, only a step away from the little box of watercolours that she began with.
The River Thames has become her landscape, its ebb, flow and tides giving the unpredictability and direct contact with the landscape that Jo responds to.
Jo Lewis studied in London, Edinburgh and Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Valence, France.
In 2003 she was awarded a Champions for Change Millennium Award for travel, culminating in a group
exhibition at the Pump House Gallery, Battersea.

British-American actress Wendy Barrie (1912-1978) had her breakthrough with The Private Life of Henry VIII (1932). In the following years, she would act with major Hollywood stars such as Spencer Tracy, James Stewart and Humphrey Bogart. By the 1940s, her star began to fade. This was partly due to the bad publicity generated by her real-life role as the mistress of notorious underworld figure Bugsy Siegel. In the late 1940s, she made a comeback on television. Barrie appeared in more than 15 films in Britain and more than 30 in Hollywood.
Wendy Barrie was born Marguerite Wendy Jenkin(s) in 1912 in British Hong Kong, to English parents. Her father, Francis Charles John Graigoe Jenkin(s), was a British lawyer. Her mother was Ellen McDonagh or Sarah Cohen (the sources differ), a Russian-Jewish actress who had performed in the world's first professional Yiddish-language theatre troupe. Her godfather and future stage namesake was the Scottish novelist-playwright, Sir J.M. Barrie, in whose play 'Peter Pan' was a character called Wendy. She received her education at a convent school in England and a finishing school in Switzerland. As a teenager, she began pursuing a career as an actress, helped by her red-gold hair and blue eyes. She adopted the stage name Wendy Barrie and played at the London Savoy Theatre in 'Wonder Bar' (1930). In 1932, she made her film debut in the British drama Threads (G.B. Samuelson, 1932). She was then signed to make several motion pictures for London Films under the Korda brothers, Zoltan and Alexander. She soon had her first major success with her role as Jane Seymour, the third of the six wives of King Henry VIII of England in The Private Life of Henry VIII (Alexander Korda, 1933) alongside Charles Laughton and Merle Oberon. The film was a major international success, establishing Korda as a leading filmmaker and Laughton as a box-office star. Hollywood soon also beckoned for Barrie. In 1934, she went to America where Fox signed her. During the next decade, she found regular employment at Paramount (1935), Universal (1936-1938) and RKO (1938-1942). I.S. Mowis at IMDb: "A blonde, vivacious lass with a certain innocent charm and an instinctive acting ability, she tended to play mostly ingenue roles in minor films and often rose above her material." Her American film debut was the screwball comedy It's a Small World (Irving Cummings, 1934) in which she co-starred with Spencer Tracy. It was followed by the romantic comedy Under Your Spell (Otto Preminger, 1936) with opera baritone Lawrence Tibbett. In 1936 she was loaned to MGM and played in Speed (Edwin L. Marin, 1936) alongside James Stewart in his first starring role. In 1937, she starred alongside Humphrey Bogart in the social drama Dead End (William Wyler, 1937). Two years later, the Sherlock Holmes classic The Hound of the Baskervilles (Sidney Lanfield, 1939) followed, in which she played the female lead alongside Basil Rathbone and Richard Greene. Craig Butler at AllMovie: "The first of the long and successful series of Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes films, The Hound of the Baskervilles is smashing good fun for Holmes enthusiasts and fans of the detective thriller genre. Set in the appropriately spooky moors, Hound is an engaging adaptation of the Arthur Conan Doyle original -- respectful but not slavish, and unafraid to make changes to make the film more interesting cinematically." She co-starred with Lucille Ball in the melodrama Five Came Back (John Farrow, 1939). Her Hollywood career alternated between leads in B movies and supporting roles in bigger films.
During 1939 and the early 1940s, Wendy Barrie made several of The Saint and The Falcon mystery films with George Sanders. At the end of the 1930s, she was a member of the cast of The Jack Haley Show on NBC (1937-1938) and CBS (1938-1939). She became a naturalised American citizen in 1942. She was attired in the uniform of the women's ambulance and transport corps. In the 1940s, Wendy Barrie focused on radio and later on television. She was an assistant on the Star for a Night radio program on the Blue Network (1943-1944), and she was one of the quizmasters on Detect and Collect on CBS (1945) and ABC (1945-1946). In 1956, she had a disc jockey program, the Wendy Barrie Show, on WMGM in New York City. She also hosted a widely syndicated radio interview show into the mid-1960s. She only acted occasionally in television programs, such as in the children's comedy The Adventures of Oky Doky (1948) featuring a cowboy puppet. In the same year, she decided to embark on what turned out to be a successful new career as television host of her pioneering talk show on daytime television, Picture This (1948), followed by The Wendy Barry Show (1948-1950). Her trademark sign-off was "Be a good bunny". Her relaxed, informal style brought her great popularity and plaudits from television critics like Jack Gould of the New York Times. That program was replaced by Through Wendy's Window in August 1950. The 15-minute NBC program had Barrie interviewing celebrities and talking about fashions. She continued on network television on panel shows in the early 1950s and as a spokesperson for commercial products, including a stint as the original Revlon saleswoman on The $64,000 Question. In 1950, she performed as a substitute for Jean Arthur in 'Peter Pan', along with Boris Karloff, at the Imperial Theatre, in New York City. Her last film was the comedy It Should Happen to You (George Cukor, 1954) with Judy Holliday. In 1962, Wendy Barrie stopped acting. In the mid-1970s, she suffered a stroke which affected her mental state and she spent the last years of her life at a nursing home in Englewood, New Jersey. There she died in 1978 at the age of 65. She is buried at the Kensico Cemetery in Valhalla, New York. Wendy Barrie has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (1708 Vine Street). Wendy Barrie was reportedly engaged to and had a daughter named Carolyn with the infamous gangster Benjamin 'Bugsy' Siegel. Later, she was married to textile manufacturer David L. Meyer.

Icon Girl Pistols formed in March 2008 when retired pornstar
Shinnosuke Shirakura (gt/pf/vo) discovered Ken Fukuda (dr) tapping
chopsticks on tin cans in the alleyways of Tokyo. After touring Taiwan
with Shinnosuke's other group Quizmaster in the summer, the duo
returned to Tokyo only to encounter rambling welshman Christopher
O'Reilly (bass) who pretended to be the famous pianist of the same
name until it was too late to kick him out of the band. The lineup was
completed in May 2009, when long time friend and solo artist Takashi
Hasegawa (gt/vo) was drugged, kidnapped and forced to join IGP after a
Jack Bauer-like interrogation.

One part vintage vaudevillian and one part European quiz show master, Rumminegge invites you to be led by the nose through a quiz you will find hard to remember.

British-American actress Wendy Barrie (1912-1978) had her breakthrough with The Private Life of Henry VIII (1932). In the following years, she would act with major Hollywood stars such as Spencer Tracy, James Stewart and Humphrey Bogart. By the 1940s, her star began to fade. This was partly due to the bad publicity generated by her real-life role as the mistress of notorious underworld figure Bugsy Siegel. In the late 1940s, she made a comeback on television. Barrie appeared in more than 15 films in Britain and more than 30 in Hollywood.
Wendy Barrie was born Marguerite Wendy Jenkin(s) in 1912 in British Hong Kong, to English parents. Her father, Francis Charles John Graigoe Jenkin(s), was a British lawyer. Her mother was Ellen McDonagh or Sarah Cohen (the sources differ), a Russian-Jewish actress who had performed in the world's first professional Yiddish-language theatre troupe. Her godfather and future stage namesake was the Scottish novelist-playwright, Sir J.M. Barrie, in whose play 'Peter Pan' was a character called Wendy. She received her education at a convent school in England and a finishing school in Switzerland. As a teenager, she began pursuing a career as an actress, helped by her red-gold hair and blue eyes. She adopted the stage name Wendy Barrie and played at the London Savoy Theatre in 'Wonder Bar' (1930). In 1932, she made her film debut in the British drama Threads (G.B. Samuelson, 1932). She was then signed to make several motion pictures for London Films under the Korda brothers, Zoltan and Alexander. She soon had her first major success with her role as Jane Seymour, the third of the six wives of King Henry VIII of England in The Private Life of Henry VIII (Alexander Korda, 1933) alongside Charles Laughton and Merle Oberon. The film was a major international success, establishing Korda as a leading filmmaker and Laughton as a box-office star. Hollywood soon also beckoned for Barrie. In 1934, she went to America where Fox signed her. During the next decade, she found regular employment at Paramount (1935), Universal (1936-1938) and RKO (1938-1942). I.S. Mowis at IMDb: "A blonde, vivacious lass with a certain innocent charm and an instinctive acting ability, she tended to play mostly ingenue roles in minor films and often rose above her material." Her American film debut was the screwball comedy It's a Small World (Irving Cummings, 1934) in which she co-starred with Spencer Tracy. It was followed by the romantic comedy Under Your Spell (Otto Preminger, 1936) with opera baritone Lawrence Tibbett. In 1936 she was loaned to MGM and played in Speed (Edwin L. Marin, 1936) alongside James Stewart in his first starring role. In 1937, she starred alongside Humphrey Bogart in the social drama Dead End (William Wyler, 1937). Two years later, the Sherlock Holmes classic The Hound of the Baskervilles (Sidney Lanfield, 1939) followed, in which she played the female lead alongside Basil Rathbone and Richard Greene. Craig Butler at AllMovie: "The first of the long and successful series of Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes films, The Hound of the Baskervilles is smashing good fun for Holmes enthusiasts and fans of the detective thriller genre. Set in the appropriately spooky moors, Hound is an engaging adaptation of the Arthur Conan Doyle original -- respectful but not slavish, and unafraid to make changes to make the film more interesting cinematically." She co-starred with Lucille Ball in the melodrama Five Came Back (John Farrow, 1939). Her Hollywood career alternated between leads in B movies and supporting roles in bigger films.
During 1939 and the early 1940s, Wendy Barrie made several of The Saint and The Falcon mystery films with George Sanders. At the end of the 1930s, she was a member of the cast of The Jack Haley Show on NBC (1937-1938) and CBS (1938-1939). She became a naturalised American citizen in 1942. She was attired in the uniform of the women's ambulance and transport corps. In the 1940s, Wendy Barrie focused on radio and later on television. She was an assistant on the Star for a Night radio program on the Blue Network (1943-1944), and she was one of the quizmasters on Detect and Collect on CBS (1945) and ABC (1945-1946). In 1956, she had a disc jockey program, the Wendy Barrie Show, on WMGM in New York City. She also hosted a widely syndicated radio interview show into the mid-1960s. She only acted occasionally in television programs, such as in the children's comedy The Adventures of Oky Doky (1948) featuring a cowboy puppet. In the same year, she decided to embark on what turned out to be a successful new career as television host of her pioneering talk show on daytime television, Picture This (1948), followed by The Wendy Barry Show (1948-1950). Her trademark sign-off was "Be a good bunny". Her relaxed, informal style brought her great popularity and plaudits from television critics like Jack Gould of the New York Times. That program was replaced by Through Wendy's Window in August 1950. The 15-minute NBC program had Barrie interviewing celebrities and talking about fashions. She continued on network television on panel shows in the early 1950s and as a spokesperson for commercial products, including a stint as the original Revlon saleswoman on The $64,000 Question. In 1950, she performed as a substitute for Jean Arthur in 'Peter Pan', along with Boris Karloff, at the Imperial Theatre, in New York City. Her last film was the comedy It Should Happen to You (George Cukor, 1954) with Judy Holliday. In 1962, Wendy Barrie stopped acting. In the mid-1970s, she suffered a stroke which affected her mental state and she spent the last years of her life at a nursing home in Englewood, New Jersey. There she died in 1978 at the age of 65. She is buried at the Kensico Cemetery in Valhalla, New York. Wendy Barrie has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (1708 Vine Street). Wendy Barrie was reportedly engaged to and had a daughter named Carolyn with the infamous gangster Benjamin 'Bugsy' Siegel. Later, she was married to textile manufacturer David L. Meyer.

A Polaroïd camera bought in Oxfam, Inverness for 3£.
A funny toy for my last days in Ardersier.
Back from Inverness after a bloody good gig (Peatbog Faeries@Ironworks), Nathan took the camera and began a photo-documentary about the Star Inn regulars (now called the George Inn which sounds a bit too much english, don't think so?).
Some good characters : Dougie, the college teacher and almost professionnal Queen of the South supporter, Jim, his quiz mate and Livingston supporter, Heather and Robbie behind the bar, Ken, the best quiz master ever, we miss you, and so much to tell about these guys, go and have a look, open from monday to sunday. Ardersier, High Street.
Un appareil Polaroïd déniché dans un charity shop à Inverness pour moins de quatre euros. Des pellicules dans le magasin d'en face. Un beau jouet pour mes derniers jours à Ardersier.
On avait bien profité du concert à Inverness (Peatbog Faeries, des gars de l'île de Skye), on était rentré joyeux, Nathan s'est alors lancé dans un photo-reportage sur la faune qui traîne au Star Inn (maintenant connu sous le nom du George Inn, çà sonne un peu trop anglais aux oreilles des Arderserians, et le Star, c'était un peu comme l'Etoile à Crac'h, l'internationale des poètes pochtrons ou des pochtrons poètes, tous inspirés par l'astronomie).
Quelques personages : Dougie, prof à la fac (il ne s'en vante pas) et surtout supporter de Queen of the South (il s'en vante beaucoup trop, une équipe de football perdue en seconde division écossaise), Jim, son collègue de quiz et supporter de Livingston, Kenny the Quiz Master, meilleur animateur au monde, ce n'est plus pareil depuis qu'il a raccroché le micro comme on raccroche les crampons (j'avais l'habitude de récupérer le journal au comptoir après lui, j'essayais de mettre la main sur les passages soulignés, probables questions pour la fin de semaine, jamais eu la moyenne même avec Rose, la patronne, qui me traduisait quand je ne comprenais pas le Daniel Mangeas local). Et puis beaucoup d'autres que vous pouvez croiser du lundi au dimanche, pas de repos au comptoir.
High Street, Ardersier.
