Hello, I hope all is groovy. It's well groovy here as today IT'S MY BIRTHDAY. Me me me me me! My little sister has sent me a singing Cliff Richard card which the kids have had on repeat for the last 30 minutes.

Oddly enough it was my youngest son's birthday yesterday and we had a little party for him, which led me to a classic cowboy party album that I put together a few years ago for another one of my kid's doos. You don't need to have a party to hear it because it's just cheerful and great at anytime, and includes 25 western themed things including classics like Champion The Wonder Horse as well as personal faves like the bonkers Wringle Wrangle, a brill version of Ghost Riders and loads more. The Cowboy Party album can be found right here for 50p partner. Yeehaa. And yeehaa again.

Today also sees the launch of a new series of pretty fine posters. I've recently come across a large and inspiring collection of very peculiar ephemera. This first poster is just the beginning, hopefully there will be strange books and other stuff coming over the next 12 months. More news will slowly follow. But this first poster is really brilliant - and it all started with this advert. Then they made a small but perfectly formed point of sale cardboard cut out of Mohammed Ali eating a burger. It's a superb and very funny thing (and incredibly rare these days - 36 years on), and the second I saw it I immediately wanted to make a poster for my kitchen with it. So I did. I made 25. These A3 posters are identical to the cardboard cutout, the same size, and superbly printed because the original is so pristine. All posters are numbered and embossed with the Trunk logo, and some have already gone to neighbours, one to Jon Brooks, one to Paul Flack who does my artwork etc. The brilliant Mohammed Ali Big Mouth Big Burger poster is here. Make sure you scroll down to see the complete poster in all its big mouth burger glory.

Also, last week I mentioned Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, and that I was trying to find a suitably interesting 1960s film about it. Well as usual, someone from this great mailing list pointed me in the direction of a superb short made by his uncle, all about the stained glass. Douglas Wood was the man behind the camera, an award winning (and Oscar nominated) director who made several of these great trade test transmissions back in the day. And so here is Crown Of Glass. 

I'm now off to have BIRTHDAY breakfast in a coalhouse with my lovely wife. Who may well have bought me slippers. But maybe not.

Thanks for listening
