wytchfynder, who showered me with muffins, conversation and a random copy of Jon Courtenay Grimwood's redRobe*, before buggering off to the Evil Empire again on Saturday in pursuit of the Dread Phid.

Go on, tell me all about the obscure, weird fairy tale films you've ever watched, and see if you can poke more holes in my thin veneer of authoritativeness.
