Special Forces - Lock Picking and the Long Arm of The Law
Posted by Chris Dangerfield on
Good gosh the end of the British summer is a dreary time. Forced into introspection by the predictability of seasons, the end of what we call summer is a few days when we finally accept the annual fact that we don't actually have a summer, rather one long teasing transition between spring and autumn; a myth of a season defined by promising sunny mornings followed by dull, grey afternoons that have you shivering in your summer wear by evening. Put your flip-flops away, it's over again, England is cold and always has been. So, unless global warming sorts itself...

I wouldn't be surprised if one day I got an email coldly asking 'When?', such is the nature of our instantly gratifying, disposable culture, where the journey is considered an obstacle and the destination everything.

The Oliver Diederichsen Interview
Posted by Chris Dangerfield on
The Oliver Diederichsen Interview About 6 years ago, UK Bump Keys organised an impressioning workshop in London.

Oli had just released his groundbreaking book on the subject, simply called 'Impressioning' and it was a day to remember...
