Manchester Murder

In 1828, a young boy was playing in Ancoats when he was approached by an old lady. She asked him to deliver a cake to a man named Mr Drummond. She then handed the boy two sixpences and off he went. When he knocked on Drummond's door, he was greeted by his wife, who told him that the cake was not for them. https://www.facebook.com/HelloSnikkit https://www.instagram.com/hellosnikkit/ https://twitter.com/HelloSnikkit Search all our tours here https://www.snikkit.com/searchTour

Praia Da Luz Marbles

Many theories have emerged about the great Luz marbles, one of my favourites are that they were left by a Cyclops who used them to throw at passing ships to keep strangers away. In mythology the Greek sailor Odysseus found the Cyclops cave and began eating his food and partying. The cyclops comes back, and is very angry so he and eats two of Odysseus's men. Odysseus wants to kill the cyclops when he is asleep but he knows that he won’t be able to move the huge rock in front of the cave to escape so he doesn’t kill the cyclops. The next day while the Cyclops is tending his sheep they make a wooden spike and hide it. When the cyclops comes back he takes 2 other men bashes their heads against a rock and eats them. Odyssus speaks to the Cyclops and offers him a strong wine which makes him go to sleep. When the cyclops is finally sleeping, Odysseus heats the spike and stabs the cyclops eye. The next morning they escape by tying themselves under the Cyclopes' sheep and escape the island back to their ship. When the cyclops realises he throws rocks at Odysseus's ship and barely miss them. Odysseus shouts, mocking the beast and sails into the sunset. Another version is that Mercury the Roman god of financial gain, commerce, eloquence, messages, communication, travellers, boundaries, luck, trickery and thieves; placed them to guide merchants in. Luz was a fish factory back when Rome had an empire and fish was a staple diet and an important food source for the ancients. But the truth is, the marbles were dropped off by Lagos council as a barrier to cars speeding down the road towards the sea after Derick Tomlinson from Stoke lost control of his high powered electric wheelchair and brakeless shot across the rocks and was lost to the sea forever.

Pam Porn and her Rubber Gloves

When I first wrote Thick As Thieves I was in it. As I got older I took a sideline, but wrote myself a little in show video. This film is seen by some audience members and not others, so enjoy.
