One to watch...
The Fastest Steam Car in the World, tonight at 7pm on BBC 2.
An eccentric team of British engineers attempts to break the longest standing land speed record in the world in a steam-powered car built in a shed in Hampshire.
Driven by Hampshire-based tycoon Charles Burnett III and grandson of Sir Malcolm Campbell, Don Wales, the attempt takes place at Edwards Air Force Base in California as the team goes in search of a runway big enough to break records on.

What is Myrrh Anyway? at Ealing's leading Art and Craft fair
Just a reminder that I will be at St James' Art and Craft Fair tomorrow - Saturday 7 November - between 10.00am and 4.00pm, selling - and of course signing! - copies of What is Myrrh Anyway? Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Christmas.
I also have a limited number of copies of the brand new American edition of the book Christmas Miscellany available, as well as some of my latest Fighting Fantasy adventure gamebook Stormslayer.
Admission is free, so if you're in the area, why not pop along and say "Hello"?

We're going to need a bigger boat...
I was interested (and a little unnerved) to read of this savage attack on a 10 foot long Great White Shark.
The news report suggests that the monster that attacked it could have been a 20 foot long specimen, or perhaps it actually ran into something like this (seen below attacking a steamship), which reminds me of the plot of a certain popular steampunk penny dreadful Leviathan Rising.
