I’m not one to blow my own trumpet, so to speak, but when I predicted big things for All The Young last year, it seems that I was right. Not only did they finish the year with slots supporting The Pigeon Detectives and The Courteeners, but they headlined a homecoming gig at the King’s Hall [...]
I’m a sucker for a good zombie book, and while my zombie based reading is mostly in comic form (The Walking Dead), one book in particular stood out for me this year, being a completely different take on the standard zombie tale. This is a love story, told from the point of view of a [...]
2011 has been a strong year for both British and American TV, with some outstanding comedy, and some other, much darker stuff as well. I’ve written a bit about my particular highlights here. For me though, one show stood out above the rest for sheer enjoyment, and it was Trollied, on Sky1. The first sitcom [...]
Being as 2011 is drawing to a close, I figured I’d follow convention for once and start rounding up all my favourite things from the year. To start with, I thought I’d go with television, and give you a brief description of some of the things that I liked most on the tellybox this last [...]
So, this year is drawing to a close, and I thought I’d inflict on you some of the highlights of my year. Then I realised the general highlight was winning £12.80 on the Euromillions, and I’ve managed to impart that knowledge in the space of one sentence. So instead, I’ve decided to write a bit [...]

Following on from part one of my Top 10 Movie Deaths, here’s the rest of the countdown, from 5 to 1. 5. Dr. Emmett Brown in Back to the Future- This is a movie death that serves as a bit of a shock. Why kill off one of the main characters right at the beginning [...]
Following on from my Top 10 Robots article, someone at work suggested that my next top 10 should be of memorable movie deaths, and so here it is. I suppose this sort of article could potentially be described as containing spoilers. I wouldn’t imagine there are any major surprises on this list to be honest, and if [...]
In an effort to inspire myself to write a bit more, I’ve decided to start compiling lists of things. Like a real bloke. And just like a real bloke, my lists will be of things like spaceships, computers, and robots. Damn right. These lists are in no way definitive, they’re more a list of whatever [...]
You may have noticed that as well as rambling endlessly about my general day to day life, I like to take photographs. You can see a collection of them by clicking the galleries link on the menu bar (or indeed that link just there highlighted in red ). I tend to concentrate more on animal shots [...]
Not only is today Halloween, but it’s also Movemberween. The eve of many men’s yearly attempt to raise some money for charity, while looking splendidly dapper in the process. That’s right, it’s Movember time again, where true gentlemen donate their top lip for 30 days, all in the cause of raising money and awareness for and of [...]
