And so, with barely a day to go, I suppose I had better try and get down my round up of the year, something that has been buzzing in and around my head for the last few weeks. In the time since I started thinking about it, my feed reader (and probably yours too) have [...]
I am very very bored at work, but this has left me in the profoundly rubbish situation of having nothing profound, or yet even mildly interesting to say, and yet I feel the best way to pass my time between now and half five is to blog. Bah. I very much doubt that I will [...]
Well, my attempt to maintain a one-post-a-day track record lasted long, eh? I generally excuse weekends, and every day this week I have opened WordPress and stared blankly at it for a few minutes before chuntering back to Google Reader once again, hitting the refresh button like a crack addict. Oh well. At least [...]
It seems that the taste for celebrity culture may be showing its very first signs of declining. Now I like a bit of celebrity gossip as much as anyone, but I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that the trend of the last ten years or so of deifying anyone even remotely linked to [...]
Another Wednesday night, another plummet in the standards of what originally looked like one of the best shows on TV. Heroes has always born the hallmarks of a show written by committee, now it appears that the members of that committee are refusing to tell each other what they are writing. Every episode ignores the [...]
It’s been on the cards for a while now, ever since the Rearviewmirror best of, but Pearl Jam, the most almighty of mighty bands (in my eyes at least) are re-issuing Ten, their still-wonderful debut from 1992. Well, I say still wonderful, but it’s actually the least listened to in my collection, mainly due to [...]
I was in far too foul a mood yesterday to post anything, the kind of festering unplaced rage that renders every conversation a confrontation, and every menial task as the start of an apoplecticfit. If, however, I had have blogged yesterday, it would have been to pass comment on the fourth anniversary of the murder [...]
Paul’s quick capsule review of two films he finally got to see over the weekend: Hancock is alright. Quantum Of Solace is rubbish. Honestly, I was shocked at how little I enjoyed QOS. I thoroughly enjoyed the new direction Casino Royale took Bond to, and was looking forward to another step in the right direction, [...]
Yes, it seems that the unhappy news that Tezza Wogan has stepped down from presenting Eurovision has been fully confirmed by the fact the Bloody Graham Norton will be the new host. Now, I hate Eurovision and its hideous range of caterwauling and bland pop, but Tezza made it rather watchable, with his ever increasing [...]
I was in a bit of a quandary tonight as to what to write about, so three cheers for Google News, which pointed me in the direction of this link, about the story of the utterly terrible Christmas Grotto that fleeced several families out of money for what appears to have been the tourist equivalent [...]
