I used to love The Smashing Pumpkins. In fact there was a time when Idevoured everything they put out, and to this day I think Siamese Dreams remains one of the best albums ever recorded. Which is why it is so disappointing that Billy Corgan, once one of my idols, has in the last few years [...]
Today’s post will be a bit like Jaws 2, in that it will be roughly 17% less interesting than the first one, but different from Jaws 2 in that it wont culminate in Roy Schneider coaxing a giant shark to bite a huge power cable. Sunday started with another continental breakfast, where I decided to [...]
This past weekend Ellen, Rosie and I decamped from our beautiful city to another beautiful English city for the weekend to celebrate Ellen’s birthday. Three days in Oxford was exactly what the doctor ordered, so forgive me if for the next few days I record the event for posterity. If nothing else it might be [...]
Cross Blogination is a project I’m doing with twitterthon hero Diary Of A Ledger, the idea being every week one of us will recommend to the other one of our all time favourite albums, which we will then both write a review for. Then every three weeks we take a suggestion from someone else. This weeks suggestion comes [...]
Tonight will see a watershed moment for British Television, as the biggest human cockstain walking, Mr Nick Griffin of the British Nutsack Party, has been invited to appear on BBC’s Question Time to be debated by a panel of his peers.

For all of the ‘big ideas’ that I have on a regular basis, I have a terrible knack of letting the dust settle on them for long enough that I move on from them. You may have noticed that there has not been a lot of movement on the Blood On The Motorway front recently, [...]
(Warning! This post gets a bit schmaltzy towards the end, so don’t read on if you don’t want me to get all emo on you.) Simon Amstell is a very very funny man. Crammed into the rafters of York’s Grand Opera House (a slightly misleading name) last night, Ellen and I witnessed a man spending an [...]
Just a quick one today, work has been hella busy today. It seems that the nation’s worst newspaper did a small feature on us over the weekend, leading to a ton of orders. I’ve been processing the Internet orders all morning. On the upside I get to stick my headphones in and listen to the [...]
Cross Blogination is a project I’m doing with twitterthon hero Diary Of A Ledger, the idea being every week one of us will recommend to the other one of our all time favourite albums, which we will then both write a review for. This week it’s Gray’s turn again. I approached this week’s challenge with a certain amount [...]
Today, over 8000 blogs in 140 countries are taking part in Blog Action Day 2009 raising awareness and challenging people to act on climate change. Thanks to Miss Smidge, who let me know about this, and has a great post on her site. For my contribution I thought I’d write a letter to my two [...]
