Hypocrisy is a wonderful thing, and thanks to the medium of social networking, it is a much easier thing to achieve. Every time Facebook chisels away at the privacy settings of the least private private network in the world, or Google adds another prohibitively anti privacy line to its terms and conditions, I do the [...]

Gym Films 3: Tokyo Drift

Exercise,Film 11 October 2011 | 0 Comments

After my last post about discographies (go here if you haven’t read it, you a bad bad person) it seems somewhat appropriate that this week’s thrilling instalment of Gym Films is in itself a kind of Discography, except for films instead of albums, and Vin Diesel’s muscles rather than songs. I saw a review (by [...]

Gym Films 2: Gym Harder

Exercise,Film,Movies,To Watch Pile 22 September 2011 | 0 Comments

Yes, it’s true, I’m still going to the Gym. And no, I’m not just sitting in the lounge area for an hour drinking the free coffee. Oh no, I do all sorts of manly running and cycling and weights type things. I’m even starting to enjoy it, sort of. Not in any kind of ‘actual’ [...]

As I mentioned before, I am now trying to balance out the massive amounts of chocolate I consume by going to the gym. Also known as huffing and puffing for a bit while feeling self conscious about how much better shape everyone else is in, before doing a frankly embarrassingly round of weight machines and [...]

I’m going to burn down the cinema on Nazi night

Blood on the Motorway,Film,General,Writing 29 July 2011 | 0 Comments

Note: Before we get going, it strikes me as slightly ironic that when I bought www.bloodonthemotorway.com the idea was always that the novel would be serialised, and this domain, Blog On The Motorway, would be simply a new home for the blog I have written for years. The title being nothing other than a simple [...]

Film,Parenting 31 May 2011 | 3 Comments

Short break from the 30 day challenge because for the first time in weeks a genuine, bona fide blog post idea occurred to me, and I figured I had better write it down before it went to the great imaginary out basket in my brain. It’ll be back tomorrow, possibly. This weekend marked a little [...]

Stealing ideas

Film,To Watch Pile 20 February 2011 | 0 Comments

There’s only one thing more annoying than someone coming up with a good idea before you do, and that’s someone coming up with a good idea and inviting you to be a part of it, but then you can’t. When my good friend Fozz started his website To Watch Pile, my first thought was ‘damn [...]

Razzle Dazzle

Film,General 30 January 2011 | 0 Comments

My first real hangover of the year today, so it would have been nice to have done nothing, but it’s been another action packed day, as we’ve been looking after a friend’s little baby girl while she moved house, and I’ve had to do all manner of complicated and arduous tasks, such as doing the [...]

I want my bees.

Film,TV 28 January 2011 | 0 Comments

While my girlfriend was out last night enjoying the allegedly excellent Black Swan the plan was to liaise with Jonic on website type stuff and get a lot more writing done. Alas, while I was successful on the first front on the second I was less successful, mainly due to finding the remake of The [...]

Blood Feud

365,Film,Net hate 25 January 2011 | 0 Comments

Today I managed to get embroiled in a small Twitter debate, which is rare for me. Usually I am all about the telling of bad jokes, musing on the music I listen to and boring people with links to this blog. I rarely say anything worth disagreeing with, because most of the time I am [...]
