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’ [...]
Again I’ve done the thing of writing a blog post at a time when I can’t post it, and then forgetting to post it once I got home. I wrote most of this last week, gleeful at the time that it would mean more than one blog post in a week, giddy at making September [...]
For some reason I seem to be falling into a weekly pattern with blog posts, once a Monday, then plan a load more and then fail to do them, Monday rolls around again and I get another one done. Of course then what happens in this particular case is that I then leave said blog [...]
The other night I watched the Shane meadows film This Is England for the first time, having somehow missed it the umpteen other times it has been on. I thought it was very good, although I did wonder if it was entirely successful in repudiating the rather reprehensible far-right politics at the core of some [...]
‘Jesus Christ!’ This was the response of the nice lady from the disconnections team at Virgin Media when I recounted my tale of woe to her. As promised, I took the bull by the horns and phoned up to cancel my account with them, armed with the fresh knowledge that the £30 recommend-a-friend discount hadn’t [...]
Disclaimer: Before we get started, may I just warn you that this post will not be of any interest to you unless the newest film in the Star Trek franchise made you weep like a small child. Aint It Cool News is reporting that Star Trek reboot master JJ Abrams is considering whether or not [...]
So it seems that UNICEF have named a goodwill ambassador in Orlando Bloom, yes he of the vacant stare and ‘unique’ approach to acting (as in making sure as to never display emotion on that face of his, lest he develop wrinkle lines.) Interesting choice. Perhaps they plan on using his perfect forehead as a [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
Well I did it, 50,000 words in 30 days, and now have the shiny evidence of my ability to write a ton of drivel in a short space of time. That may sound harsh, but it probably is drivel at the moment (I don’t know either way, I haven’t looked back on it at all) [...]
