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 [...]

Did I mention?

Blood on the Motorway,General,TV,Writing 29 June 2011 | 9 Comments

I will return to the 30 day song challenge shortly, but the next topic is ‘a song that makes you happy’ or some such, which is too difficult for me to wrap my head around at the moment, given that I have a head full of nasty cold, which I am currently trying to expel [...]

These things are sent to try us

365,General,TV,Writing 4 April 2011 | 0 Comments

You may have noticed that since I started my new job (and if you didn’t know, I’ve started a new job!) the frequency of posting has dropped to around the level of satisfaction of your average Charlie Sheen concert attendee, the whole idea I had at the beginning of the year to post as close [...]

An ever present and shrinking hell

General,TV 19 March 2011 | 0 Comments

Once again I come to you live and direct from the changing room at my daughter’s dance class, where they have decided to force everyone from two rooms into one to make room for piano lessons. I can understand the rationale for this in these tight economic times but the net result is to take [...]

The general report of a creaking man

365,Blood on the Motorway,Diet,Exercise,General,TV,Writing 17 February 2011 | 0 Comments

Try as I might I cannot find anything to wax lyrical about, so how about a report card? A general state of the union you might say, except not for any particular union, just me, your humble blogger. Having a day of general achiness and creakiness today, although I am not sure how much of [...]

Personal Crisis.

Books,TV 13 February 2011 | 0 Comments

Today a crisis has enveloped my household, something of a hammer blow to the gut. A day I knew was inevitable from the day in May last year when our lives came to be dominated by a black box. That’s right, our V+ box is finally full. For those of you unaware of what this [...]

**WARNING: Today’s post may be taken as evidence as to why attempting to blog every single day may not be the best idea. Apologies in advance, especially to Clive Tyldesley.** I am, it has to be said, bloody knackered, and a bit too mentally adrift to be of much use to you tonight. It’s been [...]

Disgusted and disgusting

TV 6 February 2011 | 0 Comments

Urgh, for the second time this year already I have been struck down by the dread plague, although at least time its nothing more serious than a nasty headcold. Inconvenient and draining on the tissue reserves but not as utterly debilitating as the full on flu of just a few weeks ago. But at the [...]

I miss my MTV

Music,TV,Uncategorized 3 February 2011 | 0 Comments

My musical playlists over the past few weeks have tended more towards the 90’s, also known as the decade that music became my whole world. To me, anyway, you might know it by another name. It’s been lovely hearing some old albums that I haven’t heard in what seems like an age, I even forced [...]

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 [...]
