Gran Torino
Monday, March 23rd, 2009
We went to the pictures last night as a consolation prize instead of seeing Richard Herring. It was short notice so there wasn’t much on we could see. Most of the screens were taken up with Lesbian Vampire Killers and Paul Blart-Mall Cop and you know how I hate those art house pretentious films. The [...]
The show must go on
Monday, March 23rd, 2009
So Jade Goody is dead, I’m not saying that a 27 year old mother of 2 dying is not tragic it is, it really is. I think though that the whole media world should sit down now and think about what they have done. Not just the Hello’s and OK’s of the world I mean [...]
Taken

I always remember the significance of the cock of the school. I don’t know how well used the term is outside of the North of England but it is basically the name of the hardest boy/girl in the school at the time. There would be organised fights involving the cock of the school with the [...]
Watchmen
Wednesday, March 11th, 2009
I have been avoiding any reviews of Watchmen so they wouldn’t sway my opinion on a film a lot of people think shouldn’t have been made. I read Alan Moore/Dave Gibbon’s Watchmen years ago and was blown away. It is one of the milestone moments in comics/graphic novel history along with Frank Millers Dark Knight [...]
Which side are you on?

I’ve taken a day off today to look after Shelley whose a bit poorly. Whilst tidying up D’s room I got a bit sidetracked. There was a documentary on BBC 4 last night remembering the miners strike 25 years on. I remember it well as I was 11 and probably just starting to pay attention [...]
Boy A
Tuesday, March 10th, 2009
I enjoyed Boy A when we watched it the other night, a result of Shelley perving searching about Andrew Garfield. She’s been quietly dreaming about him since we watch Red Riding last week. It was an uncomfortable watch very well done, I haven’t read the book so I can’t comment on how well it transferred. [...]
Detachable penis

I thinkn this is American but we could adopt it as our mascot too.
We care a lot
Monday, March 9th, 2009
I know I am a little behind but I have only just hard about Faith No More’s reformation. Sometimes bands should stay split, I didn’t go and see the Pixies when they reformed as I thought it would be like going to a show that physically shows you how old you are. You are always [...]
Maggot Brain

I have recently discovered speak your’e branes, a blog that monitors real life comments on the BBC’s have your say message board. when they put this bullshit on the news I am the first to switch off as I want to watch the news not listen to white van man. The makers of this blog however have taken the rambling, idiotic, [...]
Lets get lost
Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009
My evening started like this-build a book case, carry on with sorting out the back room. All these went OK, the book case was an Ikea one that had been in the loft and granted there are a few bits missing but its solid enough for the return of the exiled CD’s from the loft. [...]
