RIP George Carlin

It’s a sad day as the great George Carlin (aka Rufus from Bill and Ted!), has passed on. Therefore it only seems fitting to relive his greatest moment in comedy: The Seven Dirty Words You Cannot Say on TV*
* Headphones a necessity for this one!! Not quite safe for work, but still damn hilarious!

Nuking the fridge…

In case you haven’t been paying attention, I hated Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull quite a bit. Well, apparently it’s now introduced a whole new phrase to the English language – “to nuke the fridge“. From the people who brought you “jumping the shark“, comes this new bons mots of pop [...]

Happy 30th Birthday Garfield

There are a lot of people who have influenced my life and made the person that I am today. My family, my friends, my colleagues and many more have been instrumental in making me turn out just as I am today. However there is one other source, who has been as much of an inspiration [...]

Better late than never…

It’s a cold, wet, windy Wednesday evening and there’s an Apprentice sized hole in my weekly TV schedule. What better time than to finally get into the world of Six Feet Under. For years it’s been on my ‘to watch’ list, alongside other TV gems like The Sopranos, 24 and Arrested Development. However with those [...]

The tale of the cautionary whale (aka why Juno is one of the best films I have seen in AGES!)

It’s a sad fact of life, but the older you get, the less you are impressed with things – especially films. It’s not that they get worse, it’s just that you have a greater sphere of knowledge to compare things to. Sure, you still get the odd cracker, but somehow they’re just not quite as [...]

All hail S’Ralan’s new Apprentice!!

So cockney wide-boy Lee McQueen beat off gobby northerner Claire Young to win the Apprentice 2008 – now that’s what I’m talking about!! Despite lying on his CV and doing an impression of a prehistoric lizard bird, the cockney geeeezer managed to eek out the win, thanks in part to being not as annoying as [...]

The greatest toy EVER?

Today’s question of the day is simple…
Has there ever been a a better toy than Lego?
Now, I know that it’s not the coolest thing in the world, but hear me out. Sure, Transformers were more complex, He-Man had more personality and Thunder Cats had a cooler catch phrase (hooooooo), but is there a more [...]

Tony Stark is back (already!)

Let’s be honest, the best thing about Ironman wasn’t the big metal suits. Or the jet-plane racing. Or the tank-smashing. Or even the geek-tastic ending with ‘Whats-his-name’ as ‘You-Know-Who’*. No, it was RDJ who didn’t so much ‘play’ Tony Stark, he WAS Tony Stark!! And so it is with a slight exclamation of geeky joy, [...]

Things that make you proud to be from the West Country #2578

“Go on! ‘Ave ‘im!! Kick ‘im!!”For those looking to take the February Swim on to new levels then what about Shin Kicking?! For those not in the know, it’s part of the ‘Cotswald Olimpicks’ which took place this past weekend Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire. You can read a full review of it [...]

Lost in Lost (contains SPOILERS!)

Good news everybody! After four epic, twisting, mind-tangling and all round head-f**king series, the question that all Lost fans have wanted answered has finaly been revealed! Yes, they finally, finally, FINALLY get off the chuffing island!!!
Now for more dedicated followers of the passengers of Oceanic Flight 816, this may not be the big whodunnit that [...]
