After last night’s little rant about CWDs, I managed to completely forgot what I was actually going to post about. And what a cracking little post it was going to be. Or should I say, it was going to be ’sweet’ because yesterday we had a virtual treasure chest of classic sweets arrive at MacFormat [...]

Hurray for PR freebies
July 31, 2008Clipboard wielding do-gooders.
July 30, 2008I hate to get all ‘Jeremy Clarkson’ here, but when the hell did the high streets of this country get taken over by clipboard wielding do-gooders?! It’s getting to the point where I am altering my route to avoid these moronically grinning, hand shaking, moral guardians of the streets, who earn £5 an hour to [...]

July 29, 2008A fantastic looking trailer for the new Oliver Stone film that focuses on the early years of a certain cretinous president of the USA. Looks like a cracking watch with an incredible looking cast!!
Cinema rage!!
July 28, 2008Last night, while watching Dark Knight, I was again reminded of all the things that make me angry about going to the cinema. I know this makes me a grumpy old curmudgeon, but I don’t care!!
So here is my top 10 most annoying things about the cinema…
1. The price – £7 for a ticket. I [...]
The Dark Knight
July 27, 2008The Dark Knight is much more than just a great comic book movie, it’s a really great movie, period. But what makes it so great is not what you would expect. It’s not Heath Ledger’s performance (although that is very good and very creepy), and it’s not the level or darkness in the story-telling (which [...]
The Great British Summer returns!
July 26, 2008The Great British Summer finally decided to arrive this weekend, and with it came the traditional trip to the seaside for the ‘great unwashed’. So with our picnic and our suncream, Hannah and I decided to join them at the lovely south coast of Devon.
And what a sight it was too. Skinny, pasty, men with [...]
Never leave an unstressed syllable
July 25, 2008I don’t know what I was more surprised by when I read Giles Coren’s Letter to the Times Sub Editors; the temerity of this jumped up critic who brought it upon himself to berate a poor sub editor for doing their job; or the fact that such as colossal fuss has been made about such [...]
Challenge rewarded…
July 22, 2008After my epic film recommendation post from earlier in the month, I have finally received my prize! Whoo hoo for my 70s disco pants!
The Lost Art of the Mix-tape
July 22, 2008In a world of iPods, Playlists and iTunes, it’s easy to forget the art of the humble mixtape. Gone are the hours spent sweating over getting just the right number of songs onto the side of a TDK C-90, and it has been replaced with a simple algorithim or smart setting in iTunes. However there [...]
A bit of house keeping
July 20, 2008A quick note for those who are interested. After 3 reasonably happy years using Blogger for the Pipedream, I have decided that it’s services really are just a bit too basic for what I need and so I have decided to move the whole thing over to WordPress. As I’m sure you’ll all agree, it [...]
