Heckled by the Headmaster’s son.

Bath’s new comedy club, Komedia, opened a couple of months back and I have been meaning to get along there and see someone amusing for weeks, and that finally happened last night when I joined forces with Miss Passmore, the Phins and El Cartino to go and see former Fist Of Fun star Richard Herring [...]

Oh the weather outside is frightful, dum-de-dum delightful!

After a week of news reports, where the rest of the country seemed gripped by an icy maelstrom, it was finally Bath’s turn to have a light dusting of snow and have it’s transport infrastucture grind to a halt. Alas, with me living on one of the busiest road and on the 3rd floor, there [...]

Bath 3 – Toulouse 3

With the winter months coming to a close and the sun finally shining upon the Georgian spires of Bath, it would seem like the perfect weekend to welcome the people of Toulouse to our fair city for, what was regarded by many commentators, as the potential dream match in the group stages of the 2008/9 [...]

Balustrade vs. Guitar Hero

It’s been a quiet few months for Balustrade, ever since we lost the Rockhall Studios due to unforeseen circumstances. However with the winter nights growing ever darker and the crunchy credit affecting our bank balances post-winterval, then I thought it was about time for a brief reunion of sorts. Alas, due to the proximity of [...]

MacFormat Christmas Party

After a very busy few months, it seemd only appropriate for the MacFormat team to relax and actually have a bit of fun at the end of the year. And so it was that we continued our annual tradition of having a really big meal at the Marlborough Tavern and then embarassing ourselves by attempting [...]

Feeling festive

With the Christmas deadlines passed, the world is somehow a happier, more wonderful place. The sun seems to be shining brighter and the birds are singing louder, (both of which I initially put this down to the fact that I have had a lot of early starts, late finishes and very few lunch hours in [...]

Like Eddie Falson at the end of ‘Color of Money’, I’m baaaack!!

You may have noticed things have been a tad quiet on the blog front in recent weeks (apart from the odd movie and rugby review) and that’s because the months of October and November seem to have been swallowed up with all manner of distractions, days out and deadlines that have kept me from imparting [...]

Bath Rugby 25 – Leicester Tigers 21

After a length period away from the Rec, both as a result of international breaks and European away fixtures, it was a return to Premiership action this week with Leicester Tigers once again making the journey down the M5 to the West Country. After the slightly lacklustre performance against the Tigers in the European Cup, [...]

Bath Rugby 15 – Leicester Tigers 19

There are few bigger rivalries in club rugby in the UK, than Bath vs. Leicester. Two of the most succesful teams of the last 25 years have had some storied rivalries over the year, however today’s EDF Anglo Welsh Cup match at the Rec was far from a classic. With both teams fielding weaker line-ups [...]

Bath Rugby 37 – Worcester 19

After an explosive week, which saw the Southgate shopping centre belch toxic black clouds across the city centre, it was an equally fiery encounter at the Rec, that saw Bath run in 5 tries in a heated, but ultimately one-sided West Country derby.
With the mist coating the hills around the City, the home team were [...]
