Happy Christmas!
As of the time of writing, it’s Christmas Eve. I wasn’t really sure what to write about, because there are so many things one could write about. So many things have been said about Christmas, what can be said that hasn’t already? But then I thought… hmmm…. well, why not say something which has been…

I have succumbed!
I have finally joined MySpace. well actually, I joined a month ago just so I could post comments on Kevvy B’s blog, but now I have actually created a page and everything. Well, um, edited the page that I did have so that there is actually stuff on there. Ah well, if you can’t beat…

It’s Torchwood, Jim, but not as we know it
So, last night I watched this week’s Torchwood. Beforehand, I thought “Yep, tomorrow I’ll be writing up my usual blog rant about it…” but actually, I thought the episode was probably one of the best of the series. I think it was handled quite sensitively, enough though it didn’t actually involve any aliens. Come to…

Quick update – the weekend
So… what went on at the weekend, then? Well. On Friday night… we didn’t do very much. No surprises there! On Saturday, we went into town in the morning, and then in the afternoon Phil went to Fordham to play her Clarinet for Tim & Katie’s wedding, and I went into town to do a…

Subscribing to Simon’s blog
Just a quick update — Simon has for a long time had his website under protection of a username and password. This basically means that although his website does publish an RSS feed, many RSS readers can’t use it. I have found a way round this, however, a solution which will work on *any* RSS…

I knew it…
Christmas music is torture. Well, not really, but according to an article on The Register, there are similarities: “If people don’t want it and if they have a negative response to it and if they’re exposed to something continually, the same songs over and over, it’s no different to being tortured, it’s the same reaction,…

Should we legalise brothels?
I was watching the news tonight, and the top story is that five prostitutes have been killed, and found in various locations around Ipswich (including Hintlesham, which I used to drive to on the way to work – scary stuff!) I don’t really want to comment on the tragedy as such, but one of the…

Apologies (doh!)
Firstly, I would like to apologise for the rather uninteresting nature of this blog of late. In fact, not just of late – in general. Particularly boring of late, maybe I should say. Anyway. There’s not much I can do about this, short of becoming James Bond (and the last time I did that I…

Torchwood. You know the score.
Ok. Step one: read my previous rants on Torchwood. Step two: watch the current Torchwood (about the guy who died but is now a ghost). Step three: fill in the following for yourself: (insert stupid things about the episode here) Seriously though, these guys are just making it too easy! This episode actually self-destructed. It…

Torchwood – Again!
Apologies for this blog seeming to become the “rant about Torchwood” blog… but it just provides so much food for thought and / or criticism! This week’s episode (‘They Keep Killing Suzie’) was quite a good one, I thought. Having said that, there were one or two things which the entire episode hinged around which…
