Another year gone, another decade even. I can hardly get my head round how much has happened in the noughties, and since I didn’t start this blog until halfway through 2004 I would be hard-pressed to remember a lot of it anyway, though I do seem to recall getting married at some point. It is […]

The most annoying thing about Halloween
November 2nd, 2009 · Comments Off on The most annoying thing about Halloween · Life
This is not where I bang on about telling children that for one night a year it is OK to accept sweets from strangers and the endless streams of children knocking on your door. That is easily addressed. You can already put up posters saying ‘no trick or treat please’, although I think it would […]

The gift that keeps on giving
October 19th, 2009 · Comments Off on The gift that keeps on giving · Life
I watched Goldmember again tonight. There were a few jokes or references I didn’t get before because I have been catching up on stuff in recent years so there are some things I hadn’t heard of the first time round, though I probably should have. Prime example was in the Japanese sub-titles bit where Austin […]
Gross-out horror for the sake of it

Earlier this week I watched Staunton Hill on DVD. Or to use its official title “Cameron Romero’s Staunton Hill”.  I wasn’t too impressed, and was glad I got it free through Amazon’s Vine programme and didn’t part with money for it. Cameron Romero is the son of the legendary George A. Romero, who gives it […]
Black Sheep
October 5th, 2009 · Comments Off on Black Sheep · Life
This evening I watched the New Zealand comedy-horror film Black Sheep – the second NZ film I have watched this year. I think it cost me about three quid in HMV and have not laughed so much for ages. It is like a cross between Resident Evil and Footrot Flats and all done in the […]
Going Commando

Last week I was frustrated when I decided to watch Commando and discovered that I didn’t actually have it. Yesterday I bought it in HMV so I could scratch that itch. It was only available in a box set with Predator, Terminator & Conan.  Good value – although I already have Predator. So tonight I […]
Bang, boom, yippee-kayay etc.

For no particular reason I decided to assert my masculinity this week, and also get some use out of my TV and DVD player which otherwise sit idle most of the time. I watched Die Hard 4.0 again first of all. I wanted to enjoy the explosions and mayhem on one level but riducule the […]
American Psycho
July 30th, 2009 · 6 Comments · Music
I had never heard of Miles Fisher before today. He is best know (so far) as an actor, and is now making music too – just like Keanu Reeves, Bruce Willis, David Hasselhoff and Stephen Seagal, but IMO a bit more listenable. This video is from his EP (available to play and download free) and […]

Its funny the things that make you miss somebody. Jayne is away this week on a school trip, leaving me and the kids to wreck look after the house. As she has taken our only surviving car with her, it leaves me a bit stranded here. By the time I have cycled up that hill […]
Back to the future
May 26th, 2009 · Comments Off on Back to the future · Life
I am now two-thirds of the way through the DVD box set of the Back to the Future trilogy. Somehow I managed to get this far without seeing any of them. I have been on the set in California and seen the town hall and I went on the ride (either in California or Florida. […]
