Doctor Look Out! So, Christopher Eccleston will be Doctor Number Eight. A good choice, I think. They have a bunch of good writers on the show, and it looks like they're taking...

Bugging I was rudely awoken yesterday morning by someone tromping about in our flat. Don't know who it was, as I only just got a brief glimpse of him as he turned around and...

Finally After an ebarrassingly long delay (which was all my fault, no excuses), page seventeen of the comic is done! It'll go up as soon as Spooky has the time to upload it,...

"Chicken Tikka, tell me what's wrong..." Well, it wasn't a disaster...as such. Oliver's "fifteen-minute" curry recipe actually takes an hour and a half to cook, and I'm sure...

Wish Me Luck (I) Tomorrow, I shall be attempting to cook a curry for the first time since a disasterous chicken tikka incident in 2001 that dented my confidence somewhat. I've...

Brainsplurge's Comic Reviews! (Part 2 of an interminably dull series) Actually, it's Part Nothing, because I've joined Silver Bullet Comics' reviews team, so if you want to see...
-
Owie! My entire lower right arm is currently exploding in a cavalcade of pain and hot tingly feelings even at rest. Meg thinks I might have developed tennis elbow, but I think...
-
Giant Stalinist Crabs If not stranger, then truth is definitely at least equally as strange as fiction. Alhtough the funny thing about this story (apart from the fact that it's...
-
From The Bullpen! Two Spooky's Dungeon pages still waiting to go up, another pencilled, and two more laid-out and scripted. I've also started rewriting and laying out some...

"I'm a Derek, and Dereks don't run!" No, but they do win eleven very overdue Academy Awards. Well done to the cast and crew of the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. The second one was...

Where Do You Go, My Lovely? The mystery is solved. It seems the song is actually called "Where DO You Go?" and was by No Mercy. Thanks to perfectlyidiot for putting me on the...

Where Did You Go, My Lovely? Best laid plans and all that. I've been holding off making a blog entry for the past few days because 1 I've not been doing anything particularly...

"I would have waited an eternity for this..." We went out to visit Amanda (meg's sister, my sister-in-law) and Ben (Meg's brother-in-law, my brother-in-law-in-law?). They were...

That Was The Week(end) That Was Well, the weekend was a perfect...er...end to the...um...week. We'd had a good week, after the previous week was ruined by some dismal behaviour...

Brainsplurge's Comic Reviews! (Part 1 of an interminably dull series) I've liked The Avengers ever since I was a child and read this comic reprinted in some British comic or...

Hakuna Mutata It's pretty well-known that The Lion King is a version of Hamlet. Hamlet with less murder and incest, and a happy ending, but Hamlet nonetheless. So it should...

Evil gangmasters who rule the cockle slave trade by fear Look, I know it's a terrible story that highlights the perpetration of great injustices and great evils at work, but...

A Two-way Street One perennial controversy in British television is the amount of US imports. There is a general impression (on both sides of the Atlantic) that British...

They're bloody mad... It's Superbowl day today. Silly game. Even sillier organisers. There's a twelve mile no-fly zone operating at the event, patrolled by military jets with...

Nothing To See Here I thought I might have more to say today, but I'm knackered. So here's a picture: I'm actually not that happy with it, as it didn't turn out nearly as well...
-
Dicing With Death & The Irony Of Chocolate Bars One thing that I won't miss about the US is the constant fear of a violent and messy death. Coming from a country where the most...

Master, master, where’s the dreams that I’ve been after? K got himself a Master System emulator! Finally, I'll be able to finish Phantasy Star! Games really were better back then.

Pull Up! Pull Up! Bugger...Has Anyone Got 10p? Many thanks to Rob for this one! I am a Thrust-ship. I am small and tricky - where you think I am, I probably am not. I can work...

Nicked this from Hannabella who I don't think I've visited before, and who has a lovely white, grey and blue blog. I also got the same result as Hannabella did... What Classic...
