Walking home the other eve I became entangled in an unexpected lady-embrace. I was walking past ‘The Scream’, a student pub very close to where I live, in that London. There were lots of young people mingling and milling on the pavement, some smoking and some just chatting, all drinking. The causeway narrows outside the […]

I have recently seen the summer blockbuster that is ‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’. I was a little annoyed that it was shown on Screen 2 at Mile End Genesis Cinema, this was due to ‘Sex and the City’ being released on a Wednesday. When are films ever […]
There is nothing better than hearing distant thunder in the wee small hours. As one snuggles up in bed, listening to the rumbling and crashing, rain slashing against the window, one is generally happy with the world. The sound is both comforting and eerie.
As I look out of my bedroom window at the impending storm […]
I watched ‘Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade’ last night and I noticed a rather bizarre coincidence. I have watched all three films in the run up to seeing ‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’ at the cinema.

The episode is about Kirk crossing paths with an actor suspected of having been a murderous dictator […]
No, I am not talking about Doctor Who’s Catherine Tate, you naughty people.
Recently, there have appeared a collection of bizarre artistic apparitions on the frontage of the Tate Modern, on London’s South Bank. These gigantic paintings stretch from the tip of the building to its very bottom. It must be a mammoth task to paint […]
How do you give instructions and directions to someone who does not speak English? With great difficulty, that’s how.
“Excuse, I help need.”
“Sorry, I have no spare change or cigarettes.”
“No, I bus need in Tower Hill.”
“You need a bus to Tower Hill?”
“Yeez.”
“The buses that go from this stop do not go to Tower Hill.”
“Tower Hill bus, […]
It was with intense trepidation that I walked up to the gates outside work for my confrontation with the sex pest. I was stood in the spitting rain, with only a couple of smokers for company. I decided to give the pest five minutes and then I would return to my desk, settled in the […]
