A typical lunch hour in London:
Walking onto Blackfriars Bridge, avoiding the closed pavements due to station refurbishment, I walk past Bobby Gillespie, singer in popular blues and electronica group Primal Scream. There is no mistaking Gillespie, he always appears incredibly greasy and gaunt, a man who has had an eventful life and could be very […]
An exciting sight welcomed me on the Millennium Bridge this beautiful sunny crisp morning. Seeing another film crew I thought nothing of it, they are there everyday after all.
As I closed in on the flittering crew I realised those in front of the camera were foul-mouth idiot Jonathan Ross, smug pug-faced little fat man Ricky […]
There is an advert jingle on Sky News which plays continuously throughout the day. Because the television is placed next to my left ear I hear this jingle multiple times. It is quite catchy and I have been singing along. The ditty is now implanted within my bonce.
The tune is connected with a Sky News […]
In the few months before the release of the new Star Trek film I am trying to watch a number of episodes of the Original Series, or TOS if you prefer. One I watched recently was called Friday’s Child. It was an average episode about the crew of the Enterprise becoming entangled in a planet’s […]
Ooooh, what a palaver. Apologies for being absent for a few days, I have been carrying out my on call duty as a Russell Brand body-double diversion device.

Really sad news; David Tennant is standing down as Doctor Who after appearing in four special episodes in 2009 and this year’s Christmas episode. He says he loves playing the Time Lord but wants to leave the role because he wants go out as a popular Doctor. I was hoping he would stay for a […]

The winners were; Best Presenter for Fearne Cotton, Editor’s Special Award to Lily Allen […]
I recently watched an old episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, or ST:TOS if you are so inclined. The episode was called ‘The Conscience of the King’ and is considered to be an unrecognised classic of the series.
The episode is about Kirk crossing paths with an actor suspected of having been a murderous dictator […]
******SPOILER ALERT******
I must say that I am happy that Doctor Who is back. I become afraid when a new series begins because I worry it will be a massive disappointment. Series three saw some amazing episodes, such as Family of Blood and Blink, but was let down by its silly Master-arc series finale (the turn-back-time […]
