My viewing habits are well documented, the majority of my blog posts begin or lead to a moment from the television screen. My wife and I tend to focus on watching television shows during the week and save our movies for the weekend. However, sometimes an old classic is shown on Film4 or ITV2 and […]
Meesh, Teg & Tom
Perhaps it will become a tradition at Christmas, much like Her Majesty’s Speech to the United Kingdom and Commonwealth promptly at 3pm. Last year I went to see Tom Cruise, in the action blockbuster, Mission:Impossible – Ghost Protocol, with my Dad at IMAX Waterloo. (I am sure I have mentioned before but just to underline […]
Comic Book Hero Dreams
I love comic book movies. I expect it is a given, being a geek, but having said that, I have never actually read or been in possession of a traditional comic book. By comic book I mean the conventional sense, not the comic strip you used to get in The Funday Times kids supplement with […]
The Power Of A Response
Back at work on a Monday morning is never a great place to be! Why oh why do weekends go by so quickly! However a quick tweet on Twitter can change all that! When I saw Anil Kapoor in the audience at the BAFTA Awards ceremony last night at the Royal Opera House, I explained […]
Ghost Protocol Initiated
I am sure we can all recall a moment in time when we truly grow up. These, ‘rights of passage’ occur throughout our lives but generally are confined to our early teens and twenties. In June 1998 I headed on my first solo journey into Central London. It was perhaps the biggest interview of my […]
Who Goes There?
Before I get bogged down with writing up my India holiday blog posts, I thought it would good and refreshing to give a quick catch up post on everything I have been up to since I returned from the subcontinent. My Dad recommended I did not go straight to sleep when I got back to […]
You’re Not In Kansas Anymore
Snow is a very interesting weather condition and it is funny watching the human response to the white stuff. A few years ago, we would have just soldiered on with our lives but this time around, many decided to not bother and just stay in. I did not have such a novelty to fall back […]
Sunday 1st November 2009
November already? The penultimate month of the year? 2009 nearly down? Well it is a year I am actually looking forward to seeing the back of for many reasons. Perhaps a little too early for a review of the year or even rant of the year. I will save for that sometime next month. Today […]
Sunday 7th September 2008
There is nowhere else to start apart from England. European World Cup Qualifying kicked off yesterday afternoon with all the home nations in action. It was very annoying not being able to watch the game on Sky or the Beeb. There was not even a highlights programme to look forward to later in the evening. […]
Monday 1st January 2007
It is 02.37am, as the first few precious hours of 2007 come and go. I should not really be on my computer but for some reason I am. Anyway, housekeeping down, 2006 archives updated. West Side Story was being shown on Sky Cinema this afternoon at 3.20pm. There was a minor “temporary fault” so the […]
