It was decided a few months ago that this Easter bank holiday a group of friends would hire a boat and go sailing along the Norfolk broads. In total there were four couples and after meeting at the local supermarket to get stocked up on food and drink we departed for the sunny climbs of [...]
The London night closed in on me in every conceivable direction as I hurried to the train station, dark, heavy and full of bad noise. I walked with my head down and my hands deep in my pockets, unwilling to acknowledge the darker elements of the world around me; pay it no heed I thought, [...]
Let’s get this out the way. Drive Angry is a stupid film. Really stupid; I feel like somewhere along the way the producers reached into my brain and sucked out IQ points. It’s also fantastic fun. There’s a tendency for films to take themselves just a little bit to seriously of late, heroes have to [...]

The big day has finally arrived! Apple are revealing the iPad 3 to the world on the 7th of March and it’s possibly not going to be the only thing revealed that day either. If the frenzied rumour mills are to be believed (And it’s best to keep a large pinch salt to hand whilst [...]
Saturday was a brisk affair. Snow had tumbled into the country with wild abandon and scant regard for health and safety paperwork. People were sliding into cars and concrete, brains dashed and bones cracked. The air was heavy with all kinds of rambling portents, chaos reigned on the streets. Now I thought, is the perfect [...]
I’m out of money; I bet you are too. Do you know who’s fault it is? That’s right buddy, it’s the Bankers. And possibly the Greeks. Maybe Greek bankers; shifty looking lot by all accounts. Of course I heard the benefit seekers were taking a fat slice of that pie, so best pin those lazy [...]
