Last night’s match between Stoke and Arsenal is going to be one match I never forget, for the wrong reasons.
I didn’t watch a Birmingham game 2 years ago when Eduardo’s leg got broken in a similar fashion, but when I watched the players’ reactions after the tackle – Thomas Vermaelen sitting on the ground looking [...]

Before I start I feel the need to comment on how hokey Lost can be for people who haven’t been watching since Season One. My sister was behind me watching for the first ten minutes and when they showed the Temple she was like “That’s not an Island” and when they showed the Spring she [...]

It’s not often I read a graphic novel that is wildly different from the vast majority out there. Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse is one of those graphic novels partially due to the fact that Ben Templesmith’s art is so distinctive, but also because the main character is a worm that inhabits a corpse. Yes, you read [...]

First, let me start off by saying Kate is my least favourite character on Lost and almost every single episode that has been Kate-centric, I have hated. I can’t stand the way she got everyone in trouble with the Others back in the earlier seasons, and her constantly changing mind in later seasons (Jack we [...]

I collect a lot of stuff and sometimes I find that after I’ve played the game or read the comics or whatever, I don’t really feel the need to keep them so they’re taking up valuable space. So here’s a deal the following items are free (you can pay me whatever you feel like but [...]

As promised last week, a non Take That post but not totally unrelated: this week it’s You Know Me by ex Take That member Robbie Williams.
Great song, fun video and definitely going to be one of my favourites of 2010. Definitely elicits a very “old school” vibe too – hope you like it as much [...]

For the first time in the years I’ve been supporting Arsenal, I’m feeling really disappointed in them – more specifically with Arsene Wenger.
There were signs that after 5 years without a trophy this could be it, but in the span of a few games we’ve been knocked out of the FA cup and on a [...]

Okay so I watched the season premier and within 4 minutes it was obvious I was going to have many MANY reactions to the show, so I figured I’d write them down. Skip this post entirely if you’re not a Lostie.
If you are though… here we go:
The plane is fine?
Desmond on the plane?!
The island sunk?
Dharma [...]

Yes, the first episode of season six.
The first time in the history of Lost (maybe the history of television?) that no footage from the new season has been used in any promotional video, advertisement or any such media.
Why? Because at the end of last season, Juliet detonated Jughead (the hydrogen bomb) and the world turned [...]

January’s resolution was awesome. I read a total of 4 books and 17 graphic novels over the month and that’s pretty damn high. I’m considering making reading 30 pages a day a year-long affair because I feel like the habit has been put in place!
Moving on to February – yes I’m going to cook once [...]
