If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Thursday night was the MacUser night out which inevitably meant some pounding heads yesterday morning (Friday). As we all say around slowly stirring our tea and nibbling half-heartedly on corners of toast we went over the night before.
Ads, of […]

According to this story in the Guardian, Pierce Brosnan has quit the Bond films.
Hmmm… if he has it’s a bad thing, but then Roger Moore apparently quit after pretty much every film. They were even looking for a new Bond before The Spy Who Loved Me, which was only his third outing. Quitting and then […]

I think it’s the excitement of having come in to London with me every day for the last week, but Barbra, my iBook is clearly unwell this evening.
She seems to be having some kind of a disco thing going on, with her screen overlaid three times on top of itself and a hundred horizontal bars […]

Time seems to be flying by at the moment. Already it’s Sunday. The next will be my last before doing away.
This weekend, though, has been a mix of work and fun. Most of yesterday was spent writing, and without any distractions I burnt through several thousand words in a fairly short space of time, which […]

Two weeks (and a day) from now I’ll be off on holiday. It’ll be my first break in ten months - the longest stretch between holidays for years - and I can’t wait. These last few days I’ve been getting up at six so I can do a couple of hours’ work before going into […]

Take the battle scenes from Lord of the Rings, the underlying plot of Gladiator, and mix in a dash of Robin Hood, and what do you have?
King Arthur, which goes on general release at the end of the month.
Oh, and get Clive Owen to play the lead, too, just to spoil it. He was terrible. […]

Basildon today, which I’ve studiously avoided for the last 8 years. It’s two steps short of being Lakeside, which is three steps short of being Bluewater, which in itself is a short stroll shorter than being somewhere decent, but traffic jams on the M25 made crossing the river a slow and tedious chore, so […]

The end of the week was a long time coming, which made today all the more welcome. In fact, I think it was a pretty long week for us all, largely on account of the fact that we were listening to David Hasselhoff, which is pointless as only Germans can hear it. Kind of like […]

I feel completely worn out at the moment. I am so behind on my emailing (sorry, Stina, sorry Kev, sorry all), and have been very remiss on the blogging front these last few days.
It all started last weekend. I had a bucket-load of work all neatly planned out, but then this happened and that, and […]

Anyone who knows me knows I’m a James Bond geek. I must have seen them all a hundred times each. So, the offer of a trip to Pinewood, where all but Moonraker was filmed, was too good to pass up. And so it was that I found myself in a 20-seater limo cruising far too […]
