Postman Pat is negligent and should be sacked

By Iain 2 May 2010Films/TV, Reflections, Videogames2 Comments

I've been watching Postman Pat quite a lot recently - how he's not been sacked for gross misconduct is beyond me. Every episode, he fucks up and although it does eventually work out in the end, he's incredibly negligent. If he's not losing the labels off packages, turning up incredibly late or letting live animals out of their travel enclosures,…

Cowboy boots

This week I have been mostly writing about Halo 2 and doing up the forum. It's been a mixed bag in terms of feedback on it - some like the bold new colours, some prefer the muted tones of yesterday. You can't please all of the people all of the time though. It'll work out in the end, whether it…

Karen Gillan is a popular search term then

Thanks crazy barefooted guy from this post! You secured me a couple of foot fetish "barefoot" searches. It was also pretty fortuitous that I smoke, as the word "cigarette" secured me some fag fetish clicks. I must also thank the guy or gal who clicked through because of the "lol cat doomsday" search, if only as some kind of proof…

I’m pretty sure we live near some kind of mental institution

Earlier this week I saw a young guy, barefoot and dressed in shorts and a vest (it was raining and very windy at the time), skipping along the road singing along to One Hand In My Pocket by Alanis Morissette (thing is - the earbud ends of his earphones were in his ears, as is procedure, but the bit you…

One life

By Iain 21 March 2010Films/TV, Reflections2 Comments

We just get the one life, you know. Just one. You can't live someone else's or think it's more important just because it's more dramatic. What happens matters. Maybe only to us, but it matters. 50 points to anyone who can tell me what film that quote is from. I used to always want to write an autobiography, but the…

Spiral Onion Loaf

Went over to Southampton to see the guys yesterday, it was lovely. Jasmine is crawling now - slowly - but she's getting there. Her teeth are starting to come through and she looks so much like my Mum. I'm glad she was in a better mood than last time I went over, she was all smiles and laughs - last…

Lost

By Iain 4 March 2010Films/TV, InternetNo Comments

How long is an episode of Lost? About 45 minutes. How long does it take me, roughly, to download the latest episode? About an hour. How much time do I spend clicking links here and there reading about the latest rumours, the latest theories, the answers to the questions, the in-depth commentaries by people who read far too much into…

RFBW: Jeff Lindsay – Dexter

By Iain 18 February 2010Books, Films/TV2 Comments

Darkly Dreaming Dexter This first book naturally sets up the basic premise: Dexter is a forensic scientist who works for the Police, and in his spare time he kills those killers who slip through the Police's net. Despite this, he is immensely lovable, partly thanks to the brilliant portrayal by Michael C. Hall in the TV series which I had…

Who likes privacy, anyway?

By Iain 17 January 2010Films/TV, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

In what is turning into a weekly moan about the people who live in this house with me, I'm getting used to not having any privacy at all any more. It seems like every five minutes I'm being visited by a small child who comes in and moans and cries when I tell him "I'm playing a game which involves…

2009 Top 10: Lost

By Iain 28 December 2009Films/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments

Season 5 of Lost was amazing. It went from a drama series that subconsciously flirted with science fiction, all the way over to true Sci-Fi. The Island and it's inhabitants moved through time and space, some people who had got off the Island "had to go back", and did, and lots of people died. I don't think many of the…
