Our 84 mile sponsored walk of Hadrian’s wall is looming ever closer. Seven months and twelve days close to be precise.
I’ve started to cast my net around for some corporate sponsorship and the wonderful people at Qtag.com have been the first to step up to the plate with an extremely generous donation of £100. [...] Read more »

Blu-ray review: Bolt
When boiled down to it’s elements Bolt is made of the same ingredients as Beverly Hills Chihuahua. The protagonist is a dog which has been ripped out of it’s comfort zone, the sidekick a reluctant and world weary ally, the plot surrounds the heros efforts to get back to it’s owners (in LA no [...] Read more »
We’ve had a letter from a Mrs Trellis of North Wales
The radio show I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue is a much loved British institution. It’s now in it’s 51st season and has been going since 1972. It bills itself as an “antidote to panel games”, which as a definition is pretty redundant as the types of panel games against which it was [...]

Kerry and I took a [...] Read more »

Children’s Book: The Skipping Rope Snake
I object to paying £5 for a children’s picture book. I appreciate that that’s the going rate for them these days, and I even recognize that it’s probably a lot more difficult than it looks to produce them. But five pounds? [...] Read more »

DVD: The Phil Silvers Show 50th anniversary edition
It is a crime against humanity that you are not able to buy all 143 episodes of Sgt. Bilko on DVD, yet you are able to get every single episode of Top Cat, Hanna Barbera’s Bilko rip off. Where is [...] Read more »
