Wii-kun: *looking behind doors and couches* Hello? Hello? Man, it’s quiet here..HELLO?! ANYONE? WHERE ARE YOU?! Guise: *dangling from the ceiling in black mask* Right here! Sho: *leaping out in red and green outfit* Hi-yahh Wii-kun: What the hell is going on around here? Sho: We’ve been busy playing Batman: Arkham Asylum Guise: We pretty [...]

Ninja Night! Ninja Night! Ninja Night! Ninja Night! Ninja Night! Ninja Night! Ninja Night! “I was told never to get drunk on an empty stomach…so I’m getting drunk on JD instead” ~ Me during a very sincere phone call Science can overcome many of the annoyances in life, making those nightmare scenarios that plague our [...]

Ninja Night! Ninja Night! Ninja Night! Ninja Night! Ninja Night! Ninja Night! Ninja Night! In an attempt to quell some of the aggravation of the daily grind and to delay the excitement of the new Batman: Arkham Asylum game due out in a week’s time, I decided to make tonight (Friday) Ninja Night, with a [...]

You can in part blame Amy and KB for this being posted, as they spurred me on when I wasn’t sure whether to post this or not, as I kind of felt this entry fell in to the category of “why the hell would anyone want to know that?!” or “and you don’t think writing [...]

NaBloPoMo: Day Four (Delayed to 09/07/09 – Happy Birthday, Amy) Alternative title ideas: 1) The Great Taste of America? Yeah, Her Name Was…wait, what? 2) Since When Has “Great Taste” Ever Been Associated… (see here for further information) Remember, remember the 4th of July…hm…not quite the same ring to it. A lot of countries have [...]

NaBloPoMo: Day One (Delayed to 05/07/09) As KB pointed out over on her blog, July is National Blog Posting Month with the goal of posting each day in your blog or journal – I imagine producing podcasts and vlogs count too – and like Kristiane, I too am starting off behind with this endeavour. Though [...]

So, I got back last weeked from the beautiful Californian sunshine and it’s wonderful residents. Yeah, I’ve been home for a few days now and it achingly keeps seeming longer and longer since I was in glorious San Jose. I’m still uploading photos and vlogs, so you may find that this post gets ninja editted [...]

You remember the ominous box, right? Sure you do, it was that great box of stuff that Dan and his lovely lady sent me through that was, quite literally, crammed with goodies from the States. The most amazing thing about the box was all the things that I’d heard of all through growing up, but [...]

Yes, finally they have hit the shops and the first place I saw them…the hospital cafeteria (which is a frightening place, I tell ya). What are they, you ask? The new “Do Us A Flavour” crisps from Walkers and amongst them was the one I was waiting for. Not so long ago Walkers crisps, who [...]

The first place in my hometown to display even a passing interest in Halloween this year wasn’t the toy stores or card shops, but the ASDA supermarket, who started to dedicate an aisle to the festivities at the start of September. It was only by passing one day that I chose to look inside, and [...]

OMG! Did anyone NOT see the show on Monday. Seriously, it’s hard to believe it’s only three weeks until Halloween Hackfest 2008 pay-per-view. The commentary team of Brain and Beej are already talking up the ordering process (I’m already paid up! Had to use Mom’s Visa and something from the kitty – I chose the [...]

You may remember me mentioning, or recall the original source, about how disappointed Matt over at X-Entertainment was about a trip to Burger King and the experience with the Pokemon kids club meal. I’m afraid that by the end of this post, I might disappoint Matt further (like he reads this, yeah). Before I do, [...]

Guise Dugal: Kyah! (Drops from the ceiling dressed in black hoodie, pants and black towel wrapped around neck) Dugal Dugal: Holy cr… Guise: Hi? Dugal: Dude, what the hell?! Where’d you come from, and what the hell is up with you voice? Guise: Ah…you noticed my manly, gravelly growl? Dugal: It sounds like strep… Guise: [...]

The Full English Breakfast, or fry up, is one of those traditions in the UK that most people will be familiar with, from truck drivers in greasy spoon cafes to high-flying business people in swanky hotels, even little kids are bought up knowing about the hearty breakfast. The majority of British hotels, restaurants, canteens and [...]

It’s been a while folks and I can confirm, I’m not dead. I’ve just been remiss in my duties. Now some people may wonder just where I’ve been and what exciting adventures I’ve been up to, expecting tales of sun drenched beaches or fantastic hotels with crappy facilities, or talk about how much I dislike [...]

I was talking to Dio today – as I am always very happy to be able to do – and the subject came up about pets, having derailed it from being nothing at all about animals to begin with (but then I’m not really known for staying consistently on subject). As we talked about our [...]

They say that great minds think alike, but what they fail to add is that lessor minds like mine may also pick up signals from greater minds. For the last few days, an idea evolved in my head that originated from DJ D and Dan complementing me on this blog, which I wanted some way [...]

So, there I was quietly sat in contemplation – what I was contemplating I can’t quite remember, though it was likely maudlin introspection or pining – when I felt a sudden force strike me across the back of the head, startling me to my senses. My hand held to the back of my head, I [...]

Oh boy and gee wilikers, I just spent the afternoon seperating comics that I want to keep from comics that I want to part with. It’s quite a large amount, but not really enough to dent the collection too badly. I haven’t actually sorted through what is amongst the parting crowd, but theres a pretty [...]
