The Descent is not a film inspired by the inexplicably popular confusingly 3 dimensional PC game of the mid 90s. Rather it is a British horror film about women not knowing their limits when it comes to caving.
“Gruelling” is a compliment when it comes to a certain kind of horror film, and indeed there [...]
I should be in Biddulph watching the Brakes, but it’s a very cold day, and the match has been postponed due to a frozen pitch. Instead I’ll tell you about yesterday’s Happy Friday.
Steve, Debbie and I started at The Lounge, where there is a new cocktail menu. Now, I’d yet to find a decent [...]
I heartily endorse UK Resistance’s new Blue Sky in Games Campaign.
“We want to COLLECT BANANAS FROM MAGIC CASTLES not earn respect from fictional gang leaders!”
Right on! Although I did like GTA3 (partially because it had pretty skies).
If you read the previous post, are European, and want to experience the joy of the Decemberists live experience yourself, then you need to get to action quickly. Manchester tonight; Glasgow tomorrow; London Thursday.
If one person goes because I suggested it, I’ll be happy — and so will they be.
A Jaunt ‘Cross the [...]
A while ago, I got excited at the prospect of going not once, not twice, but three times, to Nottingham’s Rescue Rooms to see good bands from the Pacific Northwest. Then there was a scheduling snafu whereby we invited a load of people to our house for a murder mystery evening on the night [...]
In celebration of MC’s birthday this week, Gary and MC had organised the function room at The Sausage (formerly sozzled, but now apparently sobered up). Having promised that there would be no food, Gary had broken his word by providing many cakey nibbles, which means that early on I got that peculiar sugar [...]
A league match! At home! Not only this, but with Abbi conveniently diverted by work, Tom got to come along too.
Visitors Quorn are top of the table, so we were anticipating some excitement. Ryan Howell scored in the first half, but the record League crowd of 621 could only muster a polite clap. When [...]
Just now, location management announced a 2 minute silence at 11:00 to mark Rememberance Sunday, although it’s Friday. Gary pointed out that the 7/7 victims got 3 minutes…
By 11:01 I had decided to use the remaining minute productively, so I looked up the lyrics to Crass’s “How Does It Feel”, addressed to Thatcher at [...]
I think you could describe last night’s third round Birmingham Counties Senior Cup match — in the cold and the rain — as a nailbiter.
Solihull scored the first one early on. During this time I stood under my umbrella, while Steve stood staunchly in the driving rain, and got soaked. For the second half, [...]

四国 (”Shikoku”) is one of the four main islands of Japan (Wikipedia article). The name means “land of four”, referring to the four old provinces which made up the island. Judging by the last [...]
