‘Roches Town Taxi Service’ is Shit
Posted on December 21, 2006 - Filed Under Life-In-General | 3 Comments
Can you really expect good service from cretins who can’t even spell their company’s name correctly (it should be ‘Rochestown’)? Perhaps not, but you should at least be able to expect them to actually bother showing up when you order a cab from them. Sadly, this is not the case. Having spoken to an affable [...]

Given that the Nintendo Wii is sold out, given that Call of Duty 3 probably isn’t all that good anyway (and in any event is not as good as the over-rated but still excellent Gears of War, which my brother already has), and given that this game is refreshingly original, it looks likely that I’ll [...]

This takes a while to get going, but it’s worth the wait.
Thanks to Anthony for showing me this.
The Hogfather on Sky One

I watched the first half last night when I arrived home merry at 2 a.m. (having recorded it on Sky Plus), and I watched the second half this evening. For some reason the second half didn’t seem nearly as amusing as the first…
All things considered, it was a decent enough attempt at transposing the Discworld [...]
Finished

I finished my exams today. No doubt Vittorio Bufacchi will be very impressed with my dreadful, circular explanation of Marx’s ideas relating to the economic base and the superstructure; despite understanding the concept quite well I tied myself in knots and made a complete hash of it. I also arrived late for my 9 a.m. [...]

France 24 and Al Jazeera

Hurrah for France 24 and Al Jazeera. Launched within a few weeks of each other, they’re both far better than all the other news channels available on Sky Digital, including Euronews, which I’ve had a lot of time for up until now (I’m not taking BBC World News into consideration here because you can’t get [...]
Personality Disection

So after an evening’s drinking I found myself at Winning’s house the other night, where some asshole took it upon himself to explain to me some of my flaws. For one thing, apparently I don’t really speak the way I always speak, that is to say, my measured style of speech is a sham, something [...]

The big news story at the time I started blogging was the Muhammad cartoon snafu, in which, if you’ll recall, Muslims across the world demonstrated that they couldn’t take a joke and the Western media demonstrated that it had no balls. I came down hard on both the gutless European press, who wrote at length [...]
The Incomparable Importance of Humour

There’s nothing like laughter for hauling one out of a bad mood, or at least nothing so easily accessible. Having the spent the whole day feeling acutely unhappy, watching a Stephen Colbert clip has just improved my disposition considerably, thus sparing everyone reading this from some downcast monologue about how awful life is.
Of course, not [...]
