My WrestleMania 24 Review
In: ppv
30 Mar 2008Is as follows:
Nothing whatsoever. Why? I was foolish enough to move to Virgin Media recently, and have paid my £14.95 to watch it live tonight. However, I have had a blank screen since the first five minutes, no reboots will solve it. I’ve established from some UK wrestling forums that other Virgin customers are having [...]

Questionable Content
In: comics
24 Mar 2008I’m feeling a bit odd, full of cold or something, and thus a bit out of it. I’ve been passing the time by catching up on a great little web comic, Questionable Content.

The Fall live at the Oxford Academy
In: music
17 Mar 2008Technically speaking, I think that counts as assault. I’ve just been shouted at, beaten with bass, drop-kicked with drums, kerb-stomped with keyboards. It hurt a lot. And sounded great. Beautiful messy enormous noise. Tiring, not tiresome. Mark E Smith wandering about a lot, turning knobs on things in a manner that suggests he knows what [...]
