What if Lost merged with Heroes?
In: video
25 Jan 2009I’m about to lose any fanboy credibility whatsover by the end of this sentence, when I admit that I still watch both Lost and Heroes, and enjoy them. I kind of put it down to my love of Twin Peaks, which I feel means I have far more patience with inexplicable plot twists and a [...]
Metronomy – Radio Ladio
21 Jan 2009Saw this for the first time on 120 minutes on MTV2 at the weekend. Great place to discover good music you’ve missed and should know about in general.
Great band I’m glad to have heard, love the lo-fi sound. Worth looking through their other videos, they’ve done some interesting stuff. The Smiling Assassin should particularly have [...]
A great Japanese wrestling match
In: video
14 Jan 2009Thanks to the Wrestling Bard for this tip, via their Favourite Matches of the Year list. It’s a fantastic match with a load of moves I’ve just never seen before. I think it’s the combinations of finishers towards the end that did it for me, just haven’t seen that used so well before. The match [...]

1 Nov 2008But Seriously, What Does Mick Foley Think About Barack Obama? | Indecision2008 | Comedy Central
It’s been said that people in America are turning to the Daily Show and the Colbert Report for real insight into current events at the moment. But to TNA as well? Possibly one of the strangest things you’ll see on a [...]
Giant Lego Man
1 Nov 2008Giant Lego Man washed ashore in Zandvoort
A similar giant Lego man has recently washed ashore in Brighton, here is the arrival of one in Zandvoort. I think two counts as some sort of invasion myself.
Post Flood Update – Have you seen this man?
31 Jul 2007Of course the most important issue following the floods in Oxford has not been how those people affected are rebuilding their lives, it has been the search for the Osney Bum Groper:
Now the police are trying to trace him so they can fine him.

Haw gets Last Laugh – Londonist
In: video
16 Jan 2007This is great. Brian Haw's protest has been transformed into art and that art itself forms a fresh protest.
Just have a lot of respect for the protester Brian Haw, and it is great to see his protest living on like this.
