I suppose you could consider it ironic for a chap who hasn't been blogging for five months to talk about the other places you won't find him regularly online, but I'm sure I don't see it that way ... Clandestine Critic – Obviously. This is my main outlet for recording…
Admit it – you thought I wouldn't come back. Hell, even I thought I wouldn't. I have an unofficial tradition of posting regularly for a spell, before something breaks the run and I stop blogging for a few months (with no explanation). I'm sure that's a familiar pattern around the…
A change of pace today: some terrible photographs from my mobile phone of typographic errors I've noticed recently. I follow the English FAIL blog, GrammarBlog and Apostrophe Abuse (which are all derivations of the FAIL Blog), which probably inspired me to take the photos in the first place. You can…

Life has got in the way of my blogging at the moment, particularly the part of life associated with work. Apologies for the infrequency. However, I had to return to post this news: I'm on Wikipedia. For now. If you ever needed confirmation that the information on that site shouldn't…
The dreariness of a bank holiday Monday in an English summer can have an affect on a person's mood. It certainly permeated through to my recent blogging attitude or, rather, my consumption of material. Don't get me wrong; I still enjoy comic books, films, comedy, books, but sometimes the product…
To celebrate 10 years of DVD, Empire is doing one of its Features: The 100 DVDs You Must Own. As I've been away from the blogging game for a while, there's nothing like a list to ease oneself back into things. Obviously, this is a list, which means that it's…
