If Carlsberg made First Person Shooters… No, just joshing. I was musing the other day that gaming lately has become a bit “meh” – everything’s the same and nothing is truly great. I’m not just talking about First Person Shooters, I mean any game. I love(d) Grand Theft Auto, but GTA IV was a disappointment [...]

Idea for movie

Posted: 23rd October 2010 by Annie in Musings

When I tell people my better half is a potter, often the response from ladies is ‘Ooo is it like the scene from ‘Ghost’ at your house?’ (you know the film where Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze get jiggy in the mud). Yesterday while lunching with two friends, this came up as my female friend [...]

In my inbox today – “You will have cool sex!” Cool sex? Surely no one wants that? Surely you’d want it warm? Wait. I think I went too far, but not as far as @zombie_dod – “Yeah cool sex just sounds like necrophilia to me.”

I don’t know much about art, but…

I know what I like. That too is varied. I’m not stupid enough to think an empty room with a flashing light bulb in it could be considered art. That’s not art, that’s some pompous twonk messing with electricity. Real art is fun to look at and fills you with feelings or makes you contemplate [...]

I recently had to go somewhere new and with a set time to get there, I needed to know the best route. Just like anything else in life, when I need answers I turn to Google. A quick search on Google maps gave me an estimated walking time from the train station to my destination. [...]

If only I could post photos…I said that without even thinking, haha yes I cannot work that out yet, well I lost the lead that makes the magic happen anyway! I had an idea for some bad pictures of me in an afro wig I own. Anyway back to Google images to find something that [...]

There he is, Henry’s cat. They don’t make cats like that anymore. The grouchy, mellow yellow feline who knows everything about nothing and not too much about that. I don’t remember Henry’s cat ever pissing on the kitchen floor. Everything seemed better when you were younger didn’t it? Cartoons nowadays are pants. When I was [...]

Even visiting you parents can be fun

I got home last night and fancied going for a drive. I made an excuse that I wanted to go an buy some booze, but really I just wanted a reason to be able to go for a little drive. This would never have happened in the old days. A car was simply a necessary [...]

Solid copy, we are Oscar Mike

Why is it that (most) military terminology and jargon sounds so much cooler than the standard English language? Probably because I’m a boy I guess, but phrases like “solid copy”, “oscar mike”, “blue-on-blue”, “tango down” etc, etc – are awfully cool. Even something simple like “clicks” for kilometers, adds jazz to a simple word. It’s [...]
