10 million people tuned in to watch the new, long awaited series of Doctor Who on Saturday. Of those, only about 6 of us seemed to be ‘bloggers and written a review on their weblog. Sort it out people! You’re geeks – stop trying to have a life and watch some low [...]

Weight Watch ‘05: Week 2
As predicted, slight problems with keeping count of the calories over Easter. Yesterday (Tuesday) I weighed in at 14st 13.5lbs – a whole 1.5lbs heavier than last week and more or less back at my starting weight. Not so good.
However, yesterdays return to the normal* (very limited) calorie intake coupled with a 5 [...]
28 Movies Later
The other part of the conversation I had with my friend (and bear in mind we are absolute film geeks) was about how the recent UK film “28 Days Later” bore more than a passing resemblance to Day of the Triffids and several other films. I’ve always claimed that you could take pieces from [...]
Hiding Behind The Sofa
The BBC’s marketing plan is clear. With the advent of a new series of CGI enhanced Dr Who about to hit our TV screens (that’s tomorrow for those who haven’t picked up on this), Auntie has obviously decided that now is a good time to scour the archives in search of all those old [...]
The Day Has Come
Woah! I can’t believe it! One of the programs from the BBC that scared me more than anything else as a child (hey, I was only 8!) is being released on video next month. The BBC adaptation of John Wyndham’s classic novel “Day of the Triffids”, out on 4th April and available [...]
Finding my review voice

Never mind. I have the titles of three draft reviews sitting just above where I’m typing at the moment [...]
Sky TV wins! Fatality!
We got our Sky installed yesterday and it’s nice to be able to watch TV without the snow for a change. Of course, I’ve now discovered the perils of 500+ channels after finding myself watching Mortal Kombat: Annihilation last night. What a disastrously poor film! Not that the first one was great [...]
Weight Watch ‘05: The first week
I, ahem, forgot to weigh myself on Monday. Which is probably a good thing as I think the beer and pizza over the weekend didn’t help matters. Seriously though, Wales got the Grand Slam – what did you think I was going to celebrate with? Green tea?
Anyway, my weigh in this morning [...]
The Dragon Roars Again!
We only gone and done it, boyos! 27 years of six nations pain leading to a climactic showdown against Ireland in the Millenium Stadium. The first time we’ve finished in the top three since Italy joined the championship and the five nations became six.
Despite an opening penalty score from Ireland, [...]
