Ranting about how fucked up Scientology is is a little like teaching people to breathe – you just don’t need to do it (unless you’re Lindsay Lohan) But I’m going to because, well, it’s fucked up.
I have very few guiding principles in my life. Never cross the road when the green man is [...]

Quiet please. Labour in progress
The one with all the acronyms
Being a beardy gnome lover, I do like my D&D inspired RPGs (or CRPGs if you like as I never got into P&P based ones). I haven’t bought, ordered or played the latest RPG that the world and her dog seem to be raving about (namely, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion) but I am tempted [...]
Lord of teh Ringzors
Dan linked through to this very amusing video for a LOTR inspired song. I can see this being a number one hit in tourist traps across Europe this year.
They’re taking the Hobbits to Isengard
This reminds me to post a couple of other humourous LOTR related links.

Playing with matches.
I live in a village.
We have “customs”.
Some are new.
Some are old.
This is us burning a Wicker Man.
Visitors never seem to come back to our village*. I don’t know why.
*Lies. Complete and utter lies. We can’t get rid of the bastards.
A lesson learnt
My hands are a state. For those of you who were around last year, you’ll have seen some of the more extreme things I’ve done to my hands. I could never become a concert pianist (not least because I can’t play the piano) and after last year, I doubt I’ll ever be able [...]
Man Boobs
The rest of this post isn’t safe. I don’t mean NSFW (Not Safe For Work), I mean not safe. Generally. Not safe for your health. Not safe for a peaceful nights sleep. Not safe for your appetite.
Looking at the rest of this post will not enrich your life [...]
Two feet below the surface
Gah! I’ve just found some photos on Flickr which have depressed me. This is a pic of the Giannis D. in Egypt taken by this chap and I’m so impressed.
There’s something about using B&W film underwater which just changes everything about the picture. It’s better in some ways because you don’t [...]
What’s your pint?
I tried two new bitters over the weekend.
The first was Archers “Spirit of the Sea”, a seasonal beer only available this month. While it was reasonably strong (4.4% ABV), it actually looked and tasted quite light and had a sweet, caramel-ish after taste. Very pleasant pint.
Second was a pint of Bateman’s [...]
For the future, hope there is.
Newsflash: John Smedley, president of SOE, admits that there are problems with SWG and that they’re losing customers because of a fuck up on their part. In a bold move, Smedhead and his dev team actually communicated with the remnant of the player base on the official forums this weekend (with a massive 12 [...]
