Taking the Mickey Ds
Read post

Over the last couple of weeks I have become unaccountably interested in baby development. This interest is liable to lead the unwary into a world of paranoia and guilt (particularly when accompanied by a vested – and babygro’ed – in[…]

Nuked With The New
Read post

A quiz: name this Marvel Comics crossover event.
An incident – caused by the irresponsible use of superhuman powers – has caused massive loss of life, public outcry and led to swift government action. Many people with superhuman abilities[…]

Lytton Ewing vs the Lollards of Pop
Read post

Like the rest of the British nation the Ewing family sat around their wireless listening to the inaugural Freaky Trigger radio broadcast on Resonance FM. Obviously I thought it was grand, but here in full are the reactions of England’s newest g[…]

Read post

Category: Railway

James? James? Anybody?
Read post

Someone at football focus is clearly a great big John Hughes geek (like me). Meg was watching it earlier today and i heard the strains of “please please please let me get what i want” starting a piece about David James. Given that James[…]

THE ADVERT CALENDAR OF ADVENT: 8: Irn Bru
Read post

I have to make a confession. I haven’t actually seen this ad on the TV. I can’t remember seeing many Irn Bru ads down south for a while actually, and I guess the sugary pop market tends to advertise when they can hit the kiddies rather th[…]
