Whilst trying to look for an apt clip from Dogma to show one of it’s finer moments I happened to stumble across the phenomenon which was the hate mail received by the producers of the film before it was released.

I find this a bit of an injustice in the UK, us smokers are being targeted like criminals. Apparently it would be poor taste to show gruesome injuries on a child who’s been hit by a car but it’s perfectly fine to plaster every pack of cigarettes in the land with detailed pictures of diseases and cancers all of which they proclaim as being linked to smoking despite it being phenomenally difficult to actually pin down which carcinogenic caused what.

For some reason I’ve been struggling to find a format for media that I want to share with people. I always manage to work things like film quotes or lyrics into conversations, sometimes unknowingly, and I figured I really could do with having a place to both share my favourite tracks, quotes and clips but also so perhaps others can comment, things to store next to those memories… things to recall later (okay so maybe I’m feeling a little sentimental okay?).
So please do checkout the Music and Great Quotes pages. I can’t promise they’re suitable for everyone But I like them none the less… I’m irreverent like that.

Most who know me know I frequent forums. Usually I have a favourite which I visit more than the others, usually exclusively. However I now find myself nipping into old forums cause people said hello when I went to add the site to my password manager. The thing is not one of them grabs my interest.

Okay so like three years, or something like that, ago I bought a Saitek Gamers keyboard and a Logitech G5 Mouse. Since that time I’ve been trying to find upgrades. It’s not that either are bad, quite the opposite, the keyboard is uncomplicated by anything more flashy than lit keys and the actual action of the keys is delicious. Possibly the best keyboard I’ve ever typed on. The mouse was much the same as it glided over my desk, was reassuringly heavy (after I’d added all the heavy weights to it’s insert) and the DPi selection was a great boon to gaming. No the reason I kept looking for replacements was that both are bland. They lacked that certain something to raise them from good solid components (ie “nothing wrong with one of those”) to something that I felt was more… me.

Those that read here regularly (yes both of you) know of my trials with my desktop. It is both the pride and bane of my life either working like a dream or crashing with maddening regularity. Well here’s a news flash, not only am I blessed with it working but it’s overclocked to boot!

Okay so I committed a cardinal error. Never, no matter what you think or how clever you are, buy footwear off the internet.
I was all smart, I got a recommendation for a specific make of boots. This was a guy who used to be a squaddie. Used to tramping across fields and around drill squares all day long. So surely if he says these things are the mutts nuts then he should be a good source of information right? Read More
