Righty ho landlubbers. After decamping to Bournemouth for a week, we've ended up down in Devon as a) it's just down the road and b) my cousin's getting married Saturday.

This is good, especially as it means I get to go see The Pyrates again. Yup, on International Talk like a Pirate day, my mates Tim and David have booked their band a gig (I last ( Read more... )

My mate Mr Pink has just moved t'smoke and asks I can has social life?: Among the things I'd like to do as regards 'setttling in' is getting to know people, socialising, and generally doing stuff in London. Alternative music, general hanging out, geekery and gaming are the sorts of things I'm interested in ( Read more... )

Some random stuff. Point one.

So then. In 2002, I got an email from an obvious loon I'd never met. If he organised a warlord_ccg event in a climbing hall[4] in his home town, would I be interested in attending and bringing friends? Where's his hometown? Muenster, Westphalia (that would be as in 'Treaty of', possibly one of the most significant documents in, oh, world history?). I ( Read more... )

I'd heard many, many good things about Avenue Q, many of them from people on LJ. Having now been to see it? Opinion of this noted cynic: 2 thumbs up! Seriously, it's sharp, well observed, it has puppet sex and much much silliness. freddiefraggles had organised for us to go see it at the Noel Coward in the West End, and it was indeed great fun. I understand ( Read more... )

I have had a hectic weekend. I'll try to writ it up in parts but, well, exhausted but happy. Appears that davidnm and friends crossed over with myself and fracindy in visiting the Tate Modern Saturday evening by a matter of minutes, weird. Anyway...

linkfrenzy has a Doctor Who special,and the link drjon justifiably hasn't hyperlinked is well worth a visit ( Read more... )

So, right then, never did get around to that 'what I've been up to' post that LJ kept eating during the DDOS thing did I. So, a summary post, but first, a poll!
Poll Fixing things
( Thursday May 31st - Last day at work, lunch in Portcullis House, the Houses of Parliament )

tyrell gives us an interesting quote: When asked about the quality of television today he made a comment that "Nothing on TV has ever been as good as (the new) Battlestar Galactica."!
Who said that, you ask? Joss Whedon. The guy who made Buffy, Angel, Firefly. The one that Uncle Rusty is trying to copy, rather than learn from and build upon ( Read more... )

The odds of draxar and dainul not having noticed this already are small, but just in case, warrenellis.com » Blog Archive » TRANSMETROPOLITAN: Monoculture.

Yup, my mates design project just got picked up by warrenellis, who seems happy to see is. Külness. Well done Mr Pink.

Actually, might as well post these rather than mailing you. d_notice_fd moved to London just before I did ( Read more... )

OK, anyone paying attention will have seen me mention the awesome Radio4comedy that is oldharrysgame a few times, and I've linked to ginasketch's trailer for it before. but she's finally finished it, so go tell her how cool this is:
