Favourite Season Finale Cliffhanger! This is easy. Best of Both Worlds ended season 3 of TNG on an incredible note. Captain Picard had been captured and assimilated by the Borg. The Borg ship was on its way to earth, intent on wiping out humanity, and the crew of the Enterprise had one chance to stop […]
Before I begin in earnest, lets post the conversation I had over at a site called ‘Stefs Cave‘. My posts will be in green, theirs will be in pink. Good afternoon, I think both MRAs and MGTOWs (to be honest, they are very similar in a lot of respects) are pushing back against something that […]
Welcome back Germany! Last season F1 missed off this iconic location due to financial disputes – in 2016, the racing returns to one of its most historic venues – Hockenheim. The track itself is much-changed from its earlier incarnations. At one point the track was over 4 miles long, stretching deep into the forest, […]
For a little while I used to regale my readers with ‘site stats’. Little updates and the like. I stopped doing this ages ago, but I thought it might be interesting to revisit the idea, at least once in a while. Some interesting tidbits: In 2015 my site had 4,222 views. So far in 2016, […]
Day 27 is ‘best special effects’. There have been a lot of FX in various genres that can best be described as mesmerising, albeit for different reasons. The work across the various Star Trek shows could be considered ground-breaking for their time, and the FX used on action shows like Spartacus deserves a mention for […]
Favourite sci-fi show! Now we’re cooking. Where do I begin?! There’s the venerable Doctor Who, with the mysterious figure of the Doctor and his adventures. There’s Babylon 5, which delved into mythology in a clever way. There’s Stargate SG1, one of my all-time favourites. The winner though, is the Star Trek show that broke the […]
For the past two years the Hungarian Grand Prix has spoiled us. In 2014 Daniel Riccardo won an absorbing contest with a late move on Fernando Alonso. A scintillating race in 2015 saw Sebastian Vettel take a memorable and emotional victory in the first race held after the loss of Jules Bianchi. Would 2016 offer […]
So, just who is my favourite TV show cop? A good question and one I am struggling to answer. I wish I could define Sherlock as a cop, but he’s a private consultant! Gene Hunt of Life on Mars is a ‘unique’ character but I don’t think I can call him my favourite. I’ve never […]
Misogyny, Misandry and the Reactionary Right
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
This meerkat gets nervous about a lot of things. In an upcoming Prompt, I’ll talk about tardiness, and that sort of overlaps with this. Picture the scene. It’s a busy London station, and you’ve just bundled off the Tube, and up to the main concourse. You vaguely know when your train is, but you’re in […]
