The most maligned trailer in history – that’s been an unwanted element to the build up to Ghostbusters, and the reasons behind the intense negativity toward this film have been the subject of much debate. The backlash against an all-female lineup of Ghostbusters appears to have been the main driving force behind the dislike for […]
Quoted from here: Imagine there is a belief system that allows you to get away with any mistake you have ever made and promises you not only freedom from any negative consequences, but accolades and rewards as well. No matter what you do, this belief system will be always ready to swoop down and defend you […]
I recently discovered a very entertaining blog called The Captain’s Speech. If you don’t already follow it, please check it out, it’s brilliant! The author, Paul, recently undertook a mammoth task of writing letters to people who requested it of him. Given he has well over a thousand followers, I will for once be grateful […]
Today is ‘E’, and the only band or singer to pop into my head is Ella Henderson (though as I type, Ellie Goulding also pops in there). I’ve only actually heard two Ella Henderson songs – ‘Ghost’ and ‘Glitterball’, and I only actually like ‘Ghost’, but since she’s the only artist I can think […]
D stands for Duran Duran – who I often confuse with Spandau Ballet.
So am email appears on the work emails saying ‘throw your own crayfish party’. Um… I don’t think fish like to party. They prefer more sedate gatherings.
I already wrote a post discussing my personal experience during the #IAmAFeminist Twitter trend. However, I’d now like to point out some of the double standards I discovered (none of which were any surprise, but something that warrants highlighting, even if only to point out the despicable behaviour exhibited by some). Whilst I will admit […] […]

Therefore ‘Daily Fail’ is a much better name for the paper. I could go into great length, covering a great number of articles […]
A band or artist that beings with ‘C’. Christina Aguilera. She was a product of the same Disney club that gave us Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. Often seen as a ‘rival’ for Britney, the truth is, Christina has a very different voice (a much stronger voice if you ask me) and tends to […]
He was weary. He wanted to holster his sword for the final time and walk away. After so many trials, and so many monsters, was it fair to have come so close to rescuing Zelda, only for one final act of defiance from the twisted Ghirahim? The personification of hate and rage stood before him, […]
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...
Ever since I was a cub, I have generally speaking been fond of swimming. I don’t do it often, but when I do, I enjoy it. I consider myself a reasonably confident swimmer, and I have few qualms about going out into the sea when at the beach (well, when I’m somewhere warm, with clear […]
