Happy Birthday Nintendo Switch!

It’s been three whole years since Nintendo debuted the Switch console, alongside the epic Breath of the Wild. It amazes me that, on Breath of the Wild, even after three years, I am still finding new things. I don’t know if I’ll ever uncover every secret the game holds. Anyway, in honour of the Switch’s […]

Dreams that tug at the heartstrings

For reasons I don’t quite understand, I had an emotional dream the other night, connected to my dear Nan. The dream was about a teddy bear, the first teddy bear, one that my Nan gifted to me when I was born. This bear was a cuddly ginger bear, so I called him Ginger Bear. I […]

Thirty Years…

It’s been a long time since my beloved Liverpool football club stood upon the top step of the English football pyramid. In fact, the last time they did so, I wasn’t even ten years old, and back then, football wasn’t really on my radar. Since then there have been teams with great potential and some […]

Addressing Dishonesty (Trek-related)

Sega’s mascot has been the star of a huge library of games, and whilst I haven’t played many of them, I found myself rather […]

Barmy Betelguese

It’s the left shoulder of Orion. It’s traditionally the 11th brightest star in the sky. It’s known to be a behemoth, weighing in around at least eight solar masses (possibly more), and it has a radius that puts it at least 900 times larger than our Sun. Betelguese is much younger than our own star, […]

Boris Johnson Employs Racists

Read through this article. It’s not just a racist the Tories appointed, but a misogynistic supporter of eugenics and class warfare. It’s most telling that the Prime Minister has refused to comment, given his previous racist and sexist commentaries. Why did we as a nation elect this man to lead the nation?

Don’t Buy the Sun

I have a number of reasons to hold the Sun newspaper in contempt. Their treatment of Liverpool fans in the wake of the Hillsborough tragedy was beyond appalling, and the city collectively decided that they wouldn’t stock the paper from then on, with most outlets continuing to refuse to do so even now. In fact, […]
