So, after banking on a sure-fire win, the Tories are left reeling from a Labour revolt that’s stunned the nation and sent a very clear message to the people in power – don’t ignore us. The Tories lost 12 seats, whilst Labour gained 29 – a clear swing toward the opposition. In fact, it left us […]
Welcome to one of F1’s best-loved venues. The Canadian Grand Prix is held in spectacular scenery and the atmosphere tends to be one of the most exciting, whilst the high-speed track with several fast, slippery corners usually makes for some dramatic and exciting racing. The track, named after the late, great, Giles Villeneuve, should provide […]
It’s been a while since I’ve done this, and I know you are trembling with anticipation, having waited so patiently. Here is the latest round of exciting site statistics! Ok, so maybe it’s not that exciting, but here goes anyway… I’ve noticed a bit of a trend in 2017. My Star Trek vs Star Wars […]
I think this sums up how a lot of Switch owners feel, given Nintendo’s Pokemon announcement earlier today… I mean, come on. The Switch is the perfect platform for Pokemon, and not the stadium games, but the actual, proper, ‘gotta catch ’em all’ games. Instead, Nintendo are re-releasing previous versions on the 3DS… I mean… […]
It’s June, we are officially in Summer, and what do we have? Rain. Lots of it too. It’s torrential and it’s terrible – what happened to the sunshine?! Nothing but rain clouds makes meerkats unhappy!

From the NASA link: The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is extremely […]
One of the things I would dearly love to do is write a proper novel, be it historical, sci-fi, action, drama – I’d love to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) and produce something worthy of being published. The trouble is, I know myself, and I am my own worst enemy in these […]
Wow. It’s hard to fathom but on this day, seven years ago, I became a father. I still vividly remember the day she was born, hearing her cry and getting to hold her in my arms. My world changed forever that day, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Nothing screams prestige and glamour quite like Monaco, and nothing manages to be both exciting and processional as the Monaco Grand Prix, that sees twenty cars hurtle at high speeds down narrow streets, through tunnels, and around sharp, snappy chicanes. There’s the thrill and drama of seeing cars skirt with barriers, with the drivers pushing […]
Slowly but surely the spectre of the unthinkable is moving closer and closer. The Conservative Party has been forced into an embarrassing U-turn on social care policies, and they have misled us on plans for NHS and school funding. There is a slow but steady march toward privatising the NHS too – the impact of […]
I keep finding myself utterly unable to write, like I want to, I am trying to find blog post inspiration, but I just can't.
