Stoke Newington Action

No Stokey action for several days now, stayed in last night, tonight going to Highbury Garage for *cough* some band *cough* because Corporation:Blend are supporting and a chum is involved in some managerial way...On the bus on the way in this morning...

Saint Rose

Missed Corporation:Blend last night, got to the Garage too late, but Saint Rose were the middle band on, and were quite MOR, but much better than King Adora... a poor mans Manics, when the Manics were a poor mans Guns'n'Roses......

Holiday reading

While I was away I read Matthew's Prize: Being the Tale of a Whitby Orphan Boy's Longing to Navigate the Broad Seas though I didn't know the title was so long at the time... it's about PIRATES, and it's quite good, if a bit of a blokey version of a m...

Pirates of the Caribbean is ace

Pirates of the Caribbean MISSTEAKS (and spoilers)

I thought of a few of things about the film - if "Bootstrap" Bill Turner was tied to an anchor and thrown into the depths after they'd stolen the cursed gold, then right up to the point where Will (Orlando Bloom) bleeds over the gold, his dad is out ...

Inspiration

Decided to sort out a work page today that was taking 15 seconds or so to load, that's not good! This is only on one project, and it's one I'm not working on any more, but it's still not good to know something I've written is so crappy... it's not hu...

Quizno's singing rats

Aha, from spotting slate.msn.com/id/2095868/ in the Popdex listings I know now why people were searching for quiznos rat pictures the other day, it's some sort of TV campaign, by Joel Veitch of b3ta.com and rathergood.com fame. That boy must be doin...

RE: Pirates of the Caribbean MISSTEAKS (and spoilers)

1) they turn into skellitons when they are in the moonlight, and are actually not breathing air, so there isnt any in their lungs. 2) jack folded the chain in two, then grabbed the other (folded) end with one hand. if you watch it closely you'll see....
