postman pat

It’s just dawned on me that the hateful bastards in charge at Postman Pat PLC, have changed the the bloody theme tune. No longer is it “Postman Pat and his black and white cat”,no, it’s been replaced by a forgettable generic effort that washes over you like elevator muzak (hence why i just realised it […]

charlie brooker on “the wire”

I’ve just bought the first series. Can’t wait to dive in.

food poker

I just caught 5-minutes of BBC Two’s new afternoon show, Food Poker.
My conclusion?
Western Civilisation is fucked.

up since four

More of this. Knackered today. Watching Zombie Hotel. Don’t ask.

when you just know you’re not going to get anymore sleep, but you try anyway

tyger jnr. is two-and-a-half and has just begun coming into our bed in the night.
I suppose we’re very lucky that the boy hasn’t started this before now. But he’s always been prone to waking up at around six - just when a lie-in was in the offing. You lie there, slowly stirring to hopeful cries […]

sir alan’s gamble

The Apprentice is over. the teahouse chews the fat.

Clive on Brown

I would rather pull my teeth out with a pair of rusty pliers than support Gordon Brown. His coronation as Party Leader and Prime Minister will be a disaster for both Labour and the Country itself, his conduct and actions over the last 10 years showing just how ill-suited he is to any position of […]

Shorts

Busy, busy, busy!
I have a busy Bank Holiday weekend ahead. Tomorrow we will misguidedly take on the M1 and drive up to see some Russian friends in Leeds. We always get such wonderful food whenever we visit, so it’ll be a light breakfast at chez tyger in the morning.
Supposedly the traffic over the […]

You’re fired

You have to admit it. 10-minutes watching The Apprentice and you’re absolutely fucking convinced; capitalism is such a load of bollocks it’s unreal. Seriously. I’m all for choice and free markets. But this advertise-led, consumerist existence is just a Potemkin village. Yeah it looks and feels good - as long […]

Early night?

I don’t have Sky TV. So I can’t watch the Aussies take the Scots apart. I have to make do with the Guardian’s over-by-over coverage.
I used to have Sky, but I found spending every evening watching The Daily Show and South Park re-runs wasn’t good for me. So I cancelled my subscription […]

Feminism revisited

Don’t you get the feeling that slowly but surely, even among PC-obsessed lefties, that feminism is - and please do forgive the turn of phrase - losing its mojo?
I know there are still the militant feminists who prowl the pages of The Guardian’s Society supplement, and almost yearly a survey drags up the equality of […]

I have decided that really long post titles are really good, and much better than the pithy one-liners used by lesser blogs

Have you heard that Comedy Central’s parodic talk-show host, Stephen Colbert, is to be honoured with his very own Ben Jerry’s flavour? This is quite an honour for the man who so brilliantly humiliated President Bush at the White House Press Dinner last year.
In a statement, Colbert claimed the move was a victory […]

The Miligaffe

Of course it was a pretty daft mistake. In fact as far as QT gaffes go, it’s a classic, but of course certain elements of the blogosphere will attempt to frame the mistake as further evidence of the TB-GB schism and the end of David Miliband’s career. It represents neither. The other […]

Catching up with…

…The League of Gentlemen on BBC4. Forgot how piss funny this was.
UPDATE: 06/02/07 21:53 No, I had completely forgotten how god-damn funny this is. Funniest programme ever (on any channel, in any bloody country, ok?).
Hilary!

Nick Boles and THAT conflict of interest

It seems Tim over on Bloggerheads has uncovered a rather shady conflict of interest for London mayoral wannabe Nicholas Boles. An incestuous love triangle exists between Nick’s mayor of London campaign, Fox News lite 18DoughtyStreet, and a rather slippery Tory thinktank called Policy Exchange.
You see Nick is the director of Policy Exchange, and rather […]
