I’ve not watched much Celebrity Big Brother this time around, as usual it’s become extremely over the top and feels almost scripted (as in the housemates, obviously BB has a script!) One thing they have done this time around though is actually get a couple of people who can actually be classed as celebrities. I … Read More “What a line up – and now Ivana Trump!

NASA uploaded an image today of Great Britain from space as of 11:50 UTC today, it’s a truly remarkable picture showing just how much it has snowed here. For anyone not from the UK, snow like this has not hit Britain for over 30 years, hence all the hoo-haa about. It looks beautiful though, although … Read More “Snowy Britain – NASA Terra image” »

It’s Christmas Eve, so here are some festive lolcatz to tide you over the next few days.
We went to see St Trinian’s 2, the Legend of Fritton’s Gold on Sunday in Bradford at Cineworld. It was fun to watch, but sadly, it was definitely a sequel, it failed to live up to the sheer audacity and stupidity that St Trinian’s 1 offered. I’m not saying it was terrible, far from it, … Read More “St Trinian’s 2 – Good, but not that good” »
