Your Face is an Advert

Mark is a 3rd year history student with strong and incredibly valid opinions on everything, especially music, film and tv. One day he would like to play ukulele, please.

What ho? A snickers advert which is actually clever and funny?? and it doesn’t even involve Mr T? Egads.

I’m impressed.  And for some reason I was routing for the little green people all along.  Well done whoever decided not to put an ageing ‘celebrity’ who no-one under the age of 25 can actually relate to, [...]

Good day, fair readers, salutations to one and all.
In my last post about ‘All the Small Things’, I made a point about how familiar all the actors are – a multitude of characters who’d been seen in various seasons of ‘Doctor Who’, Sarah Alexander of ‘Green Wing’ and ‘Coupling’ fame, and Richard Fleeshman who, correct [...]

oooh, massive excitements this morning – this may be old news to some of you, but i have just discovered a multi-artistic collaboration of 3 of my favourite people.
The whole story is documented at WHOKILLEDAMANDAPALMER.com but here is a mini-history for you
Amanda Palmer (of the Dresden Dolls – google them, youtube them, do everything you [...]

Today I bought the Leicester Mercury, our local paper – mainly for the job section, but also just to catch up on the small-town journalists opinions on life the universe and everything.
The article which particularly drew my eye was on page 15 (if you’re reading along with me), the ‘first person’ column, this week written [...]

Last night on tv I saw the 2nd episode of ‘All the Small Things’; a series about the trials and tribulations of a parish community and its competing singing groups and their members.  After the 1st episode last week i wasn’t sure if it was worth writing an “OMGTHISISAMAZING” style post, but after ep2, i [...]

According to microsoft, this is what the future will look like.
…so…covered in greasy finger marks then (btw, the first video is the montage, the 2nd video is the full 5 min version)
to be quite honest i don’t think they’re on quite the right tracks – consumption and consumerism are some of the main forces behind [...]

Good lord, Who’s that? Is it me? Have I really returned? Can it be true??
Yes, my dears, the rumours are all true, i’ve been reviewing the situation, come to my senses and decided that having fun writing for my dear favourite webzine is far more important and worth my time than studying – so we’ll [...]

Good Morning people, did you miss me yesterday? We decided that i should forfeit my Tuesday Media Mix for a Wednesday US Politics special, oooooh.
Now unless you’ve been far far away for the past 12 years or so, you’ll realise that whilst America is a long way away, it’s politics seems to have a profound [...]

The Great – Historical figures in Lego
If like me, your childhood was spent with many a happy hour building lego things, then the mere idea that lego people could represent current famous people, and historical figures will either appall you or amaze you – I was amazed – look at these!!

see also, such wonders as [...]

I thought seeing as my posts of late had been rather intellectual, well, for me anyway, I’d get back down to some good old fashioned perving.  The hot topic of the BBC at the mo is Merlin the wonderboy, so i thought i’d plunder it’s briny depths, and show the world my pick of the [...]
