So the latest news going around town is that a Member of Parliament was looking at pornography while at work in the Commons. Obviously looking at porn in your place of work is not the smartest of moves, especially if you’re in public life. I suppose I’m also not surprised by the reaction, telling the […]
I was washing my car today for the first time. That’s not an interesting statement, but it is for me, because when I have cleaned my car in the past, it has either involved paying someone to do it, or using a machine. To the experienced observer my dilemma may sound incredibly funny, because cleaning […]
I’ve had a long history with the music of Tame Impala. I’ve had great trips and heaving gigs, decent merch and online experiences. The music is terribly memorable. Well, in theory anyway. I’ve been seeing Tame Impala’s face on the tube escalator as he’s trying to flog tickets to some gig in East London, but […]
So earlier in the month I was sketching out an investigation to find out who Banksy is, and the investigation is proving fruitful. Upon publishing my article, I was met with a demand to take down my post (voiced by the person who I think it is) with the threat of legal action. When I […]

I have a casual relationship with tennis. Sometimes when I have nothing to do, and Wimbledon is streaming on the BBC website, I may find myself becoming amused at the spectacle of two people hitting a ball back and forth to each other. Sometimes these games last for five hours, sometimes they can be over […]
Netflix is the quintessential subscription service. Inspired by traditional libraries, they put a monthly fee on it and got busy taking over the world of video content by producing many, many addictive television series and films. As a disruptive force to traditional premium content subscription services, at a price point even a student could afford, […]
If there’s one thing that bothers me as I sit on my sofa minding my own business on an intriguing Monday evening, it’s having to listen to my wife listening to some other bloke’s interpretation of reality on the television. Perhaps it’s some deep, instinctual sensation of competition kicking in my psyche, wishing to proffer […]
