Back and Blue

Yeah. So maybe titling my last “Red or Dead” and then not posting for a few weeks worried those of you out there with a sensitive disposition. Don’t worry, I’m not dead. Or if you were hoping I was, sorry, I’m still alive. (more…)

red or dead

So last night, after a series of unfortunate events, I ended up taking a big step, via the medium of being shoved. Yes, I became a man. But how did this happen? Read on, gentle reader… (more…)

Matthew's the one in the middle, fact fans.

Sorry about the lack of posts this week – it’s been a rum old time. But to make up for it, I’ve got a lovely treat for you today – an interview with comedian Matthew Crosby, one third of Pappy’s, one of Britain’s best sketch troupes. It’s funny stuff, and he wears glasses and is basically awesome. Read on, gentle reader… (more…)

I’m lying in the mud, full of fear. We could be going over the top at any minute. I look to my left and see 45 and 39. They’re just as scared as I am. Then the command goes out: “DELTA TEAM, MOVE!” (more…)

Run For Oxfam

Oxfam Royal Parks Half Marathon
The lovely people at Oxfam got in touch with me to ask if I wouldn’t mind flagging up the two races that they currently have places for.

The first race is the Royal Park’s Half Marathon.

The second is the Run To The Beat race, which features bands and DJ’s playing sets along the race course. Which actually sounds pretty cool. Admittedly, the biggest name last year was Bashy, and it pissed down with rain, but still.

Click the links if you’re interested in doing some fundraising. My Gran used to work at Oxfam, so I think it’s a pretty cool guy.

Ghostbusters' star Ernie Hudson signs some stuff. I didn't take this picture, but he was wearing the same t-shirt when I met him.

As a geeky sci-fi journalist, I get to do quite a few interviews with geek celebrities. But occasionally, for whatever reason, the interviews get spiked, and they never appear in the mags they’re intended for. So I thought it might be fun to post up a few of these lost interviews for your reading ‘pleasure’. First up is this interview with Ghostbusters star Ernie Hudson, better known as Winston Zeddmore. Stargate fans might want to pay attention… (more…)
