The Buffy Wrap Party
April 30, 2003 | 2 Comments
Courtesy of a Millarworld thread on the subject of Buffy and Angel, I found a link to some photos from the Buffy wrap party.
Warning - it’s a long page with some *big* photos on it - depending on your connection, it could take a while.

Misheard
April 29, 2003 | 7 Comments
So I mentioned this evening that Matthew Perry is guest-starring in the episode of The West Wing that premieres in the U.S. tomorrow. And I got this stunned look which seemed inexplicable to me until I realised that what had actually been heard was “Matthew Kelly is guest-starring in The West Wing tomorrow.”

That Political Drama
April 29, 2003 | 3 Comments
As I haven’t talked about The West Wing in, ooh, it must be almost two weeks, I thought it was time. (Minor spoilers ahead.)
I was avoiding comment because I was feeling rather unhappy with the plot - but now, looking back at the arc represented by Bartlet For America, H.Con - 172 and 100,000 […]

A Perfect Fit

When I set up the categories for posts here that I mention occasionally, I set up one that gets the odd use, but not very much - ‘Just Plain Weird’. I thought it might come in handy for those odd links that one occasionally finds or is pointed towards.
Tonight, I offer, for your delectation […]

Well That Was Quick

Just before I crashed last night I heard a news item about an art theft from the Whitworth Gallery in Manchester, which is a very good gallery, by the way, should you ever find yourself with some free time in that part of town.
Anyway - as of about twenty minutes ago, the BBC are reporting […]

Travelled Man

What a great weekend.
Chris, Alison and I set off yesterday morning for the South coast. We were aiming for Bournemouth as a starting point, slightly worried about the weather forcast that said it was going to chuck down. In the event, apart from a brief shower late yesterday evening, the weather couldn’t have […]

Travellin’ Man

Gosh - I don’t get out of South East London for weeks and weeks, and suddenly I’m planning multiple excursions.
Heading down to the south coast tomorrow - though I gather the weather’s going to be crap. We may stay over if a suitable opportunity arises.
And the week after next I’m going to Italy for […]

I notice that they’re starting to hit.
The Guardian doesn’t rate it very much.
Empire rates it very highly.

Harsh But Fair

“Flying with Ryanair is a geography lesson. They go to places you can’t spell and have never heard of, and certainly don’t bear any resemblance to the destination advertised.”
I’ve commented before on the propensity for Ryanair flights I’ve taken not to land in the city most prominently advertised (Lübeck, not Hamburg, or Forli not Bologna, […]

Who On Earth Lives In Leamington Spa?
April 24, 2003 | 3 Comments
So, I’m just settling down to dinner when my phone rings - the number is one that I don’t recognise at all, so I leave it to go onto the voicemail. When I check after eating, however, whoever it is hasn’t left a message. Doing a quick check on the area code, I […]
