Trailer Park
November 30, 2003 | 1 Comment
Thought I’d do a round up of some trailers for the first time in a while:
Check out Troy - that shot of all the ships is pretty damn impressive.
I’m somewhat intrigued by The Day After Tomorrow, having heard very little about it.
Annoyingly, having opened in the States last week, Gothika isn’t opening here until April […]

Long Week
November 28, 2003 | Comments Off
Obviously, no longer than any other really, but it’s felt long. Between a significantly increased commute and a generally busier schedule, there’s little time for stopping and thinking. My weekend is officially one of hermit-mode. Andreas, who we’ve visited in Germany a couple of times in the life of this blog, is […]

Just wanted to wish Dave and Mike a great holiday - two weeks in Thailand doesn’t sound too shabby, plus they get to see their dad in his new native surroundings. This is Dave’s first proper holiday in *years*, so I suspect he’ll be makong the most of.

Move Over, Trinny And The Other One
November 27, 2003 | 5 Comments
Longterm readers will be familiar with my attitude to the horrors that present BBC Two’s What Not To Wear, but I think I can safely say that they’ve finally been ousted as the two most arrogantly objectionable non-entities ever to con a BBC executive into giving them airtime.
Because I’ve now seen The Million Pound Property […]

Colour Me Stunned

So, after what was looking a lot like a fairly well-developed attempt to sideline him completely, Brian Paddick has been promoted. I’m both impressed and surprised. Is it possible that at least one major public body in this country is not completely at the mercy of hysterical knee-jerkers? It’s beginning to look […]

Busy Busy Busy

Just so everyone knows the reason for yet another period of semi-silence, I’m lacking a machine I can use at home for a few days, so blogging time is limited to work, and there’s not much of that spare.
In the meantime, as weeks go, it’s proving to be very interesting indeed. Being an employee […]

Gearing Up For The First
November 24, 2003 | Comments Off
I’ll be linking to this again next week as part of Link and Think, but I wanted to draw attention to the fact that once again, and as always, the BBC is leading the way in informing and reporting in a Have Your Say Special which includes a wealth of extra material.

Long Days….

….start here I guess.
New company….new way of doing things.
The opportunities here are huge, but the challenge is equally significant. All being well, we have a real chance to make a significant impact and continue to do the things we’ve been trying to do for the last few years. I’m uncharacteristically optimistic :-)

Moments Of Transition
November 23, 2003 | 1 Comment
So, this weekend is the pause between one job and the next, between being my own boss and being an employee, between the known and, frankly, the unknown and slightly daunting.
Everything has happened so fast for us all lately that I think that on some level we’re all still waiting for the other shoe to […]

40 Years Young
November 23, 2003 | 1 Comment
Well, as noted recently, Dr Who’s 40th anniversary has been looming, and today is the day. Forty years - slightly longer than I’ve been alive; I can’t ever remember not watching it or being aware of it, or indeed being a fan of it. So:
Favourite Doctor: Patrick Troughton - though poor old […]
