So after all the speculation and hoo-haa!, got to watch the Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy movie tonight.

Really enjoyed it, but it's different again to the radio and TV versions. Up until the destruction of the earth (not really giving anything away!) it's almost word-for-word the TV script, before flying off and finding it's own way.

Some dodgy SFX - Zaphod's second head;...

Is their any point in political campaigning? An election in two weeks, and everything is pointing to a similar result to the last two - big majority for Labour, some gains for the Lib Dems and the Conservatives finding something to rescue their pride with. I have not heard any arguement on any issue from any side that has made me reconsider any of my...

Quite the busy bunny at the moment - a lot of work on due to Election nonsense, and a pile of books, games and music to take in.

Nuff respect going out to the Urbz on Nintendo DS, Jasper Fforde's Something Rotten and Kirsty McColl's From Croydon To Cuba anthology - a greater collection of songs I've not heard for many a moon.

ah... Saturdays; some of you will be snuggled up in bed, others watching cartoons and sport. Me? I've been up since the early hours trying to make sure that I've got my backside covered at work in case of the inevitable cock-ups that will come with a day's worth of Royal live telly.

All things being equal - I'd rather be in the pub with...

cock cock cock! I let my guard down for 5 mins and I forgot that I the Royal wedding had been moved - I'm now working 7am - 7pm on Saturday. ARSEBISCUITS.

I am poorly too - some sympathy if you please...

Back from my holidays - refreshed and relaxed and raring to get back to work. not. As I was in Ireland the Pope's death was of course highly poigniant . I remember well someone looked up from their pint of Guniness and someone saying 'oh, I see the Pope's died then' and the outpouring - well, slight mumuring - of grief before everyone got back...

Snotty as fuck - not the way to spend Easter Sunday (ignoring the religious side of things, it's supposed to be a good day for stuffing your face; tricky if you can't breath)

New Dr Who made its official TV debut last night - loved it (and bollocks to all the n'ear-do-wells who are poo-poo-ing it). 2nd series is already in pre-production so it'll be...

So it's been a busy week of work and Nintendo, coupled with catching up with DVDs and books - been watching Clone Wars since the wee hours due to inability to sleep of late (usual nonsense - stress, worry, etc, etc.)

Spring has sprung in old London town - well it had, it's now chucking it down but it was really nice of the past...

DS finally arrived on Monday - hoo-haa-hip-hip-horray!

Sufice to say I have spent a good couple of days with the new Moby and The Bravery albums cranked up and my stylus scratching at Mario Ware Touched.

New Dr Who - thumbs up

Basement Jaxx: the singles - thumbs up

Nintendo DS - will have to get back to you on this one as the cunting postman as stolen it. possibly.

I really must update this thing more often - can you have belated New Year's resolutions?

Not that I've got much to report - been working like a dawg, saving up the pennies for the inevitable rainy day (and lots of games for the Nintendo DS - roll on Friday!!!)

As I never ask questions (nor answer them, but hey! that's me) here's one: What...

Happy St David's Day (No Welsh SG set? BAH! I bet we ger some oirish nonsense on St Patrick's Day, oh well! )

To celebrate I went back to the land of my fathers (and indeed, my dad) to watch the rugby at the weekend. Suffice to say - we kicked arse! (note to U.S. SG bods - Rugby is a bit like American football...
