It’s been a few days since I posted anything here, so time to catch up on what’s been happening since the weekend. Friday night didn’t involve much, I got a text asking me if I wanted to go out for a quiet drink but since she was on the other side of Manchester to me, […]
Who to vote for?
With just over three weeks left until polling day, I’ve been thinking long and hard about which political party deserves my very first general election vote. Problem is, running through the list of potential candidates, I find myself disagreeing strongly with all of them.. Labour Not a chance in hell, I’m not voting for a […]

Film day
After a couple of setbacks, Kirk, Rachel Ed and I finally managed to get our long awaited film night/day organised for this afternoon. Instead of holding it at our house, we went to Kirk’s instead, which probably turned out to be a good decision in the long run because it’s a bit more central as […]
So cold
I’m back in Bury for the moment to deliver my sister’s birthday present, seeing as I forgot to take it on Tuesday when I went into town with Kirk. I can’t believe how cold it is this side of Manchester, we’ve had snow falling today and it’s freezing outside (as well as in here, because […]
Seven deadly sins
I saw this courtesy of Kate on my friends list and I haven’t done a meme in a while so here goes… ANGER 1. Who did you last get angry with? I honestly can’t remember, some people have annoyed me recently but I haven’t jumped up and down and yelled at anyone for some time. […]
Happy Easter
I know this is several days behind (mainly because I’ve been busy as of late) but a belated Happy Easter to everyone anyway, to those of you who celebrate it (or indeed don’t, because we get a bank holiday as well which is always good). So, what have I been up to since we finished […]
Constantine
Last night I headed off to the AMC in Manchester to see Constantine with Cez, Jon and Lucy. As we were going up to the second floor, we also bumped into Chris T, who I don’t usually see more than once in a blue moon. Upon entering the screen, I was a tad annoyed to […]
Of illness, films and Linux
Last night Rachel, Kirk and I decided to go to the cinema to see some films before we all went home for Easter. The first one we went in for was the animated film Robots. As expected, this was a family Easter feel good experience, and for me at least it didn’t disappoint. There were […]
Monday at Warped
Its Monday night, it’s just gone 11am, it’s Warped at the Burlington! (or rather was). As usual I have just returned from the antics of the notorious science fiction society. Rachel decided not to go this week (being sensible and deciding to do lab work instead) so I left on my own. Upon arrival I […]
