Cruising down to Bath a fortnight back, I saw some of the damage caused by the recent storms; lots of trees had been blown down. A couple had fallen right across the canal, preventing navigation, and had been dealt with fairly quickly by boaters and contractors. But there was still this ash tree, partially blocking the towpath at Murhill Wharf. It was still there the other day, when I was …

While working on the Moses "13 steps" article I happened upon a site I haven't seen before. It's called "Hurdles First". It has been created in 2004 by S. McGill a hurdles' coach who wished to share his hurdles passion with a larger audience. The site was revamped in 2013, and found a way to monetisation through the publication of a monthly magazine "The Hurdles Mag". The site gives a …

If I could travel back to 2006, I'd buy the full set of Bit Generations games on the Game Boy Advance. Twice.I'd also grab that Sega Wondermega that sat in Akihabara Trader's cabinet for ages. I'd probably try to prevent some wars or whatever too.The Bit Generations series was once far more reasonably priced than it is now. Accessible for even the most cash-strapped of GBA owner. You'd spot them …

Finally, some dry and settled weather! When the local rivers eventually started to fine down this week I dared to look forward to getting out again with the float rod. It had been a month since my last session and I was getting a bit desperate to wet a line. I'd normally be well into my winter grayling campaign by now, but it had hardly got off the ground with …

Good morning, Muse – what’s wrong? Something you saw last night is left in your hollow eyes; your colour’s bad, your cheeks are cold with horror, with madness! – and you don’t say a word.* Paul Theroux begins Sir Vidia’s Shadow as a work of fiction, only to interrupt himself: Wait, wait, wait. You know I’m lying, don’t you? This is not a novel; it is a memory. Both fiction …

Long time, no update. I feels like an age since I last wrote on my blog. I’ve struggled to find time among work and life in general. I now find myself ‘reset’ in a way, after having arrived in Sunny South Africa for a 2-3 month stay visiting family. This year I have a bunch of personal adventures on the cards, and I thought I would jot them down, similar …

I am feeling—not thinking—something so sad and so needy and as this feeling widens within me and begins to bubble at my edges, like the frothy tide, my hand jerks in reaction, toward the squareish tombstone of the keyboard where my fingers fidget over the plastic corners crusted with dust and begin then to speedily type out the name of that paradise where I can watch an unceasing parade of …

American Cover Sonic Rush Adventure is noteworthy for being the last unique handheld Sonic co-developed by Dimps, before they began making companion versions of the main games. It’s also noteworthy for being a shockingly ambitious sequel, keeping the same gameplay but placing it within a huge sea-faring adventure (inspired by director Sakae Osumi’s fondness for such stories) where you explore the ocean, fight pirates, and discover all sorts of things. …

For an introduction to the Carry Scenarios series, look here. You know two things that are really incompatible? Espada XLs and kid’s birthdays. Please don’t decide to show your allegiance to the Second Amendment cause by cutting food that comes in sheet form (sheet cake, sheet pizza, sheet of brownies) with a CKRT XOC. The weird thing is, despite the sensitive to scary knives, I have never been to a …
