Bond New and Old
Tuesday, September 25th, 2007I picked up the DVD of Casino Royale at the weekend and watched it for the first time since seeing it at the cinema. Definitly still the best bond for a long time, hope they keep their nerve with the next one. Watching it again I was able to pay more attention to the sound […]
Are they trying to tell me something? Or is Life Complicated?
Saturday, September 15th, 2007There was a letter through my front door this morning addressed to Mr Pizza Lover. Junk mail from Domino’s Pizza (a national chain of pizza shops) announcing their new outlet near here. The leaflet says Save Over £176.37 (the 37p is a nice touch although I’d say rounding it to £176 isn’t going to make […]

Marion Raven – Set Me Free
Friday, June 29th, 2007My copy of Marion Raven’s album Set Me Free came from Amazon last week but in all the excitement of the week end I didn’t get round to blogging about it. A good mix of different style and even the tracks I didn’t like at first are growing on me. Her sound isn’t ground breaking […]

Sunday, June 3rd, 2007Just back from watching Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, the second part of the two part follow up to Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Enjoyed it. Plot was twisty and did some interesting things with the characters. Great action sequences. Interesting characters. I would have liked more Chow […]
Sunday on Monday Evening
Monday, May 28th, 2007Its taken me most of today to get to this which given today was a rather gloomy bank holiday it shouldn’t have. I split yesterday between wxPython in Action, Boston Legal and Mambo. Mambo in some ways was the easiest of the three as I got it up and running with only two references to […]
