Politics, News & Issues > News Industry Reading newspapers regularly: 1 of 15
I can honestly say that I have some real experience with today's subject. I've worked for more than one, so please don't doubt my knowledge. You don't doubt the fruit and veg knowledge of the cucumber brained checkout assistant in Sainsbury's, so please do me the same courtesy. Or I'll bash you.So which paper do you read? I'm... More..
Hobbies & Games > Video Game Reviews Downloadable game reviews: MasterKick: 1 of 11
I've often looked around for a game akin to Masterkick. And unfortunately for Industry Entertainment, I found it long ago. For free.On paper, the concept itself is a good one-You take on a customizable table football team and can compete in a way that simulates real table football as well as soccer itself. Unfortunately it's ... More..
Hobbies & Games > Video Game Reviews Downloadable game reviews: AutoCross Racing: 1 of 8
For some, video games are less a hobby and more a daily ritual. Those of us who grew up on Half Life, GTA, Gran Turismo and (let's be honest) the Pokemon series. And as a result, I love a world that lets me review games for money, I love coming online for find more games that I can get paid to play and write about. But all of... More..
Entertainment > Music Genres, Trends & Scenes The first time I sang karaoke: 35 of 121
We all remember our first kiss. We all remember our first real partner and I'll never forget my first car. But you know what, I'll also never forget the first time I got the stones to get up on stage and sing karaoke. I've done it a few times since and enjoy it without fail, but the first time will always stick out. It was at... More..
Entertainment > Movie News & Previews New films in development to check out: 2 of 6

Everyone that knows me personally knows how much that I love both books and movies. But when I began writing these columns at the start of the year, I told myself I would not write about either. I told that to a good friend and she laughed at me, she mocked me even, saying Of course you will, you great big lummox'To her I say... More..
Entertainment > Movie Awards & Nominations Characteristics of award winning fantasy films: 2 of 5

When reading on the subject of fantasy films, I am struck dumb. Not at the talent of my peers (though it often surpasses my own) but at the lack of feeling in their words. The sheer joy in works of fantasy are the waves of enthusiasm and fan boy love that bring them along. Who amongst us didn't see the ocean of queues that hi... More..
Home & Garden > Home & Garden (Other) Best things about spring: 21 of 40
On Daffodils a DaffingI'm in a decidedly good mood today. The sun is out, the blossom is uh, blossoming and I'm wearing shorts and flip flops for the third day running. I love this time of year, the clocks have gone forward so it'll be light out until eight and most of that time the skies are blue and the trees are getting th... More..
Health & Fitness > Sleep Disorders Insomnia stories: 6 of 8
On SleeplessnessnessI've always been generally quite a healthy bloke. Other than a couple runs in with some childhood diseases, which were mere frivolity and some ligament issues (Never play a game of rugby and then lift a fridge) I've escaped mostly unharmed. Oh I get man flu every Christmas, but that's just a given. I almos... More..
Food & Drink > Coffee Which is the better choice: Coffee or tea?: 22 of 27

Several of the counter arguements sum up exactly why I often prefer tea, and tea drinkers. With coffee, often comes pretension. The masses see coffee as a way of rebelling. It's alcohol-lite. I've lost count of the number of times I've heard one of the kids I teach, ask me if I want to go for a coffee. 'No', I'll reply, 'But ... More..
