I’m not here to type this. You’re not there to read it. Nothing exists anymore. Literally nothing.
The Large Hadron Collider was fired up earlier this week. This wasn’t really that big a deal, but some barmy Americans decided that it was going to end the world. They took the owners and scientists responsible for the [...]

Q. So, who are you anyway?
We are The Upbeat Glass Smash! Or ThUGS for short. Anonymity - I can’t decide if that’s good or not - works for Daft Punk doesn’t it? …..Although they have names don’t they? The Upbeat Glass Smash started firstly with the purchase of the popular ‘music series’ on the Playstation and [...]

What goes around comes around. In the late 90’s we were subjected to a plague of ‘fashionistas’ (flash or what?) telling us that the 70’s were like, so in man, and that we should resurrect loon pants and Huggy Bear style platform shoes, with goldfish in the soles.

Rocky Balboa. Bit docile, short on words, and not even technically a boxer. More like a slightly animated punch bag. All of Rocky’s fights were won (and lost) on the basis of him having the shite beaten out of him, and then either losing on points or climbing the ropes in the last seconds of [...]
