I've had a pretty crappy last couple of weeks. Work is doing my head in, I've been full of cold and in about six weeks I might not have a job. I haven't seen much of my mates, because they've been working and I continue to get screwed over by the rubbish poker software at ladbrokes (but I appreciate thats my fault for continuing to play).

During the opening scene of The Machinist, two things become apparent very quickly. Firstly, its lead actor, Christian Bale is a long way away from the well-built healthy appearance he showcases in both “Batman Begins” and “Equilibrium”. Having lost 40lbs (Just under three stone) for the role, Bale looks a sad skeleton of a man, haunted, broken and unwell. As the camera pans out around Bale’s

I forgot how addictive jigsaws can be, particularly when they're in 3D (yes you have to build the sides and the top) and they're in the shape of a famous diminutive Star Wars Droid (Mission?

So I bought Paul's PS2 at the weekend and went to Game to pick up a couple of titles on pre-owned. I bought Star Wars Episode III as I'm a big fan of the series and it looked like a good laugh. Within 15 hours I've completed the game. I'm not sure how developers of games can justify charging 40 quid (which this was when it was released) for a game that is going to entertain someone for less than

1). STOP GAMBLING. Bit of a rollercoaster on this one. Won loads of money after new year, then spent it all back (and a bit more). Have taken steps to ensure that I can't gamble online any more - unfortunately this means I can't play poker either :o(2). LEARN TO DRIVE. It's just not happening at the minute guys.

So, the alarm went off at 6am this morning and I had to go to work. Ended up in the pub yesterday evening with Burt, The Gregster, Mikey, Phil and Tony. Some comedy conversations ensued including: 1). Which Leeds United legends would be characters in Predator (Billy Bremner as Dutch, Jackie Charlton as Billy). 2). Phil "kicking someone through a wall". 3). A shocking revelation which shall remain

My World of Warcraft character has disappeared! Considering that I spent about a week hitting level 17, I'm going to have to borrow one of Burt's phrases for this post. YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!

I was going to do this post last week, but wanted to see if Burt did it first as he has more of a right than I do. I want to pay respect to Leeds for the match they played last week against Wigan. It's hard to explain how I split my allegience when it comes to football teams. I was brought up with Rugby so never really had the football interest until I lived with Burt.

Cheers to Burt for sparking the idea on this one. Things I need to try and do in the New Year (and their likelihood of success). 1). STOP GAMBLING. This is an important one and Burt knows the full extent of why. I'm going to try to stick to a couple of quid on the bandits and England matches. This will be really hard for me but I have to try.

So, I've just finished watching this on box office for which, I paid £2.99.In case you're reading this review in a hurry, I'll summarise the main points: 1). A thin plot stretched so outrageously past the realms of "believable" it makes Cinderella seem like gospel - Check. 2). Stock, cliched character set - Check.

At 4pm today I sat down to play my 2nd online poker tournament through the Coral Poker software. I finished playing 5 minutes ago and finished 6th out of 760 players. For those of you who play Texas Hold Em, I went all in on two pair (kings, queens) and got out drawn by someone with a straight (10 to ace). Damn good game and not too shabby with the result. Will definitely be playing the next one

I sat and watched FF7: Advent Children the other night and I have to say that its very very good. If you've played Final Fantasy VII (And lets face it, if you owned a PS one, you will have) you will be on familiar ground with this slick CG presentation.

I watched Constantine on box office last night (without falling asleep this time Burt) and I was quite impressed. Throughout all the discussions I'd had with Burt and various other people about the film, none of us had mentioned that Rachel Weisz was cast opposite Reeves and that was a nice bonus to a quality film. Don't know why, but the sound seemed a bit unbalanced when I watched it, so I

As I'm writing this, the England Vs N.Ireland match is drawing to a close and at last look we were losing 1-0 to an (in fairness) excellently struck David Healy goal. This cannot continue.

The bookies have got England as 3rd favouries to win the World Cup behind Brazil and Argentina. We're listed at 7-1, which in fairness is quite short odds. I've got to say that with Frank Lampard and Gerrard in midfield (who, arguably are the best two midfielders in the world at the minute) I think we've got a decent chance (as long as we don't play James in nets).

Now then... I told you this site was clean. Not an ounce of porn to be seen anywhere (more's the pity). Would have thought you'd have valued the excitement anyway - you'll be married soon :) Footy league posts are the two below this one. Feel free to read the rest of the site and have a look at the archive on the right hand side. There's stuff in there that dates back to when we were both at the

I got told off on Friday night for not doing a post on my site for two weeks (and quite rightly so). So... here's a round up of what's been happening since I posed the all important "Bond question" (some good responses to that by the way). Work: Work has been "interesting". Half of my team have been getting themselves into trouble and then having the audacity to be surprised when I catch them.

MTV Base:The righteous outlet of a creed that has faced generations of oppression and the voice of the often overlooked black community's dreams and fears, or, an endless tirade of dreary bass backed anti-songs which do little other than reinforce the stereotype that all black (or African/American if you prefer) people are womanising, drug trafficking ganglords (if you're a male) or loose

I found out this morning that one of my parents dogs, who, I've watched grow up for nearly ten years, had to be put down this morning.She'd been ill for a couple of weeks and it was widely acknowledged that the heat, which I was basking in to get a tan, pretty much finished her off.Sad news indeed.Whether you're a dog person or not (and I am) you would be hard pushed to deny the joy which dogs
