Poem – ‘If I Was an Astronaut!’

Several years ago I decided that I’d write a book of childrens poems. It started off well enough but due to having a short attention span I only managed to write a few! (Although I do intend to go back and write more one day!) Anyway here’s one of my first attempts at a childrens poem.

Happy Mother’s Day, mum!

Well seeing as it’s that time of the year again and I’m not at home to get my mum some flowers or chocolates or anything, I thought it’d be a good idea to write her a special Mother’s Day post instead!

From the moment I heard about this movie, I had a sneaking suspicion House Hunting was just going to have the obvious plotlines, predictable ‘scares’ and the standard two-dimensional characters. How right I was.

Movie review: Hitchcock (2013)

Hitchcock is an engaging biopic focusing on Alfred Hitchcock’s wavering relationship with his wife Alma as he struggles to make Psycho, the defining movie of the director’s career, earning him the title ‘the master of suspense’.

Poem – ‘What Is It All About?’

A thrusting, audacious and cutting edge poem dealing with life, death and everything inbetween, asking questions that we were all thinking but daren’t ask. And by asking questions that we were all thinking but daren’t ask I mean questions that no one was thinking to even think about asking. Actually looking at it in the cold light of day it just asks more questions than it answers really. Like the ramblings of a madman.

Female Bloggers from a Male Point of View!

It is an established fact that the world of blogging is primarily dominated by girls/women, many of them blogging about things that they think that other girls/women care about. But as a man, trawling through the abundance of ego stroking blogs by women provides equal amounts of amusement and annoyance.
