Premiership Websites
There’s something wrotten in the state of Premiership websites. It seems that a number of them have been taken over by a company called Premium TV. Indeed their website claims that they run over 80% of Premiership and Football League websites, and that’s where the problem lies. I’m sure that they’re able to use the…

Party Tickets
So as the book thing in the top left hand corner says, I’m currently reading “The Way We Live Now”. There was an excellent passage I was reading on the way home last night, detailing how 200 tickets to a dinner that Melmotte was giving to the Emporer of China were to be allocated. It…

The Hutton Inquiry
The Hutton Inquiry is underway, and it has a website. The evidence so far is interesting. It’s difficult to see which way it’ll go.

Spooks
The final episode of Spooks aired last night on BBC1 after I was made to wait a week (since the preview episode thing doesn’t apply to final shows). The first series ended with a big does she/doesn’t she die in the explosion cliffhanger. As it turned out she didn’t, but another bomb elsewhere in London…

US Sports Talk TV
NASN – the North American Sports Network – has recently been added to the Telewest Digital universe, and I believe we’re getting it free on a temporary basis before they attempt to charge me a tenner a month. In the meantime, I’m dosing up on baseball and the like. I could go off on a…

Join Me
Join Me is one of those internet things (well not strictly internet) that passed me by. What a terrible thing. I like to think that I’m ahead of the game with this stuff, but nope – I had no idea about any of it, until I read something about the book somewhere. I tried not…

Premiership Football
The BBC has won back the Premiership highlights from the season after this for three years. Well they can’t do a worse job than ITV have done. In fact ITV are going to be a bit short of football come the 2004/5 season since their Champions League is being reduced with the advent of Sky’s…

Mobs and Communities
Yesterday was London’s first Flash Mob. I suspect that this will be a short lived concept. The idea is that you’re given some instructions about meeting somewhere around town. At the given venue, you meet a contact who hands you further instructions in the form of a small piece of paper. With very precise timings,…

Embers
I got this book for two reasons. 1) it was advertised quite heavily in the national press, and anyone who says that it doesn’t work is deceiving only themselves, and 2) I read an interesting piece about it in The Guardian Review a few weeks back, which recommended it. The book was first published in…

Blake’s 7
Blakes 7 to come back according to it’s website. With my finger on the pulse, I heard about this the other day, but forgot to mention it. I’d love to say that I have mixed feelings as many of the Slashdot lot have, but I don’t. I’d love to see it return. I own all…

Yellowface/All The Lovers In The Night
Yellowface by R F Kuang I first came across R F Kuang with last year’s very enjoyable Babel, an alternate history of the British Empire told in a world where magic exists and is controlled by an elite group of individuals. Yellowface is very different, but no less enjoyable. It’s a book about books, and…
