Yes, eight months! That’s how long it has been since my last post. Since I started my new job, in fact. So, what’s been happening since I last put fingers to keyboard? Well, not a fat lot to be honest, at least in terms of hobby stuff. I think I managed to finish a few ..read more

First post for a while, and I’d like to say I have plenty to talk about because the last two months have been full of hobby stuff… …I’d like to say that, but alas, it would not be true! There has been a smattering here and there. The odd game played and even one or ..read more

I haven’t played a whole lot of games over the last year for one reason or another, but I’m happy to say that this one has hit the table. To be honest, though, it’s a game crying out for expansions, which I’ve yet to add. It seems that the one we (Okay, think mostly Yasmin ..read more

The concept album. ‘THE’ concept album, Pink Floyd’s The Wall, probably the best known of them all, and boy, does it deliver! The Band’s eleventh studio album tells the life of ‘Pink,’ a depressed rock star who’s mental health deteriorates to the point of him building a wall in his mind, the bricks metaphors of ..read more

I’ve had about six or seven games of Summoner Wars and so I thought it was time to share my first thoughts of what could be described as, Magic with a board! Okay, let’s not get carried away, it’s nowhere near as complicated as Magic, what with its unprecedented choice of cards and equally numerous ..read more

An absolute classic album. Released in 1985, Brothers In Arms became the first album to sell a million copies on CD and gave Dire Straits a 14-week run at number one in the UK album charts. It features three UK top 20 singles, two of which broke the top 5, Money For Nothing and Walk ..read more
