Cher Lloyd every time I see her I think that she is a brilliant next version of Gwen Stefani but she does not really have the beauty. She is a bit like lady [...]

I have a unusual dislike of the megabudget films like Ironman. I’m a self confessed nerd, but simply hate the fact that they can throw massive amounts of money at some of my most beloved comic book heroes, throw any kind of half-arsed story written by a 5 year old in there and chuck it [...]

Wow, the lineup for Radio 1’s Big weekend is usually pretty terrible, but there is usually at least one artist that appears on the list that I would want to see. Not this time.
I find it quite difficult to put into words how much I dislike Dizzy Rascal, the little cretin has been vomiting his [...]

One of the more impressive things I’ve seen on the net in a while is the news that a record breaking beer mat house has been created (and subsequently destroyed).
Over 250,000 beer mats were used (but not harmed) in the construction of this beer mat house. The house included chairs, tables, furniture, beds all pain [...]

We went into a bar called Tantra for a couple of drinks. It’s by far and away the most pervy place I have ever been outside of a strip club. The Girls in there may as [...]

A Scottish brewer has just launched a line of beer called “sink the Bismark” that is a whopping 41% alcohol. This (rather lethal) beer is meant to be enjoyed “responsibly” and costing £40 I can’t imagine it becoming a serious problem.
The tongue-in-cheek brewer “BrewDog” has previously been branded as irresponsible for brewing an 18% beer. [...]

TV 21 in Manchester’s Northern Quarter is a great bar to start off a night.. I love the theme and the giant, life sized alien model in the corner of the bar. It’s funny how much little additions like this can really make a place stand out.
The playlist seems to get a little repetative, I’m [...]
