Sherlock – A triumph in reimagination
An article I wrote for TVOvermind. Republished below. Steven Moffat does it again. Over the years he has achieved some remarkable television feats. Not only did he essentially sell his UK version of Friends back to the United States (as Coupling), write the best episodes of Doctor Who during the Russell T. Davies era and [...] -

World Cup’s best bits – Haircuts
In the Year 2010 you’d think they’d have learnt, but in the 40 years since the 1970 World Cup gave us the amazing Brazil performance and Bobby’s Charlton’s amazing head, the 2010 South Africa World Cup haircuts are coming in thick and fast! In an absence of regular entertaining games (those featuring Brazil and Argentina, [...] -

What I have learned of Britain’s politics

Off the back of a General Election where no one won, we now have a coalition Government of Conservative and Liberal Democrats with a new Prime Minister, David Cameron.

Whatever you do people of Britain, Vote.
Whatever you do today, please make sure you exercise your democratic right to vote. People died for your right, as an adult to be able to exercise your opinion and shape the future of this country.

Doctor Who vs the frigid virgins
Doctor Who tonight aired it’s fifth episode of the new Moffat era – “Flesh and Stone” – and with it’s final four minutes came yet another scene to allow the morality police of the Daily Mail readership types to rattle their well worn sabers. You see, at the end of this episode the Doctor’s companion [...]

Why I DO use a Registry Cleaner, Specifically this one
In response to an earlier front page story, which was flawed, Here are instructions on CCleaner and running its "Issues" scan. This scan does not delete DLL's as is the danger of the other scanners. It simply removes reg entries that are pointing at non-existent files. Speed is gained as the entries are all attempted to "load" when windows starts.1151 diggs in Software 48 months ago
