Reviews, Blog, and the occasional Rant
Ok, I’ll keep this brief. Like the trailer. #sherlocklives pretty much explains what it’s all about. We knew that anyway as you see him at the end of the final episode of season 2. The big shock here is Martin Freeman’s/Watson’s facial hair.
Mrs Word of Ward and myself were a bit mental in that we went in October. Most of it is in September, but the Bavarians obviously decided Septemberfest sounded stupid. I highly recommend going mid-week because it can get ridiculously busy at weekends or holidays.
The Southbank also has a place for skateboarders which has been there since I was a kid. It has been there for forty years.
A friend just posted this on Facebook. It’s basically a map that shows what will happen if the sea levels rise.
When I was a nipper in the early 80s I was addicted to my Game and Watch collection. Whenever I was forced out of the flat and my away from … Read More
Finding Bigfoot or being able to levitate or seeing a ghost (when you haven’t coincidentally just woken up) would be amazing and make the world much more interesting. But sadly a tiny bit of research from a purely subjective point of view shows them to be rubbish.
This is pretty damned funny. I can only assume the people involved were brought up to speed afterward or they will now be gibbering wrecks curled up under their beds.
One thing that most bloggers do seem to agree on is that inconsistency is bad.
I love Germany and am massively looking forward to schnitzels, sausages, sauerkraut, litres of beer, and a transport system that actually works. Ignoring a couple of unpleasant World Wars, the Brits get on pretty well with the Germans.
I have been working a lot recently, which is a shame as work is officially bad for you (probably). It’s certainly detrimental to your brain when you work in the TV industry and have to work on kids’ TV channels for twelve hours in a row. This mental stress is increased still further when you get to the adverts and see what kind of bat-shit craziness passes for toys these days.
Voyager 1 was launched in September 1977, 36 years ago. I was 5 years old and it has remained an awe inspiring achievement throughout my life.
I heard about the intermittent fasting diet and have decided to leap on the bandwagon.
Here on the Word of Ward there’s an interactive galaxy!
Jason Ward tells three true stories of fairly perilous travel.
When I was a kid, one of my favourite shows was ‘Cosmos’ by the legendary Carl Sagan. It was astronomy with huge inspiring dollops of philosophy.
I’m not just plugging my awesome eBook because I haven’t done so for 6 months, (although that would be reason enough,) I’m plugging it because I am going to release a new one!
I’m a massive fan of the scientific method, which I’ll be the first to admit is a strange and vague thing to say. Scientists propose theories, conduct tests and then … Read More
Some obsessed young fellow, probably single, has spend the last 6 years splicing together actual photos from space missions to make a kind of animated photo flipbook thing that looks like a movie.
To begin with, I have been using something called Code Academy. It is pretty cool so far and you will soon be seeing some astounding changes thanks to what I have learned.
You know that famous old black and white photo of the workmen having lunch on a girder high above Mahattan?
