    Climate change

    Byward 23/12/200912/06/2020

    Pretty heavy topic eh? I was going to try and lighten this entry a bit with an amusing picture or two. I scoured the internet and discovered that the only jokey pictures I could find were on right-wing ranting sites that basically slagged off Al Gore and called everyone who believed in climate change a…

    Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

    Byward 23/12/200912/06/2020

    In case you are lazy and don’t want to read the rest of this review – this game is brilliant! I mentioned previously, elsewhere, that it was better than watching the new Indiana Jones film. I recently watched it again and it was actually pretty good fun. This game is still better though. You feel…

    Britain is a dark and gloomy place

    Byward 16/12/200912/06/2020

    It’s been a massive shock being back. I know from experience that it will only take a week or two to get used it all but right now, I just want to stay in and hibernate. Britain is cold and dark. The sun came up and 08:01am and set at 15:52pm. In between there was…

    The Thai wedding.

    Byward 08/12/200912/06/2020

    Well it’s all almost over. After a month in Thailand, the return to Blighty and darkness and televisual toil beckons once more. No mysterious benefactors have stepped out of the woodwork to give me the millions I’ve hoped and prayed for, so I’m coming back. As an atheist, the prayers were probably a waste of…

    I got married… again! This time Bangkok Buddhist Style

    Byward 23/11/200912/06/2020

    Yes, I’ve done it again. Same lady, but different country and very different ceremony. So my blog and review output has been somewhat lacking. Apologies for this but I have to have priorities. My ‘Wedding 2’ was held in a large ballroom in Bangkok. There were nine monks, a hundred guests, and lots of emotion….

    I’m now entering the ‘World Domination’ phase of my life plan!

    Byward 16/11/200912/06/2020

    I’m in Bangkok! God I love this place! Apart from the fact that where I’m staying has no internet, everything is perfect in the world of Ward. I lived here for two years before I was forced back to Blighty. I spent my days in coffee shops and bars happily writing away and get hyped…

    Byward 06/11/200912/06/2020

    I’m not going to talk about delicious Spiced Ham in a Can. Nor am I going to talk about the Monty Python sketch where a load of vikings are in a cafe chanting ‘Spam, spam, spam, spam, spamedy spam’ (etc). I’m talking about the internet pricks who offer you ways to lengthen your, er, prick….

    And Another Thing… by Eoin Colfer

    Byward 31/10/200912/06/2020

    Let me state this first: I am a massive Hitchhiker fan. Not to the point where it becomes sad-loner going to a convention level, but damn close – I’ll probably take my wife. I first read the initial trilogy when I ten and Life, the Universe and everything had just been published. I immediately wanted to…

    Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Galaxy.

    Byward 30/10/200912/06/2020

    Well, I’m back. I apologize for not writing recently but I have been on a minor European tour. First off, I’ve been to Bruges. In Belgium. Like the feckin’ movie. It was a lovely place and is one of the most perfectly preserved medieval cities in Belgium. It’s full of cobbled streets, cafes, statues, old…

    Batman Arkham Asylum

    Byward 22/10/200912/06/2020

    Holy game-playing brilliance Batman! Sorry but I had to do that. First, the plot. Batman has captured the Joker and is delivering him to Gotham’s legendary Arkham Asylum. The caped crusader suspects something is amiss as the Joker barely put up a fight and fuck is he right. The whole thing is a trap as…

    Broken Britain

    Byward 17/10/200912/06/2020

    Except it isn’t really is it? I just felt like stealing a headline that appears in nearly every Daily Mail issue ever. What is pretty fucked though is the underground and the post office. I’m sure there are lots of other things wrong but these affect me. When either of these two groups of “people”…

    Work is intruding on my social life

    Byward 10/10/200912/06/2020

    I’ve been up to fuck all recently as I just seem to work all the time. As I work freelance and am going on holiday to Thailand on the 10th of November for a month, I have been forcing myself to accept nearly every shift that comes my way. Which is crap. In addition to…

    The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown

    Byward 07/10/200912/06/2020

    I finished this a few days ago and have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It is just a shame that I don’t really think it is that great a book. This puts me in something of a quandary on how to review it. The story follows Robert Langdon, the hero of Angels…

    A Scanner Darkly by Philip K Dick

    Byward 30/09/200912/06/2020

    The story follows a group of drug users in California in the far-off year of 1994. Actually, the date doesn’t really matter, the book is barely science fiction. The futuristic setting (for when it was written) is simply a device to allow for a drug that doesn’t exist and new techniques for undercover cops. Anyway,…

    District 9

    Byward 19/09/200912/06/2020

    First off, the plot. In 1982 a spaceship arrives and stops overJohannesburg. There is some shaky footage of a command pod detatching and crashing to earth but it is never found. It turns out the ship is full of insect-like aliens who are refugees. They get transported to ‘District 9’ – an area that soon…

    Knight Rider 2008 is more of the same

    Byward 14/09/200905/04/2026

    Knight Rider 2.0 man! New car, new cast, new rocking theme tune. The original was a fun, if somewhat shallow, series following the adventures of a smooth-talking, hard-hitting ladies’ man (played by the Hoff), and a futuristic talking car called Kitt. While it could never be described as brilliant, it was fun. The new series…

    The Metro is now my sole source of news

    Byward 13/09/200905/04/2026

    There used to be a lot more newspapers lying around the places I work but that seems to have changed. Now it just seems to be the Metro which I will already have read. My work commute takes me 24 minutes which is coincidentally the exact time it takes me to read the Metro. As…

    The inFamous game is underrated and a LOT of fun

    Byward 07/09/200904/04/2026

    In inFamous You play a delivery man called Cole, who lives on a roof with an annoying friend and is dating a woman called Trish who whinges a lot. (Although this is kind of justified). One day there is a massive explosion in the city and you wake up in the middle of a huge…

    Azincourt by Bernard Cornwell is historical fiction done right

    Byward 05/09/200920/03/2026

    I love Bernard Cornwell’s books. People who know me frequently reel back in awe of my historical knowledge. At least I assume that’s what they’re reeling back from. This knowledge is largely due to authors like Cornwell, George MacDonald Fraser, Simon Scarrow, Patrick O’Brian and numerous others. I love writers that can bring a time…
