Many many eons ago I used to work as a cocktail barman. Oh yes… I was the King of the ‘Mudslide’…. it’s a cocktail. Chocolate milkshake like…. kinda pre-dating alcoho-pops… anyway…. one of the songs we used to close the evening with was from the husband and wife team Womack & Womack. It never failed [...]

Some meals should never be ordered or disrespected as a takeway or as takeouts…. like steak or BBQ ribs. Or for that matter Micky D’s or the Colonel. Yet other meals are okay… in fact they are ideal as takeouts or takeaways. The big four of Thai, Chinese, Indian, Pizza all travel well. And can present ok for a dining encore the next day. Pasta? For the love of grods what were you thinking! What do you think travels well and what should never be considered? Sushi? (Darren Saturday | 9 Comments)

While I’m thinking out loud, I have to say I have a fascination with movies where the entire plot is effectively summarised by the title. I was thinking about this the other day after seeing an ad for the obviously family-frolicsome-gigglefest of Drag Me To Hell, which I assume is pretty much about someone (or possibly several someones) being dragged to hell. Same thing goes for such classic horror flicks as The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (people get massacred in Texas with a chain saw) and Invasion of the Body Snatchers (bodies get snatched during an invasion). I’m sure this happens outside the horror genre as well — can anyone else think of other examples? (Murray @ Midnight | 0 Comments)
One thing I’ve never quite understood is why people will pay money to get personalised licence plates that say the same thing as the model of the car they’re driving. So, “P911″ on a Porsche 911 and whatnot. Theoretically, this is already written on the car somewhere, right? So, what’s the point of paying money to prove you have nothing interesting or original to say? (Murray @ Midnight | 0 Comments)
It is bloody handy when you want a quick entertainment fix or your just hankering to see an old music clip video… or a commercial… I can’t explain it but the vintage ‘Green Giant’ ads fascinate and frighten me in equal measure. There is certainly some real rubbish on YouTube… I guess that’s the downside [...]
