or The Manic Pixie Dream Girl Scenario (Fiction) “So? Do you want to have sex with me or not?” This was the question I was greeted with. Out of breath, dirty, sweaty, all manner of unattractive and she asks me that. And all this with one of the most beautiful vistas in Scotland spread outContinue reading “Sex on a Mountain”

I Saw a Man Lie On a Wall
(Poetry: 24.6.21) I saw a man lie on a wall,he must have been but five feet tall.Had he no cares if he should fall?Alas seemed not, no none at all! Although the sky was grey with rain,the umbrella was propped without a stain,while any thoughts (damp, cold or pain?)like pesky bugs he did disdain. Continue reading “I Saw a Man Lie On a Wall”
Incognito
(Fiction) Tie straight, button done up and newly cropped hair neatly (ish) brushed, he stood up and walked to the door to welcome his new form class. As they walked in, beaming with every handshake and personal greeting, their stares and wonderment were tangible.

‘Review’: J.K. Rowling and Anti-Trans Supporters
I know that this is ostensibly a review blog that I regularly forget to update (I’ll do something new soon), but with what I have to say in this I think that Facebook or a long and broken up tweet really just isn’t appropriate. So here it is. What follows is an edited and titledContinue reading “‘Review’: J.K. Rowling and Anti-Trans Supporters”
The Insidious Nature of Lockdown…
So, every now and again I get these periods where I just need to scratch an itch to watch some good, interesting horror films. I tend not to go for slashers or gore anymore – I prefer interesting ideas and stories, things that make you ask questions or think! With that in mind, I turnedContinue reading “The Insidious Nature of Lockdown…”
A Number 2 That Wasn’t… Well, You Know!!
Sorry for the terrible pun there, I couldn’t resist. Lilo and Stitch is one of my wife’s favourite Disney films, and with our current access to Disney+ we discovered that there are not only two sequels, but also a whole animated series. We’ve not watched those (yet?) but we really liked Lilo and Stitch 2:Continue reading “A Number 2 That Wasn’t… Well, You Know!!”
Preda-don’t-bother!
Slow connection, repetitive gameplay, lazy animation and god-damned loot boxes… The eponymous Hunting Grounds of the upcoming ‘Predator: Hunting Grounds’ are clearly your wallet and inflated fan-service! But it is rather fun for a while, and worth a go if it’s cheap… Special thanks for my gaming crew for their opinions as well! The Tl;DrContinue reading “Preda-don’t-bother!”
Defective – But We Love Him Anyway
It’s Friday, so I thought that of all the things that people might want reviewed to kick start their weekend, my dog Ragnar deserved some limelight for once in his fluffy life. So here you go, a review of my dog – because why not!*Notice: No Ragnars were harmed in the making of this post,Continue reading “Defective – But We Love Him Anyway”
Final Fantasy VII Remake Demo – My First Time in FF7!
I’ve never had the opportunity to play Final Fantasy VII before, having been somewhat put off by its gameplay style when I was younger (and more foolish) and then subsequently by its age. Playing this demo, then, is my first foray and while some people might compare it, I am coming at it with aContinue reading “Final Fantasy VII Remake Demo – My First Time in FF7!”
