Where's the Pigeon!?! 

Perfect Rain

It rained perfectly.
The tears of Heaven hiding my mortal own.
Nobody saw my sad face as they hung theirs.
Not so easily could I avoid my own sad rain.
Its rivulets carving scars on my face that may never heal.

Running Man

My friend Brian took part in the Manchester Run this morning on behalf of Manchester Children's Hospital. His finish time was 1hour 9mins for the 6mile/10k course.

Now, that's pretty damn good in my eyes!

Congrats big man.

Nighthawks

OK, so I don't know anything about art. Well about as much as I know about football or music, anyway. But I do know what I like. Recognize the picture below?



It's by an American artist called Edward Hopper. This is probably his most famous picture and has been parodied countless times. I was reading an article about him in the Sunday Times supplement a couple of weeks ago. Yes, I only bought it for the free gift.

The article talks about how his works is voyeuristic and focuses on isolation and depression, but I like it. It has a quiet quality, like those few hours after midnight when most of the world is asleep, and a simplicity that matches its period.

To find out more about Hopper, follow the link below:

Manchester? Where?

Did you know there are 15 towns called Manchester in the US? And they are all in the NE area. Odd. Maybe our ancestors were too lazy to travel any further?

There's even one in Pando, Bolivia!

So next time someone asks you where you're from, remember to be a little more specific.

p.s. There's also an Oldham in South Dakota, USA

Hail to the undead King, baby!

Bruce Campbell ... Elvis ... and a rampaging Mummy!

Everyone knows that Elvis isn't really dead, but that might be about to change. Truth is he's spending his twilight years in a Texas retirement home. Trouble starts when an ancient Egyptian terror targets the home with its own personal brand of euthanasia. Elvis (Bruce Campbell) must team up with fellow resident Jack (Ossie Davis), who thinks he's JFK despite being a blackman, to kick some undead, bandaged ass!

Could this be the greatest film ever made? Probably not, but there's a good chance it will be a damn site more entertaining than Van Helsing or LoEG.

First of all ...

The reason for doing this blog .. well truthfully there isn't one.

Not a good one anyway.

As Oscar Wilde (may have) said - "A man should have an opinion on all things, no matter how ill-founded."

This page is just a place where I can deposit some of the stuff that floats round my head and make room for some more (or less) important stuff.

Enjoy...
