Pirate Paul’s Parrot Posse Pub Quiz

Thursday night was a visit to the Pond pub on Gloucester Road, Brighton, opposite Paul and Sarah’s house for some tasty Thai food and to take part in the weekly pub quiz. The food went down very well and at 8:30pm we’d paid £1 for each team member to the quizmaster, a character called Horace [...]

Conchords release horror film

Couldn’t believe I saw this through Facebook but there it was, an advert for a new film, straight to video, for a full-length feature starring the Flight of Conchords main cast including Murray! The film has its own website which interestingly is a co.uk site and not a co.nz. The cover looks slightly dodgy as [...]

Wii Sports Resort

Another Nintendo license to print money as you must buy another accessory for a future car boot sale/ebay listing. Plus, you need to buy another MotionPlus (‘mote’ sensor) if you want to play another person (another £20). Wii Sports Resort is another mini-game spoon feed for the causal/newbie gamer. The first few goes are simple, [...]

Course and kart

I was almost looking forward to this evening as much as the Ferrari racing day. Somehow I managed to get another three like-minded people from work to form a go-karting team to enter a Le Mans style competition at the Crawley track. It was supposed to be a competition between ‘research’ industry types but they’d [...]

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

I’d completely forgotten most of the book’s content apart from Dumbledore dying, new teacher Slughornh and a lot of backstory about Voldemort so watching the film unfold to get to these key parts didn’t make much difference to me. There were a few scenes which I think were devised to add some suspense but had [...]

WKND & MSTRKRFT

Wednesday night was a fun one out with Viv and baby Amy as we took them to Brighton’s finest fried finery, Bardsleys for an expensive fish and chip dinner. The staff are really friendly, there’s a wine menu and their reputation for quality was proven with the best chips ever. The owner was very chatty [...]

Japanese Robot Cat

Very bored today hence two blog entries. I must also be missing our old cat to have come across these videos. Watch them in order from top to bottom. Subscribe to gingerdjroblog

Split/Second

I’m liking the look of this forthcoming racing game. It looks like a cross between Burnout/Midnight Club with some cheat moves to slow competitors down. Looks like a 2010 release around February time according to Amazon. Shame, I wouldn’t have minded this for Christmas. Subscribe to gingerdjroblog

Thruxton Driving Day

I’d been praying for good weather all week for this and watching the forecasts like a hawk with a driving license. Luckily all that happened on the track was the odd flurry of drizzle. So after 2 and a bit hours of M25 and M3 traffic we made it to Thruxton, the other side of [...]
