Beer + Films = Birthday
Since my birthday falls on the bank holiday this year, and incidentally clashes with my regular roleplaying game, I'm going to be celebrating on Sunday 24th. My plan is simple: I'm going to spend the day drinking beer and watching films - with perhaps the odd TV episode or bout of fighting games to break things up. Naturally this will be occurring ( Read more... ) -
Meeting! At the pub!
This month's agenda:
1) b33r!
2) Talking crap.
That is all.

Pub Meet! Back from the dead!
I've just been talking to nick_stewart about the monthly pub-meet and how it seems to have died a death, and we figured it was about time we tried to resurrect it. So with that in mind we'll be meeting at Mr. Foley's on the Headrow (previously known as Dr. Okell's) this Friday (3rd October) at about 8pm. Hope to see people there ( Read more... ) -
Win-Win Situation
So, Cashback. Originally a short film that achieved a fair degree of critical success, it was later expanded into a full length feature. Having heard good things about it some time ago, I had it on my LoveFilm list - but by the time it arrived, I'd largely forgotten about it and so watched it without any particular expectations.

Test of the Balance
So I ran the first session of my new Dragonsilver campaign "Test of the Balance" earlier tonight. All in all it went very well, people seemed to grasp the background and system pretty easily and everyone got into character right away - plus we got a decent way into the opening plot. Here's hoping things continue to go smoothly ( Read more... ) -
Insufficiently Horrific?
After having fun chatting, drinking and watching a couple of old films (Dark Crystal and Labyrinth) on my birthday, maviscruet and I ended up discussing the possibility of doing something similar again soon. With that in mind we're proposing an evening spent watching The Princess Bride and Stardust at my place on Friday the 13th of June (i.e. a week on ( Read more... ) -
me.age ++
It's my birthday on Sunday (the 25th) and since it's a bank holiday on Monday I figured I could probably get away with celebrating on the day itself without people having to worry about work the next morning. My plan is simple: beer + movies + friends, at my house, on Sunday night (say from about 7pm onwards, though I don't mind if people want to ( Read more... ) -

I Am Returnéd
I know, I know. Try to contain yourselves.
Christmas was good, peaceful yet entertaining. I read a lot, which makes a nice change for me. Turns out Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is good fun and rather better than the first 3 books in the series, who knew? Also the second Uplift trilogy by David Brin is grand, thanks to ste_pb93 for that ( Read more... ) -
Happy Christmas Everyone!
That is all.
