A Good Man Goes to War
Sorry, I do spoilerz. Deal with it ( Read more... ) -
Let's Kill Hitler
I think we can safely say that the next episode of Doctor Who has the BEST TITLE EVAH! -
The Doctor's Wife
Okay, that was an episode and a half. Even if you forgive the canon-busting indulgence.
Michael Sheen was chilling.
What a treat. -
The Mark of Cain
I finally got around to reading Doug Beattie's account of the Garmsir battle in 2006, when 1 Royal Irish was tasked with taking the town in a 2 day op, that instead became a two-week long slogging match with the Terrys ( Read more... ) -
Toms and Terrys
So, the Elheim 20mm minis arrived. About a platoon's worth of Squaddies and a similar number of Terry Taliban. Nice crisp castings. They should paint up nicely.
I'm going to play the Osprey Force on Force rules with a chum here. He's wanting to start with the US Marines advance on Baghdad in 2003 and is currently painting up a bunch of Jarheads ( Read more... ) -
Outright bribery
Well, the food bribery we've been employing on Kei seems to be working. He now accepts more meat and veg than he ever did before (even if in modest quantities) and his teachers are reporting he's eating a lot more normally at preschool ( Read more... ) -

Well, aside from Lily Cole looking wickedly alien and one poetic image of a band of buccaneers sailing a starship across the galaxy, I thought that was a pile of poo.
It is very difficult to feck up a show with pirates in, but that just about managed it. -
Toy Story
There are times when I could cheerfully strangle the sprog. Particularly when he gets demanding over toys. I swear we haven't tried to spoil him and have worked hard to keep him grounded when it comes to material possessions 1, but I think he is already developing geeky obsessions ( Read more... ) -
Wacko!
Ming gave my son a Doraemon aeroplane toy, one of those cheap little polystyrene gliders with characters printed all over.
Only the aeroplane is clearly in the shape of a Hawker Hurricane. -
Spoilers!
The Doctor and Richard Nixon team up to save the world!
Ridiculous, but a great episode, full of gothic atmos. Boy, Moffat does like to set up the mysteries, doesn't he? A pile of loose ends flapping about, waiting to be tied up.
Why do I suspect we haven't seen the last of Canton?
