How did I end up with a Blog?
Yesterday I paid the invoice for the hosting of this site and the domains that go with it. That’s what prompted me to finally complete that post on streaming services that I started writing back in February. It’s not expensive, but I guess some would see it as unusual for someone like me—just a normal bloke with nothing to sell or anything like that—to pay for a website when there are so many free options out there. Particularly when I’m not exactly a regular poster. It’s not like I’m writing a new entry every day or even every week. Read More …
Do You Remember A Time Before Streaming?

This used to be a stupid question because when we all only watched “linear television” the only choice was to watch an episode a week because that’s how a series was broadcast. Read More …
When is a Re-shuffle not a Re-shuffle?
It’s fair to say that Alexander Johnson is having a tough time of it as Prime Minister right now. It’s the job he’s wanted all his life—well, the story goes that what he actually wanted to be was World King, but that isn’t a thing so Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland would have to do—and I suspect that the job isn’t quite all he’d hoped it would be.

Wanderers Blockbuster February
February is going to be a massive month for Wolverhampton Wanderers. Six games in twenty-two days, one very winnable-looking game in the FA Cup followed by five very tough-looking Premier League fixtures. Read More …
