    "Now Showing"

    Went to see 127 Hours last night. It deserves every single bit of praise its recieved so far. Its brilliantly done, James Franco's performance is excellent, especially considering i've never really rated him at all before. As always with Danny Boyle, everything becomes captivating. His...

    Currently growing obsession with this track. Punching in a Dream by The Naked & Famous (careful when searching that on Youtube!). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCcUXEC5_eU Bit of a female vocalled Time to Pretend by MGMT, but with better sounds. Love it.

    Well, yeah, I suppose it is, just not the dubstep that Radio1's hammering at us at the moment. Its no Magnetic Man! I need to find some decent headphones, because I keep hearing people going on about the mega bass in it, but its just not coming through laptop speakers at all! I just...

    What's in a name?

    Well, may name's Robin by birth, but i'm not mad-keen on it, so I tend to try and avoid it! 90% of people know me as Rob, its the name I go by at work, and generally the name I use on official documents where I can. My mum still uses Robin sometimes, but she pretty much is the only one...

    Another recommendation. Its the first stunning song of 2011 for me. Its a cover of a Feist song, and its just really sparse and piano-y and cool. Bit of a departure for a bloke who's primarily involved in the Dubstep scene too, albeit pretty chilled out dubstep. Check it out though, its...

    "Now Showing"

    We saw TRON a couple of weeks ago too, and having only seen the originala few months ago for the first time, it was quite good to follow it up with the sequel soon after. It was a stunning film though, thatmay have been boosted by the fact that it was my first 3D film, and it was all new and...

    Notable Deaths 2011

    I'll have a point this year then, Pete Postlethwaite's gone! Shocking! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-12106753 EDIT - Cock it, I should've read more!!

    Formula 1 2010

    Yeah, its going to be great having two 'Lotus' teams next year, that won't be confusing at all... Its like the old BMW/Williams situation from a few years back. Fair play to Tony Fernandes for being the big man and not kicking up a fuss though. He could've stropped and insisted he'd decided...

    The new Adele track is mega. I've always quite liked her, not really to the point of owning any of her music, but I think this track will change that. Its got some cracking piano too, which is always good, but its just a good, powerful, jazzy pop song...

    Albums Of 2010

    I genuinely can't think of ANY decent albums that have come out this year. Its been a slow music year for me this year. I've had a bit of a thing for a few albums that came out at the back end of last year, but i'm struggling on this year. The only thing that's springing to mind at the...

    This might've been posted before, seeing as i've not been here for a while, due to laptop 'issues', but it deserves posting again anyway even if it has. Crystal Castles' new track, which is an album track, but with Robert Smith from The Cure doing the vocals instead, and its mega...

    Ghosterforce 7 Trip Reports

    Glad everyone had a good GF! I see Thorpe's not altered on GF weeks since I last went then, spectacular ride count as ever. Gutted we missed out on the stuff at Chessie, sounded mega. We were considering coming down at the last minute too, but couldn't quite afford. From my memory, on the...

    Formula 1 2010

    Having seen Sergio race with Jaime Alguersuari in British F3 a few years ago, i'd definitely say Sergio is the quicker driver, if a bit more unpredictable. Jaime was usually solid but rather unimpressive speed-wise. He's more of a talent than Pastor Maldonado too, its taken Pastor 3 and a half...

    Liseberg Live - 18th Sept - Trip Reports

    GUTTED I couldn't go. I hate missing out on anything Liseberg, I love the place, and i've always fancied doing it in a live group, ever since I first went. Looks like everyone had a good time though. Never realised the IceBar was back though, and you DIDN'T do it! We spent over an hour just...

    X Factor 2010

    I reckon i'll go for the X Factor next year, because its obviously not a singing competition anymore, i'll just get my vocals auto-tuned and i'll sound much better! Okay, admittedly auto-tune isn't going to make someone who can't sing for shiz sound like Pavarotti, but surely the appeal of...

    Worst Queuelines

    I'd go with Rita as well to be honest. Anything that's just a maze of switchbacks with NOTHING else is awful. Shockwave at Drayton is pretty unpleasant, but i'd still rather be in there than Rita's queue. Saw's was quite unpleasant too, especially for two hours, but at least there's...

    how many times in a row?

    Without actually getting off, not that many. I think me & Mark managed about 6 on Cobra at Paultons when it first opened, before our actual ERT. In terms of consecutive rides though, about 20 on Nemesis Inferno with Harvey, back in 2004, just whoring the SRQ, that was quite fun!

    What is the purpose of theming?

    To me, theming adds an extra dimension to a ride. It gives it that something else that makes it stand out above something similar that is just plonked in a field. I think that works on all levels too, not just from an enthusiast point-of-view. It just makes a ride that bit more exciting and...

    S&S launched coaster for Happy Valley Beijing

    This thing looks mental! The whole launch-into weird twisting, climbing hill-followed by massive straight drop looks awesome! Why-oh-why does it have to be in China? Its not fair.

    BrazilName

    Mine's 'Beincha', which is a bit lame. It should clearly be Robinho... EDIT - If I use my full first name,it comes out as 'Robito Pau', which is slightly more Brazilian.
