“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending.

Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Grunt-work

Do YOU have what it takes to join Her Majesty’s Royal Marines? I’ll be very honest here: I sure as Hell couldn’t have passed that test, when I was 18. I was very fat and quite slow and my cardiovascular endurance was piss-poor. A year and a bit of...

The cancer is terminal

The following documents were leaked out of a… well, let’s just call it a REALLY FREAKIN’ BIG banking and financial services institution, you can easily see which one. This company helps facilitate global payment processing and you almost...

Deadly nerdrage

Being outside of the USA means that the news cycle with respect to mass shootings tends to be quite a bit slower than it is Stateside, so I saw the news about the two deadly shootings in El Paso and Dayton rather a bit later than most of my readers did. Nonetheless,...

“The Member of Parliament for the 18th Century”

The new Prime Minster of PommieBastardLand, Boris Johnson, may well be a bit of a clown – at least on the surface – but there is absolutely no doubt that he has some serious intellectual firepower underneath that floppy mop of silly hair and that big...

“You can be my wingman anytime”

The trailer for the very, very, VERY long-awaited sequel to Top Gun has finally been released, and actually, it looks awesome: That, my friends, is how you make a real trailer for a real sequel to… well, admittedly the gayest non-gay 80s movie...
