So, I got a Piano...

I can't play it, but I got it anyway! My wife's boss was buying a new piano and offered to give us the old one because we're into music. Naturally, we gratefully accepted. It's an old Upright made by Crane and Sons of Liverpool and Dublin. The piano was given to us free, but we knew it would need a ...

Great news. I have been following Project Gray Company for a while, expecting this. Given the name and concept art it was obviously going to be a LotR game. Eä have brokered a great deal whereby they have rights to both the Movie world and the books. This means they can use the wonderful art design ...

Dragonlance goes to the Movies?

I hadn't even heard of this! I read the books way back when, and enjoyed them, but recently I tried to read them again and found them very juvenile. Goos animated movie fare though... Dragons' Weis Likes Movie Author Margaret Weis told SCI FI Wire that the upcoming film version of her book Dragons o...

From what I've heard/read about it I can see definite room for improvement. I listened to an audio bootleg of the first act and was staggered to find that despite the huge amount of comression of storyline and the frantic pace required for exposition westill had a 5 or 6 minute Song and Dance sectio...

I have to admit I'm a little uncomfortable with the whole "Athrabeth is the key to everything" concept. We had the Silmarillion and Lord of the Rings for years and they survived quite happily without the Atharabeth to explain everything. Besides, how much do we really know about the Athrab...

In case anyone's interested Bucklebury Ferry In the Eastfarthing of the Shire, adventurers will discover the River Baranduin, commonly referred to as the “Brandywine” by Hobbit-folk, flowing out from the Hills of Evendim far to the north.

You also can't sub in all the players you want. Only 3 substitutions are allowed. Ditch that rule in the finals in OT. Problem solved. There's a problem with that though Ax. While a team like Ireland can probably field 11 world class players, we wouldn't have a full squad of them. You'd be handing ...

Prim, I think you will absolutely adore the new Doctor. He's fantastic. The actor is David Tenant who some of you might recognise as Barty Crouch Jr in the latest Harry Potter movie. As for Billie Piper, who would have believed it. She started off as a teeny bopper pop singer in her teens and was fa...

Doctor Who

There's no thread here and there should be!

Season 2 Finale was on Saturday. Awesome!

For those on Season 1 I'll spare the spoilers, but suffice it to say that Season 2 was even better!

Actually Ath, while I agree that France were the better team, the penalty was unjustified. It was certainly a dive, though a cleverly executed one. Only one of the camera angles shows the truth. There was no contact, he hooked his right foot round his left heel and went down. It looked like he was t...
