It's fair to say that with the tight schedule of football, exhaustion is setting in - for me. I managed the big Saturday and followed it up with a big Sunday - in which Mexico beat Germany! The big Saturday was a long day with lots of football, the big Sunday was a long day … Continue reading World Cup 2018 – Days 3-7 – Round-up

On… Television
In accordance with my last post, I'm going to chunder out a mass review of all the tv I watched over the exam period. I kept a list and everything. Also in accordance with the last post, the generally confused and subjective tone. The general formula of TV is formula. Do it once, well. Well, do … Continue reading On… Television

Virgin Express to hell: Brexiteers, Privateers and Pirates form an orderly queue
I travelled, rather am travelling from London, north, to Edinburgh today on the hottest day of the year. Temperature reading from fellow passengers have topped 47 degrees. We are stopping in York shortly where the train will be hand painted with a Virgin active logo, this is now Richard Bransons flagship free moving sauna. Mr … Continue reading Virgin Express to hell: Brexiteers, Privateers and Pirates form an orderly queue
Leader vs Liar : Rumble in the Jungle – 8 days to go
8 days is not a long time. Try living in the UK. (This was an axed Smiths line.) You may have been bored before you even began, Morrissey, but it isn't going to stop me from writing about this bloody election before you can ruin it with some ill advised remarks about terrorism. Anyway, the … Continue reading Leader vs Liar : Rumble in the Jungle – 8 days to go
Will Self and Slavoj Zizek in Conversation
This muggy, rainy London evening I had the opportunity to take in two intellectual titans debate. The topic for debate was something which has been in the forefront of my own mind for sometime and has been brought up by those I'm close to also. It's something you've probably considered recently too - "How the … Continue reading Will Self and Slavoj Zizek in Conversation
General Election – Week 1
So, I've failed you already. The intention to cover this parade daily is not easy or interesting. So I've decided to do it as and when I feel compelled, meaning this will likely be the last post in human history as Nuclear war brews in the South China sea. This pleases me as not only … Continue reading General Election – Week 1
Unbecoming a sad-sack
I've recently been through somewhat of a malaise. Perhaps from my own doing, perhaps from circumstances, certainly from a combination of the two. My usual routine came unbinded and I've been slightly at odds with myself and what I do minute -to-minute. Which is quite an uncomfortable experience. Some of this has been brought on … Continue reading Unbecoming a sad-sack
Porno: Pre T2 (Trainspotting 2) Review
In order to stay ahead of the curve Mr Hummels read the Irvine Welsh's Porno ahead of the T2 (Trainspotting 2) screening. Being a proud Scottish laddie and a good hibby I've previously been a bit reticent to get involved with Irvine Welsh's backcatalogue, ken. I'd had him confused wi that Ian Rankin felly whose … Continue reading Porno: Pre T2 (Trainspotting 2) Review
The Face of Things
Recently there have been drastic claims leveled against Mr Hummels. I would like to take the opportunity to put these claims to bed. It has been intimated that the associate writer behind Mr Hummels and its spectacular fame is a hipster and this assertion is not only damaging, it is wrong. When accusations like these … Continue reading The Face of Things
