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
World Cup 2018 – Day 2
All the signs were there. They read Portugal vs Spain - 7pm. But few could have anticipated that what we would witness would be something as magical as that. That is only partly true. The definable magic of the world cup is perhaps why we all watch it? When Danny Murphy repeats "Unbelievable!" three times … Continue reading World Cup 2018 – Day 2
World Cup 2018 – Day 1
And, we're off... Strangely, to the sound of Robbie Williams. There was a sound in the UK of a collective, growing "aaahhhh..." as everyone suddenly realised that Robbie Williams is an archetypal Russian popstar. Could it be that Robbie Williams is a Russian plant too? Anyway, his sarcastic, Anglophilic, coked-up swagger put in mind an … Continue reading World Cup 2018 – Day 1

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
Theory and Praxiszzzz
As I attempt to synthesise a semesters worth of sociological theory alongside a semester of unwritten posts and scribbles from a notebook, do not lose heart. There will be a point to all of this. The life of an anonymous, poorly-subscribed-to online lifestyle brand is a lonely one. The nature of living our creative existence … Continue reading Theory and Praxiszzzz
A letter of thanks – by way of out of date review and a bad poem.
I wrote a long diatribe, a review, before Mr Hummels came into being, about Frightened Rabbit. The review which I wrote focused on the intense brilliance of Frightened Rabbit - in the intimate setting of Princess St HMV. It was the first event of this sort which I had been to alone and felt an … Continue reading A letter of thanks – by way of out of date review and a bad poem.
The Salon
This is a true story. Tenses may have been jumbled in an effort to maintain the corporeal sense of time which one feels when attending an appointment. Moreover, I've not got the energy to edit it too much at this stage. The following takes place a quick walk from Baker Street, past the famous … Continue reading The Salon
Editorial – The new face and direction of Mr Hummels
I press the 'write' button haphazardly, the thought of spending an hour on a ramble which is below an innate desired standard is almost enough to stop me from beginning. Another article to add to the pages of drafts which this site saves and I will never finish. This could be a familiar trope, I … Continue reading Editorial – The new face and direction of Mr Hummels
