Pear Cider imminent

Got my Glastonbury ticket - hope everyone else did. Best line-up I've seen yet - Arcade and Arctics will obviously boss the festival, but can't believe Chaz and Dave and The Wurzels are playing. ...

Bad start to the day

Left my hat and gloves on the bus this morning. Then a bird shat on me. Slightly worried about what might be next. On a lighter note, all my SXSW reports can be found here http://www.timeout.com/film/...

Comedy heaven

Saw the funniest film of all time last week. Even funnier than the daddy, Caddyshack. That film was Borat, and believe me, once seen, it's never forgotten. So offensive it's almost unreleasable (...

Went to V Festival last week - what a load of tosh. Overpriced, commercial, full of yellow-coated simpletons directing you to toally the wrong place for the duration, £10 just to find out gig times an...
