Sea Girls – Oxford – 13 May 2022

Edit this setlist | More Sea Girls setlists Went to see Sea Girls in Oxford last Friday upstairs at the O2 Academy 2 (which is much better than the packed and claustrophobic downstairs). Lovely set by these boys touring in support of their second album, Homesick. Short (just the 10 songs) but lively and fun. … Read more

Last Man Down review

“Hey John, you are one bad motherfucker.” “Sure I am. Grab some water. Things are gonna burn tonight.” Sample dialogue from this mumble-grunt action movie which is about as cerebral as the cushion you’re sitting on. The plot? The cast of the Norwegian WWE franchise decides to make a movie in a forest. There’s been … Read more

Nothing is fair or right in the world

It’s Sunday 14th July. I am dressed from head to foot in Blackcaps cricket paraphernalia. The World Cup Final has arrived.

You’re saying it wrong

Here’s cricketing superstar Virat Kohli and up and coming batting powerhouse Pant rap singing in an advert for pimple cream. It’s magical. Virat clearly has no shame and loves money so much he’ll do anything for it. Gotta love him even more.

We’re in the World Cup Final … again!!!

‘I’d like him to have a stroke’ and other bits of genius from the Alternative Commentary Collective boys from today’s 2nd day of our exceptional world cup semi-final win over India.

Blackcaps vs Sth Africa – CWC, Edgbaston

Pics from the CWC19 trip to support the boys in the game vs the Saffas. A fine game superbly controlled by Kane’s excellent 100 and the six at the end was incredible stuff.

Supporting the Blackcaps at the World Cup 2019

Went to The Oval during the week to cheer on the boys against the Bangles. Job done as we restricted them to a very gettable 244, then proceeded to make it look like 444. Ross batted superbly despite almost been run out multiple times by the Boy Wonder. All handled eventually though as Mitch Santner … Read more

Bring Hogan’s Gear Back to NZ

Maximus Decimus Meridius AKA Russell Crowe is being taken to the cleaners by his previous lady friend and is having one mother of an auction to divvy up the proceeds of his life. Amongst the swords, costumes, artwork, and paraphernalia an actor collects is a bunch of historically important cricket artifacts given to him by … Read more
