Two red heads, one blonder than the other, bobbled up and down on a patch of green grass. A white Umbro ball passed between them. They both wore Manchester United jerseys adorned with players names across the back. Keane, 16, on the back of the older boy and Beckham, 7, on the younger. The ball … Continue reading David Beckham v Greece, 2001 (Two Red Heads)

Barry’s Rants: The Office
His gravelly voice caught my attention as I rounded the corner. Sitting on one of the slabs outside the GPO, he was bringing a freshly lit cigarette up to his mouth, shielded by a cupped hand. I hadn't seen him in months. A part of me selfishly wanted to keep walking and act as if … Continue reading Barry’s Rants: The Office
21 Bridges – Review
It is odd to hear Chadwick Boseman talk in his normal, American accent. I had become so used to hearing him with an African lilt in Black Panther and Message from the King (2018 & 2016 respectively) that I was half taken aback when he spoke in this movie.Boseman plays Andre Davis, a celebrated New … Continue reading 21 Bridges – Review
Mr. Right (2015) – Netflix
There are only a few film stars, actors and actresses that I am in awe of every time they appear on a screen. Whether that be interviews, t.v. shows or movies, I am enthralled by their every move. Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, Emily Blunt, to name but a few. However, none of them have captured … Continue reading Mr. Right (2015) – Netflix
Dear Diary 2: Electric Boogaloo
Hello again guys! It seems like, for the fifth time this year, I'm making a grand return to writing. Like the prodigal son I am slinking back to my parents house with no money, no camel of my own and a pocket void of gold coins. In this simile WordPress is my parents house and … Continue reading Dear Diary 2: Electric Boogaloo

Happy Wednesday, folks! Hope ye had a great weekend. I went to the zoo myself and had a look at some of the exotic, foreign animals. Then, I got the train back to the city and start my shift at Blackpool's local zoo: The Reel Picture. Kids, shitheads and uninterested parents ran riot and gave … Continue reading Trailer Watch
Hello Again.
Good Wednesday, folks! The sun isn't exactly shining here in Rathpeacon but the rain has stayed away so far. There's a couple of fox cubs running around our garden every once in a while. Coincidentally, I haven't seen any rabbits in a while. I'm working two jobs, losing all of my matches with the local … Continue reading Hello Again.
San Francisco
Just before I made the move back home I took a short trip to San Francisco. A friend of mine had lived there for a year or so and had been telling me how great it was, so I was keen to see the place. Other friends of mine had made the big move across … Continue reading San Francisco
The Vanguard
"Good Morning, Vanguard Chelsea, Cian speaking." It is 1:30 AM on another typical night shift in the Vanguard; quiet for the most part with the odd noise complaint, or someone asking to be let back into the laundry room because they just had to finish their delicates at midnight. The odd homeless person stumbles by … Continue reading The Vanguard
Resolutions
It's that time of the year again, the hazy and confusing end/start to the year where people try to transition from eating and drinking whatever they want to imposing strict and unforgiving rules on their lives. People want to give up their aul sins but also want to enjoy themselves. This often leads to several … Continue reading Resolutions
