The Suddenly Kate Show

I don’t know about you but every now and again I like to roam the internet in my virtual pyjamas in search of interesting, quirky or funny podcasts, blogs or radio shows.
Occasionally, I will come across a gem but more often than not I don’t and have to resort back to old favourites.
I recently came across one such podcast called ‘The Flop House’, it’s a podcast about bad films, three American men discuss a film hailed a flop. They basically go scene by scene through the film highlighting the flaws in script, set, and acting, well basically everything. It is done so in a very informal way and is much like overhearing a conversation between a bunch of people on the train or the like. They are very upbeat, enthusiastic and giggly. They have a website which lists the films that they have covered (although it appears that they stopped updating this list in 2011) and they are currently on episode #152!
I like it because its informal and they often digress into silliness (which is a habit…

I am struggling to believe that I haven’t written a music review this year? But it seems that after my flurry in 2012 and quarterly attempt in 2013 that for 2014 I am still not off the starter’s blocks.

They were the 4th band I reviewed way back in 2012 & you can check out the war and peace review here. It covers their album and includes a short interview. Hailing from Manchester (a mecca for music) these guys released a single at the tail end of last year called Forever in your debt.

I am actually kicking myself that I missed their latest appearance at Water Rats, L…

It’s that time of year again! That time of year when I unleash the monster that is 'Paranoid Solo Traveller' (PST!). There is a difference this time...and that difference is that I will not always be travelling solo this year.
I did wonder if I needed to change the name of my travel series but I decided against it as I am still that neurotic control freak and so it is with that in mind that I announce to you the 2014 travel reports that will be winging their way onto this merry blog of mine. I am hoping that if you are from or have been to these places then you may have some travel tips and advice for me, however I won’t accept the following advice: ‘Don’t go there!’.
The text in the square brackets like [this] indicate the type of travellers, this is important to remember because it will affect your travel plans and the type of experience that you will have and also exactly how much you will need to worry about and how much you can divide the preparation by.
