Entering Murrayfield

Posted on Monday, November 16, 2009 by Peter

Scotland’s Autumn Tests started this weekend against Fiji. Getting tickets was easy but I had to solve a little logic puzzle to actually get into Murrayfield. Someone at the SRU hadn’t thought their cunning plan all the way through. Pretty … Continue reading →

The Road

Posted on Thursday, October 15, 2009 by Peter

There was a feature on Channel 4 News tonight about a film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s novel The Road. I really quite enjoy post-apocalyptic fiction (Think Threads, rather than Mad Max though), and The Road was the only novel I … Continue reading →
