So who is excited about Doctor Who returning to our screens on 30 March? Yup, I didn’t think I was the only one – and not only because it’s my 21st birthday (I personally take it as a sign from the Doctor), but because these past three months have lacked the show’s spark and we need our Whovian … [Read more...]
Outstanding Achievements – Parks And Recreation S1E5- Dork Review
Last time on Parks And Rec, Leslie made a bit of a booboo, April The Intern got drunk and we learned that The Old Boys Club is still very much a thing. Rah! This time, there’s banqueting afoot in honour of Leslie’s mother, while Tom and Mark try to hook up with some lovely ladies. If you … [Read more...]
Can we survive a whole hour in Woodbury? The Walking Dead S3E14 – Dork Review
Honestly, if you’d told me beforehand that The Walking Dead was headed for a stand-alone story featuring only the Woodbury end of the cast, I would have executed a dramatic eyeroll. This part of the storyline has always been a little one-note. But nonetheless, this is what we have: Andrea, … [Read more...]
Stealing Food, Stealing Food – Parks And Rec S1E4 – Dork Review
Last time on Parks and Recreation, we learned all about the joys of canvassing. And... yeah, that’s about it really. Lots of canvassing went on. And a smidge of filibustering. But just a smidge. This time around, Leslie tries to weasel her way in with the political old boys and Andy has a … [Read more...]

Playing Rock Band On The Job – Parks and Recreation S1E3 Dork Review
Last week on Parks and Recreation, a reporter came to cause a spot of bother, Ron made himself out to be the king of Scrabble and I learned to my horror that I had been spelling Leslie Knope’s name wrong in all my reviews so far. No better time to right the wrongs! This week... Well, … [Read more...]
Edifier Spinnaker review: bluetooth speakers for your iPhone
These Edifier Spinnaker bluetooth speakers are a delight to look at and listen to. Not only are they good-looking and stylish, they are the first set of speakers that can truly call themselves ‘dock busters’, because buying a dock for your smartphone just went out of date. So if you’ve just got an … [Read more...]
A Little More Conversation, A Little Less Zombies… The Walking Dead S3E13 – Dork Review
I was dreading this week’s Walking Dead rather, as last episode was an excellent ray of sunshine, but mostly because it avoided the Governor/Woodbury arc. That storyline hasn’t really recovered momentum since the show came back from mid-season break. This time, we get another standalone story, … [Read more...]
Meccano Gears of War: Centaur Tank. It’s a children’s toy for adults
Meccano has always been Lego's big brother, utilising screws, nuts and bolts, and the ever-useful Allen Key. This kit is no different, and benefits from moulded plastic sections, which allow the model to be a lot larger than a Lego set could ever be. And there's no doubting how cool this vehicle … [Read more...]
