Question #8

What is Bioshock about? That's the next question. I thought that this question might be a bit tricky. How could I possibly explain Bioshock and avoid spoilers whilst doing so? I thought. Well, as it turns out it's actually quite easy since Bioshock is not about it's setting in a city at the bottom of the sea, it's not necessarily about the characters you meet during the adventure there. It's not about the action and gameplay either. All of those things are merely the tools for telling the story. So what is it about then?

That's a bit Pinteresting.

So I came a little late to the Pinterest party and whilst it was partly due to me being that cool it was also down to me not quite getting it when I was first introduced to it. Starbuck had told me many times about things that she had found and read and posted on pinterest and had I seen this and had I read that. I hadn't because I didn't know how to use pinterest. 
That has changed now though, I recently spent some time exploring 
Pinterest and discovered how to use it 
how it is intended to be used.
This is not a guide though.

This Is The End. Russell Brand - Jeremy Paxman.

Russell Brand appeared on Newsnight with 
Jeremy Paxman to discuss some politics recently.
Russell had guest edited the New Statesman and his political views seem to have cast doubt
upon his credentials to undertake such a task. 
Jeremy fires some taxing questions his way and grills Russell in the same manner he would a fully fledged member of parliament. 
Russell however, responds more eloquently, intelligently and realistically than any politician would under similar questioning.

Friday Favourites #4

Everybody has their favourite places in the world. A favorite holiday destination, a favourite city break, a favourite restaurant to eat out at, a favourite room in the house, a favourite chair to sit in at home or favourite side of the couch and that's great. These are places where we have created strong emotional ties or where we are most comfortable. I myself prefer the left side of the couch, there is a cafe in Hanley that I am rather partial to and I'm quite fond of Scotland.

Disposable Monday #3

When it runs low there will be less splashing out.
Saving Money. It's so important these days to do it effectively just to be able to keep your head above the water. Now more than ever it seems since money, much like water, seems to flow in the same direction; back to where it came from. It merely passes through the fingers allowing you to keep only what you need at the time. It is a delicate balance that needs to be maintained. Keep too much of it and the ocean has less to give and there is going to be a drought. If the ocean doesn't let it go, there is going to be a drought. The ocean needs the river as much as the river needs the ocean. So what happens when the river runs low and the ocean does not want to let go?

Question #9

Well, this one seems straight forward enough. What is your favourite colour? Easy, right?
Red. That's the answer. End of blog. Thanks for reading, see you next time.
I don't know why it took so long to get around to posting this. Before I go though, there is just one other thing. No "what" question is complete without asking "why". So let's ask why as well. 
Why is red my favorite colour?

Question #10

I really must get down to completing this project. This is possibly the most eagerly awaited blog post ever. More than 5 years in the making. A much discussed and debated topic that has been somewhat divisive within the household from time to time.
The question is simple enough, so what is the problem? Why does it take so long to answer it? Well, if the answer to the question is so simple and easy perhaps the consequences of the answer are equally simple and easy and that's just not the case is it.
So, what is the answer? And what is the question?
Find out after the jump.
