Let’s address the obvious first and foremost and take a moment to appreciate what journalists are doing in certain parts of the world at the moment. While the tabloids are going crazy over Cara Delevigne’s holiday with Selena Gomez, there are people from across the globe who are quite literally the front line of communications […]

The Six O’Clock News: It’s Okay, USA
How many of you guys are from Missouri, USA? Me neither man, I’m not totally sure where Missouri is. But I do know that a load of shit is going on there at the moment, in the town of Ferguson. This BBC article has a good (detailed) explanation about what’s gone on – I think […]
The Ten O’Clock News: In Which Smithy Fixes FIFA
I’m not sure how much longer the football world cup is on for so I’d better chat about it while it’s in the news. To start off, I’m with Gerard when it comes to giving a shit: Seriously though, when did football become the biggest sport in Europe? Why has a bloke biting another bloke […]
The Six O’Clock News: Easter-Themed Post #2
I’m aware that the news hasn’t been brilliantly analytical lately and hopefully this will be remedied when school’s over and I have less on my plate. In the mean time: The BBC’s got this new interactive-education-scroll-y thing called iWonder, and this one explains the history of passion plays, which range from thanks to God for […]
The Eleven O’Clock News: TV Reviews Are Funny (and so is the fact that this took ten hours to make)
This is so not-at-six-o’clock because every time I went near anything Sherlock-based online I either tried to lift everything from Sherlockology for The Webways or sat watching Benedict Cumberbatch interviews. Hardest name I’ve ever had to type. Very interesting in interview. Anyway, I had so much fun reading reviews that I decided to highlight them […]
The Six O’Clock News: a Report on Reports on Kiddie Fidling
Since I’m seeing MSI play roughly at time of publication, I thought I’d do a post on paedophiles. No. Wait. (Don’t sue, there’s a link if you keep reading!) We Asked Lostprophets Fans How They Feel About Ian Watkins’ Confession Vice asked some Lostprophets fans if they were still Lostprophets fans and the general consensus […]
The Six O’Clock News: Some Men Still Live in 1800-and-Something. Happily, Some Don’t
The Case Against Female Self-Esteem So there’s a man named Matt who has a blog and on it he likes to be rude to people. In this particular post was recommended to me by Chloe (who did some guest blogging a few weeks ago). It’s hard to see through the bullshit and work out what […]
Olympics III: the Blues, Boris Dancing and, Basically, a Review
The YouTube videos won’t load either because iPhone files are enormous, or because the Internet’s being slow, or both. So I’m going to talk some more about the Olympics while they load pathetically. I’m really bummed out that the Games are over. Not quite ‘sad’ or ‘upset’… I feel kind of… ‘blue’. It’s not a […]
