R.I.P Alan Rickman
I thought it was sad when we lost David Bowie, his music I am sure had an impact on everyone who listen to it. Now today Alan Rickman has passed away. To me he was a brilliant actor who’s on-screen chemistry was second too none.
I loved him in Die Hard where he made the bad guy fun, there was even good comedy in Robin Hood and he was the clear stand out in an otherwise less than impressive cast.
Then there was the Harry Potter films, I had watched most of them and really wasn’t that keen on the acting but he again was one of the actors who made it a good franchise.
He is a true legend and shall be missed.
Top Eleven iPhone game review
I wanted too play a good football manager game and there are a lot of good elements here but there are also a multitude of floors.
Being that I am not a Chelsea fan or a Moriniho fan the game entrance is the first sin.
You enter the game and you have a home screen showing you who you play next. You get to see your previous result and your positions in three campaigns.
Next is the squad screen where you select the players you want but into my third season the game has dropped half of my team too one star players.
I consider this a floor in the game mechanics as players should be improving after each season and not go backwards. When I emailed Nordeus who made the game I wasn’t impressed with the reply. They said players stay the same except when they go up a level they go down a level!
So if you do well and it’s easy to do because I don’t think many people take the game seriously. As I won the league in my first season. In the second season I was in the Champions League, in a cup so my squad got thin.
But you’re only limited to a 25 man team and not 50 as you get by FIFA rules. So I struggled a bit as players get tired and injured.
So into the third season this game just gets frustrating. It feels like I am going backwards due to what I call floored game mechanics.
I do like the ability to expand the stadium and build it. You get a fincancial boost when all done. But even this element seems pointless.
So with a confusing league structure, players getting crap for winning promotion you are left with a sour taste.
It’s a bit of fun this game. But don’t get your hopes up as I consider there are too many floors that will just annoy you.
Jessica Jones has too much realism for me.
I enjoyed DareDevil on Netflix but Jessica Jones is more real, more gritty, more down to earth but still not of this Earth.
Shows like this have better character development, there is more scope to work with than a movie yet the comedy you get with the Iron Man and Avenger films are not present here.
Instead you are left with a very raw show with character I am sure many people can relate too.
Jessica’s life starts off when her parents died, she somehow ended up with great strength. As P.I she is lead to her arch-enemy who is played by David Tennent (Dr Who). This in turn uses flashbacks and background stories to build a slow but powerful moving story which draws you in.
At times I felt like I was dragged for a long ride and when the end came I wasn’t surprised. There was insanity like the Joker from the last Batman film series. One could describe the Jones as a wash of cold hash water over the Marvel universe. This really is the gutter of it and at this depth you get a better range of story so I am looking forward to what comes next.
I love the Three Network new mascot
I love the latest ad, I think he is cute and cool.
Tresemme it burns it burns!
Generally I like Tresemme as I have been using one of their products which is with moisturiser. But this version Renewal Hair and Scalp, Now I know what Jack felt like when he fell into that big vat of acid to become The Joker in Tim Burtons Batman! It burnt my face! I went all red.
I don’t know if people have had similar problems with this product or even other similar shampoo products.
What’s out there? Or is it under me?
For the last hour I thought something was outside making too much noise, but now I am wondering is it under my floor boards?
I feel fearful a bit rat is going to pop up through my floor! Eeeeek! Struggle to sleep and it’s only 5:30 am now!! Will it go away? Please, please go away, the scratchy, beating, twisting sound.
I need a baseball bat..
A Rustlers burger once and never again!
I was hungry this evening, so I went home via McDonalds, which annoyingly was closed at 11pm.
So I went across the road to Tesco, I still felt like I wanted a burger, I had never tried a Rustlers burger before, shoved it in the microwave and zapped it!
I didn’t use the sauce or the cheese, instead I just put some ketchup, mustard and pickle in which I had.
This has to be the worse burger I have ever had in my life. Do people really eat this shit? It tasted like recycled plastic. Chewy and gross.
I just hope I don’t have food poisoning tomorrow.
Vileda Cleaning Robot
This is what my parents got me for Christmas! Pretty dam cool Robot.
It has three main functions: Small room, which is also spot cleaning. M, for a standard size room and L for a large room. I certainly don’t need to use the large room function. You can get one from Amazon.
Gurban Gurbanov a man to watch
In this years Europa league I watched Tottenham at home to Qarabagh of Azerbaijan and I was very impressed with how Qarabagh approached the game.
They were tactically very good, very well disciplined and I saw some very nice football from the team. This was against a hungry Tottenham who didn’t make it easy for Qarabagh to play the game they wanted.
And again in the reply, although I watched the short highlights I was still impressed with how they play.
A team playing at their best and who were top of their league last season and are still strong. A lot of this is down to the manager of Gurban Gurbanov, I haven’t seen many teams perform like Gurbanov has instructed his team too. I am of the belief this man can go places. If the bigger clubs in Europe actually watch and take notes of the Azerbaijani league and notice how well Gurbanov’s effort and effect I am sure we should be seeing him in the future at some of the bigger clubs.
