Could not believe this story when I accidentally came across it this evening, that David Tennant has quit Doctor Who and will finish in about a year’s time. See this BBC story. I always used to watch Dr Who, in the good old days, but didn’t really hold much interest for me compared to other [...]

Marvel Comics 16% Increase
Filed Under Comics | Comments Off
This weeks comics again was the motherload and I expect not to be eating for another couple of weeks as a result. Seriously though there were some great issues out this week including Thor #11 (which hits #600 next month), Amazing Spider-Man, Secret Invasion titles, Front Line…the list goes on! Just recently I wrote about [...]

UK Bans Preachers of Hate
Filed Under General | Comments Off
Following my moan yesterday about how our ungorgeous ex-next door neighbors are being lavished with an apartment re-fit I am here today to say something positive about the UK. A very welcome policy from the Home Office, see their Press Release, to ban stirrers of hate and extremism. The release states there has already been [...]

UK Rewards Criminals
Filed Under Camden | Comments Off
Following my recent post concerning our old next door neighbors I have learnt some interesting news today. After all these people have done (disrupting the neighborhood, criminal activity, prevent owners of the place we were renting to re-rent or re-sell due to their horrible behavior) they have been rewarded for creating hell for everyone. Their [...]

I Hate Inteviews

Today I had my first job interview in Canada. Just like everyone else I am sure I really do not like interviews at all and can think of a million things I would rather do! I feel as though I make a complete idiot of myself at them. My interview to today was with a [...]

Down to the Beach

Today was more of a relaxing day for us but it was especially nice to go down to the beach. That is one of the fantastic things about living in Vancouver, beaches and fabulous views. We took the short bus ride down to West Broadway and walked down to Kitsilano Beach from there. The beach [...]

Some time ago I wrote a blog entry about UK Customer Service upon ending our services with various companies. Here are some experiences with Canadian Customer Services! First I have to say that it is so much more easier dealing with companies when you know your call is FREE. Oh yes, no more 0845 or [...]

US Election
Filed Under General | Comments Off
Have to admit that the US election is driving me nuts, all the slagging off and so on. However the funniest part is watching the creative talent on YouTube and other video sites making fun of…well…mainly Sarah Palin. Seems like she has left herself wide open to these pranks due to her inexperience in this [...]

Price of Comics in Canada
Filed Under Comics | Comments Off
Noticed recently that finally the price of comics in the US and Canada are finally becoming the same, however I have just realized this is only for certain comic companies. DC Comics for example seem to charge the same. This weeks issue of Justice Society of America was $2.99 in the US and Canada. However, [...]

Camden Hell is Over
Filed Under General | Comments Off
Haven’t really talked so much about the last two years or so we lived in Camden, London, as I was quite concerned about what effect this would have on the situation. I am so relieved to be out of there, it is a tremendous weight off my shoulders. The problem was with our next door [...]
