Have you got a hydration vest ? I`ve been taking out 500 ml of water on my shorter runs and a full litre on my longers runs, plus a couple of gels - makes a big difference. Slow down to a comfortable pace and don`t be afraid to walk when you feel like walking too. If you`re running on the...

I did probably the toughest forest trail half marathon in the UK last year and you know who got all the plaudits ? Not the lad who won and ran it in 1hr 40 mins, but the inspirational young girl with cerebral palsy, who somehow got around the whole course on two alpine sticks and the help of a...

I`d say that the majority of trail races I do, are populated by the 40/50 age group, both men and women, for the simple reasons that trail running in particular has taken off amongst the white / middle aged / middle class, who have time on their hands due to their kids being grown up and the...

Ballerina. Started off a bit slow and laborious, as her backstory was introduced, but once it got going, it went full John Wick. The storyline of the sinister cult was really inventive, the battle with the flame throwers was off the scale and the cameo with Keanu Reeves really lifted the final...

Out in January 2026.

Full review please, as I`m going next week when the fuss has died down a bit.

Streamed these two, both excellent and both very different films on recommendation at the weekend : On Falling. This is a standout film, but fuck me it`s bleak. An introverted young Portuguese migrant, along with other migrants and a handful of poorly paid locals, works in a massive warehouse...

A disgusting corrupt money grab, nothing more, nothing less.

I don`t know what`s happened to the Telegraph, it used to be a quality paper, albeit right leaning, now it`s just a broadsheet version of the Daily Heil.

A true comedy classic 💙

I thought the best character was Akram. You`re always left wondering whether he was a good Syrian policeman or a very very bad one. Alexjej Manvelov plays the part to prefection.

Not on the same planet as Long Legs ! As @Ccfcisparks says, just weird and trippy, which leads you to start believing that you`re not actually seeing what`s in front of you.

Doesn`t surprise me, as it watched pretty much likea quasi art house film !

Watched the latest offering from Saint Nicolas Cage last night - The Surfer. What a very odd film, trippy and a real nod to 70`s film making, but highlighting about toxic masculinity at the same time. I thought Saint Nic was very good in this and despite it being so weird and trippy, I really...

It`s very good, but it`s quite off the wall, which you`ll quickly realise when you start watching it. Don`t let that put you off, as it`s pretty much a word for adaptation of the excellent book of the same name and it gets a lot darker as it progresses. There`s some real laugh out load dark...

I think you can pretty much guarantee, that anything Travis Fimmel is in is going to be good. He just has a real screen presence. He`s very good in another Aussie tv drama, which is a bit off the wall - Boy Swallows Universe.

I`ve read the very first book, that this series is based on and enjoyed it very much. Are the rest of the books as good or do they become a bit " samey " ? Assad is an absolute genius character, totally leftfield and you`re always trying to work out whether he was one of the good guys or one...

You have to wonder what sort of mess the States will be in by the time the World Cup comes around next year ? Trump has been in less than six months and he`s already well on the way to turning the country into a quasi fascist police state. Why would anyone want to go to a World Cup in America...

Spot on there with the BBC reference, maybe this is why it’s so much better than the usual plop that Netflix serves up.

Best British crime drama that`s been done for quite a while and they`ve really done the excellent book it`s come from proper justice. Every once in while Netflix pull a rabbit out of their generic pile a nothingness and this is 100% of them. Read someone describing it as a cross between Rebus...
