    Have a look at it mate, the application process is really straightforward and easy ( compared to other charities ) It`s the right time too, with the kids being off on their Summer hols, if you were to apply now, you`d have all the admin and vetting sorted by the time they go back in early Sept (y)

    I can fully understand the cost, as the cast is amazing. Maybe one day someone will be brave enough to give it the Game of Thrones treatment that it`s crying out for.

    Just finished series 2 of - Sandman ( Netflix ) They`ve really upped their game with the cast, as it`s almost like a who`s who of British acting talent, with loads of cameos from some big names. The production and special effects are every bit as good as the first, but the fact that central...

    Volunteering

    The reason for this, is that charities and volunteers are more and more filling the void where professionals like Social Workers used to be. When I did voluntary work for the big national charity Scope, at a local childrens hospital, I was doing things like putting families in touch with...

    Volunteering

    Have a look at the School Readers charity. They`re crying out for volunteers nationally and once you sign up it all happens very quickly compared to other charities ( from my own experiences ) I was given the choice of three local schools who wanted a volunteer and chose a pioneering local...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    London is just an amplified version of every other city in the country. Lots more people > lots more crime > lots more money to make from crime > lots more serious levels violence related to crime. Are there parts of it that you wouldn`t feel safe at night or even go to during the day, due to...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Recently finished it. Parts of it are hilarious, not just his cheating, but the way he invents championships and trophies for himself. Parts of it are not so funny, the way he stiffs small contractors and businesses that have done work for him at his golf courses. I`ve just finished another...

    Volunteering

    They still have to cover their arses and go through all the stuff a regular employer would have to do. Anything at all to do with kids or could potentially put you in contact with kids, requires a DBS ( the old CRB ) Most charities have mandatory online training too. When I first started over...

    I`m a big fan of A24 and if you look at their CV of films, it`s very impressive and varied too, from stuff like Spring Breakers, to the Lighthouse and the Witch ( which scared the life out of me ! ) I think Bring Her Back would`ve been a better watch on the cinema, rather than streaming, as...

    That left me confused too, as although later on it revealed who he was, there was nothing to say how he`d got there and how he`d become the conduit for the demon during the ceremony ?

    Considering the major part he played in the film, it`d have been nice to know something other about him, other than he was missing :ROFLMAO:

    Bring Her Back. This was a horror that`s been on recently, but seemed to have only got a limited release, so I missed it and ended up streaming it. It`s from the A24 studios, who`s most recent film was the really good low budget -Talk To Me. Set in Australia, a teenage brother and sister are...

    I do two afternoons a week volunteering : I do a Tuesday afternoon for a small local mental health charity, where I meet up with an isolated elderly fella, who has controlled mental health problems and spend a couple of hours with him - go for a walk in a local park and go for a coffee. He`s...

    Breaking bad gets a bit silly and starts to stretch the bounds of credibility. Saul never does that.

    The writing and casting is exceptional. Some of the supporting cast are as good as Saul - Mike and Kim in particular.

    Climate change and activists

    Cows are one of the biggest methane producers on the planet too, which is very bad for the global environment. There`s also a hell of a lot of energy that goes into producing solar panels ( just like most things that are manufactured ) and they`re extremely difficult to dispose of in any way...

    Red Riding Trilogy. Just about to drop on Netflix. Based on the books of the same name, written by David Peace who did the Damned United. Originally released in the mid 90`s, so a lot will have missed it first time around. Follows a young reporter in West Yorkshire, as he covers the...

    A nice little session on the float with my lad this afternoon, catching little roach, some of which we‘re transferring to a new pond that‘s just been built on a golf course by us tonight, once all the fellas in silly clothes have gone to bed !

    The biggest thing that takes up space, is the tackle box, which you can pretty much do away with if you’ve got a fold away chair to sit on ? The rest of the stuff doesnt really take up any space at all. You can quite often get all you need off the likes of eBay, as people get rid of loads of...
