Moneyball and the overbearing sadness of sport. August 17, 2012 · 1:33 pm. On getting a job part four: the Dispatches episode and me. And, because they’re my stories, with me as the wronged victim. Bits of what you’ve read there if you’re still with me? Tricks of the Dole Cheats. I didn’t mean you. I know you’re looking for work. Tricks of the Dole Cheats. Seemed to be on our side. No resolutions to problems were offered either by the documentary makers or the JobCentre but it seemed to be saying the...

On graduating into the future: a commencement address. Moneyball and the overbearing sadness of sport →. September 16, 2011 · 1:10 pm. On a magazine pipe-dream. Pipe-dream alert: I am thinking of setting up a magazine for writers. I’ve thought along similar lines before – I probably first had this idea on a journalism module but it grew more into a ‘what’s going on’ kind of thing – but now I have the time, if not the money, to dedicate to it, if things transpire. Writers based in the Midlands would be pr...

The Rise and Rise of Tim Lovejoy: Benefits Street
http://theriseandriseoftimlovejoy.blogspot.com/2014/02/benefits-street.html
Monday, 10 February 2014. If you live in the UK, you probably already know about the Channel 4 programme 'Benefits Street', a documentary series which has attracted an awful lot of attention and controversy over the past month or so. Callum is, to be polite, a problem. Over the course of the episode we see Callum demanding a bowl of cereal at midnight, not going to bed until 5am, not going to nursery because? Now Mark might not know what the capital of Andorra is, or the square root of 225, but he's not ...

The Rise and Rise of Tim Lovejoy: 2012-12-30

Wednesday, 2 January 2013. New Year, New Me! Tis the season for people to make ridiculous resolutions, resolutions which they can't/don't even bother trying to manage, so why should I be any different? Here's a few that I've thought up off the top of my head. Some are more serious than others. 1) Get a job - standard. 2) Do some voluntary work - good for the CV, gets me doing stuff, makes me seem a lot more charitable than I actually am. 8) Watch every Al Pacino movie - can this be done in a year? 10) Cu...

Friday, 21 September 2012. Well, well, well, what do you know? You wait over a month for a blog entry and then two come along at once. TRAROTL is the blogging equivalent of buses, something which Will Self so eloquently whined back when I met him at a drinks reception in 2010. Complaints by us lefties wouldn't be right. That's the title, and it's one that caught my eye because, based on his previous muck, there's no way this dude is a "leftie". So, a few people call you carrot-top? Little Donkey" now, fo...

Monday, 9 December 2013. I wrote that bit before Saturday's game, so the "latest twist" is another 1-0 home defeat, this time to Newcastle, why aye mon). United HAVE to get a Top Four finish. HAVE to, because their business plan is based on continued success. You get Top Four, you get into the Champions League, which = lots of ££££, your good players wanting to stay, and the continued ability to attract the big name players from elsewhere. At this moment in time we've lost 5 games out of 15, and are 7 po...

On a magazine pipe-dream. On getting a job part four: the Dispatches episode and me. →. December 1, 2011 · 11:01 am. Moneyball and the overbearing sadness of sport. It’s not about the winning; it’s the taking part that counts. A dickhead (some time after a defeat). They’d won, what else is there to know, to want to know? But Moneyball isn’t one of. Films, nor is it about. To play Sport; it’s about how Sport is. Trying to rip your heart out, about how Sport. You as much as you. Rather than beyond baseball...

The Trouble With Essays | Srs Bizniz

The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser. On Getting A Job →. November 9, 2010 · 8:52 pm. The Trouble With Essays. This year is my final year of University, my final year of eating a diet consisting solely of noodles ‘cooked’ in mugs with maltesers for dessert and my final year of watching crappy b-movies whilst growing an ironic beard. The last two probably aren’t true, but anyway – to the point. Look at the representation of masculinity in the film Fight Club [Fincher] with close reference to Steve Neale. Within th...

Newer posts →. May 24, 2010 · 1:58 pm. The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser. A factor to applaud Herzog on is his handling of the film as not only a mythical fairy tale. And all of this brilliance and much more I could talk about (the underplayed score, the mystery of the cloaked man, the Lynchian aspects, the use of the sepia tone footage reminiscent of old Super 8’s etc etc) is available to watch on BBC iplayer. Up until the 30th of May and I heartily recommend that you take advantage of watching this or one of...
