Well now I’m back in Belfast, and have a PC at home, I’ve downloaded the BBC’s iMP program, as I’m part of the trial.
Basically, the iMP (above) lets you download any BBC programme from the last seven days and watch it on your PC. If you have a certain mobile device as well, you can [...]

Well I’ve had a busy old week at work. I’m beginning to wake up in the middle of the night thinking of things I have to do, which is a sign of the old stress I think! Managed to shoot three films this week though, so I’m beginning to get ahead. Basically for the next [...]

Well, after all the palava I had trying to join Holmes Place (basically they hassled me in to giving them £100 and then the next day started an offer which meant I would have saved that £100), I finally joined a gym this weekend.
It’s the Reebok Sports Club at Canary Wharf, which is really nice [...]

Well until I got an e-mail at work this week, I’d never heard of Ipecac, but it’s consequences can be very funny. Basically it’s a drink which makes you vomit in around a minute. The e-mail I got at work this week was this video, which is a guy in the street drinking it for [...]

I heard the new Madonna single on Chris Moyles this morning, and I gotta say I LIKE IT! It’s about time we had some decent pop music in the charts again.
So, I was interested when iTunes sent me an e-mail today saying that you can download the track today if you pre-order Madonna’s new album [...]

Well I get a lot of my clothes from Hollister - a clothes shop in the US owned by the same people as Abercombie. They do a cool loyalty programme called Club Cali, which is pretty generous (giving you money off etc.), and if you spend over $500 with them, you become a gold card [...]

I caught another film at the weekend there, which is quite similar to The Station Agent in that it’s set in a small town (this time though, it’s Australia). Somersault’s is a coming of age story really about a girl who runs off when she’s caught snogging her Mum’s boyfriend. It was easy to watch, [...]

Well another weekend in London this weekend, but at least I had a bit of a trip out yesterday. It was scorching here which was nice for a change! I caught the train from London Bridge (above) to Bluewater, Europe’s largest shopping centre, which is in Kent.
It was weirdly relaxing on the train - I [...]

Well I was out filming yesterday in Luton with our two presenters, and little did I know how manic it was going to be. To be honest, it wasn’t fun. We were mobbed, harrased by drunks, and in the middle of it all we were trying to make TV. I was also responsible for a [...]
