“Conscience has an unmistakable stink to it, sort of like raw onions and morning breath, but a lie stinks even more when it’s coming from someone who isn’t used to lying. It’s more like rotten eggs and horse shit.” (Frank Underwood played by Kevin Spacey) […]
February Favourites
Well January and February have already been and gone. I missed January favourites (that was not a stellar month for me – let’s just say a bad flu knocked me about) and it’s time to sneak these in. TV : Netflix has been busy on my electronic devices. […]

Sunday Ramblings : It’s Hard To Break Up With Breaking Bad

This week the trailer for Game of Thrones Season 5 and new pictures were released. Let’s just say I can’t wait for the show to hurry up and start. I’ve read all the books and I just want to see more action up on the screen. It’s also […]
I’m Late To The Party But Idris Elba Has An Album Out
