Halfway between creative working and working creatively. Are you simply the things you like or are you more? Can you be more creative by changing what you do? Random acts of senseless beautality. That's what I'm interested in.

- Football: Prem 2012 week 22
  Manchesters, Manchesters, so much to answer for. This was a key week in the title race as the Manchesters strode further away from the chasing pack. Of the five teams below them only Chelsea picked up any points.

  Runtastic. After the purge and splurge of Xmas and New Year, I've decided to regain my running fitness. Here's my current playlist.

  After the cake and blowout of the 'festival' period, we present our predictions for the rest of the 2011-12 Prem season. Will it be the year of the Manchesters or can anyone else mount a serious challenge?

  The apocalypse is upon us if the videos at BUG are any indication. Burning houses, check, dead people on telephones, check, appalling Glasvegas video, check. Oh and a top Monster Truck video.

  With so many comic book film adaptations being so poor, is there any hope for the upcoming Watchmen movie? Based on this trailer I'd like to think so.
- What We Learned From Engerland v Mexico…
  A win is a win and all that, but that's about it. Mainly because, with a shocking lack of skills, midfield influence, possession and tactical nous, it's all that Engerland can realistically take away from this game.
- What We Learned From Prem Week 9
  What do you give the man who has somehow alienated everyone? Aside from playing badly, public drinking, smoking, whoring and pissing in the streets, what has Wayne Rooney done for us recently?
- What We Learned From Germany vs Argentina (4-0)
  If ever there was a completely convincing argument for World Cups being about teams rather than individuals, this was it. The evil mincing machine that is Jochim Loew and his Germans do for the chaotic brilliance of Messi, Tevez, Di Maria and pimp superstar Diego Maradona in the game of the tournament so far.
