Graphic Novels : Faker

I was talking to a friend the other day about my passion for comics. Yes, I will say it, I am a grown man, who likes comics! Anyway, I think you need to blog what you know and I know that "Faker" is a beautifully crafted story that has "Hollywood Block Buster" written all over it. Faker tells the story of College friendships that changes dramatically after a hard night of drinking. I have to admit that I actually read the first ten or so pages and got bored initially, but I pressed on and was completely engrossed by this clever tale of friendship pushed to the limited.

General : My Family Holiday 2009

So, me, myself and family have returned home early from a short break in Scotland. Where we visited and stayed in a tiny place called the Southerness, it a quite literally a few houses and a famous lighthouse built back in the 18th century, which has been effectively rebuilt a couple of times.

Anyway, you can see why we cut the holiday short, the weather was awful! I was actually soaked to the bone!

Oh, Trust the Scots to have a real Wickerman of sorts.

Only kidding, but it was very impressive and about thirty feet high!

Health : Worst Fear!

I haven't really chance to post this weekend. My mind has been a little preoccupied after an MRI scan of my knee and a visit with a knee consultant, which confirmed my worst fear. My cruciate ligament is snapped after a footballing injury in 2007.
