TV to die for. If ‘Boredom’ was a disease.

Posted on March 29, 2009 by Wayne

BAD TV. We’ve all been there . . . Ok, you’ve just watched the first segment of a TV programme about ‘Dave’ – a man with an irrational fear of pastry who has just returned to his job at the local cake factory after a 3 year break. He is traumatised, but takes his first…

Learn to play an instrument – if I can ANYONE can!

Posted on March 24, 2009 by Wayne

Musical Myth Number 1: Being able to play an instrument is a unique, innate skill. You either have it, or you don’t. I have to admit, this was a view I was forced to agree with during my formative years. This was partly due to the fact that many relatives would constantly remind me of…

Can an iPod Replace A Live Band?!

Posted on March 22, 2009 by Wayne

I have been performing live gigs with various bands, playing both original material and more recently covers, for well over a decade now and in that time I have noticed a worrying change in the expectations of live audiences. Particularly at weddings now, it seems that punters want all the entertainment and spontaneity of a…

Will The Real St Patrick Please Stand Up!

Posted on March 18, 2009 by Wayne

B’Jesus, b’gorrah, and top o’ the mornin’ to ye. Yes, horrible isn’t it? It’s also a perfect example of the lazy stereotyping that drinks manufacturers now resort to when marketing ‘St Paddy’s Day’. As someone who actually has some Irish heritage – my grandad is from Kilkenny (check the surname if you please) you’d think…

Wii Fit . . . Me Fat.

Posted on March 16, 2009 by Wayne

“Hello, Wayne. Oh dear . . . . did you know it’s been 231 days since your last visit?” “Has it really been that long?” I innocently reply. “You know very well how long it’s been, young man, and I must say I can tell by looking at you that it’s been a while –…

Fellow Geeks Unite! Are We Not Men?

Posted on March 15, 2009 by Wayne

Most of the time I feel like a fairly capable, intelligent person. And whilst I have all of the athletic prowess of a common garden snail and the physique of Benny Hill, for the most part I am assured of my masculinity and social standing. Fair enough, I wasn’t educated at Oxford or Cambridge nor…

Thankyou for the Music . . .

Posted on March 13, 2009 by Wayne

Potentially not a great start to the day: Awoken by my 7 year old daughter at 7.20am who calmly informs me that I seem to have overslept by about half an hour. She, however, has washed, dressed, tidied her room and now wants to borrow the laptop to prepare for the opening of the markets….

Twitter and a blog? What next – Fire?!

Posted on March 12, 2009 by Wayne

I tried Myspace for a while (still pretty good for music – check out www.myspace.com/thekicksbanduk), fell in love with Facebook and then only a week ago, my friend and boss virtually had to force me to try Twitter. Have to admit I was sceptical, as I already find myself wasting too much time of an…
