Vendetta

This entry was posted in Uncategorized on July 23, 2005 by Brian

The trailer for V for Vendetta has been released. If you’ve got the Quicktime 7 preview then you can download it in glorious 1080 HD (providing you can wait for the 136MB file). Lesser versions for more mundane computers also exist.

Jilly’s is an institution. It has to be the only place in town where i can turn up in chinos and feel just as at home as the person in bondage trousers.

A little bit of rio on the streets of manchester.

I went to alexandra park first, because that’s where the signs said it started, then wandered around for a while. After fuelling up on curry goat i met up with damian and headed into town, where it really started.

It’s overcast but it’s hot. I needed water after just standing and watching. God knows how dehydrated the dancers are going to be by the time they get back to the park.

More photos to follow.

Kickstarting the Cold War

This is pretty much my excuse for nuking Berlin at the start of my next planned webcomic-

The US decision to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 was meant to kick-start the Cold War rather than end the Second World War, according to two nuclear historians who say they have new evidence backing the controversial theory.
