Yes, We Are Going To Review The LEGO Movie
What To Expect From Walkabout
It’s that Australian bar. Yes, that’s right.
Richard and I went along to it after a tiring day at university (LOL #thirdyearlife) and found it to be quite pleasant. Continue reading
How Not To Be A Dick On Valentine’s Day
It’s simple really. Don’t be a dick on Valentine’s Day.
Tomorrow Is Singles Awareness Day!
Hearts, flowers and far too many soppy couples are set to take over Lincoln this weekend.
What Not To Do With The Revolving Doors
On the 7th November, just to be exact, Richard Morris wrote a lovely, little entertaining piece called “Yes, it’s not just you, those revolving doors are annoying.”
We know, we know that you have been waiting for these vlogs since November. Sometimes we just have to wait for the best things in life. Yes, our vlogs are that phenomenal.
Well here is what you have been waiting for.
NekNominate More Like CRAPNOMINATE
So, we’ve all heard about this NekNominate thing. My first issue with NekNominate is how they’ve spelt it, shouldn’t it be spelt like this neck-o-nominate? That makes more sense and now it looks like it’s been spelt correctly too. Continue reading
There’s Going To Be A New “River Island”
If you’ve had the joy of walking along the High Street in the past couple of weeks, you’ll notice that there is a major construction project happening near the Lloyds Bank and opposite(ish) Boots.
THERE’S GOING TO BE A NEW RIVER ISLAND.
So, if you’re like me, and fancy spending £30 on a single shirt, then you’re in luck.
I tend to find it is the kind of shop I only want to go in once I’ve got some gift vouchers, but fortunately my family have cottoned onto this to the extent that one Christmas present is always a voucher for said shop.
At the moment in store there’s a lot of shirts with pictures of Amsterdam (through various Instagram filters) with the word “AMSTERDAM” emblazoned over the top of it in some hipster fonts, so if you’re a fan of that kind of thing, be my guest (I’m not, I have terrible fashion sense, I can basically just about pull together some colours as a “theme”…and that’s me being generous about my own abilities).
It also says outside the new store that they are “recruiting”, but they’re not, I did a search and there are no jobs available at all at the new store. SO IT’S ALL LIES.
I wanted to get a Saturday job so I could graduate with at least some level of money, but apparently they don’t want Fashion Supremo Richard Morris working for them.
As I went to hit “Schedule” on this post, I was made aware that in fact The Lincolnite, a more serious and boring news source, has already done a story on this, so if you want to be bored to death click here.
Take Me Out
Sooo, you know what Take Me Out is right? That programme with all those cheesy one-liners like “let the apple see the crumble”, “no likey, no lightey” and all that jazz. If you haven’t heard these ultimate corny sayings from good old Paddy McGuiness then there is a wonderful selection for you.
Anyway, last year St Barnabas Lincolnshire Hospice set up their own Take Me Out event to raise money. The event starred 8 hopefully men and 20 girls on the stage, hoping to win a free meal and date at Nandos. I mean come on who doesn’t love free chicken right?
This year the event came back for a second time. It saw mental dancing, guys strutting their stuff, women doing the splits and backflips; and oh, a guy put a glass eye in his mouth (yes, that DID happen and ew).
What Is Inside No 9?
It’s been almost 24 hours since this bizarre comedy graced our screens.
If you missed Inside No 9, then seriously, stop whatever you’re currently doing. Cancel any plans for the next 30 minutes.
Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith have brought us yet another amazing programme, but in the usual weird style. After Psychoville, we’d expect nothing less than creepy characters and shocking storylines.
Episode 1 is appropriately named ‘Sardines’. The hiding game, which you’ve probably never played (unlucky). If you’re still confused, Yahoo has the answer to everything. No really, it does.
If all this talk of sardines has made you a bit peckish, here’s a load of recipes you might want to try.
So, the entire episode is more or less set in a wardrobe, the best part being when Ben Willbond, (the attractive one from Horrible Histories), joins the fun. Who wouldn’t want to be trapped in a wardrobe with Ben though? Really.
If you’re on the edge of your seat, click this wonderful link to visit BBC iPlayer. If you’ve already seen it, episode 2 will be opening its door next Wednesday at 10pm on BBC2.
Tomorrow Is Bobble Day!
It’s time, ladies and gentlemen, for the day you’ve had marked in your calendar all year….Bobble Day!
And no, it hasn’t got anything to do with hair bobbles.
I’m not sure where Phil from Flickr found this hat, but I want it. Seriously, who doesn’t want to be a space invader? Photo: Phil Oakley (via Flickr)
As you’ve probably guessed from the pic, it’s actually all about bobble hats and is part of a campaign by Age UK to get everyone to wear their woolly clothes and bobbles all day.
Why?
Because if you haven’t already noticed, it’s pretty damn cold at the moment. But whilst most of us take heating and warmth for granted, lots of old biddies out there can’t afford to heat their houses.
Age UK are trying to raise money to help warm them up a bit and Bobble Day is a huge part of this mission.
Stokes’ Coffee on the High Street are selling badges with bobbles on for £1 as part of the day and one lucky person will win some free tea and cake next week. And come on, who doesn’t like cake? When it’s free, well, that’s basically heaven on a plate.
Georgina Garrett and Helena Burt from Lincoln’s Age UK had a little chat with us about this. Listen below.
Superbowl In Lincs
One of the biggest events took place on Sunday 2nd February. It’s called the Superbowl. The Seattle Seahawks vs. Denver Broncos. It was pretty obvious by half time that the Seahawks were going to win, they scored 43 points by the end of the night and only 8 measly points by the Broncos. Continue reading
Have You Played… The LEGO Franchise Games?
What I mean by this is the LEGO Harry Potter, LEGO Star Wars, Batman, Lord of the Rings etc. games.
I am actually blown away by how good these games are.
I’ll put my hands up and admit something, I am not a gamer at all. I have a Wii and a PS3, but the former is only for parties and friends coming round, and the latter is mostly used for Netflix and iPlayer, and occasional playing of the SSX franchise, with a few blu-rays thrown in.
I recently had the joy of playing around with a friend’s Xbox One for a few hours (it’s a nice piece of kit), I tried a few different games, Forza Sport (racing, unbelievable graphics), Assassin’s Creed (I discovered I’m not very good at this), and LEGO Marvel Superheroes.
The last of those three had me playing for two and a half hours before I even realised any time had passed.
Despite being a kids game, the whole format is basically a 3D platform game in which you become different Marvel characters in order to solve puzzles in the form of LEGO bricks, and while it is a kids game, it is unbelievably addictive.
It’s also rather amusing, and has some wry comments towards the real movies, such as when Spiderman says to Iron Man, “Wait a second, the Hulk can’t go through small spaces? That’s a plot hole from the films”.
The games are only around £15 in GAME, the same price on Amazon. They’re well worth a look at if you fancy a few hours killing in between essay work.
Here’s a video of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone as told through LEGO Game cutscenes, I love the humour.
