Okay, so we realised we are heading into the year 2014 (duh)! And we need to bring you all up-to date on the latest films that will be released next year because we are “hip” and we “know” what we’re talking about. Continue reading
2014 is set to be a year of comebacks, follow ups and musical wonders we’ve been excited for for quite some time. Here are just a few.
Merry Christmas from us at Lincoln&That!
Trucks and Christmas clearly go together like, well, nothing. So what better way than to celebrate Christmas Eve than by watching not one, but two festive themed episodes of Eddie Stobart. Yes, it’s all about the trucks on Channel 5 this Christmas.
There’s nothing better than Christmas TV. No seriously, there really isn’t. Yeah yeah a lot of it is absolute crap but that’s the joy of the festive season. As an avid crap TV watcher myself (when I get the chance) I’ll tell you about the joyful showings on Channel 4 for Christmas Eve and Christmas day (be prepared for the utmost excitement)…
If you’re sat with a mince pie in one hand, a sherry in the other and just happen to be wondering what you can watch on ITV across the next couple of days, this is the post for you. Continue reading
If you need a little guide on what to watch this Christmas, we have the best, hand-picked shows we think you should watch. BBC has to be the one we all put on because they have NO ADS! NO ADS! (Unlike those other channels). Continue reading
With only a couple of days till Christmas, you might need to venture into the city centre to pick up a present for the relative you forgot about or that friend you weren’t expecting a gift from.
You’re now faced with the dilemma of how you’re going to get there. Continue reading
Christmas, it’s a time of joy and goodwill to all men and woman. Obviously anyone who says this has never experienced shopping in the seasonal period.
I for one don’t usually mind Christmas shopping, or so I think, until I actually go… This happens every year. I think “ooh” I’ll go to look in so and so in town and then immediately regret ever leaving the house.
The new Candy Crush?
Unless you live in the middle of a deserted forest with no internet, you’re bound to have heard of and probably been captivated by Candy Crush Saga at some point during 2013 (or, if you’re like our very own Emily Normington, you’ll still be playing it…)
But as times change, so do popular apps and the newest one to storm the app stores is Papa Pear Saga.
It is of course produced by King, but works very differently.
The aim of the game is to satisfy the needs of a set of animate paint pots at the bottom of the screen by filling them, you guessed it, with pears! (You probably didn’t guess it, unless you actually have pear loving paint pots in your garage).
Sound easy? Well, it kind of is. You just shoot the pears out of a cannon, destroying all the obstacles blocking the path between you and the buckets, scoring as many points as possible.
Ignoring the fact that shooting a pear out of a real cannon would probably destroy it, that they probably wouldn’t be appealing in to real paint pots in any way and that pears don’t actually wear hard-hats, the concept is pretty fun.
As you progress through the game, you unlock bonuses to make your life that bit easier. A personal highlight is the exploding pomegranates, they’re just so fruity and so dangerous at the same time.
One annoying thing carried over from Candy Crush is that you have to rely on Facebook Friends to give you new lives, so if you don’t have friends, or Facebook, or Facebook friends that play Papa Pear, then you’re going nowhere soon.
But we are enjoying the Spanishness of the title. How exotic, pears are so often associated with Spain, it makes so much sense…
Sugarcubes is Lincoln’s finest alternative club…well Lincoln’s only rock club. It’s also known as Cubes. Continue reading
One of the first posts we ever did on this site was called something along these lines, and I looked at “big club anthems” and what was likely to be played. The irony is that I never go out because I dislike loud, cramped spaces and hot sweaty people standing too close to me.
But I’ve just discovered this which changes my whole view on clubbing.
If Home in Lincoln can play this (or indeed any other equally good establishment, we’re not advertising), it will make my evening and I will start attending nights out.
I can’t help but feel that if Miley Cyrus had released stuff like that to begin with, then we wouldn’t have the problem we’ve got now.
Also, this, “Wideboys Club Remix” of the annoying foetus of pop Conor Maynard has even managed to make one of his more boring songs (and that’s saying something) actually listenable.
Lincoln, you have been challenged. Start playing terrible pop but amazing remixes, then I shall attend your clubs once more.
(Oh yeah, also I don’t like alcohol, which kind of kills it for going out for me).
