This is a blog about things I like.
It contains pictures, quotes, and sometimes my attempts at writing.
I'm not a vicar.
I like superheroes, comics, Star Wars, good music, TV, reading and wasting time on the internet.
I also like wearing cardigans.
I appear on Nerds on the Rocks and The Comic Anvil rather frequently. I'm known as 'The English One'.
I stand with The Avengers.
And I'm a bit of a nerd, apparently.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Answer A, I don’t need the competition; Answer B, kill yourself now — it’ll be quicker; and Answer C, if you’re not writing every day, you are not going to be a writer. That guy down the pub who tells you he’s a writer is not a writer, because he should be at home fucking writing.

It’s better if you just expect nothing. Especially from people who claim to be your ‘friends’.
really, guys?
So there’s been a fair amount of hubub about a quote from an Ain’t It Cool News article in which Joe Quesada, as a representative of Marvel Comics and Marvel Movies, disses both female actors and female characters in one fell swoop. It’s been covered by a number of outlets, but the ones that caught my eye were by Kelly Thompson and DC Women Kicking Ass. They both pretty much reflect my opinions on the comment and I’ll let them speak for themselves, but what they really did was get me to go back to the original post at AICN and read the full rundown, where I noticed this gem:
An unfortunate girl in the audience asked whether there might be a crossover between X-Men and The Avengers on film one day, and how that would impact the fact that Chris Evans plays both the Human Torch and Captain America. Mark Millar pointed out that the Human Torch is in the Fantastic Four, not the X-Men, and asked the girl who’d asked the question to leave immediately.
Really? REALLY?
I was sat next to the girl at the panel. It was intended as a joke. It just wasn’t that funny.
My brother wrote this on my birthday present.
And inside it was this.
And also this.

Everybody lies.
