On the Road Again
The beginning of the Irish chronicle. Our epic journey started in Plymouth with an easy two hour drive to Bristol airport one sunny Saturday afternoon.

Back to the Future…Part III
I’m back! And Christmas is over. So there has never been a better time for a vaguely Christmas-themed special. This time, I’m playing Back to the Future Part III on the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis for the American folks). If I told you the game was great…I’d be lying. It’s not one I would recommend,…
