Despite not being in league with these devils - not yet anyway at least - hell, maybe never - I feel it my duty to raise a glass in their general direction for climbing the slippery glass mountain that is known around these parts as "doing something".
First port of call is James Moran - writer of most excellent episode of Torchwood, this Saturday's episode of Doctor Who, future scribe of Primeval and if I tell you any more, it will hardly be worth flipping over to the The Pen is Mightier than the Spork to see what it's all about. Alongside the gripping tales of screenwriting destruction, there are tales aplenty of life in the hot seat, what really happens at meetings etc... check it out, but you must set aside a whole day and start from the beginning otherwise you'll be doing yourself a gross dis-service!
Next port of call would be a trip to Jason Arnopp's blog. I like Jason a lot for many reasons - here's just two: a) I exiled him in my head because he was into thrash metal whereas I was championing all things with big hair. He wrote for proper mags but I was too busy being rock n roll to bother. Despite all of this, he writes words that look good when he puts them side by side which is really the point and b) he too can be bothered to blog words that serve a purpose... little bit of info here, little bit of entertainment there... what do you want? Blood?
Patrolling further links, David Hepworth's blog comes in handy sized chunks, best of all on there is this post. This, is the dictionary definition of 'scary' - check it here.
...and on the off chance that there is somebody on planet earth who still hasn't seen this clip, please, sit back, relax and lap it up:

While this blog might not be the best place to launch this, I'm thinking of overhauling my image for the summer. Not something I normally ever think about having so far been one of those BrundleFly types who keeps the same clothes in heavy rotation so it's something I don't have to think about - today though, in a totally non-homoerotic way - I saw this pic of Rob Downey Jr as Tony Stark and I gotta say... it's a good looking pic y'know:
