Crime Busters With Zimmer Frames
Crime Busters With Zimmer Frames
Saturday 23 May 2026 01:00 PM
OK, so I admit to being easily amused, as well as famously pedantic.

That it happens a lot might illustrate how frequently authors fail to envisage their central characters still dodging lead and slinging punches forty years after their crime fiction debuts.

Your Air Conditioner Could Save a Bird’s Life
Saturday 9 May 2026 01:00 PM
Birds are not decorative extras in the urban frame. They are part of the mechanism that keeps urban nature functioning, helping hold the balance between insects, seeds, pollination and the fragile web of biodiversity that still survives between roads, towers and heat-soaked concrete. In Thailand, where extreme urban heat is becoming a sharper public issue, that warning suddenly feels urgent, not theoretical.
Korea Beyond Seoul: Places That Redefine What “Popular” Should Mean
Friday 8 May 2026 03:27 PM
Is popularity in travel just a numbers game, or should it be about the soul of a place? Seoul undoubtedly dazzles with its neon lights and endless energy, but it barely scratches the surface of what Korea truly offers.

If you don’t like horrific and brutal horror films then stop reading right now because Lee Cronin’s The Mummy is not the film for you. I’ve seen some pretty confronting horror films over the years, some so full-on they have never become general releases in cinema, but I have to admit that I have rarely seen a horror film that has had me looking away from the screen as often as this film did.

Here in Phuket there are some great places to experience the natural world, some well known and others not so. Not only the national parks, mangroves and jungle areas, there are so many beaches, islands, coves and bays all teeming with life. Yes, we all know the main tourists locations that we see advertised everywhere, such as Maya Bay, James Bond Island, Pileh Lagoon and the Similan Islands, and yes, these are well known and part of the must see, bucket list places when in Phuket.

It may come as a big surprise – but it looks like the film that might divide audiences the most this year is none other than The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. If you have been following what has been said about the film during its opening week it seems like people either love it or hate it – there is not a lot of grey around this film.

Every now and then a movie comes along that is so difficult to write about that I actually find myself procrastinating about it when I sit down to do so. I certainly found that to be the case for the brand new film from director Kirill Sokolov (Why Don’t You Just Die) – They Will Kill You.
