My life in London (and its environs). Delusional if rather sweet – Samira Ahmed. Reel Power: Hollywood Cinema and American Supremacy. Bull;November 9, 2010 • Leave a Comment. Hullo there. Over the last few days I’ve been reading a book about Hollywood and how it reflects and bolsters US cultural and military hegemony. I reviewed it for the Morning Star. But I’m sure they won’t mind if I post the rambling, non-edited version here on my blog. Reel Power Hollywood Cinema and American Supremacy. It did this ...

Moving | Jamboshoeshine's Blog
https://jamboshoeshine.wordpress.com/2011/02/02/moving
My life in London (and its environs). Delusional if rather sweet – Samira Ahmed. Moving’s rubbish. I’ve done it far too much lately (the past five years). I understand why people* buy dwellings, then spend all their time and money making them exactly how they want it, then sit in it watching box sets and drinking wine. It terrifies me, but I understand it. So, both on and offline, my possessions are in a mess. I made a start at a photo album in spring 1998, writing dates and sarcastic captions and us...

Guildford – Dorking: The North Downs Way | Jamboshoeshine's Blog
https://jamboshoeshine.wordpress.com/2010/11/01/guildford-dorking-the-north-downs-way
My life in London (and its environs). Delusional if rather sweet – Samira Ahmed. Guildford – Dorking: The North Downs Way. Oh alright, it wasn’t like that at all. But it was a set of instructions and not a map, so we were expecting to get lost, bewildered and possibly savaged by a bunch of stockbrokers who had ‘gone native’ in the Surrey Hills. It was nearly Halloween, after all. We came across (but not upon – that would be sacrilegious) a wonderful old Norman church on a hill called St Martha̵...

My Letter To Ed Davey | Jamboshoeshine's Blog
https://jamboshoeshine.wordpress.com/2010/11/27/my-letter-to-ed-davey
My life in London (and its environs). Delusional if rather sweet – Samira Ahmed. My Letter To Ed Davey. I wrote to my old mate Ed Davey. MP for Kingston and Surbiton and now Minister for Employment Relations, Consumer and Postal Affairs. I tried to keep it polite. There were various other things I wanted to mention, but I decided to keep it brief and to the point. Dear Mr Davey,. But now I do. And now it’s too late. Oh, and on a more local note, I would be interested to hear if there is any progress on t...

Chips And Cheese, Pint Of Wine | Jamboshoeshine's Blog
https://jamboshoeshine.wordpress.com/2011/02/01/chips-and-cheese-pint-of-wine
My life in London (and its environs). Delusional if rather sweet – Samira Ahmed. Chips And Cheese, Pint Of Wine. It’s nearly February already and I’ve failed in my new year’s resolution to blog more. Or I would have had ‘blogging more’ been a resolution. I don’t do resolutions. I’m not the UN. I do vague hope. Much like the UN. And so there we were, and as the lights metaphorically went up we were singing along to Tonight We Fly. Because when we die, will we be that disappointed or sad? 2 Responses to &#...

North Downs Way: From Dorking to Merstham | Jamboshoeshine's Blog
https://jamboshoeshine.wordpress.com/2010/12/01/north-downs-way-from-dorking-to-merstham
My life in London (and its environs). Delusional if rather sweet – Samira Ahmed. North Downs Way: From Dorking to Merstham. It’s been weeks since we completed the second part of our great North Downs Way adventure. If I don’t write about it now I never will, so here goes. Gaps in memory will be filled in with creative lying, or magic realism. Whichever is more suitable. As we walked up the hill we could hear parents shouting at their children during the traditional Saturday morning matches being played o...

Lost Property | Jamboshoeshine's Blog
https://jamboshoeshine.wordpress.com/2011/01/21/lost-property
My life in London (and its environs). Delusional if rather sweet – Samira Ahmed. I also now have last year’s diary back, which is good. I use old diaries to remember what I did and didn’t do. 8221; “No.” I felt a little sickly glimmer of following-the-rules pride. By jamboshoeshine on January 21, 2011. TFL Lost Property Office. 4 Responses to “Lost Property”. But has Ian Bell resurfaced? James (the other one). Said this on January 21, 2011 at 4:26 pm. I’ve been too busy today. Next on my list! Just walke...

My life in London (and its environs). Delusional if rather sweet – Samira Ahmed. New House / New Bike. It’s sunny today so I thought I’d do a blog post that shines and shimmers with optimism and Good Things. Downstairs are our two housemates’ rooms, and a bathroom with a freestanding bath and the most riduculous power shower I have ever experienced. It is mighty. It washes away all dirt and doubt. Downstairs again is a cellar, featuring lots of storage space and a nice picture of a dog. The housemates ar...

https://jamboshoeshine.wordpress.com/about
My life in London (and its environs). Delusional if rather sweet – Samira Ahmed. I now live in London – currently Stroud Green, but that’s bound to change at some point. I will write about London related things, for the most part. I also write about music, books, computer games and steam train themed festivals for The Guardian. And The Morning Star. If you have a Nintendo game that needs playing. A book about SF that needs reading. Or an indiepop gig that needs going to. Then I might be your man. Love Is...

My life in London (and its environs). Delusional if rather sweet – Samira Ahmed. First Seveno match report of the season: vs. Queensbury. A new captain, a new era for Seveno. One of the delights of playing for Seveno CC is the opportunity it gives to visit areas of. London one would never otherwise see. Preston I think we were in Preston was once. A small hamlet which suffered terribly during the Black Death. More recently, a local. Double Paul opening bowling partnership. Paul Harker soon found an e...
