Sometimes, I miss Troma Night. Hanging out with my friends and watching awful/awesome films over pizza and beer.
If only there were a way to do it during lockdown?

On This Day In 2004
On this day in 2004 Claire and I hosted the eleventh ever Troma Night, a weekly event that became a central part of the social calendar of our friends for about six years. I've dug up some old photos, so I thought we might enjoy reminiscing about how young we all used to look.

Troma Night Adventure
Because I promised you some Aber-nostalgia.
Do you remember the RockMonkey Wiki? Many years ago, Ruth bought the domain name rockmonkey.org.uk as a gift for Andy K, who'd been nicknamed "Rock Monkey" for longer than anybody could remember. He decided that what he wanted to host there was a wiki engine, and I helped him get … -

Matt In The Hat introduces The Deadly Bees for Troma Night 300 (Censored Version)
Matt In The Hat's video introduction for the second film at Troma Night 300 (Friday 16th April 2010), The Deadly Bess. This version is necessarily censored to comply with YouTube's position on penises, but the original video didn't have this censorship: and nobody at Troma Night knew what was coming until it was right in … -
Troma Night 300
This Friday's Troma Night will be Troma Night 300! It's hard to believe how much time I've spent at this, our weekly film night. I wonder how many pizzas, in total, have been eaten? How many awful films we've groaned at?
I'm planning that for this special Troma Night we'll temporarily revitalise some of the old … -
The 17 Blog Posts That Weren't
It may come as a surprise to you that the stuff I write about on my blog - whether about technology, dreams, food, film, games, relationships, or my life in general - isn't actually always written off-the-cuff. To the contrary, sometimes a post is edited and re-edited over the course of weeks or months before …

After JTA and I's monster plan for a great April Fools' joke got rained-off this year (maybe another year), I just had to go ahead with two smaller April Fools' gags this year.
The Photocopier Prank
A nice simple joke at the expense of the people in the office building I work in (and far less complex … -
Board Games And Waterfalls
It's been a fun, full weekend. Highlights include:
A good Troma Night
In case you weren't following, Troma Night is on Fridays nowadays. We watched the fantastic 1945 film Brief Encounter, which I'd highly recommend, and Lava, which I wouldn't (although if you do see it, watch 'til the end: it improves, I promise).
Same about the early … -
JTA Makes A "Bin Bag Coat"
JTA had forgotten to bring his coat with him to Troma Night, so he quickly fashioned himself a makeshift coat out of bin bags. Unfortunately, it had stopped raining in the meantime, and so he ended up looking like a bit of a wally.
