Complain on the Train!

So yeah, I'm writing this sitting on a train.

I've seen people do this before, sitting on trains, on their laptops typing away working on some kind of work project.

I on the other hand, I am doing this so no-one sits beside me.

I know that sounds terribly unsociable, which is extremely unlike me, but you guys probably haven't had the public transport experiences that I have!

I'm not just talking about your typical smelly Joe or Jane Bloggs, even if that is one of the major contributing factors haha. I'm talking about people who have either too much stuff, or too many kids!!

Because the trains that I get are designed with tables and 4 seats around them, if I end up on my own, families of five, sometimes more, decide to to sit beside me! So then you have one parent next to me with all their shopping getting stuffed under the table and some on top. Across from me will be two kids sharing a seat and the other parent with a screaming young child on their knee.



So you end up squished into the window, with the parents shouting at the kids, or even each other!! And to top it off, the two squirming kids who have been jammed into one seat together are now kicking me under the table.

I know, #firstworldproblems and all that....but yunno what? I decided to just say what the Kieran and take up all the table space for myself.

Oh and I uploaded a new show to my Mixcloud!! Go have a listen!

What do you guys dislike about public transport? What do you hate most planes, trains or buses? Or do you think I should just keep quiet and deal with it?

Choo-choo-toodle-oo!!

I know, it's been a while....

Like the title says, it's been while.

How you been? Good? I hope so!!

I have been busier than, than....than a thing that is so busy it barely slows down to think!

Also, its been really sunny and nice the past couple of days where I am, (I know right? Scotland hot!), and heat does tend to make one lazy.

However during my absence, a few things happened that I feel I should talk about. But I'm going to start with this!

Batman Eternal issue 1


Although I am a bit of a geek, or so I'm told, because of where I was brought up, there was no comic book stores. I was unable to embrace the comic lifestyle as I wanted to. 

The first way I got into the characters because of the early 90's cartoon shows, yunno Batman TAS, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Superman TAS and so on. 

I did buy a few graphic novels over the years but anyway....getting off topic, I do enjoy a rant.

I took a trip to the new(-ish) comic book store that's closest to me, (I say ish because it's been open a year now) and grabbed both issue 1 AND 2, because I hadn't realised it was going to be a weekly!

I opened the book to one of the most striking first panels I'd ever laid eyes on...



Gotham is in flames, and it's saviour bound, bloodied and very broken. The dialogue that surrounds him is more mental anguish, to defeat and undermine him further. 

The fact they have shown what is eluded to be "The End", its a plot device I really enjoy in movies, so I'm extremely excited to see how it works in an illustrated format.....illustrated format? who the f%&k talks like that? I'm extremely excited to see how it works in a comic!

We are then introduced to Detective Jason Bard, his first appearance in the New 52 continuity. The way I read it personally, I thought he would be the one who's perspective the comic would be viewed in.

Anyway thats a brief introduction to Eternal, I will however do a proper review once it reaches issue 5, so look out for that.

Are you excited about the Batman Eternal series? What are your theories? Or even just ask me a question if you want! 

Oh and I put up a new show on my mixcloud! So go give that a look What The Kieran Mixcloud

Or if you have no idea what I'm going on about just say What the Kieran, maybe the next one will make sense xD!!
