*WARNING - For this post you may require some form of imagination and/or the ability to hear voices inside your head.*
So, it’s a Sunday night, and what you want more than anything in the world is more History revision, right?
Erm… Wrong actually.
Oh really?! Then why the hell did you click on this, eh? EH?!
I thought it [...]

Twihard fans were queueing in bookshops on the 5th June for the release of the spin off to the successful Twilight franchise: ‘The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner.’ However was this worth the wait? Worth the hype? Worth the £11.99 RRP?
No. It was not. Admittedly I was not that eager to sink my teeth [...]

Who is Harris, you ask?
Arthur Harris, born April 13th 1892, (not that that’s important), was the guy who paved the way for real bombing offensives on German land. In 1942 up until 1945, when the British Cabinet agreed to allow bombing on German soil, Harris was the dude faced with implementing Churchill’s policy of force [...]

You want more nerdiness? Oh come on, you know you do.
So, the Norwegian Campaign. It took place from April until June 1940. Basically, Germany planned an invasion of Norway to conquer her and retrieve valuable iron ore resources for use in the war.
Britain, who had declared war the previous year in 1939 were liable to [...]

What’s that? you ask. Well, long story short, the ‘Phoney War’ was given its name because of the period of nothingness it represented during the war.
As you’ll probably know, ‘phoney’ means ’something that is not genuine’ or ‘fake’. Pretty much like the entirety of Heidi Montag’s face.
So, when Britain declared war on Germany and the [...]

“Okay kids, so here’s the plan.
You do A-Level History right? All about “Saving Europe at a cost”, right?
No? What? Oh…. Erm…. Then I guess just carry on with whatever you were doing.”
Oh, you do? Good good.
Come with me.
Right, where was I?
Ah yes, for the next two weeks, the Wiggle is now a HISTORY REVISION SITE! [...]

I missed last week. Why? Because exams are coming up and I feel like I need to concentrate on them.
Well actually, I planned on concentrating on exams, but ended up sitting on Twitter and watching videos of Glee and Lady GaGa on Tumblr all day.
Fail much?
So I felt it was only right to post a [...]

Don’t you hate when people over-hype things?
Like, for instance, some loser in a newspaper will say ‘TAKE THAT WERE AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHZING!’ so you’ll buy tickets. However, once you see the show, you’re actually like ‘wait, why did I buy tickets for this crap? OH WAIT, that stupid fucking newspaper told me to.’
That’s why, although I always [...]

After repeatedly seeing screen-caps and quotes from this movie on Tumblr.com, I felt the need to watch it.
So when I saw that the DVD was on sale in HMV for £8 last week, I snapped it up straight away.
I’d generally heard that it was beautiful, funny and original, but I never really thought it’d be [...]

Shiny Happy People… That’s weird, because it seems that no one is shiny or happy in this episode.
Instead, I’m going to name this episode ‘Remember December’. Why? Well, there are 2 reasons.
1) Demi Lovato guest stars in this episode and this is the title of her hit song.
and 2) Remember in December when everyone was [...]

Hello again! It’s Monday.
As in “I Don’t Like Mondays” said the Boomtown Rats. What a tune, by the way.
But we love Mondays here at the Wiggle. Mainly because we love music. And music = Monday!
Song #1: Bittersweet – Sick of Sarah: Sick of Sarah are actually a relatively unknown band. I only actually heard of [...]

I’m gonna go totally cheesy today and re-name this episode ‘Final Heartbreak’ after the Jessica Simpson hit (?).
Of course, I’d be referring to Callie & Arizona when I say this, and hopefully it is the FINAL heartbreak for them, because when (AND THEY WILL!) get back together, they’ll be together for all eternity.
Surgery of the [...]
