TOP 5~ Christmas Songs * Number 1!*



The Pogues & Kirsty McColl - Fairytale Of New York

This top five has been a personal list and I’m sure a lot of you out there will disagree with my choices. But I think that’s what Christmas songs are all about, personal memories and moments. I just love the fact that It’s not a sentimental soppy Christmas song. I mean with Lyrics like~

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse

LMAO! It’s a song you yell out when you’ve had one too many, and many a time I’ve swayed to this with my arms around my mates at the end of some Christmas party or night out. This song reminds me of one time when I was staggering home one Christmas eve (this tune still in my head) around 3.30am and I met a chap out walking his dog (omg ~ yeah at that time of night) and we stopped and wished each other a Merry Christmas. It was bitter cold ~me in a shirt and this fella all wrapped up. I think that just for a few days Christmas changes peoples attitudes and every one does seem to wish each other well, good and peace. Have a very Merry Christmas and may all your dreams and wishes be fulfilled in 2010. Beaky Claus! ;-))

TOP 5~ Christmas Songs * Number 2!*



I Believe In Father Christmas - by Greg Lake

This song reminds me of one of my earliest christmas memories. My dad used to work at a Brick Works making...er..House bricks. He'd be up around 4.30 and bike to the works. I remember being up and sat by the big old christmas tree we used to have, with the lights twnkling and my mum and dad in the kitchen sorting out his pack up. I remember it being so very dark except for the glow from the christmas tree lights, me eyeing up wrapped presents under the tree. And this song playing on the radio in the background. Just bliss. Always makes me think of that moment when i hear this song....of a little boy sat by that tree filled with christmas excitement....even if he was half asleep.

TOP 5~ Christmas Songs * Number 3!*



John Lennon~Happy Christmas (War Is Over)! Just what can you say about this mans genius! Very focused in his beliefs and this "christmas" song just sums that up. Always reminds me of my dear ole mum (it's ok...she is still with us..lol) preparing Christmas lunch on Christmas morning. Sherry in her hand and paper party hat on her head and this playing in the back ground. Timeless!

TOP 5~ Christmas Songs * Number 4!*



Bowie and Bing~ Little Drummer Boy!

Ok..ok..i know it's cheesey and has gotta be the "oddest" duet ever in the history of music. Just a song that sends shivers down my neck when Bowie comes in and hits the vocal near the start. Imagine sat by a log fire, snow on the grown and the world locked out and this playing. I like Cheeese!

The Tree is up!



Me Tree is up!! Wooo! With a fanfare and a list of Celebs a mile long that attended the switching on of the christmas lights At Beakys Pad~Here is ole faithful! I never had a real one and just get the ole plaggy one i have out the loft year in~year out. Lol. Merry Christmas~BAH BUMHUG!

Robin Reliant Space Shuttle Challenge - Top Gear



Forget NASA~oh yes! Hammond and May are convinced that they can make a car fly up in the air on the back of a rocket AND land it safely on the ground. Watch here to find out if they successfully completed the challenge.I know it's near 10 minutes long...but it's a must see.

Down to London 2009~Click Pic to enlarge!



Well, my day trip to London was just brilliant...it really was. I sooo enjoyed it and we just managed to have a laugh none stop. My day started Early with my Alarm going off at just before 6.30am. The train we were catching was leaving my home town at 7.35am. Up and at them, dressed and grabbed a quick mug of tea. I didn't bother with any breakfast coz I knew we were going to grab some when we got down to London. I gave Jay a ring and met up with him down the bottom of the hill and we walked up to the train station It's only about a 25 minutes walk down to the station. Stopped up at the cash machine on the way down and got there with 10 minutes to spare. Gaz and Sunny turned up shortly followed my Ryds and Skelly. The train was running near on ten minutes late but that was no probs. We'd booked our tickets weeks and weeks ago thus giving us reserved seats already. The station was very busy and looked like all the seats where taken on the train when we sat down. Didn't take us long to get down to London. There was only one stop at Leicester and it was right thru' then. Must of taken about hour and a half...if that. The station that we pull into down at London is called St Pancras. It's now the main hub for taking a train off to mainland Europe (Mainly Paris) thru' the Euro Tunnel (Or Chunnel has it's known ~ English Channel-Tunnel...get it?). They have spent millions on doing up the station and it looks more like a Airport terminal now than a train station. It's fantastic. When we got to St Pancras we all said "we gotta go to Paris on the train soon" ..lol! After getting some day tickets for the underground we walked down to KingsCross station and caught the "tube" to Covent Garden. There is an Italian place that we always go to for a Breakfast. Bring it on...alll fried fatboy bust ya heart English Breakfast. lol. Bacon, eggs, sausage ~the works. We sat there and decided what to do for the day. We all agreed to head up Leicester Square from Covent garden then on to Piccadilly Circus and up Regent Street. We wanted to get a few bits for Christmas and Regent Street (and Oxford Street) is the place to go to shop. I wanted to go to Hamleys which is a famous toy store. I wanted to get something for my Niece. The rest of lads wanted to have a look in there too...lol ..big kids. Awe you could spend hours and hours in there. 5 floors of every type of toy you could think of. Just awesome. We spent a bit of time on the gadgets floor. They let you "test" (ok..ok..ok..so it's play) with some of the stuff. We all had a go on these like mini helicopter things. Ooops....what mistake that was ~on their part! lol. Crash....er...we put the controls down and walked off whistling...aherrrm! Spent about an hour in there all told. The store was rammed to the rafters. I got Ellie a little London bear dressed up has a Soldier Guard (bear skin headwear ~wasn't real bearskin...ok?-lol). From there we crossed over the road and went into the National Geographic store and had a nose about. Next up was down to Regent Street and cut thru' the Mall and onto Horse Guards Parade and the barracks there. Crossed over near Downing street and by Whitehall and the Ministry of Defence and down to the Thames. Time for a pit stop. There is a boat on the Thames that we always go that is a floating Tapas Restaurant. We had a beer there and chunky chips. Bliss. Watched the river traffic go up and down and looked out on to the London Eye (its a massive Ferris wheel). The sun was out and we just kicked back and chilled. We decided that next time we come down we'll get a boat up river and head for Tower Bridge and on to Greenwich. See the Observatory and Median time line, the maritime museum and the Cutty Sark (ole Clipper sailing ship that unfortunately caught fire a few years back but they have or are resorting it). After Chunky chips we headed up to Westminster Bridge, Big Ben and the houses of parliament. We were going to then catch the tube down to South Kensington to the Natural History Museum. Gah...the line we needed to get was closed due to maintenance work. So, Westminster station was closed. It meant hiking down to Victoria station to get the line to cross over on to another line to get to South Kensington. We walked up by Westminster Abby and down to the station. Awe. Made it to the Natural History Museum and they had an ice rink out the front of it. lol. Looked fantastic. We stood watching people whizz by, some falling over and some do a lap by clinging onto the side of the rink. lol. Made our way into the Museum and it was just like how I remembered it from being a kid. They still have the massive skeleton of the Diplodocus in the main hallway. The Building is just soo very beautiful too. All in stone and the more you look at the arch ways and doorways the more you see. Animal and plants carved into the stones and blocks. We were in there for like 2 and a half hours. Just awesome. Did the Dinosaur area and the highlight is a big life size T-rex ~all animatronics and roars. Brilliant. We were "thrown" out of there around 5.45pm and decided to head back to Covent Garden and have a beer. Any bits the lads needed to get they could do so from there. I just wanted a seat...and a pint. lol. The train back was due at 8.20. Leaving Covent garden around 7ish the group of us headed back to the St Pancras. There was a champagne bar on the platform there and so with around 45mins to kill we went for it. lol. Was great...listening to all the different languages and accents walking by has we sat on these high stools quaffing Champers. lol. See...told ya i was posh! lol! We got on the train at 8.15 and was away on time. Straight back up to Leicestershire. Had one laugh on the way back...Skel needed to toilet and could not work out the door to get in there. So, I went back with him to help him out. The Nipple head had been trying to push the button to open the outer doors of the train....idiot. Lol. I showed him the right door before he tiddled his pants! Mmmm- missed out on a trick there now didn’t I? loll I think he should lay off the Champers from now on. Awesome day though and I didn’t take noooo rockin' that night to get sleep.

Jolly Boys Outting~Horse Racing!




Phew! What a weekend!! Last Saturday I was off on our yearly Jolly Boys outing to the horse races. Every year a Bus load of us have a day out at the races. We drink, we bet and we act like a bunch of school kids for the day. Aherm. It started off on the Friday where I stayed around me mates out (Jay). His dad came down and we ordered a Chinese take out and have a couple of tinnies. We were being picked up from Jays house by his dads boss and his son who was then going to take us over to Leicester for the bus pick up that would take us down to the race course near Cambridge. Had a bit of an early night and was on the blow up bed for 11-ish. Got up around 6.30 and we grabbed a quick mug of tea and was out the door for 7.30. Met jays dad's boss, john and his son Jason (another one~lol) and we got to Leicester around 8ish. In the paper shop to get a paper with the horse racing cards in and had a quick study of those while the rest of the bus all met up. Seen some old face from previous years and the banter was quite good. The Bus turned up at dead on 8.30am and we piled on to it. Gessh....bit of an old nail this bus was. I had to move seats at one point coz the bloody roof was leaking. I had water drip down the back of me neck and over me newpaper at one point. Bloody ole knacker! The plan was to get down to this pub half an hour from the track and stop off for a full English Breakfast....couple of pints and then get to the track. We made good time down to the pub (it was called the "Woolpack"). Nice place to be honest...in a small quiet village, very olde~worlde. 1st pint of the day at just after 10am. Gah! It was to be the 1st of 16 that we sank that day. It could of been more but that’s how far I could remember. Not good...it's not big or grown up...I know...I know! We sat down and had breakfast. Was beautiful...bacon, sauage, beans, fried tomato, mushrooms, fried runny egg and toast. Just what we needed to soak up some of the ale we would have. Polished that off and then went back to the bar to study the guide. I'd about decided on what horses i were going to bet on. 3 more pints later and we got on the bus and headed off to the track. The race track we were heading to was called Huntingdon. It was a tiny little race track to be honest, the smallest i'd ever been too. But it was new, modern and very well kept. We piled off the bus and got a drink in. We then headed to the paddock and checked out the horses being walked around the trainers enclosure. Now, for the first race everyone backed the favourite...except me. The odds where so low it was hardly worth a bet on it. So, I went for the second favourite and was lucky that I got it at 5-1 in the betting. I then went down and stood near the finish line and watched the race. Mine romped in...lol....i was going a bit loopy if i was honest. lol. I put £10 and so got £50 back plus my original stake. Get in. Well, i must of had my lucky pants on coz i got 5 winners out of the 7 races. This earned me the nickname for the day has Dangerous D. All you heard all day was "what you going for on this one Dangerous"? Sheesh! By the end of the race card I was £150 up! I kept betting at the same trackside bookie and I think he was getting sick of the sight of me. lol. But, yeah...cracking day....and it got better. The last race was 3.15 and after that was done we had one for the road at the track and headed back to bus. No one was left behind this year....you alllways get one or two that misses the bus somehow....too drunk and stupid. lol. But, nope~ everyone made it on. Back to the pub where we had breakfast for an evening meal. Steak and ale pie. Awe...was starving by then. I think I took the pattern off the plate I polished it off that fast. We then had a few hours to kill at the pub...chilling out. Our little group ended up playing cards...and yup~ Dangerous cleaned up again. Another 20 quid~thankyouverymuchly! lol. Just a lucky day...I don't really gamble to be honest...prob' have a bet twice a year to be honest. Around 7.30 we all got back on the bus and headed home. A great day was nearly ruined by one idiot who could not handle his ale and wanted to start something up with another bloke~ I still don't know what that was over but it soon got sorted and they were split up. We got picked up around 9ish and went home. Phew...what a day! Sunday~well it was cancelled. I slobbed in bed until 11.30~watching football and Rugby highlights. I got up...had a brew and then Jay called saying they were meeting up town for a Sunday lunch. So, I did that...took a walk up town and had a big roast dinner which about sorted me out. I got home late afternoon and that was it...i fell asleep~woke up....fell asleep....and then pottered about the house. Next weekend...London for the day! ;-)

Remembrance Day~We should Never Forget....



Remembrance Day – also known as Poppy Day, Armistice Day (the event it commemorates) or Veterans Day – is a day to commemorate the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and of civilians in times of war, specifically since the First World War. It is observed on 11 November to recall the end of World War I on that date in 1918. (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS.

In Flanders field the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

~~By Major John McCrae, May 1915.~~

Haye shocks Valuev to take title~Click Pic to Enlarge!



Regular readers of my Blog might remember me reporting on a Heavyweight boxing match that was going to take place for a world title. The strange thing about the fight was the fighters and their stats’ about their height and weight…reach….etc. The title holder who is Russian fighter Nikolay Valuev was taking on Britain’s David Haye. Valuey, who stands at just over 7ft tall and weighed 7stone (98lbs) heavier than the challenger. If you saw the picture I posted at the time you could see the massive difference in the fighters and instinct would tell you that there would be only one winner. NOT SO! Haye took the Russian Giant the distance and won on points to be crowned the new heavy weight champion of the world. Approximately 10,000 fans were in attendance at the Nuremberg Arena, including a sizable and vociferous British contingent, to see David do what many thought was impossible and slay Goliath.
Even more remarkable, Haye managed to do it with a suspected broken right hand, which trainer Adam Booth said gave way in the third round.
"His head is solid, the hardest thing I've ever hit," said Haye. "It's like hitting a solid brick wall.
"I'm pretty sure my hand is broken, but it's a small price to pay for being the heavyweight champion of the world."

The Bigger they are….the harder they fall!

Great Central Railway FireWorks Display.


Last night I went out to a fireworks display over at Quorn. Its all ran by the Great Central Railway which is all part of a Steam train trust. Nine of us met down at me mates and made a steady walk up to the old steam trust. Skelly had brought some bottles of beers over with him so we were supping on them has we walked down to the old Great Central railway. There was a bit of a queue when we got there but we soon got thru' the front. The weather held quite fair apart from the odd spot of rain. We got down on the old platform (it's been used in loads of films and TV programs due to it's authentic setting) and looked at the Engine quickly that was to take us down the line to the display site. It was called the "South Yorkshireman". Now i am not a geek at all when it comes to trains...far has I'm concerned...they get you from A-B...job done. But this thing was huge....the wheels alone where taller than me. The engineering that had gone into it. We went up the platform and the only room was left was in the last set of carriages. Wow! It was like being on the Hogwarts express. It was the old style carriages with separate compartments. We piled in the carriage too our seats. Lol..and had a beer. It was funny because we got talking to a Anorak (that’s some one who is over enthusiastic in some thing....they all wear Anoraks it a big pocket in the front with notebooks and such in ~ lol. Hence Anorak....if ya still strugglin' in my meaning...they are a geek in a subject ~ his being steam locomotives). I thought he was going to shoot his load when the train starting to ease out of the station. Sunny, who was sat next to him kept asking him bloody stupid questions and my other mate Huey kept nudging me with his elbow and nodding his head. Typical I get a fit of laughs....flippin' eck. I was about crying...just laughing soo much it hurt. I think it does when you try and keep it in too. lol. Anyway this guy (and he was a nice chap ~ I know it sounds like I'm taking the piss and being horrible ~ I'm not) told us all about the track, trains, the platforms and other events that the steam trust ran. It took about 10 minutes to get to Quorn Station and the lights dimmed in the carriage has the dynamo that powered the lights slowed has the train did. We filed out and joined the hoards on the main platform. The atmosphere was just something wonderful, with the smell of the engine and the sounds of the fair over the track. We crossed over the track and on to the waste ground near the stacks of wood that made up the Bonfire and around to the hotdog stand. We grabbed a bite and by then they were just about to light the bonfire up with the Guy on top (the Guy is like a scare crow made up that’s s'pose to represent Guy Fawlks who tried to blow up Parliament 100's of years ago ~hence he is called the Guy). The Fire on the Bonfire was slow to get going and at one stage all that was coming out of the stack of wood was thick black billowing smoke. I thought we were going to get engulfed with it at one stage. Then the fire really got hold and before you knew it you could feel the heat kicked off the Bonfire. We then headed for the Beer tent but saw that the line to get served was like a mile long....ok, perhaps not quite a mile but it was bloody long. lol. With the Fireworks being lit within ten minutes we decided to hold off and moved back towards the Bonfire. Spot on 8pm the first fire works went up. Was quite a good Display which last 15minutes. I love hearing a crowd of people watching fireworks go up....all the "Woooooo's" and "Arrrrrrrrh's". lol. I did enjoy it too. hehe. After the last set and final crescendo of fireworks hit the sky we headed back to the beer tent. Timed it to perfection. Everyone was still "wooooo-ing" from the last burst of colour across the night sky and we were at the font of the line for a pint. We all grabbed a jar and ended up sitting on the bales of straw. We decided that we'd get the 9pm train back to Loughborough station and then head up town for one last drink. On the way back there was only standing room only but again...ten minutes and we were back on the main platform. We ended the night up the Orange tree pub. A swift Guiness and then headed our ways home. Really good night. Will do it all again Saturday night has the University have a display and Bonfire on too. Well, depends on the weather. ;-)

Soaker or a Scrubber??



This just shows what sort of rubbish us Lads think and talk about when we get together in a group. You can sooo understand now when it’s said that Men never really grow up. The other night at football (Hey..nooo red card this week…was a good boy~aherm) after we’d played we were getting changed and some one said they were off home to get a shower and then some one commented that they were off for a soak in the bath. Now one lad who always seems a bit slow on the up take with everything was asked (and again just to embarrass him more than anything) if he washed his stinky arse. To which he said he just gets in the bath and lets it soak. LMAO! SOAK? I mean I’ve heard of dishes and pans being left in soak in a washing bowl but never your arse. Thus started a debate on if you wash your crack or leave it to soak? Look…I did warn you!! Lol!! So,…what are you…a soaker or a scrubber?

HAPPPY CHRISTMAS!!!!



Happy Christmas! Yes, it’s Christmas!! It must be! Since Mid October television has been flooded with adverts for Christmas related goods. "Order sofa’s now~ delivery guaranteed before Christmas"! Shops selling kids toys, shops selling cosmetics and they are all to a theme tune of “I wish it could be Christmas every day” or “Merry Christmas everybody”!! SCREAM! IT’S CHUFFIN’ OCTOBER!!! Phew…Deep breath! Lol! This Christmas I’m actually spending in a chapel. My mates and I have hired a place out for a week. Some of us can never win at Christmas with trying to get to see family and if like me your parents are split it embarrassingly becomes a tug of war of who is seeing who and where you will spend Christmas day. Throw into the mix my sister too who wants to see her big bro (I can understand that…aherm..cough) and you just end up being stretched. Some of my friends are in the same situation too so this year we decided that we’d hire a cottage out and do it this way. Thus if our families want to come and see us, they can do so. Anyway, this cottage has turned out to be an old chapel. See the picture above. Sleeps 10-12….so, we should get a good crowd in. I’m in charge of the Turkey for the big day~lol! Just going to get a Turkey crown and be done with it. The place we are staying at isn’t a million miles from Manchester Or Birmingham so we will have a few days/nights out there and we will leave it open ended so if some one wants to just come up for a night..then I’m sure we can squeeze them in. Quite looking forward to Christmas this year now…HOPE IT SNOWS! ;-)

Air Guitars out~ Kasabian~~Underdog!


A new song by Brit band Kasabian called Underdog. You might of heard this from an advert for Sony TV’s. Turn up ya sound and blast the neighbours away! Just love the intro to this. If I was a rock star and up on a stage with women throwing their underwear at me, this is the sort of thing I’d want me strings to wail. We all have songs that we would play air guitar to…WHATS YOURS?

Seing Red!



WELL, what a day yesterday and the saga of getting new footy boots and then playing in them. I had split my last pair the previous week. The sole was coming away and I split them over the bridge of the foot area. I decided that yesterday morning I’d get up and go up town early in the morning before work to get some new ones...only to find the place closed and the opening time was later than I thought. So, I had to go into work (late) and still with no new boots. Anyways, I got out of work early. I gets down into JJB Sports (it's a massive sports shop chain we have here). They were a bloody waste of time. Wanting around 50 quid for a pair of footy boots...and I go thru' them pretty quick so there was nooo way I was going to pay that for a pair. lol. Sooooo, I walked up town from there and into a couple of smaller sports shops. Ended up having to shelve out around £27 for the same pair that JJB had on sale for £50! wooo...resulllt! lol. So, rushed home, sorted me kit out....got me pads and new boots on,...and headed down to the sports hall to play my first match in them. Its just a 5-a-side league that’s run every Wednesday and we are current champions. WELLLLLL.....blush....Good news....we won 9-3...lol..wooooooo! Get in!! So, that’s a result of 10-4 last week and 9-3 this one. Ok...um..er..the bad news...um..welll....whispers....I got sent off....Cringe! lol. Foul and Abusive language. lol..blushh! The red mist descended. lol...I do have a little in my defence for doing it though...but I do feel embarrassed about it this morning. There was only like 3 minutes of the game left so it didn't make any difference. Ok..the story..lol There was a scrawny little tattooed nob-head that was playing for the other team and coz we were so good (yes, I think 9-3 result allows me to boast that) he resulted to trying to kick lumps out of us...and some of his mates thought it was a good idea too and were trying it on too. I got a elbow in the face in the first half of the game did wonders for my looks) and did get a free kick for it. Then in the second half I got a knee in the thigh and I’ve still got a bit of a dead leg from that even now. Then the final straw was (and remember he was doing this all game to the our younger lads too and we were not getting any protection from the ref) was when I had passed him with the ball and he took a swipe to take my legs from me. I just about manage to keep my balance and avoided crashing into the brick wall. Nothing...the ref gave nothing....said he was playing the advantage to which I asked "who too"? He said nothing...so I just said "well, if that’s the way we are playing it....fair enough". So, two minutes later I splatted this idiot against the wall, ball and him..the lot. He got a free kick...coz it was a foul but he got up and squared up to me, I did think he was going to take a swing so I got him by the collar and pushed him away....um..and that’s when the effing and jeffing came out. I cannot remember what I said...but there was a lot of "F" Words and some. I told him if he ever squared up to me again that "I’d rip his head off and shit in the hole" (I was told this after the game by the other lads~LAMO! The manager and ref got in between me and this lad and pulled me away. lol...that’s when he gave me a red card...said I’m sending you off for "foul and abusive language"! lol. So, early bath for me has the saying goes. Anyway, I had a word with the ref after the game and he told me that he was trying to play an advantage for the foul I got...to which I pointed out it's only an advantage if I’ve got the ball still. I did say sorry to the ref for my language but I would always defend myself either on the footy pitch or not. My team took the pee a little after the game too...calling me "killer"....lmao! Cheeky buggers! It's so not like me and I do fell soooo embarrassed about it now in the cold light of day. lol. Holds head in shame! Fat lot of good the new boots were!!

Squirrel's Nuts!



This little bugger is getting ready for winter. He scurries about digging holes in my bloody lawn and “plants” a verity of nuts and seeds that have a tendency to then sprout Spring time into little chestnut or oak trees! I watch the little sod from my conservatory window ploughing up my lawn. Lol I’ve not named him yet…any suggestions? BTW…in the picture above he is stealing some sunflower seeds from a old husk left over from the summer.

Mad Kayaking!!



Anyone fancy it? I'll get me Rubber ring and armbands out!

Women Drivers! HELP!


Been a very dangerous week for dear ole Beaky. Hanging out with friends and showing various vehicles owned by us. From the picture you can see that all demonstrations ended up in a crash or some sort of pile up. All I can say in MY defence is that each one had one thing in common. YES! Women drivers! Lol…Took me ages to Panel beat my arse back into shape. So, has you can see from the pictures above that men are better drivers. Discuss. ;-)) Thanks to Tam, Paige, Kiz and Xan (and Mark who took me to Hospital a few times).

Top Gear - Car-Boat Challenge


Thought it was about time to have a Top Gear Challenge on the pages again. This time the lads have to buy a road car (Or Van in Hamster case) turn it into an amphibianus vehicle. Simple?

Fluent in 2-year old!


Once a week at least I get to look after my little Niece “Yoda” (ok..so I call her Yoda just to annoy my sister~aherm). She is just over 18 months old and is heading fast to her 2nd birthday. Her favourite TV show is a show that’s a bit like Teletubies in style. It’s called ‘In the Midnight Garden’. See the picture above of the characters. Her favourite is Makka Pakka (the brown thing on the left~Yoda points and Calls him Ma’-Ma’-Marr) Who likes nothing more than collecting and washing little stones. He also enjoys washing and drying the faces of the other toys. It’s a horrible little show because the bleedin’ songs and “catch phrases” are so catchy. Times I’ve been working and I’ve caught myself whistling one of the character intro’s. I have now decided that I’m more fluent in 2-year old than English. Shaddap ya cheeky buggers!!

Wow! Click Picture to enlarge.



What an Amazing picture...very sad...but wow!

Just when you thought you'd seen it all.......



CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE!

Noticed the other day at work when i was washing my hands after visiting the bath room, a note that has been pinned up on the mirror above the wash basins. It's a poster expalaining on how to wash your hands. Yes...on how to wash your hands!! lol I kid you not. Seems that we really are becoming a Nanny state. Next week i hear they are going to post ones around the department for "doing up your shoe laces", "drinking out of a cup" and one on "how to breathe and blink". ;-)

Is it me...or does this look like a Mis-Match?



These two are going to slug it out for teh heavey weight title in November....LOOK AT THE BLOODY SIZE OF THE RUSSIAN!!!

Haye promises knockout

Hayemaker promising KO when he takes on giant Russian in November

David Haye insists he can knock out Nikolai Valuev after squaring up with the giant Russian at the venue of their November fight in Nuremburg.
'The Hayemaker' fights Valuev for the WBA world heavyweight title on November 7 in Nuremburg, and he had his first glimpse of the size of his task at Tuesday's press conference.
Former cruiserweight king Haye does face a huge task, with 7ft 2in Valuev the biggest heavyweight champion of all time standing in the opposite corner come fight night.
Haye was dwarfed by Valuev as the two men met in Germany, but despite that fact the 28-year-old still insists he can stop Valuev for the first time in his career.
"Now I've been eyeball to eyeball with him and seen the arena, it makes it all that much more real in my mind," said Haye.

Gotta love the line that he has been eyeball to eyeball with him...lol! Who ya Money on then?

Elbow~One Day Like this.



I have only just sort of discovered this song about a month or so back. It's by a band called Elbow and i first heard parts of this song last year when the Olympics was on. The BBC used the sweeping violin parts when showing results or of the days events coming up on the show. I never knew it was from a "pop" song and Elbow had never been a mega popular band until the release of their last Album, the seldom seen kid. It's not a bad album, worth checking out on spotify (try itttt-it's freee....freee music~just a 30 second ad every 3-4 songs). Hope ya like it....let me know what you think...oh, and yes...i have no idea what the video is about...but ya kinda get sucked into it. Cerrr-mon...put ya hands up who WOULD'NT do that while doing that sorta work?

Leicester City 2 Blackpool 1



Went to watch my local Footy (Soccer-i soo hate that bloody word!)team over the weekend. It was a glorious day weather wise which helped the beer go down better. The home ground is the Walkers (you might know them better has Lays the chip makers-based in Leicester)Stadium and holds around 32,500. The attendence on saturday was just shy of 23,000. The day was made sweeter by the fact that we won and are now 3 points of top spot in 6th place. BLUEEEE ARRRRRRMY!! "When you're smiling, when you're smiling, the whole world smiles with you,
"When you're laughing, when you're laughing, the sun comes shining through,
"But when you're crying, you bring out the rain,
"So stop you're sighing, be happy again,
"Cause when you're smiling, when you're smiling,
"The whole world smiles with you, Ahhhh, (wiggle hands in the air)
"The whole world smiles with you, Ahhhh, (wiggle hands in the air)
"THE - (hands open for each word) WHOLE - WORLD - SMILES - WITH - (wiggle hands in the air) YOOOOOOOOOOOU!
"Oh LEICESTER (Clap clap clap),
"Oh LEICESTER (Clap clap clap),
"Oh LEICESTER!!~~~aherm....cough.... ;-))

Check out my Plums!



The last few years i've had a go and growing my own veg. I've always been this sorta guy that was never up much for gardening and always saw it has an old man thing. lol. I had never grown a thing in my lige other than toe nails and hair. So, i thought that with having a spare patch of ground in my garden i'd have a bloody good go and growning some veg. I have had some sucess and was quite proud of the stuff i'd got to sprout out of the ground. People who know me will have been bored to tears about the size of me carrots over the past few years. This year i've been slack not planting anYthing. I had a crop of strawberry's, Raspberrys, blackberrys and Rhubarb~but they were already planted from previous years. I do have a plumb tree in my garden and after a fallow year it went bonkers this one. I did get quite a bit of fruit from it which i've been farming out to neighbours, family and even work. There are only sooo many plumbs you can eat alone. Eeeee-getcha Gums around me Plumbs!

After coming back from my hols i had another week off from work. I spent this time doing some work on my house and pottering about the place. One day thoough i took some time off plastering and painting to take my Niece out to Bradgate Park. Bradgate Park is Leicestershire's largest and most popular country park. It comprises of 840 acres of land with grass, heath, bracken, rocky outcrops, small woods, herds of deer and the River Lin. The Park also includes the ruins of Bradgate House, the birthplace and early home of Lady Jane Grey (Nine Days Queen of England.) Old John Tower folly, a well known Leicestershire landmark, stands on the ridge of high land. (psst-yes i did just copy and paste that-lol). My Niece is about 18-19 months old so she loved feeding the ducks her (jam) sandwiches and looking at the deer (see the pictures i took above). Its only 4-5 miles from my house and it's just a lovely place to go and be away from town and such. AND yes...i was incharge of the pushchair and i did do wheelies with it while my Niece was in it. cackle!

Newquay~Summer Holiday!


Well, this year due the current Monetary climate there was no jetting off to some Mediterranean beach or some far flung adventure. Some of my friends are in the state of worry over their jobs or just simply could not afford it this year….me included. So, we decided that we’d go down south to Cornwall and do the camping thing. It’s always a laugh and if the weather is right then you just cannot beat it. Well, we booked into a site a few months before because a good site can get booked up very fast. We didn’t fancy getting down there and ending up in some cow field being chased by some angry bull coz he thought we’d be butting in on his chicks-er-aherm. Me mate Skel booked it and left it at that. The site sounded great. It wasn’t until nearer the time that we found out the site was in fact an 18-30’s camp site and with looking it up on youtube we found that teenagers videoed themselves rallying about the camp site until the early hours with music blasting out. Gah…then the next problem was the weather. Rain. It gave out buckets of the stuff to fall that week. DARN IT! So, we needed a back up plan and we found one. Was really lucky and managed to get a 8 berth static trailer van right in the Centre of Newquay. We went for it. Lol! The weather was off and on all week. Had a few good days but even on the poor days we found stuff to do. Did some surfing (I stood up once too~wooot me!), went to lands end and watched a huge firework display. Went to St Ives and had a clotted cream ice cream and Cornish pasty. Did a Cyder farm (and for those of you that are wondering, this is alcoholic proper Scrumpy you can see from the website here-http://www.thecornishcyderfarm.co.uk/ ). We were about battered that day. Ya have to try the free samples. OMG! They did it all, wine, mead and the apple and pear Cyder. Visited a place called Perranporth and drank at the Aussie beach shack. They had a battle of the bands on which was really good. Did a BBQ one night and on one rainy day even went to the movies to see a right lads movie~Transformers 2. Nuff said about Megan Fox. Lol The pictures above from the top left and centre are of Chapel Port. They used to mine tin there. Bottom left is Minehead which is in Somerset . Top right was the beach at PerranPorth-it’s known for it’s surfing. Bottom right is St Ives which is very picturesque. And centre right…BBQ TIME! Next year…we are going abroad for some sun…I can tell you. Plus, can you imagine the smells of 6 blokes in a caravan over a week? ;-))

NEW FOOTY SEASON! Leicester City 2 Swansea City 1


Martyn Waghorn and Dany N'Guessan went on off the bench to score debut goals and give Leicester a 2-1 win over Swansea on their return to the Coca-Cola Championship.
Sunderland loanee Waghorn and N'Guessan were introduced by manager Nigel Pearson with the Foxes trailing to Ashley Williams's header.
Both scored in a three-minute spell to turn the game on its head.
Until then, the Swans had looked like clinging on to a win to end their opening-day hoodoo – they have now lost their first game in the past four seasons – especially when goalkeeper Dorus de Vries saved a Steve Howard penalty.
City looked bright in possession early on, with summer signing Richie Wellens quickly impressing the home faithful in the heart of midfield.
But Swansea took the lead after 15 minutes.
Mark Gower had a shot deflected wide by Matty Fryatt and took the resulting corner, which he delivered perfectly for the unmarked Williams to power home a header from six yards out.
But the first City goal finally came midway through the second half when Lloyd Dyer broke down the left and squared for Waghorn, whose shot flicked off Garry Monk on its way in.
The Foxes completed the turnaround just three minutes later when Oakley's corner was knocked back across goal by Howard for N'Guessan to net.
N'Guessan almost created another for Howard but he headed over the top, before the impressive N'Guessan thumped the crossbar with a header of his own from Nicky Adams's cross.

Blueeeeeeeeeeeeee Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmy!!!!!!!!

Prague Stag Doo 2009!


It was my Mates Stag-doo last weekend and we took off to the city of Prague in the Czech Republic. It’s about a 2 hour flight. Had a Blast! We dressed up the Groom to be (see the Pic above) and made him travel in that gear…ohh-yes! Rocky Horror outfit. OMG...when we saw it that morning, I just thought he is going to throw his toys out of the pram and not wear it...but fair dues...he got on with it and dressed up. That’s his dad with him in the photo. I’m sure it was a proud moment for the old lad! LOL. Was so funny when we were all going through departures at the airport and some of the looks he was getting. Even security where having a right laugh and one woman who looked well serious asked him to step out of the line and to go with her. We were all thinking "aye-aye-what’s going off here....they don't body search you on the way out"...lol. She opened this door where her boss was making an important phone call and shoved the stag thru' the door. The look on this guys face who was on the phone. lol. I Think the boss about messed his pants! The security gal was in stitches...she was laughing her head off. I thought at one point we were going to have to get her oxygen. The flight went well anyway and when we got to Prague airport...it was sweltering. Really was in the mid 30's. So, dumped the bags at the hotel and got out for a bit. Found a Irish bar of course...had a few in there. Had a couple of pints...asked some locals places to go and see and we all piled back to the hotel....half an hour turn around and out. Found some cracking bars and that. The trouble was that half way thru' the night it threw it down big time and I mean threw it down. Massive heavy rain....thunder and lightening. We had to stand in a door way at one point it was that bad. 14 of us huddled up. We had allowed the Stag to change into Civilian clothes by then. lol. Ah.~one bar we went in called the beer factory was well good. You get your own beer pump on the table. Well, it's 4 pumps and they give you a glass each and you just help yourself. There is like a "pump" read out on to (like a petrol pump) and then when you are done you just give your table number and you pay for what you have. Mind, we nearly got thrown out of there because there was a glass washer and we kept squirting it and soaking each other. See...grown men acting like kids. The thing was that we were soaked to the bone from the rain anyway. Went up a few clubs, some of the old lads went back around 1.30am...2ish. We carried on...even ended up in a Casino and by the time we fell out of there and had a kebab, we got back to the hotel just before 4am. Was up again for just after 10am. Managed to get some Breakfast and few juices down us. The stag was in a bad way when we went to knock him up. Him and the best man where still in bed. Lol. Mind, he had been on some right nasty stuff the night before. I think Absinthe was the main poison of choice. We did find out that he did throw up once when had gotten up. A group of us ended up going for a walk up the old town to try and scope the place out a bit more in day light. Again, from a bright start the weather opened up and we had heavy rain. We managed to hole up in this Kola bar place. Was alright and it had a dart board in there. We did get out of there only for the heavy rain to push us back into the bar after half an hour. We were soaked so stayed in there having our own darts tournaments. All chucked in 50 dingbats (I think the currency was Koruna’s~We just called the money dingbats~shrugs shoulders) and last man standing. I did win one round and then second all the bloody time then! Eventually the full group of us all met up at the kola bar and even the stag made it down. Hair of the dog ale sorted him out. We got back to the hotel about half five....had a quick power nap and then all showered and met up down in the hotel bar. Beach shirts night that night. We did all look funny. It was raining and there we all are in loud nasty shirts with garlands on. Started off at the hardrock Cafe....stodged out on big fook~off burgers and then hit the town again. Found a bar called Coyotes...and yeppers...the gals behind the bar did get up and do the line dancing things up on the bar. It was horrible..er..aherm..shaa-wing! Got talking to loads of people in there. Bunch of Irish lads...then some polish gals and some locals too. Was a top night...got loads of attention with the shirts being on. Did a few more clubs and again...didn't get back to base until around 4am. Sat up having a night cap until 5!! lol! Had a couple of hours kip and then got up. I got to admit that i was not feeling too clever by 10am. I wasn't ill or anything...just like a zombie. I did make it down for breakfast but didn't eat too much. Geesh! Heard a funny story about one the lads who was sharing his room with heavy snorer. He got so fed up in the end of the noise his mate was making that he went and got his duet and pillow and slept in the bath. The thing is he woke up after a bit and at first thought that he has wee-ed himself. He had a very wet crotch. Turns out that bath tap was a touch/pull down faucet and he had kicked in in his sleep and the water had ran just a little and he soaked it all up. The weekend was just full of silly little stories like that. Like when we got there, we managed to sneak one of the boys bags off (it's a budget airline so we could take our bags on as long has they are a certain size) and put it on to the bus that took us from the plane to the terminal Building. Well, me mate was going nuts.....we were all sat on the bus laughing and we could see my mate coming out the plane...then back in again...then down the steps...and then back in again. Eventually they threw him off the plane and the bus driver was beeping the horn. You can imagine what he called us when he did eventually figure we'd got his bag. Yeah..top weekend...really was. Week to recover then off to Newquay camping....eeek!!

Just how much of a Lush have you got to be......?


The Things you see!! Well, with it being so glorious weather wise this weekend I was forced down the pub for a few soda’s. Of Course after a few the gents were needed and I came across this condom machine in there. OMG~Just how much of a lush do you have to be to buy these. If you look closely you can see a warning that reads;- WARNING-Do Not Drive While Using This Product! LMAO…aherm!

I was talking to Tamsin Tirax today and was telling her that the only kinda movie I cannot be doing with are RomComs or Period age drama’s…your Jane Austins and such. I know..the boy has no class…big Neanderthal! Whats your favourite movies…..?

Rain, Rain Go away.....


Well, what a difference a week makes. From last weeks burnt shoulders and truckers red arm from a mini heat wave, this week finds normal service resumed. Low temperatures and heavy rain with thunder thrown in along the way too. Awesome…can you see my smile…NOT?? From living in shorts the past 2 weeks it’s now back on with the trousers and jeans and I even got the big coat out today. Grr! The forecast is for the UK to have a glorious summer…but I don’t trust those weather predictors. I think I’d sooner stick my bare bum out the window and see which way the wind is blowing. On that lovely note, enjoy your lunch!! ;-))

Oldest Swinger in Town!


After a bit of leg pulling down at Midnight Reflections by a certain person who shall remain nameless (BEKA!!!!!), about my skin on Beacons, I decided to “upgrade” my skin and Avi. The Picture was taken by Molly….with Pishy in shot too. I am now thinking of adopting this look for RL too. I just need some sock suspenders now….BOM-CHICA-WAH-WAH!

Angels and Demons.


Went to the flicks on Friday night to see Tom Hanks latest movie and the second of Dan Browns Robert Langdon books (the first being the Da Vinci code). I had read Angels and Demons a few years back whilst sprawled out on a sun lounger in Cyprus. Just could not put it down and so was interested to see how the film transferred to celluloid. I was a little disappointed with the Da Vinci Code when that came out but with A&D I really enjoyed it. Shows of Rome’s Sites beautifully (A must SEE City if ever you get the chance) and after a slow start the movie does crank it up. Tom Hanks is a safe pair of hands in any movie and he is good has the professor of Symbology sent for by the Vatican in what could be their darkest hour. OVERVIEW~ The Roman Catholic Church mourns the death of the Pope in Rome. Until the College of Cardinals selects a new Pope, Camerlengo Patrick McKenna (Ewan McGregor) assumes day-to-day control of Vatican City. Reporters, nuns, priests, and other faithful all crowd into Saint Peter's Square, waiting for the white smoke from the conclave.

The Vatican summons Professor Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) and Vittoria Vetra (Ayelet Zurer) from CERN to help them solve the Illuminati's threat, save the four preferiti, and find the hidden bomb(anti-matter). Langdon listens to the Illuminati message and deduces that the four cardinals will die at the four altars of the Path of Illumination.

7.5 Beaks out of 10!

Summer is here!


Phew! What a lovely Sunny weekend we’ve just had! At last after the dreariness of dull and grey skies we have at last managed to get the temperature up in to the low 70’s. I’ve even been to my first BBQ of the summer on Sunday. Is there anything better than supping from a cold bottle of beer with the smell of nuked meat on a grill. Just ask me if I’m chilled out right now…go on…..go on!

Think you are having a bad day……….?


Was out Saturday drinking with the lads and my old Dad met up with us for a few early in the night. He told me a story about what happened to him at work last week. My dad works on the market in my home town, not as a stall holder but he and his team actually set it all out. They have to do this in the middle of the night on a shift. The traders turn up around 4am-5am, so the market has to be laid out and set up around 2am-3am. With setting up for the Saturday market they do it early hours of that morning and thus have to contend with all the drunks and clubbers from a Friday night. Some of the stuff my dad says he see’s would make ya hair curl. People shagging on a set up store, calling my dads crew tramps (I mean lets face it…you are not going to dressed up in a Tux and shiny shoes now are you?). Just a nightmare. Anyway, the other night they (him and his pal) where wheeling the massive units out when a Big brute of a bloke was walking by with a woman. They were having a right argument, shouting and swearing at each other. The next thing this thug punches the woman in the face and she just goes down like a sack of spuds and was out cold. Me dad and his mate ran over to the gal and she was just out cold, put her in the recovery position and then thought about tackling this thug….they thought better of it because he was a big bloke. Haha! They do have walkie talkies linked up to the police Station and so my old fella called it in. Within minutes a police car turned up with two policemen in it. This lad that punched the girl just sneered at the coppers and told them to “Eff off”!! One of the cops then got his Mace spray (or what ever it is they use now-a-days) and used it on this bloke. He Turned on his heels and ran off with the two police men in tow. Although, the one that had not sprayed the Brute ran thru’ the mist of of what his mate had sprayed and promptly passed out and hit the ground. So, my dad is now left there with a gal unconscious and a policeman that’s just been maced by his own partner. Gah! My dad had to then call for back up. Eventually the gal came around and staggered off on her own accord and the police van turned up. It took 15 policemen to get this nutter in the back of the van in the end!! I think I will stick to my comfy job I have here sat in front of a PC screen every day thanks……geesh!
