The best wedding video ever?

It’s certainly one of the best songs ever…you be the judge, personally i think it’s awesome and looked like a lot of fun which is what a wedding day should be in my book.

Little visitor

Spring is here…and with it brings little visitors out of their Winter bolt holes. Today we had a visit from a common frog (Rana temporaria) who was sat patiently on our door step, he’s probably not long come out of hibernation and i have no idea where he’s come from as i don’t know anyone with a pond in their garden (more…)

Shrove Tuesday

Today is Shrove Tuesday..the day commonly assiciated with being the day before Lent and the 40 days of fasting…if you follow that sort of thing! however, something far more interesting happens today, yes it’s pancake day. A day to totally pig out on lovely fatty pancakes that we traditionally have once a year (unlike Americans who seem to have them just about every day for breakfast if you beleive the TV) (more…)

Yates Blackpool burns down

Been on the news today and the wife saw it last night when she finished work at about 4am.

Yates recently had about £500,000 spent on a massive referb and it was actually a nice pub to drink in, a lot nicer than some of the tacky dives in the area. (more…)

Thanks a bunch!!

As i had not got round to it i just thought i would take a minute to thank Emma and Nik for their incredibly thoughtful gift to Anthony on his 3rd birthday….

Anthony's new drum kit

Anthony's new drum kit

Anthony and Aaron have had great fun fighting over it and banging away on it…it’s not at all annoying when your trying to watch the tv…honest.
Much thought and energy is presently being expended into how best we can return this gracious favor for their next child’s birthday!

Happy Valentines day

I wanted to take the opportunity to wish my wife a very happy Valentines day…i’m not an overly mushy type of guy so your not going to see a massive full page post filled with sickly poems etc..
What i will say is that she has been my best friend for about 10 years now and my love has just got stronger and stronger every year.
I love you Felicity…your my heartbeat.

Rafa and Ferguson feud

Been reading the comments made by Rafa Benitez about Alex Ferguson and i have to say it’s great for a manager to finally come out and attack Fergusons lack of respect the way Ferguson attacks everyone else. Of course everything Benitez said is true and really the proof really will be in the eating now as the FA look set to ‘investigate’ Rafa’s comments and the ‘context’ in which they were made. (more…)

Welcome to 2009

Hope you had a festive Christmas and a happy new year, i know i did. I even got to go out and celebrate new year with the wife which i think is a first for a few years now as she’s always working and i normally have to stay at home to look after the kids. Thanks to Fliss’s mum though for babysitting them and more thanks to her and Lucy and Stuart for the great company over xmas and new year. (more…)

Table in head

Well it’s been far to long between hospital trips for Anthony so true to form he’s managed to hit his head hard enough to leave a half inch gash in the back of it. (more…)

Gervais ‘no’ to host Oscars.

It seems our very own Ricky Gervais is a sort after man in yank land and they would dearly love him to host the Oscars, except he’s apparently worried about artistic restrictions that they will impose on him, that we won’t be allowed to ad-lib as he would “do it because I really enjoy that”. Seems a shame really that he never enjoyed it as much when he had to ‘ad-lib’ for a few extra minutes during a technical fault at the Concert for Diana event on the 1st July 2007. (more…)
