Always late to the party

This week I signed up to Twitter (about a year and a half after everyone else in the entire fucking world, but there you go). It's been great so far, and thanks to me being quite selective about who I follow, it's not been entirely full of inane, pointless chatter. Initially I signed up in the hope that it would…

Re: Football's going home. Turns out everyone hasn't blamed it on the disallowed Lampard effort, rather they have actually realised that England played very poorly! Common sense prevails for once. On a related football note, some teams I follow have recently announced new kits and they are lovely. The Glasgow Rangers new one is so simple, but it's striking and…

Football’s Going Home

Posted inFilms/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments
Just watched England crash out of the World Cup - hilarious stuff (I'm Scottish). Let 2010 be forever remembered as the time England would have won the World Cup had the Officials seen that Frank Lampard's effort had crossed the line. You know, just like they would've won the World Cup in 2006 had Rooney not been sent off, and…

I’m turning into a casual gamer?

Last night I played Just Dance on a Nintendo Wii and surprisingly, I really enjoyed it. The night before I played Lips on the 360 (I knew I would enjoy that though, it's great fun). And although I was initially not too fond of the idea of Kinect, I'm coming around to it now, as we have two genuine children…

E3 2010

I guess most of the announcements and big reveals have been made by now, so it's safe for me to write up my thoughts on the event. I usually don't bother with E3, but I had a bit of time on my hands this year, mostly because Jane was in Newcastle, so I sat at the PC looking at new…

Wow, it's been a year already? It's the little ones Birthday today, and while I'm a bit sad we didn't get to Longdown Dairy Farm yesterday to see her, I'm OK as I spent a lot of time with her at David and Katie's wedding and at the BBQ afterwards. Look how much she's grown up in her first year.…

Jane bought a new car

She did! Traded in her old one and got a nice new one. A three year old ex-mobility Peugeot (it's hardly got any miles on it compared to how old it is), and it's lovely. So much roomier than her old one, I can actually sit upright in the passenger seat, and it'll be ideal for when we have kids.…

Up and down

After all the excitement of last week, this week has been a bit more reserved, not a lot has happened and it's been very quiet. I was on a bit of a downer early on in the week, I expected it after the massive highs of last week to be honest. I picked up Burnout: Revenge the other day, it…
Ten years

Ten years

Ten years ago to this very day, Jane and I decided to become a couple. It seems like less, maybe six or seven years, but it's been the best ten years of my life. She is beautiful, and I love her so much. I can't begin to contemplate what a horrible direction my life would have taken if it weren't…

We went to Maggie and George's house today for the after-wedding Barbecue - the purpose of which was so that everyone who was not invited to David and Katie's Wedding itself could celebrate their happy occasion. The rain stayed away, and although it was a bit windy, it was a lovely day for being outside. We arrived early, and my…
