So Jo and myself have got married, been on honeymoon, received all the wedding gifts, received some amazing photos which we’ve put in frames, written thank you cards and received our wedding video (on a complete tangent if you’re getting married avoid Clearview wedding videos in Caister at all costs…worst, most unprofessional video I’ve ever [...]

As followers on Twitter will know we received our wedding photos this week. The best thing about our wedding photographer was that unlike many others who give you a handful of photos and no digital versions we got an entire disc of over 300 edited photos from Bex Photography giving us an amazing choice of [...]

It feels like ages since I clicked onto this blog to actually post anything (although my blog tells me that in reality it’s only 8 days)…however it’s been a very busy 8 days! In 4 days time (Saturday) Jo and me get married! It barely seems like yesterday that we got engaged in Italy and [...]

On Friday night I had my first Casino experience. For Lucy’s 21st a group of us headed up to the Hull branch of ‘Napoleons’ to celebrate! The only experiences I’ve ever had of gambling come from 2 very different perspectives. The first perspective is that of the tacky gamble…I grew up being taken to holiday [...]

Last night Jo and myself went to Manchester to see The King Blues play on their headline tour. I got into The King Blues just over a year ago and love their blend of ska and acoustic punk combined with fantastic, passionate lyrics. I first saw The King Blues back in September as part of [...]

So in the last week in my blogging break I’ve been to Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft, Sheffield, South Cave and London…lots of wedding planning done, lots of potential blogs thought of but I’ve resisted the temptation to blog…until now! I have a love/hate relationship with London…I got quite used to the business of our capital city [...]

Since Jo and myself started planning the wedding in August we’ve realised that actually it’s not that difficult to plan a wedding…there’s been a few difficulties but when it comes to the actual planning, idea collecting etc we’ve both realised that we tend to sing from the same metaphorical hymn sheet with both of us [...]

I’m not a big fan of cultured stuff…sit me with a Shakespeare play or in front of the Mona Lisa and I’ll complain about the old fashioned language or say ‘right what’s next…’. When it comes to things arty I am not someone who appreciates fine art. However this does not mean I don’t like [...]

There’s a new product heading to the supermarkets and that product is a Marmite Cereal Bar…Jo told me about it after seeing a billboard advertising poster. Whilst I love marmite and love this idea I am a little cross about the prospect of a marmite cereal bar and the reason behind my anger and upset [...]

About a year ago as series 3 of Skins was aired Jo spent so much time watching it I decided to start watching it and whilst I don’t like the impression of youth culture they put across (whilst it may be an accurate picture of some young people it works on a generalisation) I find [...]

For Christmas both myself and Jo managed to independently go for gifts ‘you do’ for each other and Jo’s gift to me was tickets to see the genius that is Newton Faulkner and so last night I headed down to Sheffield for the Newton Faulkner gig. I’ve been going to gigs since I was 17 [...]

Having spent quite some time working out why photos weren’t uploading properly from my mac and solving the problem I thought I’d post some photos from the last few weeks…click them to see full size…or head to ‘Photos’ and look at the albums! Enjoy

So it’s 2010…a new year and a new decade has begun (although some would argue the decade bit) and it’s also been a week since I blogged last (and even longer since a proper blog). I had a nice new years eve last night with Jo at Ben and Laura’s lovely new house with some [...]

So my Christmas shopping is done, I’ve just finished writing my first Christmas song (unless in the bleak midwinter re-write counts?) and I should have a drumless version on my Myspace in the next few days…the lyrics are already up on my lyric blog (it’s called ‘Christmas sucks without her’). Tomorrow Jo comes to South [...]

Has my fiance changed her gender or has the person who sent me the e-mail (header pictured below) just decided that Jo is a blokes name and I’m therefore their gay youth worker? haha! Disclaimer: I am definately straight, Jo is a female and this post is very much tongue-in-cheek
