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   Read More …

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   Read More …

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   Read More …

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   Read More …

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   Read More …

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   Read More …

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

It’s been ages since I last blogged proving once again that my blogs come in mass or not at all…which probably means I’ll think of loads of things to blog in the next few days. Veggie Update! I’m in the last week of my veggiexperiment and next Monday I can eat meat again however other   Read More …

2 and a half weeks into my experiment and I have managed to not touch meat and I havn’t really missed it, actually the most difficult thing is the lack of fish and chips (not that I have it often), walking past the shops is horrible…it smells so good. I think the biggest challenge of   Read More …

For a long time now I’ve been a big fan of the punk-rock band Relient K and they’ve always been a band to show variety mixing pop-punk with piano riffs and even ranging to do songs with a hint of country. Their latest album release ‘Forget and Not Slow Down’ was brought for me by   Read More …

On Friday night Jo and myself headed to the 02 Academy in Sheffield to see Texan punk-rock band Bowling for Soup who were being supported by The Leftovers, MC Lars and Zebrahead. I first saw Bowling for Soup live when I was 17 in Norwich and they were infact my first gig so seeing them   Read More …
