Happy!

I'm a very happy bunny this morning...



Not only is Mudhsuden Singh Panesar tearing the Aussies apart but I also won an Xbox last night.

Been playing Viva Pinata...



But my fox keeps eating my rabbitses...

Photoshop Training

I learnt a few things, how to airbrush pictures, paste zebra heads onto spacemen etc, and also hpw to make animated banners.

So expect to see some flashy moving objects on the site fairly soon.

We also played with sparklers!

Pob's new band...

They are called 'The Minutes'.

And they are pretty cool. Very folksy.

And there are some songs available over on Pob's myspace place...

We were looking for place to eat lunch, but found a giant blue hedgehog. I also met Richard Jacques (legend), so this was a thoroughly SEGA themed day...

Found Another Video of Mike...

Different Mike this time though.

Had almost forgotten this...



Download as well! Is destined for the Ipod I think...

Gramps' 80th Birthday Video

Available now from all good DVD stores...

It's on Google Video - so give it a couple of days and you'll be able to download it...



Hooray!

Found A Video Of Mike...

And he is in a, shall we say, compromising position.

The things you find when you're fixing Dad's media player. I'll keep quiet about the other stuff I found squirreled away. For now.

Anyway - first he'll have to explain this one to his sisters...



I think the impressive thing is definitely her ability to not spill any booze. Top Marks!

In my defence here: Mike's at university now which means he's plenty old enough to have the piss taken out of him via the internet...

KK's leaving do...

KK is off to Australia next week, back to Australia I should say really as that's where she is from.

Will have to go and visit...

Penguins...

Two Penguins...

So I went to the BAFTA's last night, drank too much, tried to play Ghost Recon after 3 vodka apple and elderflower cocktails and said hello to John Colshaw (I couldn't find Andy Serkis).

Anyway - this is the Sony table which was next to ours, weighed down with gongs (really weighed down - i managed to get my hands on one of them and they are bloody heavy) for LocoRoco and Shadow of the Colussus.

Twas a good night and really necessitated the sausage, egg and cheese muffin this morning...

Might post a picture of me in my penguin suit at somepoint...

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes...

Well, you may have noticed the pretty girl in the title bar of this here little website - that's because Ray wanted in, and for me to start acknowledging the fact that we are getting married (I may be in denial!).

Anyway, welcome to Ray, who will be able to put up anything she wants very shortly to make up for all the malingering, one-sided sarcasm that I distribute via this thing.

Anyway - here she is:



Noody photos to follow - post-haste!

Laura & Dave Got Married!

So - I spent a lovely day in Kent, Meopham to be precise, and ate pig on a stick and particularly delicious pig skin...

Laura and Dave are now Mr & Mrs Hollinshead, which I think suits them:



A very happy couple, and whole bunches of congratulations for them...

There were fireworks too!



It was the best time...

Anyway - lots more pictures in this lovely Flickr set: Laura and Dave's Wedding

Oh, and Ross - never give me Rum again...

Band of the Royal Grenadier Guards

Rather surreally playing Mambo No. 5...



Pretty funky though - don't forget to put your speakers on!

Very Busy Weekend...

So anyway - it was Ray's birthday this weekend, and after that had all settled down we had a fun packed Sunday afternoon in London...


Some people made a very nice tower:



And then a big old fancy creation with 5 towery bits...



The whole affair was pretty crazy...

New Bikini...

Ok - so there are some new hoilday snaps over on Flickr now - like this one:



You can see the rest over here: Guernsey, Summer 06

Cheers for now.

Jumping like a loon...

Hey hey, so I've been in Guernsey for a couple of weeks and am now doing more experiments with YouTube - here's a clip of me hurling myself in to the sea.



Commentary of a very skittish sort provided by the panic stricken Ray, honestly - I've jumped off that thing more times than most people have even been in the sea.

Should be some more pictures of my hols over on Flickr before too long, probably before you get round to reading this at any rate...

St. Pauls

Wanted to post this lovely picture up here...



Thought it was a nice idea - and from a distance it really does look a bit like St Paul's.

Anyway - I also went and looked a all those white boxes in the Tate Modern...

Made me want to climb.

Repointing...

OK - so this weekend I learnt how to repoint brickwork.
Hopefully now my roof will stop leaking.

If anyone else needs their chimney stacks fixed why not drop me a line - I'm very competitive.

I'll post some pictures of my handiwork at some point soon

Eagle and Child

LOTR-tastic - went to Oxford on Sunday, and was given an enjoyable walking / drinking tour of the place by a friend. Took in several taverns - none more exciting than the aforementioned Eagle and Child, watering hole of choice a few moons ago for a couple of my more favourite authors - CS Lewis, and, of course, the man himself, JRR Tolkien.



But don't take my word for it - here are some trusty internet sources waxing lyrical about the place:

Tolkien Society

Wikipedia

theonering.net

If I remember rightly I drank Brakspear - which is very nice.

Christmas Hats...

Christmas hats are almost universally worn during the winter months in Britain. They were invented in 1856 by the Earl of Christmas, who, whilst playing bridge one evening realised his head was cold.

The clever thing whipped up an impromptu hat out of his paper napkin and the popular headpiece was born.



As you can see from this picture the christmas, or party, hat, is now a popular interior head warmer during the winter months...

Jake Gyllenhaal and Me

Someone told me today that I look like Jake Gyllenhaal in that film about cowboys...


Not entirely convinced - its a bit like saying everone with burnage looks the same...



Suppose they've got a point...
