Will any mother help them

March time is always a great time of year...the new rides are just being completed and its a time to think about which theme parks you shall visit within the year.
This year's must is Blackpool Pleasure beach with its new attraction INFUSION the worlds first suspended water rollercoaster!....

As i/we think about which destinations to go to i will leave you with a clip of a firm favourite that im sure i will be riding this year!. Many people ive sat next to no this ride and heard them wale, it has to be one of the best rides in the country.
THOUGHTS?

Shrow we made a pancake!


Making pancakes always seemed to be something that sounded a good idea at the time but never actually was as good as the thought....
this year was different. My sister pre bought some batter mix (which is possible the reason for its success)
Please view pictures to see the extent of how good they looked!

However we didnt manage to actually toss a pancake..we were going to but thought we best not push our luck!
Also what was discovered...keeping the filling simple makes for the best taste.. sugar and lemon is great together...add chuncks of mars bar or treacle...not so good.
As always when it comes to fillings, less is more!

Tribute



Im returning home to Leeds on wednesday for one night only..im terribly gutted i wont get to party with everyone so i thought i would post a mini tribute to our last night together....Ju's b-day....great night in the fact that people went missing, we are great food, and drank terrible mixtures of drinks!

The tradition is normally pre drinks...then brb, aporto and revolution for some cheeky racks and by this time terrible dancing!!...

"Im lovin It"

A great house party is hard to find. Luckily i found one last night. A HOUSE WARMING to be more precise. Arriving a little too early at 8pm meant that i was able to start binge drinking with one of the hosts early...see below.


By 4am i was wavering..possibly because i peaked to early, however one guest who will remain nameless did drop a whole bottle of wine down the stairs and covered the walls with it!....this to me was funny...however others reacted a little differently, non the less the evening carried on and i crawled my way upstairs to bed. PS it always seems a good idea to stay over a party however isnt it always the case when u wake up in the morning....you want to die!

Following on from a heavy night the tube ride home in the same clothes is never much fun. What else can you do but hit those golden arches!!

DOUBLE QUATER POUNDER WITH CHESSE, FRIES, MILKSHAKE. LARGE PLEASE!

Treat it with respect

For those who know and for those who dont i am currently in the car buying mind frame...i realise that i have zero money however due to the fear factor of my latest clio (which i still have serious feeling for) the sensible thing to do is to buy a new car.
Buying a new car however is a serious topic...what style?...engine?...how economical is it?...how enviromentally friendly is it?..... what colour?...

if i were to buy a car purely based on adverts alone (and lets all face it..why else do we buy stuff...if it has a good advert...BUY IT) Then i would be going out to buy the following car!.....


ADVERTS - THEY WORK!

GIRL IN BOX


After a succesfull run of GIRL IN BOX at the etcetra theatre in London it would seem that our play is beginning grow into something bigger than we thought. Thanks alot to everyone who came to see it. we all appreciated it.
Although the usual canadian crew werent out in full (WILL ANY MOTHER HELP THEM!!!) but im sure they were thinking of me!

Take a break

I have recently realised that i am very much obsessed with adverts/ trailers, promotional material etc...
What i love about England is that i do truly believe that we do make the best adverts! Not just adverts about "stuff" but about "issues" while passing some spare time i came across these adverts and thought it was interesting how the two coutries American and Britian deal with the issue of "Road Safety" after recently having a car accident i carnt help but stress the importance of "Road Safety" so please watch and tell me which you think is the most effective..



And now the UK turn...

Tragedy

At the risk of my blog turning into a Big Brother fan site..which it is not as i dont consider myself a fan but big brother always interests me as does the notion of celebrity so combine the two together!....

As the world recovers from Jade and Shilpa gate we are reminded that it is a game and someone must win. On hearing the results that IAN was up for eviction that night he did something which im not sure is clever/stupid/or pathetic.

Watch the following clip and you decide.
was this done... to get the votes?/ he was really upset?/ or he is really stupid and thinks that crying the middle of the room will make people like him?

YOU DECIDE.

You have been evicted

After viewing quite a few blogs it seems no one has mentioned the obvious big news story..so i thought i would present it my bloggers.

Pop culture at its best!!

Number 34 with a side 22


The perfect chinese meal!

When ordering a chinese takeout the following needs to be considered.
- What will be happening the next day food wise i.e will you be able to eat loads and the next day deal with it.
- Who will be attending the meal with you! You need to be in the right company for example, Mates, and immediate family are fine! however, can you gorge yourself silly when trying to impress your latest date!.
-When ordering dont rush in and just order what YOU want...think what the group might want to share. Ribs are great to bring the group of people together, as are springrolls especially if you have some "vegetarians" with you, lets be honest you arent going to want to try their main dish so by having spring rolls this can become a dish that you both share! (also vegetables are good for you!)
- What will be happening after the meal!..if their are plans to go out drinking, do any form of sport or genrally anything that envolves moving more than 5meteres from the dinner table or the couch where you have eaton dont even bother ordering the food! have a salad and be done with it!.
- The perfect after chinese meal activity should be watching a DVD or in a utopian society going for a nap (but this can often be seen as socially unacceptable)
- Finally, perhaps most important and any TRUE brit will agree with me...DONT use chopsticks, you carnt get enough in your mouth at once! use a spoon and falk. If you use chopsticks you might aswell have a salad and be done with it!

These rules should be followed to enjoy a comfortable chinese meal!
BEVERAGES - Perhaps bottled water or maybe some china tea, however a cold coke with some lemon will more than do the trick to quence your thirst!

PLEASE ENJOY!

...........

Two words...

FACE BOOK!

2007


Bloggers!
We are in the early stages of 2007 and already it is prooving to be even more comical than last year!
Yesturday i thought it would be a good idea to join a temping agency!..as i was speaking to the woman/advisor she asked me what skills i had...i soon realised that speaking several dialects, or my skills in improvisation or "movement" were not going to help me here...Being good at improv i improvised (lied) claiming i could work excell programmes etc.
This seemed to be the answer she was looking for as she rapidly booked me in for a computer skills test on Thursday 12!
Richard task before Thursday 12 = Learn excell and how to use a fax machine!
Thus begins 2007!

Simple

This is a long and well overdue posting since my last one!
much has happened since my last posting.xmas, boxing day, mr hussain passing away,me getting to grips with my new sat nav, the discovery of the hilarious comedy NIGHTY NIGHT!!
...it has been real eventful. I have decided to keep this posting simple. no pix, videos, no gimicks, just pure text! Why?
I am currently suffering from the worst case of influenze ever! I had the warning signs around boxing day as i sat sneezing at the dinner table. This was followed by a night of heavy drinking the next day for a Juliets birthday...following on from this as i worked the night shift the aches and pains started and then i knew there was no going back!!
RESULT..........
NEW YEARS EVE = IN BED ALONE SHIVERING/SWEATING/COUGHING!

Happy 2007

A Feature Presentation


I bought on DVD today THE NIGHTMATE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, it was a steal at £5. It is such a good film...very seasonal.

Can i ask you bloggers to state your favourtie seasonal film... and perhaps if you have time give reasons.

There is no better time to watch it, thanks to the wonder of technology it can be seen in 3D!!!
When your favourite seasonal film is released in 3D it does make u realise their is a G-D

2 Men with beards. Both just as important but in very different ways



tis the season to be jolly!
Christmas time is upon us and i have just returned from buying a few gifts for people and as i was in town it became clear that everyone has officially gone christmas mad.
In the street's there was carol singers, a santa that was no way near as fat as he should have been, however there was a small child on his knee for him to play with so that was a comfort, and in all the restuarants there was xmas buzz!

Now i am a xmas fan as much as the next however I do feel that i need to remind the world that in 6 days it will be Hanukkah! The fesitval of lights. A time to remember the miracle of the oil and the persicution of the Jews!............................ ok thats enough remembering, but as i open my advent calender each day not only am i counting down the days to when "Jesus" was "born" but im also counting down the days to Chanuka (alternative spelling)

Happy Feet


Its been almost a week since i posted, so you all you bloggers may have been concerned however i have just been to busy (as has "the em") both our blogs have been lacking updates of late!
Last week i was sat in my flat in london and i got a call asking if i wanted to come work on the TV Drama called The Chase written by Kay Mellor, obviously because i am not a fool (despite some people's thoughts) i accepted this offer.
The next day i am back home in Leeds working a full time job!
I have to be on set for 6.30am....with my day finishing around 7-8pm! so im doing some loooooooooooooooooooong hours! The work is ok and its great to be on a TV set meeting the actors and stuff!
I am working their until xmas so i am back in Leeds which is good (i do miss my london though)

Waking up around 5.30am is not fun!
