Wow. Wow. Wow. It was the season finale (sounds so much better than end of series show) last night of Prison Break here. It was amazing.
I must say I was getting a bit fed up of how every week there was a spanner thrown in the works on the show - I kind of felt [...]

Last night G and I had a bit of culture as we headed to the University of Ulster’s School of Art and Design’s Final Year Degree Show. We knew someone that had done fashion there, so popped down to give our support.

Well for a change, on Friday night, we headed out to The Parlour, which is a studenty kind of bar in Belfast. Christine suggested it as G and I are fed up of going to the Potthouse where women don’t want to speak as they are just all glammed up and talking among themselves, and [...]

Grampian always had a bit of [...]

What on earth is this you ask. Well, it’s a Slingbox - a little box which sits underneath your TV. Plug it into your digital, Sky+ box or Tivo, and connect it to your broadband connection. Then you can watch and control your TV / digital box from any computer with an internet connection.

Well I’m back! I spent a long weekend there at my sister’s wedding in St. Andrews. First up we had the stag night on the Thursday night - we started off at the Jigger Inn, then headed into town, where we went to the Westport and then the Ginhouse. It was good fun, but St. [...]
