Poor Paul Chuckle Brother! He fell off his motorbike while on holiday on a Greek island last week. If you are not familiar with Chucklevision, it is the longest running sitcom television series in the world. I think.
Get well soon Paul, and here’s a pic of the Chuckle Brothers in happier times.

Well it’s been a while since I’ve blogged about what’s been going on at work (apart from someone vomiting in the office), and it’s because I’m beavering away on a new series which hasn’t been announced yet, so I can’t really talk about it.
Pre-production of a series is always pretty boring and slow - it’s [...]

Someone has been sick in our office at some point over the last couple of days! It is beginning to stink.
But the mystery is no-one seems to know who was sick, where they were sick or when they were sick. All I know is that sick smells disgusting, and that it wasn’t me. It’s not [...]

Mutya Buena’s “Real Girl” single is brilliant! Obviously it samples completely Lenny Kravitz’s “It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over”, but it’s still great.
It sounds a bit like another of my favourite songs, Vanessa Paradis’ “Be My Baby” but that’s maybe because that track was written by Lenny Kravitz.
Anyway, “Real Girl” is out [...]

My favourite Photo sharing everything site, Flickr, has announced 24 hours of Flickr.
Basically, they’re asking everyone to join the relevant group and upload their best photo taken on that day (geo-tagged of course) and they will be considered for publication in a book. That may be the main incentive for taking part for some, but [...]

Feast your eyes on that beauty! At the weekend, my family and I had lunch in a brilliant place called Coffee Yard in Holywood. It is really, really nice, and I would go back there regularly if I didn’t live miles away.
Anyway, they had ham and cheese toasted sandwiches on sale, so as regular readers [...]

I had my Mum, Dad and sister Ailsa across in Northern Ireland this weekend which was nice, ‘cos I’m usually a bit stuck for things to do at the weekend.
They arrived on Friday, so after a really nice dinner at AM : PM, I promptly went and got completely hammered without them in the Stiff [...]

Well I finally got my hands on my new camera this week! It’s a digital SLR - a Nikon D40 to be precise, and I really like it for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, it’s smaller than a normal DSLR, and it’s very light as well, which means it’s pretty practical to carry around with me. [...]

…since I’ve posted, but I’ve been pretty busy and have had a totally rubbish day at work today, so amn’t really in the mood to write anything tonight. Tomorrow I’ll hopefully get some stuff up here!

It was a SCORCHIO weekend here in Belfast this weekend - it was great! So, G and I headed out in the sun. First off was a trip to Starbucks for lunch, where I quite fancy a girl that works behind the counter. She was working, but I didn’t speak to her. I’m not going [...]
