I’ve been continuing my recce all over Northern Ireland this week for the upcoming TV series I’m working on.
It has been really interesting to be honest. Here are some things I learnt this week that I didn’t know before….

Check it! It’s like the tiniest McDonald’s in the world! Now, I didn’t take this photo myself. My Mum and Dad are in Singapore at the moment, and my Dad spotted it. Apparently it opens at 4am for breakfast. But does it do hot breakfast? If so where do they cook everything? So many [...]

I bumped into a girl that I fancy this week. I sounded like a total dick. Why is it when you fancy someone your brain suddenly switches to like 10% of its capacity? She was looking hot.

I went to see Hostel 2 last night with my friend G. I watched the first Hostel film on my own at home and can honestly say I was absolutely terrified. It was gruesome, grim, thrilling, and very scary. So I was kind of excited when I went to the cinema last night, but also [...]

The Times is reporting today that O2 has won the battle to be the carrier for the iPhone in the UK. That’s good news for me as I’m on O2, and can’t wait to get my iPhone - I haven’t upgraded my ‘phone now for like 2 and a half years!

Vanessa Paradis. Absolutely gorgeous and French to boot. I have fancied her for as long as I can remember, but she seems to have a thing for that Johnny Depp dude. Anyway. Apart from being good looking, she isn’t a bad singer. “Be My Baby” is one of my favourite songs of all time.
After a [...]

I started recceing for my new series today. A recce is when you either go out and check someplace before you film it to see if there are any problems that you might encounter, or to get some ideas about how you might shoot it. Our recces that we’re doing over the next couple of [...]
