Yes that’s right! I can exclusively reveal on my blog (well it’s an online exclusive as no-one else I know has written about it) that my mate G is getting married! He is having a barat on Saturday in London Town (well Watford) which me and the Miss Jill Morgan are going to. I am [...]

Whizzgo has launched a green car-sharing scheme in Belfast. Basically you sign up for a £50 a year fee, and then you can go online and book a car for the hour, couple of hours, a day, a weekend etc. This quite intrigued me as I don’t have a car. I’ve avoided getting one because [...]

Boojum is a fast-food Mexican place that’s opened on Botanic in Belfast (along with Oodles, a casual noodles place which also seems like the first in a possible chain).
Boojum is an absolute carbon copy of Chipotle in the US - but that’s not to knock it. I’ve been to Chipotle a couple of times when [...]

We have a new snazzy shopping centre in Belfast! It is called Victoria Square and it is quite big. G and I went down and checked it out on the opening day on Thursday and it was crazy bonkers with millions of people. I just wanted to wander around and get a feel for the place but [...]

Hello blog readers! I was lucky enough to have two friends over to stay this weekend past. I used to work with Rob on Dick & Dom, and then went to see him and his wife while they were living in Chicago, so they came across to see me in Belfast!
We went a bit crazy [...]

I saw this this morning on my way into work. WTF?!!!! It is like a mass shambles of everything. I call it the House of Jesus Santa. I had to stop and look at it for a good 30 seconds before my eyes could decipher what exactly is going on. It’s like a nativity play [...]

I have been out and about to various different Belfast venues in the last couple of weeks after coming out of a ‘non-going-out’ hibernation. Last weekend we started off in the Stiff Kitten before heading to the Limelight where John, Leah and I proceeded to get absolutely hammered and start moshing about in the crowd. [...]

Belfast now has a big wheel! Just like the London Eye, except smaller. It still looks quite high though, and I think I may be tempted to go up for a ride in it. Obviously it would be great to take a lady up there and show her the sights (ahem) but I might just [...]

Well I was out for the first time in AGES this week, not once but twice! Thursday night was a night catching up with Christine, G and Jill, who was going on holiday for a week - she’s raving in Ibiza as we speak. Probably. We started at Apartment and then went down to the [...]

Walking home from work tonight, I spotted a tent outside the now closed Burger King just up the road from work. Well it was more of a gazebo type affair with a table. On the table was a clipboard and a sign saying ‘dream interpretations’. The most recent dreams I’ve been having don’t really need [...]
