Haven’t been posting for a while so sorry about that! I blame Jill actually as I was looking to get a better photo than this one to illustrate this post, but she never bothered her arse sending me any.
So, was over in London a couple of weeks ago there, and headed out with two lady [...]

So thinking my bread baking skills meant I was a fantastic baker all round, I decided to make some cupcakes for Jill’s birthday bash. (She was sharing it with guys called Gavin and Michael, so that explains the g and the m).
They didn’t take long, but I think I definitely need to improve my icing [...]

So, first night out in ages on Saturday night – for my mate Jill’s birthday. She was having a joint party with two guys down at AM:PM on Arthur Street – it was the first time I’d actually been to that one, and I quite liked it.
The party kicked off at about 9.30pm, and carried [...]

So Saturday before last was my birthday celebrations. It was the first time I’d been drinking this year (so that was 17 days alcohol free!) and it all got pretty messy.
I wanted to do something a bit different from the usual just-go-out-and-get-drunk shennanigans, so first of all we headed to the only bowling alley still [...]

This is by far the best Christmas card I got this year. It is weird! It has the sun, animals, santa, sand and a barbecue on it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen all of those things together on a Christmas card before. So cheers to my mate John who lives down under!
The rest of [...]

So a couple of weekends ago, me and me ol’ mucker Jill headed off to London to see Strictly Come Dancing, which our mate Christine Bleakley is taking part in this year. If you live in the US, Strictly Come Dancing is our version of Dancing With The Stars.
Now I must confess I don’t really [...]

The guy second from the right in the pic above is another of my mates, who goes by the name Dave Bull. He’s a bit of a cheeky chappy. Anyway, as if to prove that all my mates really do have more interesting lives than me, he has won a place on the Bushmills Trek [...]

This is one of my mates, Christine Bleakley. She is a presenter on The One Show, and it was announced (ages ago but I haven’t been blogging) that she is going to be one of the contestants on Strictly Come Dancing this year! (That’s Dancing With The Stars if you’re American).
Obviously she will be getting [...]

Well this is quite old news, but I have been busy recently so am only getting to post about it now. We were all at G’s Belfast wedding the weekend before last (seems like ages ago now!) It was called his barat. It is when Muslims celebrate the wedding in the home town of the [...]

So, my friend G got married to his lady Fiaza at the weekend! Which I still cannot believe! Jill and I spent Saturday at the Watford Colosseum where we had been invited to the first part of wedding. I can honestly say it was completely amazing. I had never been to a Muslim wedding before, [...]
