Pure absolute power…

Umphhh, that is all I can say, a perfect blend of the 300 Watt Marshall cab and the 150 Watt Bugera head – brilliance, I cant hear what your saying…

Tonight will be sooo good, Matts band supporting Jacobs band at Delius lived next door, cant wait, a first of its kind with much to follow.

Happy 77th Mum

Only 23 years until you get a letter from the future king!

Love your loads, glad you liked my card.

A fine test in Leeds

Yesterday was a good day for many reasons, but quite importantly I worked (yes overtime!), followed by a great night out in Leeds straight after, from the very start it was amusing, I get on a completely empty train at Ilkley station in the morning, and some guy comes and sits next to me, erm, time to get off and go for a walk for me!

We were due to meet at ‘Spoons’ in Leeds train station, I ended up at the White Rose bar, woah, some characters in there, guess I fit in, but rushed out after realising I was in the wrong place! We called at a few bars, very good music, this town is lively, and we should have eaten at ‘Reds’ but it was full, ended up at Rib Shack in the Corn Exchange, I think?! fantastic food.


Im so happy ‘The wall of flames’ was not attempted, the staff were very courteous and allowed us to test the sauce first, jeez, that is the hottest sauce ever, even ice didn’t cool the mouth down, what fun seeing us six falling around the table with mouths on fire…

During the evening, well, a woman sits next to me “what do you do then” she asks, my reply “I like walking by the canal when its frozen over” what planet caused me to say that!? future wife material she was… but in the station when three of us are waiting for the taxi some guy walks up and says to me “do you have a big cock” then walks off, what the… ha ha.

Top night, first big night out with friends since returning to work and straight after working too, a good test on myself, and very happy with the result.

Wembley, Capital one league cup final 2013

Finally got my article wrote, what a fantastic reminder of a brilliant day out, Bradford City and Swansea City, a credit to football.

The full article is here.

Hula Hoofs, the best in snacking food for children

A great new release for those hungry fingers, a horse meat scandal? not here, check out the very new…

An idea by me put into real life by my good friend Andrea, a perfect blend!

Bradford City to win at Wembley

It is almost here, I was going, then I wasn’t, I was going then not, and then my eldest son Jacob won two £72 tickets, I definitely am going with my youngest son Matthew! I was and still am a little worried health-wise, but I booked the Friday, Monday, and Tuesday off work. Had a great time with my Matthew and Jacob in Bradford while collecting the tickets.

 
My first ever try out at Nandos Bradford, very impressed thanks sons…

Best haircut ever there son! they do bottomless drinks, I asked if they would do bottomless Brahma, a very nice chilled drink.


Obviously Bradford City win, and it will be 4:3!!! C’mon you Bantams…

Arrogant neighbours

I love where I am fortunate to live, but a few months ago number 13 upstairs were watering plants without a drip tray, yes the water, dirty water dribbled down my windows leaving a mess, it took me five times to go upstairs and get them to sort it, and so they hired a skip, threw the plants into it, and then they were decorating. Once the skip were removed then this;


It is a mess, its been reported to the housing association, they have forwarded my report to the management group, these folks appear reasonably ‘well off’ yet so messy and arrogant.


This is a super polite letter, these neighbours are ill, but so am I, from my experience’s most ill folks try even more to be clean and tidy, even respect others more, yet keeping very personal. I feel sure most who view this post would agree, we do not like to look out of our window at a mess, rant over!

Page’s plectrum

While watching Led Zeppelin’s celebration day, at the end I could not help but notice Jimmy Page uses the same plectrums as me, how dare he? he is a failed biological research scientist, shocking stuff!


You can just make it out while Robert Plant looks over a little sheepish, he knows Pagey is ripping some of my tunes off…


Oh whatever nevermind, I will let him off, but, hmmm, he is still my main hero of guitar, on a par with Hendrix maybe?

Black Doc Martens deserve red laces

Finally, I get some red round laces for my black Doc Marten eight eyelet boots, each pair I have bought get sent with black or yellow laces, but for me it just has to be red laces.

PC repairs cheap and easy

Its a first for me, for months my PC has been rattling and crashing, the decision was taken about ripping the sides off, and so I gently did screw them out, then the sides were still not moving, they actually had to slide after removing the screws!


What i discovered were a couple of trapped wires between the CPU fan and that other fan which is stuck to the side of the panel, hmmm, so I cleaned the dust out, give it a good blowing, ensured all the fan were free and replaced the panel, this time I ensured the wires were not trapped, I also used electrical tape around were they were trapped as some copper was showing!

After putting it all back together something very typical happened…


I have one screw left, work it all out the best I can, yet my engineering knowledge and qualifications meant nothing, I am now left with a screw and a PC that appears to work better than ever until??? Yes I cleaned the dust up silly.
