A big shout out to the wine making Jewish wonder boy! Hope you have a great day Jesus

Well I’m off for a much needed break to London for the weekend with 8 friends. It’s my birthday this weekend (turning 30…eeeek!) but the other reason we are going down is to see Celtic play in the Wembley Cup, a friendly tournament which includes Tottenham, Champions League winners FC Barcelona and Egyptian champions Al Ahly. We play Al Ahly tonight and Tottenham on Sunday.

Getting the 8am train down to London (yeah I know I’m up early!) shortly, which in itself should be a good laugh. I’m bringing my poker set and my mate Andy is bringing a cool box and more importantly, a slab of beer to go in it.

Staying in Kings Cross til Monday. This will be my 5th time to London yet I’ve still never been in or around the city centre (I’ve stayed in Shepherds Bush, Luton, Woolwich and Fulham). So it will good to see some more of London, at the very least I’ll get to see the new Wembley Stadium.

Will be meeting up with some friends who stay down London as well. All in all it should be a great trip.

Hope you all have a good weekend. I will be enjoying the last few days of my 20s and embracing the responsibility and maturity which gentlemen acquire when they reach their 30s….yeah right!

Premier League Darts turned out to be a mixed affair last night. 4 of us arrived in Glasgow around 3.15pm and had something to eat and a few beers in the Horseshoe bar. Another 5 joined us after work. We headed to the SECC at 6.30pm to take our seats.

The first game was starting when we arrived at 7 o’clock so myself, Barry and Malky went down to the bar. 70 minutes later we got served. To say this was pissing everyone off would be an understatement. They had hardly any staff on and the queue must have been a few hundred people long at each bar. It was a joke. You would think that they would put more staff on at a Darts event where 95% of the people are there to drink!

To make matters worse, they ran out of pints at the bar we were at. So instead of paying £3.50 for a pint we had to pay £7 for 2 bottles and pour both into a cup. The time we got back to our seats the 2nd match was just finishing. So we effectively missed half of the matches by going for a beer.

The match between Jelle ‘The Matador’ Klaasen and Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor was fantastic though. Klaasen was a huge underdog at 14-1 but he arrived to loud cheers and proceeded to hand out roses to ladies in the crowd. He managed to pull ahead and it was tied at 6 each before Taylor steamed ahead and won 8-6.

It was still a good night out but the hour waiting at the bar did annoy the hell out of us. After drinking for a few hours the last thing you wanna do is stand in a queue sobering up!!

I’m not a massive Darts fan but I have been really looking forward to today as there me and about 10 of my mates are going to see Premier League Darts at the SECC in Glasgow.

I’ve never been to see the Darts before but it looks amazing. Basically it’s just one big piss up. I’ve watched it on TV and it just looks like an amazing atmosphere. Everyone gets a table and gets drunk watching the darts whilst holding up banners saying ‘180′ all the time. And then everyone sporadically bursting into random chants of the famous Darts tune (Chase the Sun by Planetfunk).

What more do you want from a day out?

From what I have been told, the matches tonight are :

• Raymond van Barneveld v John Part
• Terry Jenkins v Wayne Mardle
• Jelle Klaasen v Phil Taylor
• Mervyn King v James Wade

Phil “The Power” Taylor is definately the most well known Darts player in that line up though I’m sure they will all be great.

So here’s hoping my hangover isn’t too bad tomorrow!

Merry Christmas!

This is the organised chaos I need to go through to sort out my 2007/2008 tax return. Oh Dear!

Like all Amazon customers, I get emails from Amazon every now with recommendations for books, dvds and games etc based on my previous purchases through them. Unlike a lot of emails from online sites, I don’t mind these emails at all as they regularly recommend good products.

At the end of August they recommended Bruce Lee’s Fighting Method: The Complete Edition, a compilation book of the 4 Bruce Lee fighting method books, which had a release date of 1st September 2008.

On 9th September 2008 I got an email saying that it was being delayed and that I could expect it between 02/10/08 – 22/10/08. On 15th October 2008 I got another email saying it had been delayed until between 19/11/08 – 04/12/08. Yesterday I got a final email saying they were still trying but this time there wasn’t a date. God only knows when I’ll get it!! (I also got an email yesterday about SOCOM: U.S. Navy Seals – Confrontation, a PS3 game which has been delayed 2 months).

This whole thing has reminded me how easily my brain can be manipulated into wanting something I didn’t even want in the first place. I ordered it at first because I thought the book looked ok but the more it gets delayed the more I want it. They’re playing mind games with me I tell you.

These are the same people who catch me out with the impulse buy section near the counter!

This is suprisingly a good little game
