We are planning to hold our customary May Bank Holiday bar-b-que on Sunday 29th. From 6pm at the usual place at the bottom of the Toft Zig-Zag stairs.

Fingers crossed that the weather will be good and the water is warm.
 
Sunderland gain promotion!
Sunday, 24 April 2005
Thank fcuk for that! I don't think I could go through another Kronenbourg fueled playoff-palava with extra time and penalties. Not only do I get too stressed out doon the local pub, I literally can't see by the end of the game!

Well done lads.

Monday, 21 March 2005
Well actually she gets to keep her current job that she has been acting on. Well done missus, or should I say Ward Sister, Clinical Leader or whatever of the Royal Bournemouth Hospital.

More champagne it is then.

Tony B has mentioned about meeting up at the Reading Beer Festival. Details below.

FRIDAY 29th April
Its 10 minutes walk from the train station.


I think early evening would be a good starting point.

 
Zatoichi, Hero and House of the Flying Daggers
Monday, 14 March 2005
Seeing as Angela was away I had a chance to watch Zatoichi without any disturbance from questions all the way through or fidgetting away from all the scenes of swordplay. I thought it was a really good movie with a good storyline that had some twists. It wasn't overly stylised in the fight scenes. It just got back to basics. There was humour as well and I found myself laughing out loud to daft comic things.


If you want the DVD you can get Zatoichi from Amazon UK but I got mine from CD-WOW which can be great for Asian movies.

Beach Bar B Q, when...?
Monday, 07 March 2005
Beach Bar B QAngela and I were talking over the weekend and thought we need to get some beach bar-b-q action on the go very soon. The smell of blackened semi-raw sausages, the downing of copious amounts of booze, rolling around in the sand and swimming in the water. You know you love it.

Maybe a bit too chilly at the moment but I reckon come the end of April or beginning of May we should be cooking on coal.


Let us know when you are around or not around, then we can pencil something in.

 
Achilles...!
Monday, 07 March 2005
Ah, I guess I am not as young as I used to be. All that jumping around doing karate finally caught up with me when I landed in a heap on the floor with some kind of tear at the back of my calf. Thankfully it is not a ruptured Achilles, or even a partial tear although it is painful and I still can't walk properly.


All the text about the condition points to middle aged people who don't exercise too often. Thanks a lot! First the hair and now this, whatever next...!

 
Chinese New Year celebrations in Leicester
Monday, 14 February 2005

We were up in Leicester visiting the in-laws over the weekend. Went to the Leicester Chinese Community celebrations for Chinese New Year. Normally I am not a great fan of these kind of things but actually I was pleasantly surprised as it was OK. One saving grace was the fact that they had professional acrobats there doing Shaolin Kung Fu, balancing acts, a bit of Peking opera and so on.

Top of the morning and a Jim Beam stir fry to ya. That's how we did it in our university days. The orginal and the best.

So what does the year of the Rooster bring in store? Chicken and plenty of it!

Hung graduates from Uni
Tuesday, 08 February 2005

At last Angela's brother Hung graduates from Uni of Central England.

We were there for his graduation ceremony. Quite funny to see the person reading out the names tackle a whole array of ethnic names, and the antics of a few just to stand out from the crowd when shaking the main man's hand.

Photos up in the gallery here: Hung Le Graduation Photos.

Anatomy for beginners...!
Tuesday, 25 January 2005

A bit gruesome but fascinating watching. This is where the controversial Dr Von Hagens does a public dissection to a brave audience, and shown on TV.

Has put me off eating Lamb Shanks for a while seeing as he was messing around with the leg bones and muscles, and that was the picture I had in my head.
