Matt Hammond's stag do

Ooh, hello boys
Dublin watch out, it's Matt Hammond's stag do this weekend and a bunch of crazy Bournemouth mofoes will be heading your way. Crazy drinking till about 9.30pm and then sloping off for a burger and sleep...! We are getting old, too old for all this actually.

OK, it might not exactly happen like that but it should be good craic/crack/krak.

We're staying at Gogarty's Bar, Dublin. We've been there for drinks before and to check out the live band who seem to be made up of some core musicians and then some random hangers-on that turn up randomly out of the crowd. Guy H has the CD is you want to listen. I wonder if we will actually get out of that building seeing as it has our accomodation, there is a bar and it does food.

Ryanair seem to have gone all funny with the baggage allowance and costs. Then again, we should really too much for the two night we are there. One reverseable pair of underpant and a toothbrush should do!

We all know Rich P goes commando.

Miles and Karen, sail the dream

sail the dream
Miles and Karen have taken leave of their senses, sold a load of booty off, bought a yatch and intend to sail around the Med for a year.

You can catch up with their shenannigans on the Sail The Dream web site.

I think I have gone off sausages since their farewell BBQ that had 50+, never mind that lovely berry Vodka making a mess of everyone's tongue, Meg's Princess Leia impersonation and bun-dance, Deb's sleepy couch episode and the rain.

Best of luck and hopefully we can meet up at some sunny spot somewhere.

Even more scorchio...! Good old British summer is here, at last.

ImageWow, has it been hot or what. Managed to miss a lot of it with a hangover and DIY this weekend but caught enough to be thankful.

Not been in the sea just yet. Was wanting to dive in last night but by the time we got back home, packed and set foot on the beach, it started clouding over. Maybe better luck over the next couple of days.

It's Matt's stag do in Dublin next weekend, so let's hope the weather keeps up and makes its way across there.

Peter and Paula Chapman popped into the UK and we managed to catch up for a quick drink at the Goat and Tricycle.

Dave Steadman told me he's started in a band and done their first live gig recently. Check out the photos section of www.froud.com

Southbourne Groove

We all try and get involved in the local community scene in Southbourne, Dorset.

When I have time, I try and update southbournegroove.com with snippets of news and events.
