My Perfect Sunday Wakin up in the arms of the man I am compleately smitten with, eventually getting out of bed. Breakfast of bagels scrambled eggs, bacon, coffee and OJ while watching ‘The great muppet caper’. ‘S’ faling asleep with his head on my chest and me drifting off shortly after. We woke up in time to watch the last hour of “carry on screaming”. When hunger got the best of us we got dressed and went for sunday lunch in a good pub. The day was finished off by meeting up with his sister and her partner for a fun drunken night dancin to steps and kylie. 21:05 – 1 Comments – 0 Kudos - Add Comment - Edit - Remove |

another weekend, another wristband
After Last weekend I was going to stay in and maybe sell or even give away my manc pride ticket. Well that was until I got a call from Mitch, an old Newcastle mate last night, who was down there. I didn’t go down last night as I was far too happy snuggled up on the sofa watching final destination 3 (some good deaths, especially the one in the gym, but not as good as the 1 & 2, and definitely not as good as “snakes on a plane” which I saw at the cinema this week, the 1st time in ages I have heard a cinema audience cheer)… anyway, today I jumped in the car and drove down to Manchesterford. It was great to see Mitch and Peter and Jerry, and catch up on old gossip, as well as new gossip, thanks to a text from Oscar. I stayed down there long enough to have a wander around the stalls and purchase a “specialist” DVD for ‘S’ and I to enjoy in the privacy of his home (Abba Karaoke). I also stayed for the parade which was fab, from what I could see. The sun came out, very briefly, it also started to rain, for a moment I was convinced we would get a real rainbow.

Oh my god what an amazing weekend. After the traffic jam from hell I finally got parked and met up with the others around quarter to midnight. I say met I was actually introduced to 7 slightly merry silhouettes around a camping light, most of whom seemed to be called Carl. A few glugs of the special stuff from my thermos and I was as merry as they were. I have to say considering I hadnt met them before, they all made me feel really welcome.
On Saturday I got to see the site and all the sites including the lynx manwash where guys could strip to their undies , stand on a conveyor belt and be lathered by ladies in bikinis and eventuality hosed down. We saw lots of stalls and communal pissing (male and female) against anything that could be described as a wall. The main band we saw on Saturday was the charlatans. I know we saw more than that but theyre the only ones I can remember. We spend a significant amount of time dancing out tits off in one of the tents. Then eventually back to the campsite for beers and random conversation including:
Not ostracized, Ostrich sized, as in the size of an Ostrich
Im always getting poo tashes
Can you hire a gimp
The song that goes doo doo doo doo STELLA
Sunday was fanatic, on the way down I got myself a green cowboy hat which filled me with festival confidence, we started of with the magic numbers, then sang along with keane and after a bit of a chill out we got over to girls aloud who where f***ing amazing, especially their version of I predict a riot.
No matter how great the weekend was, nothing could shave prepared me for the magic of Fatboy slim. Crescendo after crescendo of fantastic tunes. By the end I was dancing like a mad man with nothing on from the waste up other than the cowboy hat.
There is so much more to say about the weekend but I will leave it there for now. You may have noticed I havent mentioned the guy who I went with. The only reason for this is because it still feels a bit soon and I dont want to jinx things. But I did have a great weekend.

Jam
I am writting this on my phone while stuck into a traffic jam on the way to the v festival in staffordshire. So far the journey has taken 5 long hours. The reason i am here is mainly down to a certain guy. Who started as a friend although i had always hoped it would develop into something more. Turns out he felt the same however it took him several pints before he got round telling me. God knows how many pints it would have taken if left to me. I don’t want to say too much as its so new i don’t want to jinx it. What i can say is that last night i decided to go meet him and various friends and family at this, my first festival. They arrived this afternoon but thanks to me working i didn’t leave bp till half 5, its now 11:54 . Right best go as there are laws against blogging while driving, even if it is 5mph

quickie
its 10 past 8 and i need to in lancaster uni at 9 so thiss will only be a quick one, but i had to write abiut last night. I wasn’t going to go out last night but eventually dragged myself off the sofa and drove down t the bew road inn , this is the pub i origionally thought was quite scairy.
The ballons and men in suits told me it wasn’t the avaerage karaoke monday, turns out it was a gay wedding reception. so i sat dwn and various people i had met over the last few weeks said hi, the landlady served me and told me that during the week she had heard the scissor sissters song on the radio, and it made her realise how good i was at it. I went to put a song on and the karoke hoast said don’t worry Kev, ive already put ya name down.
I couln’t belive it, within a matter of a few weeks i had become a regular, and a popular one at that. It was such a fantasic wedding reception, drunk emotional karaoke songs, buffet in the back room, dog running round the bar being treated to the odd sausage roll by various customers, One of the highlights of the night was when the landlord and landlady were slow dancing at the end of the night and the dog kept jumping up cos he wanted to be part of it. that was sweet.
There are alot more reassons why last night was so good, but i had best leave it there for now.

Up all night
Last weekend Carlos ( a great mate from Newcastles gay karaoke circuit) was down to visit. It was great to see him and thanks to a series of drunken conversations, we got to know each other a little bit better.
Despite my lack of funds, I had a few good nights out this week. A hedonistic Saturday night in a club with live guitarists, fire eaters and dancing boys, was counteracted by a Monday karaoke night in a real bar with dogs running around and a sign letting the locals know picked eggs are only 40p.
My working week was relatively non-eventful. I was starting to panic about the fact I have moved away for a job I am fining really dull at the moment, but I managed o look at the bigger picture and see that the reason its dull at the moment is because everyone is on their hols and I am busy learning the basics, know that once the colleges get back Ill have the chance to really get stuck into it and Ill love it.
And then we get to the end of the week where I went out with a new friend, Simon, and couple of his work mates. The night involved lots of vodka, and discussions on everything from the state of the NHS, why emanon Holmes is the antichrist and getting to the age when you feel comfortable enough to have a poo at work. I cant say how long we were all up chatting till, but we were still chatting when the postman delivered Saturdays post. And I was worried I wasnt going to make any friends here.

Those about to rock, we salute you
Not a great deal to report this week. Last weekend it was all change at the house as Patrick, Emma and Stephen moved out and Chris moved in with me and another Emma. I think its really helped the house dynamics, and weve all gone out for a couple of beers a couple of times already. Plus Chris appears to share my taste in ROCK. My love of all things ROCK has been revived thanks to discovering KERRANG TV. I am noticing that Dave Grohl appears in pritty much every other Video, having said that theres a Limp Bisket vid on at the moment with Eminem and snoopy snoopy woof woof. LETS ROCK.
So what else? well the fourms picking up nicely, Ive done a bit of work on making it look a bit better and create a logo. Not great but it’ll do for the moment. Oh yeah, found out this week i have passed my PGCE with a comendation. should bloody think so too.
