The day the earth stood still

Today I am sick.  It has been exactly a year since I was last off sick.  Last year I think I had more of an excuse, dislocated shoulder and all that...  In fact it was almost exactly a year ago on the 8th July 2011 that I posted my first blog (while off sick) and in that time I have literally tripled my followers.  Hopefully in the next year I can triple my followers again!  Maybe I need some tactics to go about doing this like advertising amazon stuff and posting my blog on Facebook and shit.

Anyway, nostalgia is not the reason for this post, although it helped with the introduction... It is to describe in comical detail some of the events that have happened in 2012.  This is in chronological order, and each item should have had it's own blog post at the time... Bad blogger.

Thierry Henry back at Arsenal, he won the game against Leeds...  Sorry Moylesy!  But he had a ridiculous beard and shaved head.  I was happy that he got to see his own statue and that he didn't let it go to his head...

Homemade Sushi.  Look at this shit.  It's better than Japan.

Skiing!

Skiing is awesome.  Rob, you should definitely come with us next time.

We also learned a valuable lesson on this trip.  Dave's words in my voice make women do what ever we want.  Especially if one is Norwegian and the other is Swedish.  Girlfriends may become emotional though.  You also get the chance to do some sweet goggles photos.

You've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, and know when to run!

Budapest stag do!

The first weekend of February I went on my first stag do.  It was for my little friend Ryan, aka the Mauritian with attitude.  I’ve never called him that, nor have I ever wanted to, but I was reading the Brown Shirt Kru blog for some reason and I’ve given him that nickname.  

While we were there, we did a banger rally.  I use rally in the loosest possible sense of the word, it was a drive in a shit car from the city to a restaurant, where I couldn't eat anything due to hangover and my inability to eat food while on holiday.  The highlight of the drive was Tesh having to pay £30 for writing off a car!  The photo doesn't do it justice, but 2m further down the road was a shrine to someone who had previously crashed and died there... and the back axel had snapped.

I know we signed up to a banger rally, but this was ridiculous, we were driving on the road, in the snow, in cars that didn't have breaks and we were just given the keys, nothing was checked or anything!

We also got drunk, watched girls take off their clothes, met the announcer from From Dusk Till Dawn, got offered some Chernobyl tits, had some feuds and truces, and made some snow angels.  I also enjoyed waiting outside McDonald's for it to open at 6am. 

Anyway, I’ve worked it out and his wedding is going to cost me over £600!  When I got back from the trip, I watched Arsenal lose 4-0 to AC Milan, and they looked worse than the GD squad.  Evening ruined.

 Beef Wellington.  Look at that mother fucker.  It looks like a hat.

Balsamic bacon and red cabbage on the side too.  Yum.

Scott Mills’ last ever show - he did the best only bloody Friday ever.  I was upset that I may never be able to hear him again, except every Friday when I finish work early and he is still on.

Today, RVP let us know he wouldn't be signing a new contract :( The day the earth stood still (was on TV)
