2013 so far

Where the hell has the year gone?? Already May and it seems like only yesterday it was xmas. Managed to do a fair bit so far though. Hammerfest saw us return to Hafan Y Mor for another 3 days of mayhem and boozery. Whilst listening to some good music of course. Only got to see a few bands this time though as, don't tell everyone, but shouty shouty music is not my scene, I prefer music that you can understand what they are singing as well as listen to some great music in the background. I go to Hammerfest for the insane humour and daftness that is my friends. None the less we did manage to see Sodom, Candlemass and a few others. It was more about having an excellent time and we still had awesome music in our chalets.


The trip home was just as good as I took a wrong turning and ended up driving through the welsh hills that were totally covered in snow. Shirl was not amused hehe.


Next came Australian Pink Floyd, totally awesome. Went with my older brother who I did not think would like them but he was muchly impressed. Played all the great songs that I enjoy from the real Pink Floyd and sang/played at just the same quality. I guess that is why they are one of the best tribute bands going at the moment. Was great when the teacher came on stage for the "another brick in the wall" song and then the huge inflatable pig at the end just appeared out of nowhere. Great night of music that actually didn't even cost me anything thanks to Planet Rock (won them in a competition and couldn't even remember entering), spent with family was even better.



















 
Think that will do for today, may catch up with more of 2013 later. Still to come, Helvellyn, the loss of my little lady Casper, Saxon, Quireboys, Crashdiet and Jettblack. Back soon :)

Why

I started life as a little molecule in my mums womb. I grew and became a child of life. When it was time I got kicked out of that warm place where I got fed all the time and I could sleep all the time if I wanted. It was really bright when I came out into the open and then I saw someone holding me in there hands. Then they looked at me, god! what a sight! I started to scream but they just kept making silly noises at me. Then they washed me and put me in this cage that I couldn't get out of. I get kicked out of some where nice and warm and get put into a bloody cage! Over time more and more people started sticking these ugly mugs in front of my face, I started to get used to the fact that not everybody can be beautiful. This woman started sticking things off her body into my mouth and then this warm stuff started coming out and it was quite tasty. Life carried on for a few years and I got bigger and bolder. I had to do what I was told when I was told to do it, or I got hit or shoute...

2018 updated

Well, i just checked the date of my last post, it seems it was nearly a year and a half ago. So much time passed, so much has happened. We are currently enjoting HRH 12, over in Wales, for the last time. From 2019 we head over to Great Yarmouth. Seen a few bands, drank a few beers and talked the talk. Sometimes i wonder why i go to see the bands that i have seen before. Sometimes, not always, the set is the same, the clothes are the same and the songs are the same. An example was Saxon last night. The set up on stage was exactly the same as every gig i have been to of theirs, the music that they played was virtually the same and they were dressed exactly the same( well Biff was anyway). Don't get me wrong, they give a good performance, but we want to see something different. We want to hear new songs as well as the classics. We want to take away new memories, not the same ones. I think i may think wisely about who i pay to see based on how they are performing. Iron maiden show the...

Happy Happy Time Well so far this year and we are only on the 12th. We have paid off my 50th birthday event, booked accommodation for a family wedding in Norfolk, and got the final sign off date for purchasing our house(just waiting for the council to get back to the solicitors, typical). So far the year is going well Still to come is bonus time! will I get enough to buy the new car hat I want? I am looking for a 4x4 specifically either a Isuzu Trooper or a Mitsibushi Pajero, been offered one of these in really good nick for £2250 so need that amount as a minimum. Pictures to come of the new car when I get it. Now time to look for some more accommodation, for a few days away with my partner in Lancaster. They all seem a bit steep though, and thats for mid week.
