Not Ali G, but a figure skater who won a silver medal in the Torino Wonter Olympics.
Now personally I couldn't really give 2 fecks about figure skating, but this little hotie simply must be blogged.





Drool !!

.
So Sunday we woke up (still in Bristol), said goodbye to Rach & Co, and myself & DaveR made our way into Bristol city. We went shopping, in the largest Forbidden Planet in the world, which had just opened the previous day. Then we went for breakfast\lunch in the GreenHouse pub & chatted to 2 cute, friendly barmaids, 1 of which turned out to be just 18, but hey... The other cutie offered us a pink umberella (not a sexual innuendo or a cocktail unfortunately) to brace the rain as we left on a brief site-seeing tour of Bristol, with the barmaid's rough directions as a guide. So we saw the new Millenium Square & a cool cathedral.









After we felt we were pissed-on enough, we grabbed a train back to Birmingham.

Later on Sunday, we headed over to Director Eric's apartment, which is a horrible dump outside, apart from being above a lovely pizza place, which we sampled with much delight. But inside, the apartment is lovely. So we played 5 Euro's worth of poker while listening to 'The Average White Band' & 'The Isley Brothers' & other assorted jazz.
(DaveR won!)
Then we left & went back to DaveR's for some kip.
Before I grabbed my plane home on Monday morning which all went well, except from being an hour late.

Oh, & you don't have to take your shoes off in the airport anymore !!

So Saturday myself & DaveR got a train to Bristol to see Rach.
We got there about 6.30-ish & met all of Rach's mates in the student dorms buildings.
So we (about 15 of us) popped off to the student bar for drinks where we played drinking games.

GBP 1.50 for a double Jack Daniels & Coke. Criminally inexpensive.
Needless to say we were quite happy when, after about 2 hours, I'd had about 6 or 7 drinks. Then we had shots & left to go back to the dorm, a 2 minute walk away, even in a drunken ramble. So we went to the TV room for drinks. Minus Rach & some caring nursing aides [Faith, Katie & Amy] who went back to her room to "re-coup". And DaveR went to the town with Pippin, a friend\tutor of Rach's, for drinks\to chat up the local talent.
Sometime later, Rach had re-couped & I went to her room to chat with Arian (mostly about religion as far as I can recall), then later (no idea what time) DaveR came back & after that we slept til 11am, Sunday.

Stay tuned for Sunday.

.
Ok, Here's the news.

It all started on Thursday, when DaveR text me:
"Hey Kev. What up?
Fancy calling over to mine tomorrow, if you're not up to anything.
We can head out, have a larf.
I'm at.. Birmingham."

So I head over Friday morning Ryanair flight.
(Side note: Personally I wouldn't care if RyanAir hostesses were drunk, just once the pilot & co-pilot's were sane & sober.)
But anyway, so I text DaveR as I'm walking through Birmingham

on my way to his house, to ask him should I head straight to his house or stop for breakfast to waste some time. [He was only off work at 4am that morning or something so I was willing to give him a break.]
Anyway, I get no reply & head to his house anyway, on foot.
I find my way most of the way without any hassle, purely from remembering the last time I was there (October). I only had to stop for directions once.
And on my way I find DaveR running to find a pay phone to call me. The poor lad. (Sorry DaveR !!) Ah well, he seemed to enjoy the jog anyway.

Fast forward a few hours, we decide to head to the Bull Ring (Classy Birmingham shopping centre full of top totty) & DaveR notices Mr. Noel Fielding (Vince Noir of 'The Mighty Boosh' who we're going to see that night - see picture)



So we talk briefly to Mr. Noel & get our picture taken, DaveR gets his notepad autographed, & we wander off to do some shopping, happy that our weekend is off to a great start, & looking forward to seeing the show later.

Fast forward to the show, which we make it just in time for.
In short, the show is great. Absolutely hilarious improv stuff.


But a girl behind us is laughing her ass off way too hard.
A very deep & thunderous attention-seeking laugh.
And after the interval her boyfriend joins in the ridiculously loud laughing.
But myself & DaveR have our 'Might Boosh' t-shirt newly purchased from the merchandise stall in the lobby, & it's a great show so we're happy chappys.

After the show we head to the pub.
(The something & something - will get the name of that later - hopefully DaveR will post it as a comment)
We meet Director Eric & his mate (also can't remember the name), but it was a great night.

And when we leave, we ask a taxi parked outside to bring us home but he refuses us so Eric decides to give him dogs abuse in his Scottish accent;
"You're shiiiite. You're fucking useless. Mooove ooonn!"
All to the tune of some guy sitting outside it, laughing amusedly.

So that's Friday.
Stay tuned for Saturday's news later.

Hey all,

Plenty to report about being over in Birmingham to see DaveR at the weekend,
incl. a trip to Rach & her college mates in Bristol on the Saturday night.
But I'll wait until I stick some pictographic evidence on a disk to show y'all.
Hopefully tomorrow I'll bring them in.

But for the mo, just to amuse you is some fantastic lyrics from the world of rap:

Brought to you by Nelly - "Grillz"
(feat. Paul Wall, Ali, Gipp)

Rob the jewelry store and tell 'em make me a grill.
Dirrty, R&B.
Add da whole top diamond and the bottom Row's gold.

[J.D.]
Yo we bout to start a epidemic wit dis one
Ya'll know what dis is... So So Def

[Nelly]
Got 30 down at the bottom, 30 mo at the top
All invisible set in little ice cube blocks
If I could call it a drink, call it a smile on da rocks
If I could call out a price, let's say I call out a lot
I got like platinum and white gold, traditional gold
I'm changin grillz errday, like Jay change clothes,
I might be grilled out nicely (oh) In my white tee (oh),
On South beach (oh) in my wife beat.
V V and studded you can tell when they cut it
Ya see my granmama hate it, but my lil mama love it
Cuz when I...

[Woman]
Open up ya mouth, ya grill gleamin (say what)
Eyes stay low from da cheifin'

[Nelly]
I got a grill I call penny candy you know what that means,

I wouldn't leave it for nothin only a crazy man would
So if you catch me in ya city, somewhere out in ya hood just say

[Chorus:]
Smile fo me daddy
(What you lookin at)
Let me see ya grill
(Let you see my what)
Ya, ya grill ya, ya, ya grill
(Rob da jewelry store and tell 'em make me a grill)
Smile fo me daddy
(What you lookin at)
I want to see your grill
(You wanna see my what)
Ya, ya grill ya, ya, ya grill
(Had a whole top diamonds and da bottom Row's gold)

[Paul Wall]
What it do baby
It's da ice man Paul Wall
I got my mouth lookin somethin like a disco ball
I got da diamonds and da ice all hand set
I might cause a cold front if I take a deep breath
My teeth gleaming like I'm chewin on aluminum foil
Smilein showin off my diamonds sippin on some potin oil
I put my money where my mouth is and bought a grill
20 carrots 30 stacks let 'em know im so fo real
My motivation is from 30 pointers V VS the furniture my mouth
Piece simply symbolize success
I got da wrist wear and neck wear dats captivatin
But it's my smile dats got these on-lookers spectatin
My mouth piece simply certified a total package
Open up my mouth and you see mo carrots than a salad
My teeth are mind blowin givin everybody chillz
Call me George Foreman cuz I'm sellin everybody grillz

[Chorus]

[Gipp]
Gipp got dem yellows, got dem purples, got dem reds
Lights gon hit ya and make you woozie in ya head
You can catch me in my 2 short drop
Mouth got colors like a fruit loop box

[Ali]
Dis what it do when da lou
Ice grill Country Grammar
Where da hustlas move bricks

Where I got em you can spot them
On da top in da bottom
Gotta bill in my mouth like im Hillary Rodham

[Gipp]
I ain't dissin no body but lets bring it to da lite
Gipp was da first wit my mouth bright white
Yeah deez hos can't focus cuz they eyesight blurry
Tippin on some 4's you can see my mouth jewelry

[Ali]

1 white, 1 yellow, like Fabolous chain
and da otha set is same got my name in da mold

(Had a whole top diamonds and da bottom Row's gold)

[Chorus]

[Woman]
Boy how you get grill that way and
How much did you pay
Every time I see you
Tha first thing I'm gon' say hey.....

[Chorus]

I haven't been so impressed since 'Cabin Fever'!

Not that either of the films were fantastic,
but for the best actors names ever:

First there was RIDER STRONG
Rider Strong IMDb Link

In 'Final Destination 3' we have TEXAS BATTLE
Texas Battle IMDb Link

Can you get a cooler name than that?
Really?
Brilliant!

A Baby AntEater:


That is all!

The Mighty Boosh stage show:

Can't wait.
