Banging weekend over at Bristol, had a great time seeing all ze music acts we wanted to see at Forwards (bonus seeing Mos Def as a surprise appearance with Erkyah Badu) + linked up with mukkas on Saturday at the Deaner and drunk some cold Bucky (thanks Budget Booze).

Got footy on my return yesterday and enjoyed the lovely sunshine. Got talking to the owner of our favourite post-skate noodle joint after he was asking about my VX when we had it out to watch footy, it got brought up that we put them in the thank you list and matey chucks us a bunch of free food. Sorted haha.

At 8am tomorrow I would be starting back at work in a school like the last few years but instead I’m starting a months work on a vineyard in the south of France, really physical work too in the sunshine so I’m looking forward to feeling nice and healthy at the end of it.

7 days of no beers and running two miles a day, went for a lovely countryside ditch skate at sunset today as well. They’ve done a reservoir repair and it’s now vvvvv good, strimmed the nettles down and swept it all out, just a few cracks to fill and will be golden.

Up in Glasgow for 24 hours to get a tattoo. Just had a little walk around checking out the architecture and am now watching Napoleon Dynamite with a pizza. Stoked.

Only downside is I can’t turn motion smoothing off the hotel tv.

i’m always really interested in people travelling for tattoos. i like my artist but he’s local-ish. hear stories of people going on holiday internationally for tatts

I’ll share a pic in the tattoo thread once the artist posts it on insta @franc

It’s a fox and a crow. It’a loosely an interpretation of some song lyrics, which sounds cheesy, but that’s mostly just to give it some context. Really i just wanted something by this artist, I’ve always wanted a fox tattoo, and this seemed like a fun combination.

Glasgow’s cool though, I’ve not been here before - it’s got a Manchester type of feel which I hope doesn’t offend any Scots haha. I mean in the sense of all the post-industrial redbrick buildings and the way the city is laid out with the murals.

I just checked out the cathedral and the Necropolis which was sick. Now waiting on a pint. Feels like a little European holiday

This is much more likely to offend any Mancs.

Stoked for my wife. She’s written a tv series based on her stage play and it’s out tonight on S4C (Welsh channel 4). I usually go skating on Wednesday nights and I thought I was gonna have to stay in and watch it but she sent me out cos she wants to have a proper party to watch it on Saturday and to watch it with her mate Becky tonight without me.

I went skating but it got dark so I dropped my mate Sharpy off and then drove home. Becky was just arriving as I got home. The programme is on at 9-10 so I thought ā€˜I won’t spoilt their plans!’ and sneakily drove past Becky and continued in the van to the curb spot by my house then popped to the shop and got some cans in.

I’ve had two cans and in between commenting on a load of posts here I’ve been doing slappies and pushing up and down the carpark. Now I’m aware that to many people the way I am choosing to spend my evening might appear tragic, but you know what…I’m loving it :grin:

Heading home now so I can have another beer without being a menace to society.

Yeah that’s the one!

Is the strong language North Walian dialect?

I’ll check it out. Sounds good.

It’s very much on the theme of men are useless let’s just use vibrators and impregnate ourselves with science. Obviously no reflection on my skills as a husband.

Done 2 weeks at a school without killing anyone or wanting to walk into the sea.

Haven’t been on a plane in 6 years :exploding_head:
