Happy Christmas all.

Ok now my head is now stable (to an extent). Friday was a great day out in Birmingham with the crew, to see Tenacious D. I can recollect plenty of memories but I really cannot be bothered to write it all, tho we had a riot. Plenty of drinky and laughs, and of course the D were amazing - the second time me and Tim have seen them now! I am uploading the photos we took as I speak.

Saturday we tippled a few in Birmingham and on the way home, ready for my work night out. So I was half way there when I got home to get ready. The evening started off well, we all got together for more drinks and laughs, then me and our jonny, ken and anna decided to go to DQ bar. By this time I'd given up on talking properly so I decided just to get more drunk and talk bollo*cks with Jonny. I do not actually think I have laughed as much at any one time (one time being a few hours). I actually thought I were going to have a heart attack. By the end of the club we decided to go home and slam the D Complete Mastworks on the TV. Decided to call it a night by 5am.

Sunday was bed day. Nuff said.

Ok so I just got home from Birmingham as me, jonny, rob, timmy, laura, dave and jo went to catch the D at Birmgingham NEC - was a excellent show and im a bit confused now after beers throughout yesterday and today, go to shoot to my works xmas party so I'll upload the photos (brilliant by the way) and I'll talk bollo*ks later.

Ok Sunday was known as 'Daz Day', as it was Daz's 26th Birthday. I was up fresh and early for a some breakfast at Wetherspoons at 1130, then on to the pub known as the Sportsman. As Daz intended the guys to be round at 12, the gaffer opened up for us. Me, Daz, Claire and Rachel were the first to order the beer.

I was happy to be sat staring at the bar at 12pm on a Sunday - love it. Anways as more people turned up, Az, Niki, Walst etc etc the more fun we had. Niki is a comedian. Or a nutter. Or both.

So the beers were sinking, people started to turn up and we all had a great laugh. Then I got on the stage at Walkabout and wished Daz a happy birthday on the mic. Ah the joy.

I have uploaded the pics to the gallery!

Just been to see the Tenacious D Movie with my sister Sally, just as good as I expected. Gonna see the lads in Birmingham next friday with Tim, Laura, Rob, Dave, Jo and our Jonny. Bring on the D. JB is fu*kin Hero..

Can’t you see he’s the man, let me hear you applaud
he is more than a man he's a shiny golden god

If you think its time to fu*king rock, and fu*king roll, out of control,
and then you know you got to rock the block,
and fu*king suck my fu*king cock,
'cause when you rule, you fu*king school all of the fools, out of their jewels,
'cause if you think it’s time,
if you think it’s time,
if you think it’s time to fu*king rock.

He is going to kick your fu*king ass,
and you know his name is Kyle Gass,
rocking and fu*king rolling,
and fu*king rocking,
and fu*king rolling,
and fu*king (vocal solo)..

Friday I went to Manchester (after a lie in, because of a few drinks thursday night) for an afternoon out and to see Jimmy Carr in the Apollo.

The Apollo rules, been there 4 times now, seen Smashing Pumpkins, Queens of the Stone Age and Tenacious D there, all memorable occasions!

Was a great day out, with food and drink (obviously) but some really chavvy pubs amongst others (which I won't go into!)
