Midlands Ho!

Paul and I rocked down to the Midlands to celebrate Jason being a year older than us again for the next 7 or 8 months. The usual carnage took place. On the Saturday we had a lunch reservation for quite early, about 11.30 I think. So we were all up and about. We had a light breakfast. I settled into the best chair in the world with a superb view of the rolling countryside and started reading a bit of my book. Paul…in his inimitable fashion piped up “Is it too early for a glass of wine then?”

This was the result

The Wignall clan and I

Bunch of psychos the lot of ’em.  Taken at the beer festival in Bispham Green.  May 08.

Skydiving

A long time ago back when I was suicidally stupid rather than today when I am just a bit of a thickie, Aggy and I went to California for a skydiving holiday.  We’re both alive to tell the tale so it didn’t go too badly.

On the final day we had videos made of us doing our solo jumps.  You’ll notice my exit from the plane doesn’t go too well and I somersault for about five thousand feet.  I meant to do that, seriously!

All good clean fun.

Why the English hate the Scottish

Emma and I were driving back from our Easter break with Sharon and Stewart in Edinburgh.  Easter flipping Sunday and the Scottish police are out with their cameras generating revenue instead of sitting at home with their kids celebrating the day that the good lord climbed out of his cave or something.

The only good thing is…see that fella behind me in the big silver car – well we were racing and as the photographic evidence proves – Steeley wins!!

Here we have a good close up proving beyond any shadow of a doubt that Darren was driving when the skirt wearing haggis eating braveheart watching cock monkeys took the picture.  Seriously – 89mph and they get all arsey.  Unbelievable.

Detox is definitely called for

Myself, Jason, Paul and Uncle C have just returned from a week of carnage in Hong Kong.  We went out to watch the annual HK 7s tournament and see which one of us would be able to last the drinking distance.  If you’re interested the winners podium would be

1) Howarth
2) Steele
3) Simkiss
4) Wignall

The guy in the picture above is Kavin Oh [ and of course me ] who is my facebook buddy and resident of Singapore.  He was over there with his wife and managed to liberate one of the spare tickets I ended up with.

Everyone had a good time and more importantly everyone got home safely.

Happy days!

Oh, and as a final farewell – you know that Mr Howarth who is allegedly number 1 on the podium….. lightweight
