Daily Blog # 0229 – Tuesday 17th August 2010 – #edfringe special

Last night we kicked off our Edinbrugh Fringe proper when we saw our first show of the week. DILDON’T! was our opening gig, written and directed by fellow rllmuker James Hamilton, and member of the Casual Violence! collective based in London and Brighton.

Set in a sex shop for new and second-hand sex toys, DILDON’T! plays [...]

At the Edinburgh Fringe festival!

After having such an awesome time last year, we decided to go again, and so here we are. Last year’s visit was my first time at the #edfringe after years of longing, and we enjoyed ourselves so much last August that coming again this was a forgone conclusion.

The journey from [...]

Gill didn’t go to Lucie’s garden party in the end as her hangover got the better of her.

Not really good enough and we’ve had to have some upsetting conversations and I’ve told her the wedding is off until she can handle her drink. It’s simply not on, and I won’t stand for it.

So yesterday [...]

It’s particularly hard to write a blog based on the last day or so when you’ve not done much.

Besides watching football, playing Crackdown, drinking beer and looking after my hungover girlfriend, I haven’t done much. Hungover girlfriend I hear you ask? Yeah, Gill went out to a friend’s wedding reception last night and even [...]

Wedding websites; what’s the point? I went out for a few drinks with a couple of my ex-work colleagues Jo and Clare and they naturally after a couple of drinks the subject turned towards weddings, and wedding websites. Apparently they’re all the rage, and every almost-married couple needs one.

But do we really need one? I [...]

Today was my last day driving around Yorkshire for work, and I’ve really enjoyed it.

I came across some beautiful scenery today, much like yesterday in fact, but today’s scenery actually made me stand back in awe.

It wasn’t one particular village, hillside, or picturesque town hall, it was the whole overwhelming beauty of England.

I’ve [...]

They say you should never meet your heroes.

The reasoning behind this is because you’ll only be disappointed that they’re not as amazing as you thought you were, and I guess it’ll leave you questioning what a ‘hero’ really is, and why we look up to them.

I had an experience today that would definitely come up [...]

This afternoon I was out in my car driving around Yorkshire, as you do. And it’s a shame I was driving because as I was travelling from place to place I came across the most amazing views of the Yorkshire countryside, and it’s a shame I couldn’t stop the car to take a picture.

I [...]

One of the most important aspects of a wedding is the first dance.

The moment when you can finally swing your hips with your new wife or husband, and everyone else gets to watch. At the weddings I’ve been to, this is always a lovely moment, and one that you can share with them, too. After [...]

I am ab-solutely knackered, and predictably it’s all down to a lack of sleep.

UFC 117 was on last night, which meant James and I were up all night watching men hit seven shades of poop out of each other in the name of entertainment, and it was totally worth it.

The main event didn’t [...]
