Having a ball................







So im at the end of my 2nd year at uni now, which means loads of work and loads of play aswell,


Saturday night was our summer ball now for most unis this means a small get together..............Not Roehampton..........we might give out bad degrees bu we know how to party

So after the most rediculous anpointless orchestra concert that morning 9-1!! we went tot he ball it started at 1
so at 1.15 we arrived
1.30 Watched the tuberats(www.myspace.com/tuberats) they are pretty good

2.00 went on pedalos(beths didnt get the idea of 2 sets of pedals she relaxed)

2.15 massive slide!!!!

2.30 Dodgems I caned some lecturer(Later found out she was beths lecturer..........

3pm Football (this was so BORING!!)



4pm we went to see BLAHBLAHBLAH(funny band) and Richard Blackwood, now i wasnt expecting much from RB but he was so funny, borderline racist at times but hilarious!!!

After this we had a little rest and went for dinner at Nandos(best restaurant ever) and went home to get ready........................my time getting ready 4 minutes.....beths time getting ready........................4 hours..................ill not say who i thought looked better.............................but it wasn't her.........................................................................................................................................................................................And it was me

So we went to the nightime gig, so we got there....went on the whizzer...suffered whiplash.



Then had another rip on the dodgems before playign some frog game in which i kept whacking the carnie
then we made our way to the main stage to see the 3 big acts
First out was jocelyn Brown- AWESOME!!real diva to the soundman and stormed off in the end but her set was something else,
Then Liberty X came out- im not gonna comment on their singing but id like to point out michelle heaton pointed at me. blew a kiss at me and clapped when i started, this is not in my head beth and her friends all saw!!!

then came the big one THE ORDINARY BOYs!!!Awesome set only marred by chantelle refusing to come out the side of the stage.......i should point out we were at the front barriers with thousands of people behind us we could almost touch the acts;


Some facts from the day


1:The ORdinary boys played a new song; at the end when we were getting set lists and stuff someone gave me the new song unfrotunately their security saw and ripped it off me they were nice and gave me a normal set list but for a few minutes i had their new song written the day before hand
2. Not drinking is a moneysaver- if you wanted alcohol you had to buy a wristband- Wristband = 6 drinks and cost 12.50 a band- this got you a small glass of drink plus mixer- for 50p i could have a full can of coke!!BArgain!!!
3. Beth Cant do dodgems
4. Chantelle is actually quite pretty
5. I could see preston controlling himself as i shouted at him.................he has a bad history with simons

So that was out ball, we planned to stay to the end but we wussed out about 3.30 and came home but it was a good one, now ive got the college end of year bash in two weeks..except this time im running it so its gonna be a tad more stressful for me

Jazz Band gig in 2 weeks, something i said after christmas was that i was gonna spend less time on jazz band cause it took over a bit, now i feel mega unprepared!!!! but i know itll all work out, i have a good team of friends round me who always rally at this stage of the year!! so itll be grand,
10th of may if anyones interested matt will be here whacking the binlids!!(PS the lower flashbox has our big number for the gig in it)

SO beth had a lot of her little funny moments recently:

Yesterday she was going to view a house, this house is expensive, but really nice, and her selling point to everyone was its so close!its so close......................she wanted to leave 45 minutes before the arranged time.....if we're not punctual itll be sold!!

Then we watched Little Miss Sunshine...........i felt so smart.................i was working it out at quite a slow pace....but compared to beth it was lightning!!!

then her worst one of the week so far..........i Said"OH MAN SPINAL TAP are playing at LIVE EARTH"(which we are going to) she asked who is spinal tap???????????????

The New face of Grammar School Education!!


A sleepless night................an anxious wait on a letter........................knowing that 15000 people are going through the same as you, but you've the most important................................................knowing this piece of paper could determine the rest your life........................................ oh and i forgot........YOU'RE 10 YEARS OLD So this morning my little bro adam(ads) got his 11+ results and found out that like his 2 brothers before him he got an A!!!i was so pleased for him, anyone who knows what its like to put a kid through exams knows the stress of it all so thats why my mum and dad have always been into helping us with exams, and we always got told "itll be worth it when the results come out" now having heard that at 11+, gcse and alevel i can safely say its the most annoying phrase ever, because when your mates are outside playing football thats where you wanna be and you know you'll be there in 15 minutes but you gotta finish this stupid practice paper!!!but it is worth it, adam is now gonna carry on the white boy tradition of going to Regent House Grammar and leaving his mark on it, anyone who knows ads will know he's quite a brute so whereas most kids would be scared about carrying on from 2 famous brothers adam will just go for it and probably end up leaving just as big a mark, let me explain in a points system with:

Rubbish = 1 point
Average = 2points
and good = 3 points

Matt was rubbish at rugby(1), good at music(3) average at school work(2) and good at drama(3) = 9 points for matt

I was average at sport(2),good at music(3) average at school work(after 3rd year)(2) and average at drama(2)= 9 points for simon

Adam will cane eveyone at rugby becuase he has my build and is incredibly strong for his age so id predict good at sport(3), he plays piano and corent and will only get better at both, as well as his song writing career, so id say good at music (3) , at the age of 10 he is Daddy Warbucks in his school play and has for the last 5 years been "Man with dish cloth on head supposed to be a shephard" in the corps nativity so id say goo dat drama (3) and school work i think its safe to say there is no Dr White between the 3 of us, we're all smart and good at school but i reckon he has the white curse.......which means science will just confuse him so ill say average at school work(2) that means 11 for Ads so he kicks me and matts butts


so yeah thats ads he's done really well and i think my readers can look forward to a number of humourous stories about him as the months continue..................................story 1 mum bought him a regent coat this morining so that people know where he is going!!knowone is believing her it was in the sale excuse

So as always

Albums im listening to lots - Richard Cheese + ounge against the machine
Best Dvd ive watched-Some more scrubs
What im looking forward to - Seeing beth tomorrow and getting new laptop stuff(see next blog)
Wii Update- See next blog it'll explain alot
new years resolution update- both slipped a bit one is still going alot better than the other

the passion of the scooby.....


So for anyone who reads glynns blog you'll know that on tuesday we all went to see ben folds!but after reading glynns blog i realised he missed many important factors and events that i feel the public should know!

So 6.30 tuesday night i met matt, glyn and beth and we made our way to the apollo. now ouside the venue was when the fun started when going through forthcoming events we saw some events we'd like to go to:

Nelly Furtado- matt suggested this but he only wanted to go if she did her old preachy stuff before she turned to canibalism.

Barenaked Ladies - well Glynn wanted to see this even after he found out it was the band rather than a description of the act. but it was pointed out he knew 2 songs so may get rather bored.

and the Best- Scooby Doo - back live on stage- Now id like to focus on the BACK LIVE ON STAGE, they are gonna do a live resurection of scooby doo on stage!!! at this stage i did an impression of Scooby doo greeting mary magdalene after his live resurection!and decided that mel gibson should now focus on "The passion of the Scooby"!!!!

so then we moved into the gig, my first innapropriate comment of the night came as we entered the venue "WAOH clem snide are playing" now clem snide was the support act who wasnt too bad, he just has the most unfortunate name ever, for an acoustic folk singer, clem snide should be a heavy metal death band who worship satan and turn their amps up to eleven!but its one guy and a guitar, now he was good but unfortuantely he walked onto the stage wearing a long white coat and looking like a gymp. He also proved that the best way to silence over a thousand people is to walk onto a stage the room died!!!!!but luckily 1 brave soul managed to help the poor guy out and break the atmosphere, there was an incredibly sarcastic "woo..........clem.................Snide" and "plug your guitar in, it will work better"but credit where its due........he was average.

So then the main act arrived MR FOLDS, 3 men making the same noise as 30!it was awesome he is a legend on keys and his drummer who learnt the set in a week was great, and the bassist knew 4 notes!one on each string!!!!!he played most of the songs i wanted, except his 2 rock numbers!but he was awesome he played for nearly 2 hours and had the crowd into it the whole time, Although i would like to mention that he does seem to have a following of incredibly tall people, he should probably mark on his cd "Ben Folds: official music of Giants"but he was awesome.

So afterward we were leaving and saw someone signing autographs, after some suggestions from everyone"its ben folds"Matt, "its the queen" beth(who always answers the queen to any question, guess who rang today beth? THE QUEEN???)and glynns suggetion that it may be scooby king of the jews, we soon realised it was JAMIE CULLUM the jazz dwarf so after everyone realised and waved to no reaction i deicide to hang out the window and inform him he rocked to which he replied Thanks man please join me on my next tour to play trumpet and please accept this cheque for 5million pounds as a deposit"to which i said thanks jambo.(please make your own decision as to when this became a dream)

So that was our night at ben folds

Albums im listening to lots - Ben Folds Songs for silverman
Best Dvd ive watched-Frasier series 5
What im looking forward to - Seeing beth tomorrow
Wii Update- Still in the box but with good reason(see next blog ill write)
