Frank: December 2006

Run your fingers through my soul...

Happy day... sweet dreams...

So here it is...

Well my wonderful blog is two years old, for two years excerps of my exceptionally dull and depressing life have been dropped into the abyss of the internet. The passed months have seen a decline in my blogging, not that anyone is really interested, hopefully I'll get back into it as I find it useful. It's great for remembering all those little but brilliant things you have done in your life, and its great just reminiscing in the past, of happier, or just warmer times.

It is now officially Christmas day, it doesn't feel like it but I stick with the post I made last year, I am getting too old for Christmas.

Just to see the fuse get lit...

I forgot to say it was fancy dress...

Well last night was a damn good night out. It started when Will and Marc turned up at mine and the drink started to flow, after a few shots and a few cans we were on our way to the cadet party, wooo! It wasn't promising anything special so we couldn't be disappointed, the alcohol kept coming, along with a pile of mince pies and some classics cadets tunes. Marc's drunken stupor was as ever very comic resulting in at least one smashed pint glass. (bravo Marcus) Claire turned up half way through the night and as soon as we could we were out the gate, after tidying up and reversing into an old blokes car, on our way to Bury.

Let it snow...

After finally getting hold Wheeler into the car we headed to Brazilias, a place I had until last night never been to. As soon as we we're in the door we were bumping into all the ex Thurston cronies as well as old cadets and even people who disappeared of the radar several years ago. The drink kept flowing and there was even a flurry of snow just to make an all round brilliant night out with best friends and old friends!

Does anyone know him...?

Won't you shine out for me...

I'm amazed this picture has at this time been viewed a whopping 555 times! My most popular by far. That's a record I'll doubt I'll beat. Cheers everyone!

Sparks will light your trail...

Night by night away from it all...

Last night was another great night out. I had been invited to the MBB quiz with Jamie and Claire for what I thought would be a quite night I couldn't have been more wrong. The night started at the opening of the new Crewe Flats Common Room which was quite posh and with loads of free food and drink so they was no way we could let that opportunity pass. After an hour or so of stuffing our faces we headed down to the union for the quiz in Firth Court. The tickets gave us free pizza, beer and wine, so we were all quite merry by the end of the quiz. We then won the 'team with the best name' prize which turned out to be a bottle of rosé and a bottle of red. Which we drunk as we made our way into town. Go team "If I was an enzyme I would be a helicase, so I could unzip your genes"!!!! Once in town we found ourselves in Varsity for more drink and lots of crazy sit down dancing. After a pint Tom suggested we go back to his as he had loads of alcohol in his room, however the route home passed a play park that we spent a good half an hour in, swing and sliding like little drunken children, it was sooo much fun! ...

I'm the king of all time and nothing is impossible In my all powerful mind...

Well Thursday was, for me, one of the best nights I've had out for a while! Me and Claire brought our Levellers tickets back in September and finally we were at the gig. The only problem with going out Thursday was the essay deadline I had Friday morning, But "No worries, that's why god invented coffee!?" We were both very excited by the time we arrived at the Octogon, once inside we got ourselves our overly priced drinks and had just enough time for me to have a phone call with Emma before the support band came on. It was great to have a quick chat with her, took me home for a little bit, and gave me a change to make her jealous again. It also got me invited to another Levellers gig in 2 weeks time! (yay!) So after talking to Emma we made our way to the front of the stage for the support band the 3 Daft Monkeys (not 3 demented cats Claire!) and they were pretty good, very funky folk music. Then it was time for the Levellers themselves and they were awesome to say the least, playing all the classics and my favorites, they were just amazing . I lost my voice and hearing by the end of the night, I couldn't have asked for more! The fiddle off finale was pretty incredible and totally made up for the one song I love that they didn't play, 'Julie'...
After such an amazing few hours I had the worst downer ever, 3 hours of essay to write, but even that didn't ruin such a great night out. Can't wait till December 16th now!
