Growin' Up

Christ, these things are about as rare as hen's teeth, these days....

Believe it or not, I'm going to have even less time to post, but probably more inspiration, as my wife is due to give birth to number one child soon.

Holy smokes, I'm gonna be an adult....

40? Bollox!!!

My arse.
40? Fuck off. Never. We've been through a lot together and you know what? I love you all. Those that I never kept in touch with but should have?! Those that I sort of kept in touch with and didn,t....well, erm, ...too bad...

Tommy Burns - Legend

Exactly 364 days after my mother died, it was announced today that Celtic great Tommy Burns had also succumbed to his own personal battle with cancer.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family today. I know how much it hurts at this time.

Tommy Burns, R.I.P.

You'll Never Walk Alone

Stereophonics II

Wow. All the favourites were played....Local Boy, Bartender, Madame Helga, Mr Writer, Tramps Vest.....

The band seemed to enjoy themselves as much as the crowd did. A small venue (around 500 people) didn't detract from what was a band playing a tight set of songs they clearly enjoy playing.

Excellent stuff.

Stereophonics

Going to see Stereophonics in Fremantle tonight. Looking forward to it, basically because it's a small club (about 600-700 capacity) and you probably wouldn't get them playing anything smaller than the Barra's at home!

Should be good!!

March 2008

40 degree Christmas Day. 42 degree Boxing Day......every cliche you could think of was there. Then we went to Yanchep National Park and saw my very first real life Koala!

Things are going pretty good....

Well, hello. How have you been?

It's been a while. Been in Perth for almost 4 months now. Am enjoying it, although I miss my family and friends.
Perth is a small but lovely city. Outside the city, the bush goes on for miles. The sheer scale of things here is just outrageous. It's a FOUR HOUR flight to Sydney. Not your 45minute jaunt down to London from Glasgow! Four hours!! I've holiday'd in Europe on shorter flights!!!
Not missing the Hoops too much, what with the local supporters club showing every game live, although some of the performances lately have been making me thank my stars that I'm half-a-world away!!

Still not seen deadly spiders or snakes, kangaroos or koala's, but there is still time...
