It’s that weird in between bit. Christmas day seems like ages ago. I’m back at work for the day today. It’s quiet. Christmas day was ace. I cooked a goose amongst other things for the family and we exchanged some great gifts. Santa was good. I got some Sabatier kitchen knifes which are tops.

FIRE was a success. I was going to post some photos but I’ve not got my card reader with me today.. they will follow soon. Great venue, great atmosphere, great music. Hats off to all the DJ’s especially Dharma, who managed to mix in the ironic fire alarm that we managed to set off, and hats off to Mr Kendal who had the whole place jumping. Thanks to Henry for hosting the after party.

Looking forward to NYE now!

So a few things of interest happened last night.

1./ I went out flyering and postering. I’m rather hoping that the fantom “rip down all of Katana’s posters” dosen’t strike. dropped off posters and flyers in several strategic locations.

2./ Went to the Blues Bar. Dan Webster was doing his ‘looping thing’ . It’s is fascinating to watch – I had ringside seat. He has a bank of peddle samplers which he riffs / sings / strums / synths into and sets up a 4 (?) bar loop with. He brings in and takes out bits to build up to a one man band like you’ve never heard before. This was his warm up act to the Birdman Rallies (ne Tigerbomb) which due to the pooness I was feeling, even though Dan’s warming was as warming as possible, I could not hang around. Oh yea – Simon (the landlord) has the same glasses as me. (slightly different colour) He’d argue that I’ve got the same glasses as him. The annoying this was that we did exactly the same thing 4 years ago with our last new glasses selection.

3./ Walking home I heard an incredible soundbite as I was walking past a bunch of jolly youngsters outside McDonalds (the American Embassy) : “The thing about Ripley is, All you’ve got to do is remember it’s a Gothic Culture who live off Ice Cream”. Marvelous.

Anyone up for a party? We’re chucking another Yule Log on it.
Christmas Jumpers for goal posts. . .It’s..

Been off with Man Flu for the day. Had an eye infection type thing going on as well so went to the opticians and he told me it was nowt serious and then fitted me out with new glasses see. Anyhoo. Enough of me winging. Lucozade, Tylonol, Chicken soup and next a garlicy chili based curry is on the cards. Bish Bash Bosh.

OMG! Was doing a little research in google analytics and noticed I had a massive spike in traffic for people looking for “dragon drop” – not “DragonDrop” or similar. So I dug a little further and found this thing what they were looking for – I found it! OMG! Watch and See! I just went to metal dragons and…STEEL DRAGON DROP! OMG! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZDQmb2BQCI ./

So there’s one that I’ve missed in between the photos below and one that comes after these (from Kenya – looking forward to seeing that)

Getting some more DragonDrop Adventure Shirt made up soon – if anyone’s going on a worthy / cool / funny / exciting / big / bogus adventure, let me know:) You may get a free T-Shirt!* and make it into the DragonDrop hall of fame.

*Free / buy me a beerware

Then there was this one.. where we all went to see Bongo off into the big wide world by having a stag do on the Algarve. This was a rather big cliff which made my tummy go funny (nothing to do with the Super Bock). Bongo (pictured above showed no fear. He has, no breaks) What a Fantastic trip. A bunch of very old friends acting like a bunch of very cheeky primates. We managed to break the stag eventually. It took 4 days of heavy shift rotation though. They’ve got their first wee’n on the way now and are happy as larry. Hope he/she get his/her mothers sense.

Just thinking about the DragonDrop Shirt Shots that I should of added to the gallery ages ago.. Jamie on Dave’s stag weekend up in’t Scotland. Epic banquets, Soggy walks, foggy talks, Leadergate, Whiskey. Fitba. The brilliance of being.

Sat here on the last day of my holiday. Holiday from the Lancashire based job, back into my old life job of working from home and doing bits and bobs. It’s been lovely. Missed it really. The freedom to do stuff when I want and the freedom to do things the way I want them.

We’re sat here at my desk in the front room, eating our tea. All very nice indeed. Did a bunch of Christmas shopping over the past few days which is very organised of me. Anyhoo – got some bits to do now before hoofing off the kids to bed.

This is a bit odd;
