Leona Lewis Run
I think this girl has a superb voice.
Ok, I know I am slow but I don't watch or never did watch the X factor, so had never heard of her before. This song really gives me the shivers when I hear it. I suppose it must be my song of the week.

Fancy Dress at the Binet's
Had a fancy dress party round at the Binet's house last night. Had a great time thanks guys. Didn't get back until 5am so obviously got a bit worse for wear.
Took some photo's which can be found here.
After looking at them, I think I look more like a shemale than a heavy metal fan! But hey, I enjoyed myself ;-)

Motorcycle Madness
Nearly made it to the number one spot on Motorcycle Madness on Facebook.
Not bad for a beginner! Oh and that was second place in Rank 8.
Corrected the html on this one, sorry.

AC/DC Black Ice
Now here's a date for your diaries. The 20th October 2008, yup next Monday. It's the date that AC/DC release their latest album called Black Ice. It's been eight years since their last Album and I can't wait.
I had a look around the Net and found this video about all their albums:

Update
Hmmmm?
I might be thinking about updating this site again soon.
It's about time I think.
I was thinking about just deleting everything but couldn't bring myself to doing it.
So many things have happened over the past few months, so I gotta have a place to "VENT" everything and that place has gotta be here me thinks.
I'm hopefully back :-)

Markiss meets Kiss
Well I finally did it. I have met Kiss in the flesh. Only been waiting to do that for the past 31 years since I have been a Kiss fan. Yup, that's me and Gene Simmons above. They were all great people and all willing to sign anything you put in front of them.
Oh and I met Whitesnake backstage too. Here is David Coverdale after he just got off stage.
You can see all the photo's of the concert and Amsterdam here.
You can see the official photo's of meeting Kiss here.

Water Rat's Itinerary 2008
Uncle Barry has sent me the new Itinerary for the Water Rat's in 2008. Not sure if any of the Jersey crew are going this year but you can download it from the link below if you want to take a look.
I have just been taking a peak at the Rat's website and found something quite amusing. I'm sure Mr P will find it funny too. Here are a few lines pinched from the site. It is part of a diary from the 2007 Tour:
"Day 6:
Of course that night becomes a night to remember, at least for our friend Tony from Jersey. After the session Tony goes back to the Jersey Brats' boat, but in the dark night she falls off a small wall and hurts her left leg very badly. She is brought to a Norwich hospital where the emergency team looks after her leg. Unfortunately, there is no George Clooney on duty at the Norwich ER that night."
and this one:
"Day 7
Friday morning, nice weather, everybody trying to get a mooring space in the tiny harbour of Rockland St Mary. We arrive at a crowded "New Inn". The band plays pretty swingin', and even Tony, our Jersey girl, seems to be well off again after last nights bloody experience. Beer seems to be tasty again, and can there be any better proof of being okay? "
You can read those two and see the pictures here for Day 6 and Day 7.
Well I thought it was funny. Maybe we should call you Mrs P from now on :-)

St Malo Blockade
This doesn't make for good reading if you have organised a weekend to St Malo! Let's hope it stays on the Freight ships and not the Passenger ships, otherwise we will be on the piss in St Helier I think.

Match of the Bay '08
Match of the Bay is on Sunday 4th May this year if anyone fancies coming.
Should be a good laugh as it was last year. Even managed to get a few photo's of it. Not of the actual football though. Will try and get some this year.
Will St Mary retain the cup or will St Ouen steal it from their clasp?
Only one way to find out! Kick off at 3pm............. I think! Well it has been for the past 16 years!

End of an Era
Today has been a bit of a headf*ck day for me. We have got a skip and are in the process of emptying out the office. I am still working while the others are filling it up though. I seem to have loads of work to finish by the end of the week and there is no chance in hell that it will be finished in time.
I was only told yesterday that the idea was to have the company closed down by Friday! I suppose these things need to have a date set otherwise nothing will ever happen. So 3 day's left of employment and counting. Then on to bigger and better things.
Anyone fancy giving me a job :-) Go on you know you want to.
