This is the prequel to one of my favourite shows ever, Only Fools and Horses. Its set in 1960 when Del boy and co are all teenagers and Rodney hasn’t been born yet.  Grandad is in it along with Del’s parents Joan and Reg.  Theres also a suprise role for one of the original cast, i wont spoil it for you.

Heres the Iplayer link http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00qgrc7

and fortunately someone has it on youtube saving me the 3 hour piracy process

Thats part 1 there is 9 youtube parts. Give it a watch and let me know what you think troops!

a wee sketch to kick start the weekend. the video and sound quality are not as good, as i had a problem with windows movie maker, so turn up the sound unplug your brain and you might get a wee laugh out of it

I got my 1000th visitor today.  The site statistics on the right hand column show the number of visits each day and the total number of visitors. 1000 different people have now logged on to wayupnorth.tv.  Thats quite good considering the site only launched 5 months ago.

I notice that whenever i post anything slightly political the views go through the roof. I wonder if the likes of Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon have ever stumbled across my ramblings. 

I enjoy social networking and i hope i can keep the site going for a long time, its a bit of fun and i hope folk get a wee laugh out of it.  A big thanks to everyone who has viewed and commented.

A couple of months ago i blogged about indonesia setting a world sky lantern record.  http://www.wayupnorth.tv/2009/12/09/scottish-world-record/

I quipped “We certainly couldn’t fly sky lanterns the wind would have them in the clyde”.

And thats exactly what happened!  Glasgow sky lantern enthusiasts, probably inspired by the Indonesian effort, have brought chaos to our coast guards. 

The wind carries the lanterns along the clyde and the coast guards mistake them for distress flares.  Heres the scary part, It costs £6,000 an hour to send out a rescue helicopter!  So far its happened four times and a fuck load of money has been wasted.

How can we fix this? Does anyone have any ideas how to stop this mayhem?

Its Rabbie Burns night! I had chicken fried rice for dinner. 

Och if you want to celebrate Burns you’re as well getting you’re hole as tucking into a Haggis. Our Rabbie was the most famous shagger of them all!

they say bad things come in threes. i don’t believe in that shite but three bad things happened yesterday.  1/ broke my mobile phone 2/ broke my microwave 3/ got locked out my youtube channel.

i got the phone wet at football, it fell out my pocket onto the dew soaked grass,  the microwave was 5 years old and might not have lasted much longer anyway, and the youtube channel was lost because i cancelled my igoogle account without realising they now own youtube, so im locked out forever.  bastard!

i think superstition is aload of pish, but it is strange that this would all happen in the same 24hours.  anyone had a similar bad three experience? share yer stories people!

Played my first 11 a side game of the year this morning. In fact it was the first for a couple of months with christmas holidays and all the bad weather.

Here i am straight afterwards looking like a pitbull chewin a wasp.  I was fucked! I spewed a couple of times as well, my fitness is a fuckin joke.

Ive retired about six times but keep making comebacks. Theres no point saying this will be my last game cos i know il get lured into it again at some point, its the habit of a lifetime!

We lost 3-2.  When your chasing that equalizing goal, everything in the world is temporarily forgotten. The bills, the work, girlfriends and anything else negative fucks right off for a few minutes until the final whistle.  Its the ultimate form of therapy!

It started tonight at 9.30. but i missed it for watching Football Years on Stv.  Here it is on the Iplayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00q9y89/hd/Rab_C_Nesbitt_Series_9_Heal/

Give it a swatch and post up yer comments people
