I fucking love it!  I think its the best u.s. comedy show ever. 

I was talking to someone the other day who’d never even heard of it!  The first series came out 10 years ago and half of Scotland still seems oblivious to it’s existance.  It’s always on ridiculously late at night and it isnt even on one of the main five channels. Surely that can’t be right?  I think its the use of the word cunt that gets it a bad rep.

Cunt is the last great taboo in this country. You can show mass murder and rape, but you can’t say cunt. Its a cunt of a situation.

Anyway if you’ve never seen Curb your Enthusiasm you’re missing out. You can rent the box sets from Blockbuster for a fiver or its on more4 tomorow night at 12.50am.

have a safe auld firm day everycunt! my prediction is a 3-3 draw.

I got my T in the Park ticket this morning! Logged into ticket master at 8.45 and the thing went live at 8.58.  First time ive done this under pressure.  Theres a clock ticking and if you don’t get your details right, it fucks you off to the back of the queue!  I hadn’t had a coffee and kept fucking it up, eventually getting it right with a few seconds to spare.

The line up is class this year, although i would’ve went anyway even if it wasn’t. Last years line up was shite and i still had a ball. 

The main worry i have is the presence of Eminem. His last two appearances in Scotland were chaotic, at Gig in the Green in 2001 45 folk needed medical help after being crushed in the crowd. His return at Hampden in 2003 wasn’t much better, i know beacause i was there.  I stood for 3 hours like a non free range hen, only for fannybaws to come on stage in a huff, seemingly unimpressed with the Scottish crowd. No wonder. Everycunts lungs were squashed inside out.  Afterwards there were battles galore, no doubt everyone was raging at wasting a small fortune. And thats my concern! Will there be a bad crowd at T in the Park this year?

Im not doing the 5 day marathon this time. Last year it was too long, il aim to arrive friday afternoon and leave sunday night.  Im starting to feel excited allready and it will spur me on in my quest to lose weight, which hasn’t gone to plan…again.

Is anyone on here going? And if so who would you like to see? My favourite band this year are The Prodigy.

The Blog will be back within a week folks!  There will be sketches, controversial rants, tv reviews, music, sport, general madness, a ten second buckfast down and maybe even some home made pornography!   

Stay tuned troops !

Its the end of the wayupnorth blog for now. I will be back at some point in the future, but just now i simply don’t have the time.  Thanks to all the folk who regularly tuned in and commented i will continue to follow you when i can.

thanks

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!
