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

There was an interesting show on bbc1 last night called The Buckfast Code.  An investigative reporter Kenneth MacDonald set out to uncover the link between Buckfast wine and criminal behaviour.

He interviewed a strathclyde policeman, 4 young offenders from Polmont Prison, an independant expert on violent crime, a neuro-scientist, a labour justice spokesman, a young man slashed by a broken buckfast bottle, a weapons expert, a bishop and Jim Wilson from Chandler and Co who distribute Buckfast in Scotland.

Ive mentioned Buckfast on my blog before http://www.wayupnorth.tv/2009/11/27/whats-different-about-buckfast/  a couple of months ago some of us aired our views and on that occasion i sat on the fence, but after listening to Jim Wilson ive came to a different point of view. 

Ive edited the show to fit into 1 youtube video, it’s mainly Jim Wilson quotes, the one that annoyed me most relates to why they don’t sell Buckfast in a plastic bottle to reduce the number of young folk who get slashed.  Wilson replies, the cost of doing that is horrendous.   

Its not as horrendous as 30 stitches in the face, pal.  Im not out to ban buckie. Ive drank it myself, but i bet if you halved the caffiene you would half the crime rates.  If you changed from a glass bottle to a plastic bottle you would half them again.

Im up for taking them on.  Jim Wilson, Harry Monk and co, and anyone else who is behind the scenes making a fortune. 

Any ideas how to go about it?  And what are you’re thoughts after seeing the video?

my t in the park and black eyed peas mash up got its 1500th view today. its my best video and i think its one of the best campsite videos from any uk festival.

im hoping to go back to T in the Park and also try a couple of new festivals like The Wickerman and Rockness if i can get the cash together.

here it is

I spotted her last night on Countryfile and nearly fell off the couch.  She’s possibly the best looking lassie on tv, or at least number 2 to the countdown lassie Rachel Riley. 

Im suprised ive never seen her before, she’s also presented Watchdog, Rough Guide and Kill it Cook it Eat it.   

What do you think, Rachel Riley or Julia Bradbury?

Check out the sledging Policeman making national news today.

They been publicly repremanded by their superintendant, but i think they’ve pulled off a good bit of PR for Police all over the country.  Personally i think they were under the influence….. of Hot Fuzz.

Im just home from fitba training, first exercise ive done in easily four weeks. Ive been feeling miserable lately, and i thought it must be the cold weather, but now i realise its lack of exercise and activity. Im exhausted but feel good at the same time and il sleep well tonight.

I was never that good at fitba, always a defender in my youth because i was big and chubby, then in my late teen’s i shed the puppy fat and one of my managers played me up front. I loved it! I still class myself as a striker but im way too fat now and i rarely play.  Im just glad that i never had any big injuries and only go to training for fun. 

If anyone is feeling the winter blues, get down to the gym or try and get out for a jog now that the ice has melted.  I promise you’ll feel great afterwards!
