CHAMPION DINNER
Took a risk tonight and went for the Branston beans which have been getting completely dingied for about 6 months. There were a few tense moments when I added the Tuna. The sauce went a bit stodgy and Ali made it clear she would leave me if things didn’t improve quickly. A wee drop of water retrieved the situation and I felt pretty confident as I cracked the black pepper over the feast. Turned out my instincts were right along. It was a tasty treat and there was much rejoicing.
I love Glasgow and although I’m not from here I have a lot of civic pride for the place. I get the impression the city was once a much grander place before it fell on hard times. It’s on a steady comeback these days though and this site has the details of just about every major construction project (good and bad) currently planned or underway in the city .
A very interesting site and well worth a visit even if the site layout is a bit dated. I’d love to set revgoomba, Steve and siamondo on it and see what they could do with it.
So thats another 8 miler under the belt. Did the hogganfield loch loop this morning and felt pretty good so stepped it up and threw in a bit of hospital hill action cos it’s nae bother tae me. I had the support team there in the shape of none other than Colin ‘Blackhawk’ Downie (an expert in touching the void style survival against the odds) who was on hand to carry my sweaty top when the going got tough and give me regular feedback on how fuckin cold it wis.
Felt pretty good on the way home and I couldn’t help wondering how impressed Tom Mckean would have been with my immense speed. Mckean was a legend in my book, I remember him having massive thighs and winning loads of stuff when I was wee but having nae luck at the big events like when he was disqualified at the 1988 olympics for being too hard for everyone else. I’ll do it in Paris for Mckean, reckon I’ve got a great chance of finishing in the top 25,000… watch this space.
If you feel the same way about Mckean as me, or if you just want to help out a good cause then pay a visit to me & Ali’s just giving charidee page . Any contributions are most appreciated.
So all this training and everything works up a helluva appetite and it’s an important part of the training to nom as much scran as possible. I like to get stuck in about some honey ribs and standard issue singapore noodles from the legendary asia style. I get in the car, phone in the order, jump on the M8 and 5 minutes later it’s nom time.
Other favourites from this place include the salt & pepper squid and the ginger fish, watch out for some comedy spelling on the engrish menu on the wall and I think there’s also a real chinese menu for like real chinese food and stuff. Sit in or take away. They sell booze but the free Jasmine tea is a winner. Open late. It’s a total treat. Get yourself down there.
Here’s a map for the place so you can get your nom on that wee bit quicker (tried to embed the actual google map but tumblr rips out the iFrame which is fair enough).
Ah pyoor hate the waiy these bams dinnae sing in thur ain accent an that
STATS FAIL
Fail is big and getting bigger. failblog.org is neck and neck with WeeWorld. Looks like the LOL cats are dropping off a bit but still some decent traffic and I think there’s a few more blogs on that group of sites too. Like I said, fairplay. I love daft humour and the web is getting better and better for it as more and more people are able to contribute. Seems like there’s money to be made too. Are there any sites that collect funny email trails?
“Did you partake in the miracle of human flight, you non-contributing zero?” Bravo, sir! And yet, he’s talking about me. :)
Good observational stuff here. The guy has a point. Maybe we’re all a bit spoilt for tech these days.
Looks like FAIL and pictures of cats makes money. Fairplay to this guy, those sites have given me plenty of laughs, expecially the fail stuff. How much of this is down to Paul and Drew I wonder?
statistical proof, as if it were needed, of how totally brilliant that compare the meerkat ad is. Compare the market appears to have more than doubled their site reach off the back of it. SIMPLES!
Just heard this on the Last.FM ambient channel. Forgot how good they were. I remember seeing them play at the Essential festival in Brighton in 1997 from their studio in London over an ISDN line. Seems funny now but at the time it was a big deal, might have been a UK first or something.
Turns out watching a band who aren’t there is a bit mince, but that didn’t matter cos I was mad with it after spending 3 hours in the LTJ Bukem tent. Good times!!!
