has it got to that stage already?

So the weekend approaches and guess what! Im off, yes that’s right folks got sat and sun of in the same week so what do i plan to do with the two days off together? Well i have an invitation to meet the girlfriends family! Gulp! But you know what im kinda looking forward to it, it would only be right for me to give them the chance to check me out, 20 questions and all that but as with most things in life i would like the challenge.
Now this isn’t the only thing i would like to get done this weekend, my car is still eating alternator belts on a weekly basis, i have another set of boxes ready to go round to my mums (i reckon she thinks im slowly moving in) but it would make moving easier for me when the time comes which leads me nicely on to the house and nothing new to report, tick tock but nothing! not that im there that much anyway but the bills still need paying! Soon People Soon!

Lost was 1st brought to my attention before it hit the uk screen's, i will be honest the brief explanation from my reliable source i wasn’t really taken with the idea of some people sat on a island somewhere but after watching all 24 episodes in as many hours i have been a keen follower ever since. The 'extra' stuff associated with the show from web pages and voice mail really adds something else to the whole experience, the new season starts on the 4th October .

Studio 60 is a new show recommended by Cinemec-tv (the one stop shop for all tv info) and i managed to watch the first 2 episodes last night and i liked it, not the normal show i would tend to watch but good non the less

Battlestar Galactica Well what can i say, the cilons are back and now some of them look cute! im sure there are web site's out there for having sex with machines but anyway this new take on the old tv show looks and feels fantastic, i really like the way the space shots are taken and im looking forward to the new season which starts on the 6th October..

My name is Earl Is now back on our screen! Well if you live in the states or happen to know how to use Bit torrent (i don’t condone the use of illegal bit torrents or break of copy right) and if last season is anything to go off this one should be good, watching the show an slowly make you believe in the concept of karma or maybe that’s my impressionable mind.

Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis. Stargate SG1 is now on season 10 which will bring it to the last of its run and Atlantis is a baby in comparison and running season 3 but has the go a head for the next season, i know some people find these show kinda a tacky but ive been a follower for some time now and enjoy them all.!

enjoy X

The legend thats the cast party!

So after working to the uci/filmworks/odeon/printworks or what ever you want to call it there have been many cast parties, some good some bad some amazing but without failure there has always been someone there with a camera. Now i love digital cameras to the disgustof some of my work friends but with digital you can snap away with out the constant though of you only have some many photo's to take, with digital you take them then you decided if you want to keep them later.

I wanted to make these photo's available to everyone not just the people who took them so with a little work I managed to put them online for everyone to see, so we have the new one's for every new cast party then when another new party comes along the last lot get put in a big folder with every other photo ever taken.

I would like to have a look at the latest cast party photo's

I would like to have a look at the old cast photo's

All I now need is a easier way to remove red eye from all of them in one go as doing each one a time seams to take forever!

the latest update!

Hallo there strangers!

So what’s being going on? Well After staying n Manchester for the last few days drinking and having fun and lets not forget the ease of getting a full English breakfast at any time of day I had a night of drinking at the frog and bucket planned for Monday night but I got a phone call from work Monday afternoon from work meaning I need it be in work for 6am Tuesday morning for the bulb change in the Imax due to the left eye planning up again, you can tell this wouldn’t be the first time this eye has played up. Now when I say changing bulbs I don’t mean I simple screw cap but 15,000W X2 Imax bulbs at £3200 each and normally we would allow about 6 hours to change both bulbs so to have it done in just over 2 hours was good work but thanks to
some wonderful team work only had to work till 5 instead of 10! Good job as by 10pm I was fast a sleep in bed as I was shattered. So I didn’t end up staying up all night drinking on Monday night but I still managed to have some fun and a few drinks. One thing I have started to really like about staying in Manchester and please don’t think this is the best or only thing that’s good it’s the fact instead of taking about 1 hours to get to work it took me 16 mins! Wow, 16 mins!

Now to make my day better I pottered to a local greasy spoon where I think the cook looks like some one famous, I managed to take a sneaky photo for you to decide.

Is it just me?

Nothing like a early moring bulb change!

Some photo's from the live band night from last week.

Nothing like catching someone 'resting there eyes' at work

long time no see

So you are probably wondering why you haven’t heard from me for a while well I have been in Manchester for the last few days livein what I would describe as living life to the full extent it can be, now I wont bore you with the full details of the my time in Manchester but I thought I would give you a blast of the high lights!

I parked my lovely car in the pleasant place of fallowfied on last Saturday only to come back on last Sunday to find both number plates had been stolen! Who steals number plates? Now with the recent change in the law I could not just go and buy some new ones, I have to have the car document and driving license to get new plates even though my car is sat out side with the obvious fact there are no plates on the dam thing, so on my way home the mighty Blackburn Rovers were at home playing the crappy Man City (4-2 by the way!) which also meant every single copper was between me and my house, now I car driving with out number plates tends to stick out like a sore thumb but did I get stopped? Nope! Now this is fine for me as spending 30mins or so explaining what had happened would have fit well in my time scale, so while I was fitting my new shiny number plates I noticed that the last 3 letters (UFB) of my reg could only have been put there for the sole purpose of that very day as on my knees fitting the tings it dawned on me it could stand for Un Fucking Believable! So new plates and back to Manchester!

Last Monday beckoned the latest instalment of the cast party and I had loads of fun! The DJ should have been taken out side and shot but every now and then she redeemed her self before slipping back in to the upsettingly poor music selection, even with this setting the night back the evening got better and better and then moved on to a different scale of fun, then after the good came the bad in the form of work so after getting 4hours sleep I was back up and working for what was to be a long day but after such a good time the night before there was nothing that would make me feel bad!

So only a few days home and then back to Manchester for a live mic night Thursday just gone to watch some ok artists and some good one’s. to prep for the day I drank! In the Sun no less with the ‘students’ even went to the fresher fair as they have some amazing posters which will be mine once I have some money and then to continue my live music theme for the week I want to another even down at the Joshua something something, another fantastic night although it was LOUD, to the point when I got out all I could hear was white noise and that was with the ear plugs Cinemec gave me (thx dude) So after what I would say was Enough to drink and another late night I hade to be back up and over the Cheshire for Bourons Birthday Quad Biking thing, So I'm hung over, Late, Still in my going out cloths and now firing round the wilderness on a quad bike, I could not stop smiling even when getting sprayed in cow shit! Did a bit of slow tracking but think the bloke liked us as we got to really give it some welly and had some moments where I tried to remember if I had paid my life insurance but all well worth it.

House Update! Did you think I had sold it? If only! The have to ring and book in the surveyors tomorrow which is the next big step so 1^st thing and I'm on the phone, I will move hell and high water to get them to my house ASAP but we will see!

As for the blog I'm trying to make some small changes, well I'm always trying to make it look and load better so hang on tight oz it may be a bumpy ride!
