The something that isn'tcrap thread...

So, we'rewell into 2009, so lets have some of your cool stuff in 2009 posts. Maybe it's already happened,maybe it's due to happen, or maybe you have a feeling it's gonna happen,either way,let's celebrate some good shit that's happening in 2009.

Let's keep it nice people.

For me by the way, started off with afantastic new job, great opportunities with the magic,lots of work coming in, and this is definitely the year I find my future wife. God help her.

Im going to random citys for very little reason to explore
no idea why just seems fun

its a great thing that Mithy, done that loads, i'm a boring old fart who appreciates cool architecture, strolls and discovering new places.

mines similar, really want to take me wife and kid to my families birthplace in Crete, show them the sites of Athens and eat plenty of souvlaki this summer

and obviously continue my music, considering piano lessons

Im going to Edinburger (sorry injoke) around Wales abit and im trying to pursuade Boris to show me her Jugs ................ What with Stoke being famous for pottery n'all, then who knows

A good start chaps. Anyone else?

best thing is that we're now on the run up to summer! come on! a few months and it'll start to be t shirt weather again, I'm determined its not going to be another wash out this year, though I don't know if my determination actually has anything to do with influencing the weather.



MMMMMMM!

Well I've been approved for my New Zealand Visa, hahahaha they don't suspect a thing?

Would liek to visit Oxford before we go, also with leaving the band will mean extra time on my hands to do it.

So that's why you're leaving The Way. Did wonder.

That's a good fayre on that BBQ too. Mind,I would've put all the burgers together,would've made them easier and quicker to turn, plus if they're all ready at the same time,noone who wants one has to wait. Still, there's no right or wrong, I suppose

How do the Fins feel about being awash with all the world's poofs?



Anyway... Mithy - it's a really great thing to do mate. Everyone bangs on about seeing the world and going to all these exotic, 'cultural' destinations so they can get pissed, cop off and puke a lot and then come back and bore us all with "Oh, I really got to see some REAL culture" (poor, hungry people living in squalour). But there's so much really cool stuff to see and do in your own back yard.

I went walkabout for 3 years and visited some amazing places and met some amazing people. I remember spending a summer in Tewkesbury - spending lazy evenings with friends I'd made at the Riverside Hotel, drinking copious amounts of tequila with our feet dangling in the river - taking rowing boats loaded with beer up river to a little grassy cove where we played on rope swings and got pissed before floating back downstream while we shagged in the boats.

I also remember skinny dipping in the pools on Plymouth Hoe in November! And spending a week sleeping in a silage bag on the top of Malvern Hills. Brilliant stuff!

Having no reason at all to do it mate is the best reason in the world for doing it. Do it before life really gets its claws into you - and enjoy.
