“I read the news today, oh boy…”

So here’s the deal: Ali went away to Portugal last week on a family holiday. Usually we take opportunities like this when he’s not around for an extended period of time to play a trick on him, say wrapping random items in his room in clingfilm, general bog-rolling of his room, eating all his food…ok thats lame but you get the picture. Anyway, this time round I wanted us to do something pretty decent, something that would take a while to achieve, something that we could be proud of. Dan and I threw a few ideas around but we didnt settle on anything. Cue last Wednesday - I decided it was time to start something or we’d end up doing a rush job 2 hours before he came home on Saturday. Armed with an armful of newspapers, a large bag of maltesers and a cold six pack of Corona (courtesy of Mike), Dan and I set about covering everything in Ali’s room in newspaper. Grum and Aily shortly followed and we spent the next few hours morphing the room and its possesions into an art piece. Everything got covered or “papered” if you will - chests of drawers, bin, chair, some clothes, wardrobe, radiators, bathmat, shower thing that holds gel + shampoo, toilet seat… the list goes on. Over the course of the next three days we completed the room. Anything that couldnt be covered (plant, guitar stand, dumbells) was moved away into a different room for effect.

Anyway, enough… here’s the short video that Dan put together from all the footage we took along the way. Check it out, and enjoy!

Howdy all! Thanks so much to the people who came to the party, especially all those who gave us some kitchen towel Hats off to Ian who supplied us with some great tunes and entertainment too! Great news was that it wasnt actually too hard to clean up the next day incase you were worrying about me and the lads :p

Wig went around for a bit with my camera, so when I get some time I’ll put something together and I’ll post it.

Here’s a little video Clem took during the strobe rave You can hear Grum begging in the background for “One More Time” along with some random screaming!

I’ve noticed over the past few days that there’s a bunch of photo’s floating around FaceBook from the party. I put a bunch of them in the photos section so check them out!

Wow! Thanks to everyone for coming to our good friday party It was the biggest yet and it was so much fun! There was a really good vibe and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves! My favourite moments were; the giant creme egg, the chocolate fountain misshap, shaking hands with Niall Carol for about 10 minutes and last but by no means least the wave of people bouncing up and down to Micheal Jackson in the sitting room!

Ohh and a guy fell asleep on the stairs with a cardboard box on his lap with his head resting on it! Most origional sleeping position EVER! All in all we all hope you enjoyed the night! It felt a bit like an Andrews reunion too which was great as I havent seem some of the people who came for ages!

The gaff was in a right state the next day! The floor was manky, there was shitloads of cans and bottles everywhere and Wig’s rug turned an ever deeper darker shade of brown!

Major thanks to everyone who helped clean! Especially Paddy and Damo! Damo got some shots of what the place looked like the next day and during Operation Cleanup! Check them out!

Here’s a video of my just out of bed walking downstairs and generally accepting the state of the place…

I got a freebord in January! This is the first proper attempt at using it, was pretty happy with the overall outcome! Here are some low res clips of some short runs!

What the hell is freebording?

Upwards and onwards to bigger hills!
