so it begins
The first post of 2008! Taken a while, but anyhow…
Looks like I have a number for this years Great North Run on the 5th October – amazing what you agree to in drunken conversations! A few friends did the run last year and I agreed to enter into the ballot for a number for this year. While checking my bank account the other day it seems that £40 has been taken from the organisers, a sign that I have a number. Just have to wait for email/mail confirmation!
Anyway, I’m going to attempt to keep a log of what I’m up to to get ready for the run – i.e. uploading details of the training I’m doing and routes run etc. so keep checking back to see how I’m getting on!
)Dublin Invasion
I’m back and fully recovered from my Dublin trip…me and a few mates from the old FHBrown days made the trip over for the weekend. Pics can be found in the gallery section of the site if you are interested. Think I now have a taste for Guiness…I suppose I will have to test to see if it does really taste different in this country – It’d be rude not to really!
me, on the telly!?
Remember this post?
If you can’t be bothered to click through to read, we basically recorded a segment for a new prime time BBC show following the families of the bride and groom working together to arrange a wedding on a budget.
Well the show has now finished its run and we were featured in the last episode on the 2nd August. Before setting off to the pub to watch it with the rest of the band I remembered to set the DVD recorder to immortalise us forever and, after much messing around on my PC, I managed to edit the show down and have uploaded the bits we were featured in. Click on the play button in the player below to view the clip.
Not a bad bit of air time all things considered. We did get a bit worried when watching it live though as we didn’t appear until about 5 minutes from the end!
we have lift off
STS117 launched last night at 00:40. Watched the launch live online and took a few screen grabs:
