T in the Park 96

View the photos

Finally got back on t'internet after making an arse of trying to hook up my new iMac G5 to my wireless modem. It's all working now and I can say that after all the years of slagging Liam for having one, I have been converted.

Now that I am back on line, I have uploaded Graham's photos from the last T in the Park at Strathy Park in Hamilton (1996). Back in the days when Ali, Malky and I still had hair.

Inverted Brainfish

I was out with Paul and Graeme from college yesterday. A few Budvars in Mono and then a couple of Erdingers in Beer Cafe followed by a pint of Sheepshagger in Blackfriars. Anyway, here's a link to Paul's blog (no, I have no idea what an 'inverted brainfish' is either, but that's Paul for you).

Budapest - Jul 02

Photos from when I was in Budapest with Peely and Alex back in July 2002. Loved the place which kicked off my interest in visiting more of Eastern Europe.

Statue Park (Szobor Park)


Heroes Square


Still have the fear though, thinking back to the big man swimming across the Danube whilst full of the local hooch, Unicum. Probably called that as it's the noise you make when you drink it. It's minging.

West Highland Way - Aug 02

They said we'd never make it but we did. Photos of the West Highland Way back in August 02. Looking back three years it seems enjoyable, but at the time I don't think it was as much fun as I now seem to remember it. Getting drunk and walking with a hangover every day probably didn't help.


Graham, me, Peely and Malky and the end of the West Highland Way in Fort William.

Hangover

Was out last night for Jackie's leaving doo and I seem to have a worse hangover than I had all holiday in Krakow. Not sure what that's all about, must have been a dodgey pint. No Zywiec on draft unfortunately.

Poland - Dec 05

View the photos

Just got back from Poland yesterday. There were 8 of us that went over to Krakow for 5 nights..Andy, Alex, Graham, Flash, Me, Gordon, Stewart and Malky. Had a great time though I am suffering now. Full of the cold and too much vodka. On the plus side, we all made it safely home and managed to avoid any run ins with the local polis.



Krakow was a lovely place and we managed to get out and about and see the sights in between drinking around the Old Town and in Kazimierz (Jewish Quarter).



We also visited Auschwitz and Auschwitz-Birkenau which was an upsetting and moving experience that I will never forget.
