Hahahahahaha

Guess where I'm going!
Da FA Cup final bro! Yay for work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

stuff about the London Underground that you never knew.

Im getting flack right now for adding this to my blog, but I don't care it think its interesting/funny....


1. There is only one tube station name which does not have any letters of the word 'mackerel' in it- St Johns Wood
2. There are only two tube stations which have all five vowels in them- Mansion House and South Ealing (which is my stop yayayayayay we are cool!!)
3. Northfield station (one down from us yayayayayayayay!) on the Piccadilly Line was the first to use kestrels and hawks to kill pigeons and stip them setting up homes in stations
4. Out of the 287 tube stations, only 29 are south of the river Thames
5. Angel has Western Europes longest escalator- 318 steps
6. The air in the underground 10 degrees hotter than the air on the surface
7. Green grapes cause more accidents on the London Underground than banana skins
8. Only one person was ever born in a tube carriage and her name was Thelma Ursula Beatrice Eleanor in 1924 at Elephant and Castle
9. Cadbury's Whole Nut chocolate bar is the biggest seller in the chocolate machines at the tube stations.


So there you go....

Something for the weekend...

Its too nice and sunny hence why I can't be arsed posting- lovely and sunny and warm April is all good- Im just waiting for the weather to pack in to be honest!

Ah well this weekend I'm determined to have a go at making a vege patch so watch this space for some before and after pics! Cha hoo!

No other plans other than watching Man U vs Middlesbrough hehehehehe!

football lookalikes

I reckon that Portugal and Chelsea defender Ricardo Carvahlo:

looks like Duece Bigalo (Rob Schneider):

Da rest of Iceland

So da rest of Iceland....

Sunday: Day Two:
Sleep in bum around for the morning (and my flaming luggage still hasn't arrived) and just after lunch we head to the famous blue lagoon therefore I have to hire out togs.... ew ew ew! But anyways the blue lagoon was so lovely, just so nice to swim (I haven't been for a swim in two years!) and we stayed in there for far far too long, because by the end of it all and we got back we were all shattered and went to bed pretty early (but then there wasn't anything open anyway because it was Easter Sunday!) My luggage had arrived by the time we got back anyway so I was rather happy by the end of the day- mmmmmm clean clothes!

Monday: Day Three:
Up at the crack of dawn to get picked up for our day long excursion to the Gullfoss waterfall, Geysir and Pinveillier National park. That was really cool and very NZ like with lots of mountains, lava fields and random geyers errupting. Get back and go for a few drinkies cha hoo! Just love those £5 pints.....

Tuesday: Day Four:
Had booked a Whale watching tour for the morning, therefore up at the crack of dawn again, but we head down to the harbour to find out that the morning session had been cancelled because of bad weather... so we go for a wander and go up this big massive church thingy and get some wicked views of Reykjavik and discover that most shops aren't open until 10am so there was nothing much to do except wander. There had been a bit of snow that had fallen last night, so Tim and I still being excited by snow try to make snowballs and have a bit of a slide on the ice on the concrete...

Anyway by the time Midday swings around we head back down and the afternoon session is going ahead so we check out the whale watching centre bit and board the boat, all kind of like 'yeah its not going to be cold' and 'nah im not going to feel sea sick'..... hmmmm bit wrong there because we ended up on the choppiest seas I've ever been on (good old north atlantic) and it ends up snowing, so Im the coldest I have ever ever been (even the hardy Canadian, Ian said it was cold just to prove it!!!). So we are on a boat in the north atlantic in a snow storm. Nice one! It was cool though and I managed to score a sea sick tablet and a massive pair of thermal overalls so it wasn't too bad.. my feet were just really numb afterwards. We ended up seeing two Minke whales and one white beaked (or was it nosed) dolphin so that was alright in the end....

Afterwards we headed down to watch the Champions league and spent our last night in Iceland drinking again... happy times all around.

Wednesday: Up at 7am and back on the bus to the airport... Bye bye cold Iceland... hello nice warm london cha hoo!


Other funny moments in Iceland include:

• Hot dogs- Icelanders are obsessed with Hot dogs, but I can see why because they were damn good!
• Pronto grande- funny term from Trip to Barcelona and was also the name of a pizza that we got one night.. bit of a personal joke there...
• Bjork- plenty of taking the mick there.... a funny drunk tim likened Bjorks singing to a stretch rat which was very funny at the time.
• Egg farts- which is how Ian described Geysir, which was funny because I hadn't heard anyone say that word in ages, plus he hasn't ever been to Rotorua too hehehehehe...
• Rain- it never really rained when we wanted it to! Pissed down a fair bit, but we wanted it to rain whilst we were at the blue lagoon and it never did. But then did on the way home.. how typical!

I was also inept at opening the door of our room, but you really had to be there to appreciate how funny that was.

Bit rambly but that was Iceland in a nutshell..

Next trip: Newquay for Bank holiday in May cha hoo! So can't wait for some beach action!

Day one in iceland

Man I just couldn't sleep last night and was up at a brisk 5am this morning oooooer! Hopefully I'll get back to sleep at some point...

Anyway my long awaited trip to Iceland was great and here's the lowdown of it all...

Saturday: Day One:
So on a dark and mild Saturday at 5am, myself, Tim and Ian pile into Richies car and he (very kindly so) drives us to Gatwick in time for our 7.30 flight to Keflavik, the main international airport to get us to Reykjavik. So far so good.
I stupidly go to get some cash out, press a wrong button and end up being 50p into overdraft... stress stress as the bloody banks here charge mega fees on overdraft but luckily Rich was on hand to save the day and put £5 into my account for me that morning.
We get on the plane where we find out theres a bit of a delay to our flight, due to some luggage going to the wrong plane (at this point Ian jokes that our luggage has gone to Cincannti which was another flight around the same time) and I do worry slightly, as I had to put mine through as oversized luggage as my pack has lots of straps.

We fly there, had a pleasant brekkie on the plane and arrive at Keflavik and discover that its possible one of the most bling airports we'd been too (I assume due to the low volume of travellers....) and we make our duty-free alcohol purchases and head over to baggage reclaim. The bags were out promptly enough... Tim and Ian grab theirs, meanwhile I wait...... I wait...... I head over to the oversized luggage area.... I wait ..... I wait....... and finally come to the conclusion that my luggage hasn't arrived and head to customer services where this is confirmed and I fill in the details and am told it will be delivered to the Guesthouse we were staying at by the next morning. Poos!

By the time all that palava was over we discover that we had missed the flybus into Reykjavik, the next one wasn't for another 3 hours, and that it was cold and pissing it down with rain. The only option at this point was to shell out for an expensive cab (8000ISK or £60), check into the Guesthouse go get some food in the rain and drink.... as I didn't have a raincoat or anything and it was too miserable to go and explore the city. Nevermind because we were able to have a good peruse of the tourist information flyers and decided we wanted to go Whale Watching, found a pub that would most likely be showing the Champions League games and Ian and I had a hilarious drunk argument over who the original chick in the Smashing Pumpkins was. That was about it really, we took advantage of a break in the weather and checked out the harbour and surrounding area, but it was all just too bleak, and I passed out around 11pm and the lads headed into town for a few hours......

Can't really be arsed writing anything else for the time being... more updates soon!

Post holiday blues

My trip to Iceland was awesome, I'm just having some post holidays blues.... hopefully the nice warm weather back in london and the sunshine will cheer me up.... I'll write about it soon- I've updated my photos on flickr if ya'll wanna looksy!
