The Il Divo concert in Sheffield Halam arena and it was alot better than i thought it would be although i wasn't totally dreading the concert and i am a bit of a cultural vulture some of the time it its not the regular sounds i usually up load on to my I-pod .but i do have to admit the lads can sing and i would go to see them again live but not until five years have passed and they have new material out .
price wise a 400ml can of cider was £3.20 which was acceptable programs went for a tenner again i thought was a fair price but album cd's was £16.99 no where near the cost of what you could pick one up in Virgin or Hmv for and a bag of chocolate eclairs was £2.50 parking was a fiver all in all it was good value and was a enjoyable night said to the wife could we go see the RHCP she didn't know what the fcuk i wa son about they sat opposites attract i don't think so

Had new roman blinds fitted to the conservatory Friday the wife said the blind man is here when there was a knock on the door i said has he brought his dog went straight over her head hehe also had two black out blinds made for the kitchen windows both was measured wrongly perhaps he is partially blind and cant read a tape measure and they will have to be altered still will all look well when its all completed.

going to see Il Divo tomorrow night at Sheffield hope its going to be an enjoyable experience and that not everyone wants them to sing in Latin all of the the time 50 - 50 i could handle perhaps.

I have been playing on Rouge Trooper on the ps2 bought 2nd hand from Cnex and what a wicked game loving it although it is quite difficult if you try and kill everything that moves and don't think of the correct game plan it is a bit of a nightmare you can also use of a hologram to dispatch to different areas ahead of you which is a fallen comrade and he takes the bullets for you and distract the enemy from killing you brilliant.

Had a done meat pizza last night from Sorrento's at Crossgates and also found out that the local Tesco is NOW selling Magners the 750ml bottles to cap it of got undisputed 2 out o dvd

My son as been on the ps2 all weekend and i haven't had a look in bought rouge trooper for myself and resident evil 4 might get a go on it this week fingers crossed got to admit res 4 looks a fine good game ideal for chillin out with and blasting the living daylights out of the walking dead would be a good stress relieving method if only i could get near the bloody console.

Went back to the dental school at the L.G.I last week things are improving and might end up not loosing as many teeth as first thought so fingers crossed all the pain and suffering might be worth it in the long run.two off the teeth are now solid and without movement one of the others i might loose due to the fact that i have had it root filled twice and if that's the case i will need a denture making before it comes out which it will do .

sick off all this rain although did get a bit of sun late this afternoon but drinking Magners when its raining ain't the same might need to put some more Hed Kandi albums on to the i-pod to kick start summer get things warming up might need a flight out to somewhere nice and hot need some heat hope the kids wont miss us too much hehe.

Bought resident evil 4 for the ps2 for my son yesterday but when i got home i found my daughter had wrapped her ps2 up and listed it on eBay oops , i would have bought it off her or put a bid in its only had a few hours use and was bought only last Christmas pity its the limited pink edition console there is no way i can have a pink ps2 my wife doesn't see the logic in selling one only to buy another ps2 the only difference it being black but i can so tonight on the way home i called into Game and bought a black or charcoal coloured ps2 playstation got Spiderman 3 the game and a memory card all in for £114 my son is on it now killing zombies,its mucked up my chance of getting a x-box 360 for the time being will get one eventually no doubt .

i did go back to work today the wife kept finding me stuff to do around the house and garden , at least at work can i can escape work if i so wish, always places to nip out to like Costco , Starbucks or McDonald's .

Took my son out on his trails bike and he got his first puncture in his front tyre i took it of at home threw it in the car and went to get fixed at Wosters on York Road whilst i was there i asked the mechanic to sell me some Goop and could he put it in for me Goop is a green based compound with rubber particles floating in its mass once a puncture occurs when the air rushes out the particles rush in to resell the tube this can also stop blow outs and further accidents so if it happened again it would in theory resell itself carry on riding no problems i also bought another bottle to do the back wheel as they say prevention being better than cure the mechanic took the wheel round the back and ten minutes later reappeared with the wheel all done and dusted

when i got home i fixed the wheel back onto the front forks and got to work on the rear tyre with the extra bottle of Goop i bought i did not know by reading the instructions what decoring the valve as there was no mention of how to do it on the bottle, but after going online i do now, all the instructions on the bottle said after deflating the tyre's inner tube with the tool provided pull out tube on top of bottle fully and insert over end of valve then gentle squeeze until required amount off Goop is place inside the tube reinflate tyre to correct pressure blah blah blah after 2 hours of trying to get the sealant into the tyre and it ending up on the floor over me over the tyre but none actually inside the tyre i knew i was doing something wrong , a Ferrari mechanic for the f1 racing team i ain't and never will be but persistence paid of and once i took the inside of the value out by turning it anti clockwise to screw it out the Goop went in basically in 30 seconds time will till if it does exactly what it says on the can watch this space my son took out his bike again and so far so good .
