If you’ve been following me on Twitter you will know that I’m going to Whitby to meet up with my son, Shaun and his girl. 1st week in June and I’m super pumped up and can’t wait!
I’ll be taking the lap-top with me (I know…I know… it’s a holiday, right?)
But I want to do a daily ‘postcard’ from Whitby right here on the blog! With pics and everything so you can follow our adventures. And I ALWAYS have adventures whenever I go anywhere!
I read a headline in the paper this morning about how a child born today would be 23 (That’s TWENTY THREE) before the current UK debt will be paid off!!
And that’s being highly optimistic IMO.
Got me thinking… a dangerous thing I know. So, I thought I’d put up a series of Tweets today about what it meant if you were 20 in 1940, 1950, 1960 etc.
So I was goofing around on the web last night and see there’s a new show on Discovery appropriately called “Pitchmen“.
I’m thinking “Doh! Now I’ve seen it all…a reality show about unusually loud infomercial guys!”.
Needless to say it suckered me in as usual and I had to watch the preview clips. Mainly because my wife and I always joke about how deaf he thinks we all are. But hey, whatever. It works and gets your attention, right?
Anyone who has been around me for a while will know I’m a huge Doctor Who fan. Always have been… and we really did watch it from behind the settee (couch) as kids.
When it came back onto our screens a few years back it became THE must see TV show for me and the boys.
I often say ‘I’ve gotta brother that’s mad… but I’m not!’
Well, here’s the proof:-
Yes, that is really is him flying that thing!
It’s called ‘Pie & Peas’ ’cause my brother and his mates camp out on Carlton Bank in the Cleveland Hills (just south of Middlesbrough) to fly those things and they eat… pie and peas…
