Good day my fine friends and blog followers, how are you all this Friday? Hope your all well or as well as you can be. I will keep this update short, a bit like myself. The reason for this being is that our next update is going to be a long one, after all we have 16 days in Calgary, Canada to tell you all about and we have allot planned and booked.
So we shall start off this brief update with the 6 nations. Yes...i will tell you how crap Wales are and how they haven't got a clue and still the WRU 4 hours before kick off on the 3rd game of the 6 nations wanted for the cheapest seat £80 a ticket even though there were around 22,500 seats still unsold, the lowest capacity for any game held at the Principality stadium, what idiots!
This update starts with the second game so the only way to watch the game is in our local with pints and lots of shots, i think it was 12 shots each by the end of the game to numb the boredom, CHEERS!
In between games it was valentines day and Sian got me the best present i've ever had on this day of love. A fresh food box from Devon of pasties and scones with jam and clotted cream. It tasted sooooo gooooood!
Also on valentines day as a pre Canada meal we went to Cardiff's Hickory Smokehouse restaurant.
This was our seat, we had a chefs booth next to kitchen, smelt amazing, mmmmmm!
We started with some iced coffees, one maple syrup and one blueberry.
And now on to the amazing food, we went all out with our order, a platter for 2 which had so much meat it was great, bbq glazed ribs, bourbon glazed chicken wings, jalapeno-cheese sausages x 2, butter smoked chicken breasts x 2, hot honey glazed pork belly, pulled pork with beans, Texas style brisket (we ask for no fries) and a side of onion blossom.
And because we said we liked frickles the staff were amazing and gave us those instead of fries, how good is that.
I think we did quite well, just one sausage and some chicken to take home for a snack.
Rugby at home for the 3rd game and if France score a try it's a coffee tequila shot and if Wales score a try it's a gold tequila shot, we do this for every try.
As you can see we finished off over half a bottle of coffee tequila and did only one gold tequila. At one point we were just doing a coffee shot for France scoring and before we had swallowed that down i was pouring another shot, good time was had by all though, HIC!
A week later it's off to Gloucester to see UK Foo Fighters at the Guildhall and a lovely room with a view of the canal.
Table booked at Brewhouse for the Wales game and a great view of the TV for Wales V Scotland and again another ridiculous collapse by Wales but no shots today as lots of jumping around later after the game at the gig.
And here we go again. Where is everybody?
Ah, that's better, it's a sell out, HOO-RAH! Because it's a ballroom it has a sprung floor which is really weird to be on when everybody is jumping around.
So Sian makes up an excuse of a bad leg and we get shown up to the balcony where we continue to jump around like maniacs and sing as loud as we can until our lungs burn.
Hmm, we are there somewhere in this selfie, my phone is so old and crap but it's ok for me as don't need anything more.
Now then....at this point i am now going to tell you a tail of people who go to gigs and haven't got the faintest clues who they're watching. We went up to the balcony and stood at the very back where there are no seats so we could jump around like loons, everyone else was seated. Then 2 women about our age come up and stand in the row we're stood in, they were fully able and a little drunk. We're in the centre of the row, they at the far end about 20 feet away. As the gig progressed they moved closer, then closer, then closer again until they were 2 feet away from me, what the hell is all that about? Ther's bloody loads of space and you sway over to by us. We ignore them, we made no type of contact at all. Then from the corner of my eye i can see the closest woman mouthing no lyrics whatsoever as she didn't know any and flailing here arms around like Kate Bush...no that's an insult to Kate Bush....i got it....like one of those inflatable tubes with a face on and arms that wave about like a maniac. It was cringe worthy, it made David Brent's dance in The Office look professional. We could see she was glancing over at us but we just ignored her.
It was the worst out of place person at a gig we've ever seen.
And now it's time for Calgary, 16 day vacation including 2 days in Banff, 4 ice hockey games, 1 St Patricks Day, 1 Day on the slopes at Winsport and 4 tattoos - 2 for Sian and 2 for me, lots of Popeyes, lots of Bbq meat and lots of flavoured beers but just look at the temp last week at 10am, they are 7 hours behind us. Brrrrrrrrrrr!!! That's bloody cold!
So until we get back from our beautiful Calgary......
Serve All, Love All, Peace All Kevlar, Mrs. P. & Squidly Out!
