It's pretty scary and to be honest i shit myself every time i've been in there for the past hour i've been back from work!
SO Ireland, we left here at like 12 to get to Bristol airport, which isn't that far away, but the last time me and bobby went to pick up the Irish we got stuck in around 2 hours of traffic and as they were still doing the road works where we got caught up we thought we would play it safe and leave at 12 since our flight was at 4:45pm, plus you have to be there like 2 or 3 hours before your flight anyway as you know. So we didn't get stuck in traffic and got there at 1ish, which sucked because then we had to wait til 2:30pm to board, we didn't need to check in because i was the brains on the situation and i checked us in online, which wasn't as successful as i anticipated as my printer sucks and we had to go to the check in to get new boarding passes, either way it was a smooth and easy ride!
After browsing some of the duty free products and taking full advantage of the toilets which the high tech hand dryer we decided that we should go for a pint while we waited for our flight. We went to the local/only bar in the departure lounge which served its flat, horrible beer at an extortionate price that we had to pay! After sinking one or two pints we glanced at the screen to see that our flight was delayed by half an hour, then a further hour, and then a further hour and 40 minutes, so by the time we would bored the plane it would be almost 6:15ish or something like that. So finally we got our boarding call a staggering 1 hour and 30 minutes too late, so we hit the ques and finally got on the plane, after about 1 minutes, raring to go and do some serious Irishing, the captain of the plane let us know that we had a faulty tire, and since saftey was their main proirity that had to change the fuck tire, which took about 30 minutes, but we didn't die, so it was fine!
The flight was real short, by the time we had got up in the air and took off our seat belts there was around 15 minutes before we had to buckle up and head for ground!
Once in Dublin we had to run through their 5000 mile long terminal to go to meet Lally and Kayleigh, because they had booked us a ghost bus around Dublin that left at 830, we landed at 8 and we also had to get a taxi into town, it was a rush, i needed a wee so bad, i didn't help, but we made it! So then went on a two hour long adventure around Dublin on a big purple bus, which a man telling ghoolish ghost stories, it was pretty funny haha, and at every grave yard we stopped at there was a bunch of youths drinking, they gave lots of abuse, but i couldn't understand their lingo! I also took a piss on a church, it was quite a statement, well it wasn't as cool as that, i pissed on the grass next to a church, but still my thunder was stolen when i was told that Lally was sick on a church!!! just take that in for a minute!
After the sweet ghost bus we headed back to Lallys crib and had some sweeeet pizza from Dominos, and we also found that the Dominos we ordered from had the quickest turn around time for pizza in the whole of the UK or something along those lines!
The next day we headed into Dublin to have a browse, plus we had to pick a birthday present for the mike, since he was 21 and we were Ireland, we found him the best presents, i can't say what they are though so he is like the only person who reads this and we haven't given them to him yet! After having a pint while litening to Metallica and Prince, we headed back to Lallys so we could get ready to go out.
Once we were out armed with lots of money because the drinks were so expensive we began to party, it was a good night, funny times, sleezy guys, banging heads on walls, dancing, and banter at Lotties expense, it was a bitching night! Then after all that we went back and passed out!
The next day after Lally had been sick we got ready to go back into town for the day to see various tourist attractions and to go to the pulling teeth show! When we got into town we brought some stuff for our mams and went to visit the famous "spire", it was really just a big spike that they built in the center of Dublin for some reason that i can't remember, we were going to get a picture with it, but it was so big that we couldn't get us and the spike in the same picture! And despite what other said it is the biggest momument in europe! We also saw the post office, it shit all over our little shitty post offices, it was like a castle, it even had bullet holes in the big pilars that stood in front of the post office protecting the post! After a super sized sprite from burger king, which killed me, we went to the show and saw some awesome dudes, i also took a piss with a tall skinny man with lots of purfume asking if i was having a wank, and i have stage fright as it is, its what i imagine taking a piss in hell would be like, but i sucked it up after about 10 minutes and pissed!!
The show was so good and crowd control were fucking sick, they also had tiger beer, but they weren't those crappy 275ml bottles we have here, no, they were 500ml ones, thats like 67ml off a pint, so i drank lots of those, regardless their huge cost!
After all that we went back and watched click and drank the last one or two beers we had left from the Friday, click is a pretty sad film, i think it took us all our might not to cry!
So the next day we got up at 8 and lallys dad kindly took us to the airport, we talked about the spike and Bono, and Ciara's mum who deliveres famous babies!
It was one of the best weekends i've had in a long time and i cant thank lally enough for letting us stay and taking us around and spending the 3 days with us. We meet some super people and i really cannot wait to go back!
So when we got back in wales, it as raining, crap, and it was raining, i hung round at home before going back to Bristol for the SYB and more than life show, which was super good. I also ate so much, i had chips and then realised that the pizza was only £3.50 for a 7" so i had one, and then i was still hungry so i got one for the road. i am a pie!
The next day was Monday, i was ment to be going skateboarding real early with lewis at the new skatepark, but in true welsh style it fucking rained, so hung around the house all day again before going to the kick box riot gig with the lads in the night, that night i also made up a new word to describe Craigs solo in the new song they wrote, "INSHREDABLE" its brilliant, i hope everyone starts using it!
On the tuesday i had to get up for work for the first time in around 5 days, so i got up bright and early and went to dig! The guy who was digging out the garden for us was there digging out the garden.. and then he had a phone call saying that his dad had a heart attack, which sucks and i hope he's alright!
After that there wasn't much for me to do apart from build a nice path to the front door to last a few days, i've built so many good paths recently i must add, and then i went home and made the worlds best vegan pizza!!
That night/last night we went to Hammertime in Cardiff because it was Adam and Aimee's birthday, before we left i was in a real bad mood and my mum was worried so she gave me £20 it was real cool, i should get in more bad moods rather than having a job!
The que was huge and i about to leave when ben rang me and said that we could get 3 que jumps so we did and we got in, woo! it was a pretty sweet night, including £1 drinks, tom downs and good times!
I woke up today, and i was told i didn't have work again, but i do have work in the pub tonight, ah well!!
today i might go for lunch with my nan and my sister, or i might lounge around the house, who knows!!

So i have been to ireland, it was fucking amazing!!
I had a real good time, i drank a lot of beer, it cost me a lot of money, i didn't care!
I also learnt how to say some cool things in irish, and i went on a cool ghost tour, to some churches and grave yards, and i saw a big cool spike and then i saw it again and it was dark, it was super cool!
I have more to say, just not right now!!

so, today i woke up and thought i'd ring to see if i needed to go into work, but i stepped on my own foot because i didn't NEED to go in, but because i rang i had to, doh! and when i got home we went skateboarding again, my legs hurt even more!
I am going to Ireland tomorrow, i really cant wait! i am sure i will be able to post some cool stuff when i get back, probably some photos!
peace

I went to lepub at around 8.30ish with mike to see common cause and kick ass on the pool table, which i did, and made up a new game called dick pool, its pretty much the same as normal pool but insted of using the triangle to set up the balls you just make them into a dick shape, it sounds good doesn't it, but not only does it look super cool and sound super cool but the balls actually break up easier and i always seem to win whenever we play it, which was about twice last night because there was people who wanted to play pool seriously-howl!(and still loose)
After that bucket load of fun, we went to meze/mojos which is pretty much 400% garaunteed going to be shit, so i got a band off my friend so i didn't have to pay the massive fee of £5 to get in, yeah it sounds great doesn't it, but it wasn't so great when i got kicked out/refused entry!
So after i'd see about 600 people from my school, people who i didn't really have anything to say too, we decided to go home, but before that we went to get food, chips were my weapon of choice, but after the bland, boring chip flavour settled in i decided to spice up my life with some chilli sauce, 400% mistake, it was the worlds hottest chilli so sauce, it was so spicy that it couldn't of even been un-spiced by an electric de-spicer! Everyone agreed!
The some poor kid was getting beaten up by some douche, so Sam and big Eric went over to try to help him, but as they ran over to stop the fight a load more of these kids came and they ended up getting hit, i didn't get invovled not only because i am a bad person but i saw the inevitable, and knew i'd probably get punched, and everyone knows that getting punched isn't very nice, unless your some knuckle head who lives for it, which im not!
Talking of fights, bit of a close call on the way home as we walked to get a taxi, we were about to cross the road and a car drove past and someone travelling in the car spat at sam, to which we all pretty much replied "fuck you, you fucking fucker fuck" or some or threatening banter, to which the car full of packed boiz reversed. At this point i was pretty much preparing to punch someone/get punched, as the car pulled back to about our distance, we were seconds away from an ass kicking, but the people in the car we some lads that we knew from school, it was a bit like that scene in braveheart when they charge towards each other and then pause and are like "oh hey", but with more balls, it was a pretty close call if you ask me, i didn't really want to get beat up so i was so glad that we knew who it was! I said to them too "so lads, just going out to kick peoples asses are you?" to which they all looked at me slightly puzzled in realising what they were actually going out to do! i think the right words now would be "whatever floats your boat" or something along those lines!
Looking back it wasn't that good of a night, if you excluding purple rain being played about 10 times, kicking ass at pool and common cause!
Today its monday, bank holiday monday, and i have the worlds worst hangoverso now i just hope it drys up so i can go skateboarding!

Here we go , i just drove home from work in my town of caerleon, listening to the intro on cursed two, which you know is long and dark, classic, but we had a power cut, and it was hammering down with rain, and it was the most evil thing ever to see the town in pitch black, with the only thing bringing shit to life was my headlights, more cursed and powercuts in my life!
it also smells like candles in my house now, and i like the smell of candles!
