Hey world !

Currently Listening to : That's what you get - Paramore

Well I haven't blogged in a good bit since the wedding and all that!

Things have been good tbh just getting on with Uni and stuff hence the lack of blogging activity.

However, I am gonna change things today with a look at a certain issue which has pissed me off recently. Two words: Wayne Rooney

Okay he hasn't had the best start to the season and has done the dirty on his wife and little kid. But why make matters worse for yourself by telling the world you want to leave Manchester United?


Football is full of overpaid players these days....

Yes maybe he wanted a new challenge etc but the amount of money that seemed to be involved in a potential move to the likes of rivals Manchester City (£300,000 a week in one paper) is beyond a joke. No one, not even Wayne Rooney, is worth that amount in the world. Football has turned into a total farce, just look at how much Cristiano Ronaldo went to Real Madrid and his sizeable wage package!

I was ready to accept that Manchester United were gonna let go of their biggest asset and become a 4th or 5th force in english football, I even sold him when I started playing Fifa 11 to Real Madrid!

The the total U-turn in decision today, he signed a new 5 year deal with the Manchester club, not the blue side. He has let me and many of Man Utds fans down with the events of the last week. It is now up to him to make it up by regaining the form of last year and previous years.

A disappointing start for the red devils....only way is up!

Thats all for today, was very brief and just a stop gap between Uni work for me.

Ciao for now !

Little less conversation...little more action please !

Hey worrld!

Well...what a weekend !

It was of course the wedding of the year for all those people associated with the Shaws and Fergusons. The marriage of my lovely sister Nicola to Ross Ferguson.

Started early morning on the 9th October where the Shaw household was full of girls getting their hair and make up done....i just sat casually in my room and got ready in 30 mins in my dashing kilt :)

So my duties as an usher were very strenuous but i managed them okay...i think :) The wedding ceremony was lovely with emotions running high and happiness rife. Once the minister pronounced the couple were happily married the cheers bellowed throughout the museum where the service took place!

After all the pictures were taken and everyone wished the newlyweds their congrats Nicola and Ross Ferguson (still weird saying it!) hopped in the A-Team van, yes they had the A-team van, and we took our respective transports and headed to the Popinjay Hotel where the partying could begin.

The speeches were made by the father of the bride, the groom and the best man and we tucked into our dinner. Then the serious drinking began with the wedding reception starting.

The band were The Real Delmonte and they were superb, they added a real rock feel to each song and played songs that i did not expect to hear at a wedding. They played green day and feeder ! :):)

The wedding would not have been nicola's without a few suprises. Firstly a group of girls and nicola performed a well choreographed dance routine to Elvis' A little less conversation for the new groom and it was soo good.This was followed by Nicola and Ross singing I got You Babe by Sonny and Cher then Ross singing with his band Rio Calahan Rule the World by Take That. The reception was one big party and lets say i was very very drunk!

Well thats it all over now, one more thing to say now...

CONGRATULATIONS NICOLA AND ROSS FERGUSON !!!!!! <3<3>

We are young, we drink and we fight (8)

Good evening ! :D

Captain's Log 4th October 2010

Listening to: We are Young - 3OH!3

Wow so it is now October already !

Its a week or so since my last post so time to update y'all. This time last week i was in the Garage in Glasgow seeing the mighty 3OH!3 for the second time.

The support was a DJ band called L'Amour La Morgue with Ian Watkins (famous for being the lead man for Lostprophets) at the helm. They really got the crowd going with their own versions of songs like Sabtage by the Beastie Boys and Riverside. The the main event...the boys from Colorado blasted through a set littered with hits and album songs. Particular highlight was hearing House Party and them starting their very own "here we here we here we fucking go!" when the crowd started chanting it.

After the highs of Monday it was back to the grind on Tuesday with a return to University. It was good settling back in and seeing faces I hadn't seen since the end of April! HOLY CRAP AM A SECOND YEAR NOW!

Yeah it hasn't really sunk in yet that am not the bottom of the pile anymore!

So catching up with different folks i ended up going out for two lunches. One at the Ark Cafe and the other at Ketchup. The latter being the best damned burger i have tasted....ever !

So moving on to the weekend...well friday to be exact...i went to the West Bar's very own Oktoberfest where i sampled their german beer and listened to german traditional music :) It was all in all a good night with a lovely meal :)

Finally i bring you up to the present where i began working in Edinburgh again for Scotland Gas Networks one day a week and handed in my notice at KFC.

So an eventful week! Also congrats to the European Team on regaining the Ryder Cup in golf! Monty's boys did us proud !

Until next time...Ciao world !
