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

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 !

Well i have made it back from Aberdeen in one piece!

Had an absolutely fantastic time up there.

It all started 2 days ago on a Friday morning with a trip into town then a few drinks in a pub at Queen Street Station...the difference was our attire. We were dressed up as sporting legends. The looks we got were priceless! I went with John McEnroe because of my curly hair but we also had Bjorn Borg, Eddie the Eagle, Nigel Mansell, Ian Botham and many more. Of course the drink filled train journey wasn't completed with the stag being dressed up as an 80s women swimmer in swimsuit and wig! Fantastic !

So once we got our bearings around the town we got ourselves ready to go out. Of course we had a few drinks and then we headed to the Gentleman's Club...which was indeed an experience !

The night was completed with a trip to Tiger Tiger where we realised that it was Aberdeen University's freshers week. School Themed. We stuck out like a sore thumb and the club itself wasn't the best. The Hamilton Palace was better !

Day 2 and once our hangovers susided we went quad biking and go karting. The banter was brilliant as we battled out to be the best at go karting. Also the quad biking was muddy but a great amount of fun!

Then the final night out came along and we dressed in our fancy dress and headed for a chinese buffet then a mini pub crawl. Ross was getting the attention from being in the swimsuit and the booze was in full flow. The dancing came about and everyone was loving it ! A great night indeed!

So leaving day came along, and the great unwashed of ibroxtown rolled into our hotel for a few pints before the game in Aberdeen, Bringing their anti-IRA chants and sectarian drivel. I was glad i got out of that place before it ended up like Manchester.

So all in all a very successful weekend full of plenty of banter, babes and of course plenty of booze!

In the next couple of days i am returning to university so in the next couple of days i will update you :)

Cheers :):)

Stag Do

Heyy world !

Well it has been a while since i last posted on this !

Well tonight i am preparing myself for a massive weekend in Aberdeen. My future brother in law's stag do :)

No doubt it will be full of interesting happenings, including the fancy dress part ! I am dressing up as John McEnroe which obviously is pretty relevant considering i have curly hair!

However, i am going to look into the main reason of this event going ahead. The wedding between my sister and her lovely boyfriend Ross Ferguson.

Heres the sentimental part...

It has been nearly 8 years now that they have been together and well that takes me back into the days when i had short hair and listened to rave music...changed days :)

Ross has always been perfect for our Nicola. Hes kind, loving and a real good laugh. Very good singer and always the centre of a party when he "whaps" out his guitar and sings hits such as Take It Easy and Sweet Home Alabama. He has basically been like a brother from another mother (haha) but very soon he will be part of our family in legal terms.

So thats the soppy pish over with and i will head to bed soon before the stag do antics and heavy drinking begins :)

See you in a couple of days !

kings and queens of promise

Heyyy guys :)

Well its been a few days since i last made an entry so here goes

Last few days have been spent at uni going to lectures and tutorials the usual.

However, in my last post i spoke about how i missed the train because buses were late...well yesterday...in the havoc of all the snow...the bus...was yes ON TIME! Someone tell me how that works.

I have now realised i have really lazy people in a group for a uni subject who do absolutely fuck all (excuse my language) work and believe that he really needs to kick them up the arse !

thats the rant part over. Now the good times :) I found a really awesome vid about two camels in a tiny car on youtube (Ray William Johnson look him up!) that made me laugh out loud ! I also moved some furniture today for my sisters because they were getting some new stuff and went for a wee driving lesson which went pretty well :).

I managed to dodge Jehovah's Witnesses on monday which i forgot to put in my blog then by hiding in my own bloody house, i felt like i was hiding from aliens or godzilla. Anyways, yesterday i was sitting at the bus stop waiting to get home, when a woman came along with a wee leaflet about giving a free bible, i just assumed it was a protestant church (i do live in larkhall :P) but no it was a jehovah....karmas a bitch eh?

Anyways, my last few days havent been the most busy for me but the next few will be fantastic. It involves, drink, parties and of course seeing my beloved Jared Leto( he is my man crush) and the mighty 30 Seconds to Mars on Saturday. Oh and watching the battle of the great unwashed at Sunday Lunchtime :)

Thats this blog entry wrapped up. Have a nice night world and will blog you soon !

Welcome!

Hey there everyone this is the life and times of fraser alan shaw :)

Well today wasn't the most productive of days for myself. After missing the train into Glasgow for uni because of bloody buses I went home and just played FIFA 10 for a couple of hours.

Once i had my lunch (Pasta N Sauce FTW!) i sat down and watched some of the winter olympics and realised that jamaica actually has a winter olympic team although it wasnt a bobsleigh team, it was a skiier.

Later on in the day i just went on the laptop and listened to some Enter Shikari and Stereophonics and then went on msn for a wee while. Had chats with Clare and Lauren and a few other folks and gave my usual talks on how guys are dicks :P:P

Well today had its ups and downs but "Have a Nice Day" by the 'Phonics never ceases to cheer me up.

Today was particulary boring today like but i'm pretty sure i will have more to say in later blogs!

Peace out !
