First of all what a great weekend. Sitting round in my pants playing games in the company of men eating meat. I AM MAN! Games of all shapes and sizes although mostly tanks on my nintendo wii, of which by the way we completed. Boggle is always a winner but we invented a new and better game using the dice. Split the di between 2 people then race to see who can can make a word using all their 8 letters. Not as easy as you think. Using 16 wasn’t much easier although I managed…See above UNCONVENTIONALLY. I’m good.

Also see my new completely useless plastic glasses which I picked up from a bargain bin in a ladies clothes shop…my new favourites, which obviously instantly add 20 to my already outstanding IQ

awesome if you’ve never played crossbows and catapults get yourself over to ebay right now. A bit of weekend loft raiding at my mum and dads…Brilliant

Just settling back into work after my awesome amsterdam holiday which just about destroyed me…What better way to spend lunch than a 2 player guitar hero face off…genius.

Mine is the black, which I keep telling lee is superior…It certainly performs better

It’s official…I’m Live. Having recently found out xbox live is free (to a certain extent) I set it all up and got a free month of xbox live gold. Brilliant!. For someone who would rather stay in than go out, stay up till all hours and play games it is quite genius.

The funniest bit is playing games online and speaking to other geeks through the ridiculous looking headset…I don’t mind it, There’s a certain satisfaction I get sitting round my house looking like an idiot.

If you’re looking for me my tag is bitsOfBobs…woohoo

What a weekend already! Not only have I already had to wear sun tan lotion, I won the sweepstake at work for the Grand National! TIDY! Another day of park crawling and basking in the sunshine until we eventually come to rest in Botanic gardens armed with a huge woolworths bag full of goodies.

Upwords…brilliant…just like scrabble but you can build ontop of words …I love word Games. Dave and Carolyn, who for some reason decided to cycle 20 miles arrived, stopping only to play a cheap scrabble like alternative. I didn’t win…Eliza did…she by no means deserved it though.

“What’s this cool looking pointless blue blob?” I hear you cry, I’ll tell you it’s my new ps2 controller. Awesome although it does cause severe cramp after about 2 hrs. But function only plays a small part when you can have A COOL LOOKING BLUE BLOB!

Guess what? it’s pay day, guess what? yeah that’s right I went and bought an xbox 360. It’s one ugly looking piece of kit and noisy too making it very difficult to hide. Other than that it’s awesome. This weekend is a write off, and hope fully the rest of the month too :).

Might get xbox live setup…don’t really know anybody else that has it setup…or even if that’s an issue. Anybody got any reasons why not to get it? (other than eliza)

Well it’s finally happened…courtesy of Gary Wood. Four player wii action. First of all you need a massive room and you need at least 3 mates…we had all these boxes checked. Played wii tennis although an instant flaw was found. We were sweating and it made drinking very difficult. So the sports option was binned very quickly.

Inspired by alcohol on friday afternoon however I went and bought super monkey ball banana blitz which I knew was going to be awesome. It has over 50 mini games all can be played whilst making a hangover, as well as with a hangover so I recommend it to anyone.

Well it’s happened…finally finished zelda for my wii. Was quite easy really and a bit of a disappointment. I gave up over 50 hours of my life to complete it…I’ve seen better endings on hollyoaks! I still have to go back and do all the other little bits but now it’s just annoyed me…don’t think i’ll bother.

At least now I have some time to go and play some recently bought bargains (bought from a bargain bin) from Virgin. It’s all the more enjoyable knowing you got change from £1. Although king kong is rubbish…and I haven’t seen the film…only the good bits.

here it begins…Friday night in BurgerKing challenged by a burger questioning if I was a real man! I was…I even ate frazzles later on…just incase it wasn’t enough.

After said burger it’s back to train station for An epic weekend in Aviemore. All a bit last minute and a tad random. Armed with enough pants and socks and my nintendo wii, we ventured. Train journey was most enjoyable…no screaming kids and considering we had to change trains at Perth we had tables for both…hoorah.

Arrive in Aviemore and walk through the wilderness to maccas Mum and Dads flat…Awesome! what a place. All the esssentials and a bonus bathroom. Brilliant. Setup the wii and continue to tank the T. At this point I had what could only be described as a eyegraine I collapsed and last I heard was “put on shrek 2″ after that I have no idea.

Sat I wake up a new man…I Can see! yes what a result! Bacon sandwichs a must. Macca an early riser has us up at 0930…doesn’t go down very well with Greg (Although an olympic napper, grins through it). More games and festivities then off to the pub to watch football. Football isn’t a favourite of mine not going to lie. Keen I get to the Bar and order a pint only to discover everyone else is having Tea and Coffee. I know who won that argument. Disappointed by the fact there was still heaps of time left in the football match me and Greg went straight to the arcade. Star wars Pod racing a little bit drunk is genius. And also your £1 goes a long way. Final score me 4 Greg 1. Happy with that result it was into town for soup. Greg opted for broccolli and stilton…originally I mocked but it was better than mine and Maccas pea and ham.

Food done it was of for a wee wander round town only to discover this weekend there was a Scottish lib dems conferance on…Later this worked to our advantage. That done with nothing really to find other than Macca nearly taking a picture of Greg in a toilet cubical, only to discover Greg was outside with me (could have been Maccas finest hour). Off to the butchers for a large portion yes. Something about Aviemore turns us all to cavemen and we feel the need to get fred flinstone style steaks. Home, Greg napps. Macca makes an awesome steak. More games prevail and it gets dark. Favourite games include Taboo a game i’ve always seen but never played and that game where the person next to you puts a bit of paper on your head and you have to guess who the person is with only yes and no answers…which by the way is rubbish and by no means a favourite.

Out into town To a pub where Greg thinks he has a contact and the possibility of free booze arisses…no joy but a nice pub all the same. Tainted only by the fact there was a large group of people sitting drinking infront of the toilet door…why would you?!

Drink up and leave, Greg no has pulled another contact…politics related this time. We venture to the cairngorm hotel where there is a lib dem frenzy of booze and dodgy wigs, We blend right in. We decide to stay as It appears a cheeky late licence has come into effect. We wing it until about 2am when we ran out of things to convince the hotel we were staying there…including Gregs genius line “my friends gay” which didn’t work.

Back to the flat where I can’t remember much but we had enough bacon left for breakfast on sunday…

Sunday comes round more bacon and games. Might I recommend the tank game on wii play two people one set of controllers one driving one shooting…made up most of sunday. Then Macca found some more football I went in a huff and played scrabble on my own…I won. All tidied up and back to the train station only to pick up more meat. No table this time so I opt for music and a snooze.

Arrive home just after 8 only to be welcomed by my girlfriend “you smell of meat?” that’s when you know you’ve had a good weekend.
