Lunch at @waterfront_ayr today

I went for lunch today and I have added this to tripadvisor Decided after viewing Trip Advisor this morning I was going here with friend for lunch. Got a table straight away (no reservation) and got juice £2.05 (average for ayr). I ordered Haggis, Nepps, Tatties as starter and friend had Melon (no photo). Took 5-10 to come out. It came very well presented. I had at a previous night elsewhere had haggis and this one looked quite a lot different. It wasn't very warm but it was great consistency, could get the flavours great. Next I had chicken after only waiting 5-10 minutes again between courses. We arrived 12.40 and left 1.50pm for 2 courses. Chicken had red cabbage, which was great, some mashed potato and a new potato with some gravy and green beans and carrot. All were cooked great. The plate also came out warm and was the perfect size. Previous time I went for lunch elsewhere, portion size was too big, this was perfect. My friend got his Cumberland sausage about same time and it had potatoes as well. he enjoyed it as well. Desert menu was brought out, but we had both had enough, just perfect. I would recommend this to friends to try out. It cost £33 for the 2 of us. Normally I would moan at paying that much, but the food was worth it, the servers were great, even checking during meal if it was ok. I can't complain about it (which is good). I saw their boards about being on facebook and twitter but their card doesn't show their twitter name @waterfront_ayr. If you read this, you may be changing that.

Well lets talk again

Thanks for looking at my last blog. Right first the one ronnie Thought I would give you a laugh. Well on Monday the rugby meeting went fairly well. I got details for Tillicoultry which Morton helped with. On Monday I also watched the Royal Rumble. I am glad John cena did well, but he does know the technique how to get rid of the big man. Tuesday some of the snow hit. At 11am it was slush in Cumnock but by 3pm it was ok. On Tuesday a also started doing my bit on club burns supper I did even a bit of capping of Sport. Its Katherine Downes and Katie Gornall.
Then yesterday I headed to ayr for lunch. Me and Frank went over to Flannigans at Prestwick. I had the chicken and rice soup which was very nice and I followed by Steak pie. Now the food was perfect temperature but on this occasion there was too much. We did have training at 6pm so I couldnt eat too much. It had about double the usual amount of steak I see puff pastry on top, good as well, about 8 potatoes and a side dish for veg. Great portion, just too much for me. Now when I was travelling to Ayr I got fixture changes so when I got home I sorted out my spreadsheet. Scotland fitba team did not bad last night after we finished training. Last Resort finished on Monday as well and it was a good finish to the series. I wasn't sure it was going to have a second series but it finished everything. Today is quiet busy with club twice probably and a jab this evening. Have a good day.

Well its been a while since I blogged

Well I havent really been blogging much have I, I am still busy with twitter and club stuff. Most of the club things recently have affected by too much rain or freezing, so not a lot of games. Some of my other stuff in club has been keeping me busy, trying to tell folk about iphone apps for pitchero
I also decided recently to stop giving TC's stuff for facebook for various reasons. I am also glad I aint going to any of the 6 nations games. After the autumn internationals and the performances there I didn't like Scotlands chances. After watching England beat Scotland on Saturday and Italy beat France on Sunday I definately don't like our chances. Back in January I was up at a Warriors game 4th January where Glasgow played well and so did the Cumnock p6/7 at half time. On the telly front, still enjoy my usual programmes, NCIS LA, NCIS, Hawaii 5-0, Top Gear, lots of news. Those programmes came in very handy last week with a round in royal about adverts, which I got nearly all the answers in, on Wednesday night quiz a lot was on 2012 and even though Labrinth and Emilie Sandie I got wrong, we still won the quiz. On Friday there I went and saw Les Miserables and it was great. I admit it, I cried at times but it was epic from start to finish. Then I had an idea in the Sun Friday night, I was going to old skool at Town Hall on Saturday and after halloween I said if I
got 10 likes/retweets I would wear it, it got more than 10. Now I went upto Sun and wore the tutu and leg warmers in there and went upto Town Hall, Shaun somehow thought I was joking and I quickly got changed into normal gear and put it in my coat. After some great tunes on Saturday night I went down to TC's and got asked to put it on, I had a better idea, and bought them drink and they wore it and posed for this photo
I think it looks better on them. I know I aint smiling in the photo, but I was at least in my head. So here is hoping I remember to do this more and see you all about. I have a youth committee meeting tonight and Wednesday head for Ayr, I hope I dont get hail going down.

December 28th 2012

Well I felt like doing a blog today to deal with a few views. As you may notice I have had to change my header. Current Buns site was closed because of a MPs views. I have to respect Martin (editor) for what he did. Tgoat is keeping up his capping on his blog, keep checking out his hard work and thanks Michael for all you do. Now I am going to do a selected #ff from the telly (roughly). First the funniest Anchorman out there, John Mackay who is great in Glasgow, can do the serious until you read his morning hoocha. Next a very nice woman I nearly met. Back in July I went to wet, wet, wet concert at Glasgow Green and couldnt say hello to Kelly Ann Woodland. After it I spoke to her on twitter about nearly going across. I Hope she enjoyed her first christmas married, even though she on yesterday. Right, even though she does Newcastle weather which isn't where I am Hannah Bayman is hard working. Delivering Quality First has meant we don't see much of Hannah now, but atleast she is still there (unlike some other regions). On a kinda side track we have a Newcastle lass called Claire Wynarczyk. She goes to more concerts than me, which considering I went to JLS, Wet wet wet, Killie dirty weekender, steps this year is getting harder. She was a games maker at Wembley in London 2012 which automatically gives her plus points. Ive never met her but is always nice. Right thats enough about telly. After twit ayr I have still had some busy times. Last Wednesday I was in for Stella to be put in for so long until I met Frank in Ayr. We went to Frankies & Bennys and it was good, better than time before. Last Friday I went upto Glenrothes to give my nephew Christmas Presents and came back by 4pm. I was down in club for Whisky Tasting and Raffle that night, that all ended at 10pm. I relaxed up the street and had a good night sleep. On Saturday I had birthday party to open for, after that I went to Catrine for Childrens Christmas Party. Thanks for everyone there that helped. I was trying to help make sure everything was organised for it and it appeared a success to me anyway. I watched the strictly final and thought Louis 2nd dance was great, thats what got me voting. On Monday I went upto Fife at 11.45 and got to sisters about 5pm. I spent a few days in Fife, coming back yesterday. There isnt a lot I can say about Fife. Last night at Royal our team won the quiz by 1 point, but it was a win. That covers it, I hope you all have a great New Year (Hogmanay).

Twit Ayr

Hello, just a quick one this morning. Though I had better talk about last night. Started at Saffy's and we were in time, well I was 2nd last there. Now before I went I tried to make sure that nothing at rugby would happen that would interupt, WRONG as usual. The astroturf at Cumnock Academy was OFF for 2nd week in a row and I text our team to tell them it was off and put it on facebook and website. Now at 6.20 as I was ordering I get call to change it because primary 6/7 are going to Catrine Games Hall at 7pm, can I change this. The wifi in Saffy's wasn't working but I somehow get it done on facebook and website. After that I get my Tomato and red pepper soup which was very nice, perfect temperature, even though I had to finish stuff on my phone. Next up I have the cagun chicken which has rice and a sauce. Now I made sure during day I didn't eat that much, so I have plenty of apetite. I just about finish meal in about 5 minutes and then phone rings. After finishing the main I talk to Bobby about stuff. I have the chocolate fudge cake, delicious. We then walk over to LA Bowl, "The Eagle" Michael wins the lazer quest and bowling. It's been a long time since I was at lazer quest and I get third after doing lots of moving about. We go down to the bowling and on xbox I am quite good at bowling (about 186 is my record). I had forgot the weight of a bowling ball. My name was chaos (after the lazer quest name). The first 2 rack ups i gutter the ball. I slowly remember how much to fling the ball down. I think I have no chance. Then I start getting an 8 then next end a 3 and i start getting the rythum back. By the end after a strike and spare I end at about 65 and finish 3rd from 6, great. The Eagle soared again and Ben was 2nd about 30/40 infront of me. Michael even got a serious photo of me preparing (this was after the strike which he couldn't get). I went and saw it was just after 9pm and I say I can get the 915 bus so I get to pub in Cumnock (I wasn't drinking then getting the bus back to Cumnock). It was a good finish in Cumnock as well. So cheers Ian, Ben, Michael, Michael, Iain for a great night. Today has more club stuff today and I hope this game goes ahead on Saturday!

Its Sunday 9th December

Hello everyone, I think it's time again to blog. There has been a subject I haven't been talking about on my blog. Back around the start of November Tober's other half contacted me and Rab Donald to help with a surprise 50th this weekend. So while we enjoyed ourselves at Autumn Internationals we spoke a little bit about it. I saw it was me who had took the booking for a 40th and not with Tober's name on it. Rab and Linda sorted out some of the invites and I started talking quietly to others, when Tober wasn't around me in the club. So I got a list of people we needed details for and got them and the people coming started to mount up. The other first things was to try and get a disco for this date. I went round just about every disco and dj I know in Cumnock, including Blaire, Eleanor, Papa Skim, Shanuke, I tried nearly 10 people. I had no success. Thankfully Louise got someone. The other thing about party, tober has to order in stock for the function, but can't know its for his party. The drink came as fairly normal. So it keeps gugling along and Louise asks about getting in club to get ready and how we get Tober at the club last week. We come up with a plan thanks to Mick Smith. I check the list of people coming and see about 90 on list, this got revised to about 60 on Friday afternoon. Tober thinks he is going for dinner at Lochside on Friday night, so he can't be in club at 5pm as normal. On Friday morning cleaner at club phones me for 2nd time in the morning at 11.15. The drink delivery is running late, can I go down as she doesn't know when its coming. I was moving fixtures to new dates when that phonecall came and I knew Friday was going to be a long day, I wasn't pleased to say the least. I got down and a few minutes later the drink arrived! We get set up in the hall, get lunch and get away for about 90 minutes. I get down to club and it was quiet to start. the staff arrive and Tober gets the phonecall. The Dj when he was phoned hadn't arrived. He arrived 7.10 (cutting it close, he was meant to be here 6.30pm). Everyone arrives and Tober finally gets here 7.45pm YEAH He didnt know until very late this was happening, it was just about a surprise. We have a good night, have a few beers and I think phew, it was just about the longest function I have been helping with. I had a good night and got home just before 1am. I know the rugby is off next day so I can have a lie in, WRONG! the cleaner phones me at 830am (I was in bed woke up by phone). I can't get into bins, the keys arent there, so I get up, get dressed and go down to club. I get the keys, open them up and after 2 other things I had to deal with I head home. "wasn't pleased" was nowhere how I felt when I got that phonecall and solving of problem. So what do you do when you get home after this, go back to bed. I had another 3 hours sleep and felt human when I got up 2nd time. I had steak pie lunch at Royal at lunchtime as I didnt have breakfast my first time and wrap Christmas presents
I only have 4 to get now. This coming week I am going to TwitAyr and next weekend family are coming over to Cumnock for my 39th birthday afternoon meal. Inbetween going to Fife for a few days over Christmas I am going to be my usual busy over here. Even when its just games getting cancelled I am still busy at club. The other thing which did have to move back in my schedule was the amount of capping for Currentbuns, which some of you may know me for. With the stuff happening around club and other stuff happening, I havent had the same motivation to spend the small time I have, sat at my computer, even if that is generally a quiet day. Martin covers London very well, and tgoat gets most other people I see. See you around.
