Well, away to Cardiff

As I had said before I was going to Cardiff for Wales V Scotland in 6 nations.

I got the megabus gold at Glasgow when it got there 10.40pm. I didn't take a bag. Just me In Scotland shirt, jumper, trousers and shoes plus jacket. I knew it was bunks but not everything.

That photo is after I got in. I had a gap that was shorter than my arm to get my legs in until I got help to move some of the net. Then I get my jacket over on right. You have to face the way your travelling. Behind me is a gap after the bunk is finished. You get a small pillow. You get eye mask. I plug earplugs in to try and sleep. As usual the wifi doesn't work but still listen to music. It took me until about 1am to get to sleep. The bus has stopped at 2am (no you don't get out). I try to go to toilet via going down other end of bunk. It was locked. When I get back in I lose pillow, bad mistake. I don't fall asleep again to 3am. We're at Birmingham 4am and get pillow back and I sleep to 6am when were near Cardiff (and woke up. We get out and I go for walk. Here are some photos

I then find a bar that serves breakfast from 7.00 and I get bacon roll and coffee. At this point I have decided I ain't getting megabus back up to Glasgow at midnight. I get that sorted and some of the Cumnock boys are coming out at 9am.

This picture was quietest the prince of Wales pub that day. It's me and Mick

We all start enjoying ourselves and later on I buy a ticket for the game, outside the pub. So just before 2pm I head to game.

That was level 6 view. As you can see it's Sunny. I then get into seating.

Then the rugby starts, apart from Stuart Hogg, that wasn't only mistakes Scotland made. Line outs didn't work. Kicking for penalties was wrong when you try and don't get them. At half time I thought it could be 60/70 to Wales but only ended 51-3. I just hope next time I see Scotland at rugby 7s were better.

When game finished due to how long it took to get out I couldn't get back in pubs until 7pm. At least Ireland won. I have a good end to the day and a great nights sleep. We all leave on bus around 11am and get back to club at 7,15pm. I enjoyed shower when I got home.

It was some weekend.

Some caps of @kirstymalcolm and @stvkellyann and movie stuff

Well its been a while since I did some caps so I am going to start with Kirsty Malcolm from Sunday on STV

Next up one of my favourites, Kelly Ann Woodland, hope the small child is ok with her family now. Kelly Ann is doing breakfast bulletins this week.

Its a very short bulletin so I can only get so many. Yesterday I saw 12 years a slave. It is the best film I have seen in years. Its violent, not for the faint heartened, but it is amazing from start to finish. It is only 9 sleeps now in my own bed until Cardiff and Wales V Scotland, yeah! See you all later.

Morning, it's Thursdays

Well it's been a small amount of time since I did one of these, I think it's time I did.

Well firstly on Saturday night, my cousin peachy died. I wasn't expecting it. The time I saw him out was my birthday party in rugby club. He leaves behind Julie his daughter, Aunty Margaret his mum and a whole group of us. Now it was Sunday morning just after 9am I got phoned to be told. I had been phoned a short while later this was announced on facebook on Saturday night, I didn't feel much then, but it wasn't one of my facebook friends. Later on that night at Sun Inn, someone said sorry about peachy and I asked when she saw it, she said last night. I told her when I got phoned and at this point I Am Angry (not to person telling me). Now if you know somebody is dead, will you think of the family and make sure they know before you put it on facebook, twitter anything. Be respectful. This is first time I have spoke about it on here, facebook, twitter.

It's the funeral next Tuesday at 2.45pm.

Right try and change subject. Let's move onto Monday now.

Nicola Mcalley, stv news in Inverness was having a word "dreich". Nicola favourited mine "deliveries"

It started with my ticket for #wweglasgow

Paying £60 for ticket means I'll be close.

Now the delivery I was expecting came (my address is blocked so everyone else doesn't see it.

Now last week I phoned BT on my landline to find out about infinity. It was just over £42 per month, which is about £6 more than what I was paying for normal broadband, so yes, let's do it.

Box got delivered on Monday around 1040am, installation was Wednesday.

I had Liz and committee meeting Monday night.

Tuesday as normal I gave Stuart to give WWE Smackdown and Raw. It's Elimination Chamber on Sunday and it's on normal sky sports, YEAH.

2pm was Stevie and jukebox and at 7pm it was 2nd team training. I went home and sorted my cables in computer (so I knew which one was old hub). I also managed to watch STV News in whole, live.

Wednesday I got up about 7am. On STV news Tuesday night, Jennifer Harrild did report on #holy spandex morph suits and augmented reality in them. Before 8am I did some capping.

Jennifer does a lot of serious reports, it's good for the guys and girls at Morph Suits being with these suits and I guess they did well since this was on Glasgow and Edinburgh bulletins (I checked Aberdeen, I didn't see it) of STV News. I certinally haven't seen Jennifer being carried by Spider-Man. A big thank you to Stuart Burns and John Mackay (the Real Mackay) for there replies on twitter.

I will move to Wednesday, it was about 9am work started on infinity and by 10am it was finished the installation.

Last night it was training. Today it's club twice.

Well I hope some of you learn from this blog and see you about.
