Ascot

Me and Dan headed to Ascot on Saturday for something to do, we paid for Premier admission as it wasn't that badly priced. We didn't win much but we met West Ham player Scott Parker who owns a horse but was told off of one of his entourage that it wasn't worth betting on. It was quite expensive especially in the premier area where it was £6.50 for a gamin sandwich, we ended up buying the most poshest chips and cheese I have ever seen, were nice though!

Shall I be blowing bubbles

After being dragged to Upton Park and my first Barclay's Premier League match by Dan, I could say I'm hooked. I met a "legend" although I didn't know he was, there were four goals, a penalty and a sending off. Albeit it was against Fulham and the atmosphere wasn't that good and I was surrounded by Italians that orgasmed every time Alessandro Diamanti touched the ball, it was still a good game and would like to go again. One problem, ticket availability! The next few home games coming up like Arsenal will be a challenge to get tickets. So the solution would be to buy a season ticket, but would it be a good investment. It would cost me £239 which actually isn't bad when it would let me see Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd etc and would get me cheap away tickets. So will I buy a West Ham United season ticket, I still don't know but I will update this when the decision has been made.

Michael McIntyre

Well after finally getting tickets for Michael McIntyre at Wembley Arena, we set off. Dan was driving, me in the passenger seat and Katie in the back. The drive went well until we got close to Wembley where we all encountered the longest 0.8 miles of our lives. After parking up in some ladies drive way (she sold us it for the night at a £10) we headed off to find a KFC. The gig itself was really good albeit he stole a Lee Evans joke but I love the man so much I will let him off with it and seeing that Dan won big in the bookies meant he was paying for the drinks so it was all good. Next up is Rhod Gilbert, the welsh funny man, a lot more of us going next time so should be good.
