Sir France-a-lot but don't blame him for le boogie. ps 60 out of 80 for ambience!!!

Hello once again from count Parry.

As usual I haven't written on here for a few weeks. A lot has happened so there are gonna be a few blogs rolled into one!!!!!

Basically I can't write about all the stuff that has happened since the last post as I can't remember but pictures say a thousand (treasure Island dip - Dom you crack me up) words..

First off me, Andy, Rachel, Leslie and Norm went to France to stay with my parents for a long weekend which I must say proved to be a lot of fun. The name game made it's usual appearance and as usual provided us with the laughs of the weekend. Heads hit tables and high pitched squeals/laughs echo'd around the Vendee. Yes thats right Rachel got drunk!!!! Ahuuuuuuuurr huuuuuur huuuuuuurr.

Matt and Carla finally came home so we had a big Northern Party for them in a school hall type thing in Old Farm Park and anyone who was anyone showed their face, including a mega surprise visit from my Ma and Pa.

I had a party t'other week as well with a bbq on the balcony, which proved to be a lot of fun as when we had finished cooking all the meat the bbq decided to get hot, 2 hours after it was started!!!

But I have lost the pictures so here are some classic pictures from the past!!

It backfired at the Disco!!!

Hmmm what a strange day yesterday turned out to be. Firstly it was review day at work and at about 9.30 I recieved a call on my direct number at work asking for me. Then this guy went on to say that he wanted me to come in for an interview for an international mapping company!!!! I told him I wasn't interested to which he kept replying "It's in London, you haven't heard the package yet"!!!

Then I got an email from a client saying that they had merged with another company and gave me his new address details. When I started typing them in I realised that the address was Lever St in Little Lever. For those of you who know me I was born and bred in Little Lever and that place is tiny!!

Then whilst talking to a client he happened to mention he was going on holiday next week so I asked him where and he replied "I'm going to France". I mentioned that I also am going to France at the end of the week and asked him where abouts. He said that he was going to the Vendee with his family - which is the same place I am going!!

Bloomin crazy!!!!

Well me Matt and Andy went to see the wombats last night at Soundhaus in Northampton. They were to quote Matt and his radio interview at the end "Very Lively" and I decided to tell said reporter, " they have been around for a while now and I think it's just about their time"!!!

A good night was had by all. One thing we did notice is that the male youth of today are getting freakishly tall and the Female youth seems to be getting noticably small.

Ps Pattison ate my Disco's!!!

Groin Grabbing, Breast Baring Fun.

Well what can I say, a night out in MK for the first time in a long time was enjoyed last Saturday. Andy and Marks childhood sweet heart I mean friend Sim was down from Birmingham for the eve and we started the entertainment off with drinks at MK's number one night spot 1st Base, with buckets of Corona and Liverpool vs Aston Villa. A rad goal from Gerrard finished off the match nicely for Sim and Moon Under the Water beckoned. So after seeing a man with green hair and some er lets say less desirable women we decided Lloyd's was where it was at, as we hope that it described itself truly i.e. Lloyd's No 1 Bar. Well what can I say after a few drinks in there where we met Jolly and I had my Groin grabbed by a strange woman we decided that after all this wasn't the number 1 spot in town so headed over to every ones fave... REVO'S!!!! This was where the night became blurry and mega fun. As we stood drinking someone in the gang was responsible for slowly dancing harder and harder until we were all dancing full on for HOURS!! The fun thing is that I don't dance yet when we started everyone in the place seemed to join in. Then for some reason I'm not sure if you can call her a 'Lady' but a lady decided to bare her breasts at me and the night became a blur. I woke up with my infamous purple face at 8.30 and then played Badminton. I think I maybe reverting back to 18 as I seem to be able to get drunk forget stuff and get up early with no problems!!!

Mark and Sim not seen you guys for ages and had a really goodnight, we will have to do the Brum or London thing soon. Oh and Andy you were alright. Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!!


Hope everyone is good and m perkino leave a comment you cretin.


Bye.

Not so Arctic Monkeys!! i.e the weather was warm.

CHRIS HEEEEEEEEEELLO!!


Hi guys, just been to Manchester to visit my family with Della this weekend as my cousin Cath and her Hubby to be Chris kindly wangled me 2 tickets to see the Arctic Monkeys at Old Trafford on Saturday. We went out drinking during the day on Saturday round a few bars in Manchester, which I really love doing as unlike MK they have some really nice independant pubs and bars rather than the usual crap like lloyds, Hogs Head etc. We ended up at Dukes 92 where me and Chris started taking the piss out of this bloke for wearing a cream jacket and his mate who was wearing a Panama hat. Only for him to turn around and be Neil Morrisey, he still looked stupid!!!

Next we went off to The gig quite drunk and ready for a good night. Unfortunately the que for drinks was at least 1 hour long so we started to sober up a bit. However my cousins friend Lynne had sneaked in a bottle of Vodka so cue the strongest Voda and Coke I have had in a long time was consummed very rapidly.

The gig was good they had a few tech probs i.e. the whole power going off but they rallied the crowd and pep's seemed to enjoy it. The only thing I didn't understand was why they had three cocks on the side of the stage???

The next day was spent with my cousin and Auntie and Uncle, you may remember them from such blogs as Jeans 60th Birthday etc etc. My Auntie Linda and Uncle Steve made sure I ate well and looked after me fantastically as usual and I can't wait for them to come up for Matt and Carla's P.A.R.T.Y!!!! Thanks to Linda I now own a pepper plant so should be self sufficent with veg in ohhh say a few weeks. As I now have Lettuce, Basil, Chillis, Mint, Chives, Thyme, Marjoram amongst others growing in my apartment - yeah thats right and I don't even have a bloomin garden. No I don't mean my garden is in a state and the flowers are not blooming but I don't actually have a garden.

Speak to y'all soon and stuff, bye!!!

K.O.L and We Smell!!!

Hey peps, had a wicked Friday eve as me and Andy went to Londinium and met up with Ben, Roz, Dom aka DipDom, Pat and Bethan. We all went to Hammersmith Apollo to see Kings of Leon. This was the 3rd time I have seen them and I have to say the first time was the best but they were still friggin ace!! Basically the whole place turned into a massive sweet box apart from some randon people stood in front of us wearing full suits and ties who were annoyed at people who were jumping up and down. Well if you don't want that to happen at a K.O.L gig or any gig come to think of it don't stand right in the middle ten rows from the front in the stalls!! Gimps!!!

Then came Saturday, had a few people round for drinks, which got a bit messy and a new cocktail was produced by me and Pete.... come black.

Hope you all had a rad weekend and speak to you all soon, unless I have never met you etc or I just don't like you!!

Football and Follies

Well peps what can I say...... Its been a long time since I really wrote on here. In the past few months I have shaved my head, won a gold medal for shooting and completed the marathon in under 3 and a half hours!!!



Well almost. As usual I have decided to write a bit on here as not been on for a while, the car is still going well and my new TV is starting to fit in with my lounge (looked abit out of place).



Went out on Friday night for a lads night out, basically this consisted of fighting all the way up to Lloyds, Jon Green getting 'locked' in the toilet cubical and Rob having to kick the door in as well as face biting and people falling asleep in Campbell park till 6am.



Went to a BBQ house warming in Winslow on Saturday where me and Peter aka Lucozade, aka Barry Manilow aka Chris Griffin (from Family Guy) basically 'cooked all the food' on an industrial size BBQ for about 3 hours whilst it pissed it down the whole time. But I got my reward as I got to go and play on the bouncy castle which was undercover and resembled a ladies bits where the door was.



Sunday did my usual of Badminton, which me Andi and Rachel all agreed was the best games we have played in the 4 months we have been playing. Then in the evening we went swimming in Newport, which was very enjoyable as there were many 'Ugly Swimmers' about.



My Ma and Pa are comming back this week, which has already proved eventful after I scored one of my most spectacular goals lastnight. basically the picture below shows how I managed to lob a 6ft3" man with his arms at full stretch in a 5-a-side goal from just outside the area. Mmmmmmmhhhhhhhhh MEGA!!



I will try and start posting again, but not really sure if anyone is reading.

Eggs and Gammon??? Who's got a poor Rhiannon???

Hello all!!! Last night for Andy's bday present me him and Matt went to see John Shuttleworth.
If you do not know of this man I strongly suggest you look him up, he has been around in this guise for around ten years and is well worth a look.

The set was all about food, so at the interval he asked everyone to fill out secret reciepe forms and he may read them out.

Well some of you out there who know me or perhaps have read this blog from the start (there was a blog about the bake off) no that i have a very special secret desert reciepe up my sleeve.......... yes thats right, the world famous DOUBLE BAKED, SWEATY DUCK EGG SURPRISE!!!

Imagine our delight as he arrived on stage with a wad of reciepes and the first one of only three to be read out was....... "where's Chris Parry"??

Ingredients

15xDuckEggs
100 oz Flour
100 oz Chocolate

Method

mix it all up
whack it in the oven and bake,
remove from oven and let it sweat,
then put back in oven
and display!!

to which he replied "you can't put it back in the oven!!! it's already sweated"!!!

He rounded off the evening with the perfect array of songs including "yes sir your right, it is

about food"!! Eggs and Gammon plus Pigeons in flight.... i wanna see you tonight pidge..pidge..pidge..pidge

Very Quick

Right well went out in Stony on Friday and this happened!!!!

Yes thats right rob went pant ripping again!!!

I am looking at getting a new car so thought I would right a tune aka ode to my car as it has always been there for me!!! Its called.......

Tangerine Dream.

“Ohhh tangerine dream, I would have never bought you if you were cream”

“You light up the way, your orange paint really brightens up my day”!

“Your paints sooo shocking and bright, you gave that old lady a fright.”

“Tangerineeeee ohhhh tangerineeee, I really love that you don’t have gangrene (aka rust)”!!!!

"Full Score!!! You light up my day"!!!!

Well what can I say... this blog is gonna be long and rammed full of pics. If there is anyone who reads this and doesn't know me or I just don't like them you may not know I have just been to New Zealand for a few weeks with my Ma and Pa and met up with my Bro and Carla after they have been away for 7 months.

Its day 5...6.. err can't really remember, but it has already been a mega ace trip. We picked up our Mega camp-er van the other day and instantly I could see she was to be called Geronimo, she just had that look about her. She is a sassy little number who will and did guide us through the 3000 kilometres we did whilst we were on the South Island.Yep thats right 3000 kilometres is over 2000 miles in about 13 days!!!!

It has only rained once so far and that was actually for the best as it stopped us going whale watching (wait for it, I will explain later). So instead of going to Kaikoura we had a little detour to Hanmer Springs. Here we visited the natural springs they had, I was disapointed as the spring were naturally hot but the water was pumped into man made pools not natural rock pools as I had hoped. They were full of sulpha which basically stank of dirty rotten eggs but the water in some pools got as hot as 41 degrees.

So the day after we headed back to Kaikoura for what turned out to be the most perfect day for whale spotting ever. People had told me the weather in NZ changes pretty quickly but it went from grey dull and pissing it down one day to bright cloud free skys the next. As the pictures show we managed to see 2 sperm (tee hee) whales. This was an amazing sight and especially as they surfaced for about 15 mins each. The guides were excellent as they even knew when they were going to dive and when we would see that huge tail. I have honestly never seen something so amazing. On the way back we were lucky enough to see Albatrosses, Seals/sea lions as the NZ seal aka Fur seal is actually a member of the Sea Lion family as it has ears (not just a fun trip, also very educational)!!!

I also learned that they are called sperm whales as they have 2.5 Tonnes of white oil in their heads which whalers originally thought was sperm. On the way back we were told that unfortunatley we had run out of time to see any Dolphins so back to port we headed.... only to be told that the Dolphins had found us. We raced to the top deck to see literally hundreds of DOLPHINS headed towards the boat. They truly are the clowns of the sea as they basically just dived, bombed, back flipped and jumped their way along with the boat. The pictures don't really do them or anything I saw justice but I hope they come some way to helping describe how amazing the experiences were.

On the way round we stopped in Franz Josef to see the Glacier. Basically this is a huge moving piece of ice that along with other Glaciers (sadly most have melted) literally carved the way through the rock to create the stunning mountains and scenery you can see in the pictures. This picture is of the Glacier which can move upto 1 metre per day!! As well as Milford Sound (technically not a sound but a fiord). (see above)

We are now on our way to Queens Town which we managed to make our base for a few days. Queens Town is a cool little place, very new England-ish and has loads to offer. Me, Mozza, Matt and Carla decided that Queens was the place to do white water rafting. This was a little dissapointing as the rivers are at their fullest in Spring when the snow melts (it is now NZ's Autumn). Me and Matt however decided that we would try to navigate through one set of rapids by swimming them instead of being on the raft. Only after we got back in the raft and navigated through them did our guide say "it's good to make sure you breath in when you are going up the wave and not what most people do which is breath in when you are at the top because the wave breaks on you and you can drown"!! Me and Matt looked at each other as we were coughing up shit loads of water thinking thanks for f**king telling us that now!!!!

After this we decided that we wanted to be more extreme and went luge-ing down a mountain. Basically this is like go-karting but because its in Queens it's more extreme!!! The next day was a little strange for me as I don't really like wine but PAID to go on a tasting tour with the Parry's and Carla. But I think I made the guides day as when we got there she asked everyone what wine they drank and recieved replys like.... " well I'm a cab fan" "I preffer a fruity white with a hint of passion fruit" and then me "I actually don't like wine"!!!! I'm happy to say though that I did find a wine I could stomach which was a cheeky little Riesling which I described as almost fizzy with a nice bouguet on the pallet, as I had a 'moment'. Whilst in Queens we also visited Minus 5 bar which is pretty much what it sounds like..... yep a bar that is constanly between -5 and -10 which you are only allowed to stay in for 30 mins and due to the carbon dioxide levels you are only allowed 3 drinks as each one is basically tripple the strengh due to the conditions.

This was also the ill fated night that me and Matt decided that Deeply Dippy needed a revamp and set upon writing our own version based upon our childhood.
"Deeply Dippy bout the quiche you make, Oh my god, oh for goodness sake".
"Deeply Dippy bout your pantry ware, oh my god whack it in yer tupaware".
Chorus
"Oh my love lets set sale upon yer flan case".
"Ohh mmmyy god lets stick vol-a-vonts in our face"
“Deeply Dippy about your table lamps, Oh my god whip off yer pantry pants”.
“Deeply Dippy about your glory hole, oh my god it’s as black as coal”.
Chorus
“Deeply Dippy about yer eggy whites, Oh my days De-lias a trans-vest-ite”.
“Deeply Dippy about beta max, it top loads and that’s a f*cking fact”!!!
Chorus
And so on etc etc……

Next we visited a place called Omaru. Basically we saw penguins here. The smallest and rarest in the world... the Blue Pengiun as well as the Yellow browed or something. We ventured up to Bushy Beach to see this fellow.... Penguin Hello!!!!
As we saw this chap someone pushed passed me and I grabbed onto a fence….. Yeah it was an electric fence and I received two pulses up my arm!!!
We went to see the Blue Penguins come in from the sea and as they are only 30cm high the waves would brake on the beach and all of a sudden there were about 30 of the little devils just standing there looking nervous. Unfortunately as they were timid faces you were not allowed to photo them.

Right don’t worry we are now on the home stretch and are in a place called Akakroa. We booked onto a trip at 8.15 in the morning to go swimming with the worlds smallest and rarest WILD dolphins, the Hector Dolphins. This was no swim in a pool or on the beach basically they took us out into the REAL Ocean. (Which as I was told, “it’s the sea, you get sharks here… we cannot guarantee there not there”)!!! Basically I heart the beach, I like being on boats on it but floating there in water that’s hundreds/thousands of meters deep scares the shit out of me!!!!! I braved the sharks (and as we were told afterwards the Killer Whales that migrate this way and feed on the dolphins) to float there with Dolphins swimming in and out of us whilst we made all the noise we could to attract them. One of the most memorable occasions of my life as they swam within centimetres of us bobbing and weaving in and out of us. That was our last full day in NZ and I feel a very fitting end to our trip.

Here is the ground we covered in no paticular order. Blenim, ChristChurch, Queens Town (twice) Hanmer, Kaikoura, Akaroa, Timaru, Milford Sound (basically the wick waterfall pics...stunning)!! Te Anau and Franz Josef.

I basically became B.Oddie whilst I was away as these little fellas the first being the 'moutain clown' Kea and the second i named clive, decided that they were gonna become my best friend and came within touching distance and were just happy to sit there looking at me.

This little guy was ace, on the last day he turned up as we were unloading Geronimo and was my new best friend... he was ace.

and here is the Holiday playlist and mandatory slogons... "Don't you worry about it"!!
"Imagine if a gust of wind came in now and expossed my Gusset!! and a little ginger girl was walking past and said... "daddy I can see that mans Gusset"!!! "Daaaady whats a Gusset"???
Horse, pengiun, hector etc etc Hello!!!

Deeply Dippy, Face for the radio, I would walk 500 miles and Pounding by Doves.

ps don't go swiming on the top of Singapore Airport as the Chlorine will literally burn your eyes!! Trust me, I still stink of Chlorine 4 showers after!!!
