'Proper' Star Wars Figures

As most people know, I still collect the orginal Star Wars figures & Vehicles etc. I have most of the collection from being a kid and as the value increased I decided to carry on to try and complete it using eBay etc.
I was sent this picture today, - I guess these people just weren't happy collecting the figures or playing the online Role Playing Games. They're called the '501st', as in '501st Squadron', I presume.

Detox in progress

Further to my last post, the Stag Weekend was Brilliant!
All of the planning and organisation put in by Stu came together perfectly, and a great time was had by all.
I wasn't down to do the paintballing, but after having such a good time on the Honda Pilots on Saturday morning I guess I just got carried away on adrenaline! To be honest I'd struggle to say which one I enjoyed the most. On Saturday evening I would have said the Pilots, but I can't stop thinking about the paintballing and would love to do it again.
I'm now thinking of organising the Pilots as an activity on my Stag Weekend, - wherever that ends up being! (More cost involved on the day with the paintballing as you pay per 200 pellets).

I've posted the photo's from the weekend on a separate site which is more accessible than posting them here. - It's the first time I've made use of the free Microsoft 'Spaces', and I have to say I'm impressed. Anyway, click below to see the photo's;

SY'S STAG WEEKEND - EDINBURGH, APRIL 2005

"Arooooooooooooga, Arooooooooooga"

Edinburgh here we come.
19 of us are off to the Scottish Capital tomorrow for Sy's Stag weekend, - returning Sunday.
Accomodation is right in the City Centre and looks to be really nice, - probably too nice for us lot!
It's an activities weekend, consisting of Honda Pilots on Saturday morning followed by Paintballing in the afternoon (with a pub lunch in between).
T-shirts have been made for everyone to wear on Saturday night with a suitable abusive nickname for everyone on the back. (I'm "Snap"!).
Hopefully post some photo's next week.....

(The title of this post is from the 'Men Behaving Badly Sketch', where Gary's being a Stag).

The best of both worlds

Try a search, - it's genius!

No doubt be closed down when Google cotton on to it.

I've never agreed with the Irish bloke getting all the attention...

A public holiday to celebrate OUR patron saint is only right in my opinion.

Vote for St George's Day Holiday

As for all the talk we had during the World Cup about the St George's Flag putting pressure on other nationalities within this country, I'm sorry but that's just rubbish.
We need a public holiday to unite the nation and get drunk!!!

The world waits for a new Pope

The Vatican is closed today and security is tight whilst they vote for a new Pope.
However 1 photo has slipped out already....

"Yo dude, yu dam man" - Randy Jackson

"I loved your peformance" - Paula Abdul

"Rubbish. That was the worst I've ever seen" - Simon Cowell

"I was Fred Elliot, I say, I say, I was Fred Elliot"

This website has been going for years but it still has to be one of my favourites. Make sure you choose a character who you actually know about or it won't work properly. Enjoy...

Guess the Dictator or Sit-Com Character

It's that time of year again

Newcastle are releasing another new kit. This time it's the home one and as usual (sure they do it on purpose!), a preview of it has leaked to the web. Soon to be available in all good sports stores (and a few bad ones), at a price of around £40 I guess. Wonder how many saddo's sleep on the streets to be the first to get one from the club shop this time?!?

I'm not 'WelshIST' but....

....I'm glad they can't qualify for the World Cup next year.
England's next game is against Wales on Saturday 3rd September, - yep the day I get married.
Jen was worried that it would be a big event and would overshadow the day, but now there's nothing at stake other than pride.
My uncle Rob has also had his orders that he can't go to the game because of the wedding so it should stop him giving me grief about that!
