Calm before the storm.

Been pretty busy so haven't had the time to get my blog on, finish alot of my stuff by the end of the week so will do a mega blog then; so until that point you'll have to make do with a micro update!
So I'm giving you one 'Bangers' and one 'Mash'!

For 'Bangers' there is an old edit I found on my hardrive. Its of all the OG haymarket skaters. Can you spot a very young dannyboy?!



And for 'Mash' we have a cheeky pasta dish I cooked up. I lightly fried a mixture of caramelised onions, tomato's and spinach which I then added to a selection of meats and pasta. Rounded it off with some lovely grated cheese, bellissimo!



See you soon for more fun!

Back to the Future.

Righto time for another enjoyable 'Bangers' and 'Mash'!

I'll start with 'Mash' as were going Transatlantic this week!
My bro is over in America for work and he's sent a few pics of his supersized American meals over.

Below we have a whole Lobster stuffed with crab and a 300g fillet steak, BIG PIMPING!



Then we have a 24 ounce (I think) steak, with a fork to show size!



And finally we have a full sunday roast provided by Nicola's kind mum. We have Yorkshire puddings, beef, cabbage, mash potato and I think turnip (There was also gravy for some splash). It was really good and perfect for a cold sunday night!



Right now onto 'Bangers'!

Doing a documentary for my MA course and got to borrow some of the uni equipment which banging!



Even managed to wangle filming on the Swallow hotel roof!



Before I took the camera back I thought I might aswell film some skating aswell! So went out with Matty Smith and Ben LDL. We went to this sketchy glass ridden spot and tried to get our fully flared on! Here's Ben warming up by dropping in off a metal bollard with the help of Matty.



As usual Matty took some harsh slams while trying to film a trick.



And to finish off this weeks post, here's a blast from the past the first ever 'Bishcam' trailer. I think its from around 2004 but it could be earlier.




See you next time!

Bish and Matty's trip to London.

Last week me and Matty made a very brief trip to London to have a meeting for some filming we are doing with Gumtree. We decided to drive down on Thursday morning, have the meeting then go to my bro's flat have a bit of a skate then travel back the next day after maybe a cheeky morning skate.

For 'Bangers' we have a storyboard of our trip to London.

First off we have some cooling towers near Sheffield, as a kid I used to think these were nuclear factories and I used to be scared to drive past them.



Here we have Matty driving us past Big Ben, it took us about 1 hour and a half to get 10 miles. We were informed the traffic was so bad because much of central London was blocked off because of Nick Griffin appearing on Question Time. Apparently not only do the BNP hate people of my colour but they also like to test my bladder control as I was very close to pissing myself and it was a race to the toliet once we got to my bro's!



My Bro lives near Canary Wharf and we decided to go get some food later on with Adam and my bro, Matty was blown away by the amount of shiny building Canary Wharf has to offer.



On the way back we got stuck in alot of traffic, luckily I was on hand with witty conversation and Matty dad had left a wide selection of cd's to listen too. My personal faves were the Beautiful South and Robert Palmer.



Well this week we have a London edition of 'Mash', and it comes in burger form!
Basically since our meeting me, Matty and Adam had been talking about going to Gourmet Burger Kitchen for some top notch burger action. My bro wasn't that down but we managed to convince him. Below we have my creation, a modified Kiwi burger! What you got is a burger, tomato, lettuce, an egg, bacon, pineapple, tomato relish and mayo BOOYA! On the side we got 2 bowls of chips, onion rings and 2 tubs of garlic sauce between us, check me out and chill!





See you all next time!

ER starring Jackie.

We have a breaking 'Bangers' and Mash' news update! Lets go straight to 'Bangers' for the info!

I got a text last night off Laura with a picture showing this.



The Doctors verdict was that he was keeping it so real that his body just couldn't take it.

On a less exciting note, here's where I will be buying a fixie if I ever decide to take up the sport of looking cool on a bike.



Seems like my sort of place.

Right and now onto the ever reliable 'Mash'.
Made a stop at the classic American Diner last week, haven't been in quite a while, lets just say its good to be home. For my meal I went for the Chilli beef Burrito covered with cheese and with a side of giant onion rings, it was the just the plate of grease that I needed!



Second off we have something which I ate at home. I didn't cook it but instead splashed out at Marks and Spencer's for some classy food. I ended up getting a sort of Coquille St Jacques scallops dish, which was scallops in the shell covered in a creamy white wine sauce mashed potato's and parmesan cheese. It was a creamy delight which went down a treat!



So until next time, I hope all yours dreams are of marshmallow fields and chocolate puppy dogs.

Food and fun.

Right am back for another exciting bout of 'Bangers' and 'Mash'.

We'll start off with 'Mash' and let me tell you the meal below was an absolute gem. About a month ago I went to 'Barn Asia' with my mum and dad as we'd heard some pretty good reviews of it, and those reviews weren't wrong!
I started with scallops and prok in a peanut and caramel sauce with a little bit of rice on the side. At first I thought it would be too sweet but the sauce perfectly complemented the scallops and pork, AMAZING.



For the main I went for a french/asain dish. It was slices of beef steak in a jasmine/saffron style sauce with loads of veg and a baguette too mop up the liquidy sauce. It a really nice main and felt very light and healthy, goodtimes.



For pudding I went for a classic chocolate cake with sides of icecream and a little bowl of crunchy toffee flakes, the presentation was really good and the crunchy toffee flakes were really nice with the cake and icecream.



Right now onto 'Bangers'. No skateboarding this time, but to replace it we have an appearance from some of Newcastle's most famous skateboard slackers.
First off we have Paul Morris, the man famous for of the nicest Bs Flips this side of Adrian Lopez. I caught up with this crazy cat in Bulletproof where he was being really Mod, I gave him a kiss, he seemed stoked.



And finally making his first appearance on my blog is Joe Hodgkiss. joe is my new flatmate and he's quoted as saying 'Living with Bish is like living with one my hero's'. He has a lovely nollie heel and he's just started getting back into skating, he is is training on our rowing machine.



Laters until next time!

London and Manchester roadtrips!

Right Ive been away the last week and a half keeping it real in different cities. Spent a week down in London so I could go to a meeting,flip premiere get drunk and skate with Mellon and co.



Then me and Mellon megabused it too Manchester to meet up with Kurt and Londontom to skate and party!



Thankfully Sam and his flatmates put us up in there lovely house.

So I will start with 'bangers' for this update as it's full of them!
First we have these 2 bling vehicles I saw while roaming the warm streets of the 'Big Smoke'. I have no idea what they are but they looked nice.

Sporty.



Gangsta.



Me and Mellon also caught up with London's number one ginger, Stu Fone at Mile End.



Here he is taking a photo of me doing a bs 5.0 on the bank over the bank.



When me and Mellon first got to Manchester we had to meet up with Sam near his house, so we got the bus to where we thought we were meant to meet. After some phone miss communication me and Mellon then ended up walking 20 minutes in the wrong direction from there in the pissing down rain. After finding this out we then had to walk all the way back. This is me during the journey carrying my camera bag, supplies bag and skateboard... Stoked.



When Londontom comes traveling he only travels in the most Victorian style, dinky suitcase and bottle scotch included.



Sam was sporting a fairly jewish T-shirt.



After a night of party Kurt decided to throw down a playpark inspired drop in.



And just before we left Kurt and Londontom decided to pose in front of this gnarly crab.




Don't have too much for 'mash' for this update as I didn't end up taking that many pictures of my meals as my phone kept dieing! Only have one meal from the whole time but Ive put another picture from another meal from before my adventures.

Soooo for the my one and only picture of food goodness from London is a lovely fish platter from a place called 'Browns'. It had on it salmon, creamed salmon, creamed crab, squid, bread, fish sauce and I think some other fish!



Then from before my trip I went for a meal with Nicola to Nudo and I ended up having a a cheeky duck noodle dish that was LUSH and wasn't that expensive so all in all in was a good deal!



So that's it for this update so until next time laters!

Two events two times the fun!

So in the last week we have 2 epic events in Newcastle, so am gonna give this update up to 'Bangers' alone because they were that good.

So to start us off we had King of the Howman, this year there were only 2 teams as people were slack for various reasons. This wasn't a problem as it turned into a battle of epic proportions between the 'empty life'/'deekies' crew and 'team part again' crew!

This is how our weekend went down.

we went around in a crew of 4 cars.



We hung out with Kurt's dog.



We hit up two 30 inch pizza's.



We partied V.I.P style in digital thanks to Big Neill.



Then we went home.




So onto this weekends event. Dave being the OG that he is decided that it was time the wasteland deserved a proper competition/jam so he went out of his way to organise and set up an all day event. Prizes were kindly donated by Jackie from Native. Below is some of the day (For pictures of tricks rather than people refer to the 'deekies' or another of the local blogs).

Dave put on a banging day.



Myself, Dave and Bingo were given judging duties (Jackie provided the commentary).



A tent was put up for the judges and refreshments. Water from Ian and coutersy of Tom Kirkby and Redbull we got about 4 crates of Redbull.



The event ended with a prize giving and a product toss!



All in all a good two weekends were had! Right so we will be back to the normal 'Bangers' and 'Mash' service next week, but to wet your appetite for the upcoming 'Mash' check out one of the puddings I had the other day at this restaurant. Poached strawberry and brioche trifle with sprinkles of crunchy honeycombs, and check out the rad jar it came in!




See you crazy cats next week for more funtimes!

Sun and sexy food.

'Bangers' and 'Mash' coming at ya live and uncut!

So we'll start with 'Mash'!

Hit up the Salsa club with Jackie, Laura, Kate and Alan and we decided to hit that shit hard! Basically we got 12 Tapas dishes, loaded Nacho's, potato wedges with dip and then a jug of Sangria! I would go into the specific Tapas dishes but there are far too many!



Then went back to Jackie's where he served a cheeky desert of chocolate tart, soya vanilla icecream and strawberries, oh yeah!



Went to Shakeaholic got a milkshake and chilled with Mrs Shakeaholic.



Also Tom Fone had birthday shindig happened last friday and was also a sort of moving in party from Steff, she put on a pretty sick spread to celebrate. My personal fav was the homemade sausage rolls!



Went for a cheeky meal at the Black door next to the biscuit factory yesterday but will save that blog for the weekend!

Right so onto 'Mash'!

First off while searching for a birthday card for Tom I came upon a 3D cat card, check that out and chill!



Carmine hooked up with us at the park and threw down some gang sign steez.



Stu Fone threw down ginger steez.



Cam came back from Canada and threw down sw blunt steez.



And finally Matty Smith layed down gnarly hammers steez with a fs noseslide on the rail at wasteland, he also did it in a line!



See you soon for more fun and frolics!
