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!
