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!

Rad Ned is BACK!

Rad Ned is back therefore he gets both 'Bangers' and 'Mash'! You better believe that shit!

I heard the Pink Panther lives in Durham.

Welcome to another exciting episode of 'Bangers' and 'Mash'! First off we have 'Bangers'!
So we went to Durham today to discover new spots and take in the sun. Well what we discovered was that there are about 4 spots and you get kicked out of them within 10 minutes, and if your asian they want to know why your filming near government buildings! We even got kicked out of one spot by a talking video camera warning us of £100 fines.
So after a bit of a fruitless we went to Coxhoe skate park nearby which actually turned into a bit of a session.

The crew was Mellon



Matty Smith



Original ripper David Hopper fresh off the plane



And of course your trusting brown filmer, ME!



We were joined at the session by Andrew Snowball and his crew who were ripping rural style! We left after a good day to chill and eat, montage is coming very soon.

Another borderline exciting thing that happened this week was my big turn at modeling T-shirts for native. Obviously I got the chance because of my searing good looks and melt in the mouth skin colour... Or maybe just because I would be the only one who do it for cheap/free. Either way being the sad case I am it stoked me out, so off I went to meet Jackie and Hman at Jackie's pad for a 'photoshoot'.

Basically Jackie was over it the minute I stepped through the door.



Hman hooked Jackie up with the technical knowledge.



And here's me repping the product like only a brown man can.





So if you wanna see my torso or just buy some fine skate related clothes etc go see jackie at Native Skatestore or go to www.nativeskatestore.co.uk

Right now onto 'Mash'!

Basically Ive not had any really exciting food this week as Ive been trying to eat a bit more healthy, so what you see below is a few dishes which weren't blogged in later posts.

First we have a dish which Matty Smith gobbled down in American Diner while I had a haircut next door. A nice stack of pancakes with vanilla icecream, berries and chocolate sauce! After having a bite am gonna have to say it was a sublime choice!



Second we have Mellon and James Rooney dishes from the last time we were at American Diner. James went with the controversial cheeseburger topped with olives. Rooney was stoked on this shit!



While Mellon went for bacon big boy hotdog, which was a hotdog with bacon on top. Mellon said it was nice but could have done with some cheese.



So join me soon for an exciting trip I recently to the Discovery Museum, HUZZAH!
