Vegas DIBS!

Right been back from Vegas for about a week so I think its time to update the blog. As you might have guessed it's no longer 'Bangers' and 'Mash', this is because people kept complaining all I blogged about was food. Well don't worry though its gone I will still have some tasty pictures of food, but not just said pictures!

Ok, so I just got back from Vegas with the crew of Big Neill (The organiser of the trip).



Jackie, who was having his first holiday in about 4 years!



Richy, thrash master extraordinaire.



And of course me!



So after being on a flight with about 6 stag parties we arrived in Las Vegas only to be kept on the air strip for an hour as President Obama was landing at the airport aswell! Anyway we finally got off the plane and made our way onwards!



So Neill had booked us into a Planet Hollywood suite and ever suite is furnished with memorabilia from famous films, we were hoping on the Bruce Willis suite, or maybe the Arnie one. We got the Star Trek suite... That said it was geeky but RAD! The room was insane, 2 bedrooms with 3 double beds, 3 bathrooms, a hot tub connecting the sitting room to the master bathroom, a 50ish inch plasma screen and a massive panoramic window view, straight west coast'n!





We hit the club hard on the first night, after finding an energy drink called AMP to power us through our jetlag. Let me tell this drink is fucking mental and will send you crazy as Neill found out on the last night... So we all hit the sack at about 6ish in the morn, I awoke to find Jackie standing next to me asking if I knew where Richy was as he hadn't slept in his bed last night. After a quick look around he was no where to be found so we left him a note and went down to the breakfast buffet.



And who did we find gambling with a drink in hand at 10 in the morn? Richy, still mortal asking us whether it was morning yet. We informed him it was and he proceeded to go to bed, this was his position for about 12 hours.



So we went and hit my most anticipated part of Vegas, the buffets! 14 dollars all you could eat and did I eat! In 2 plates I had sausages, scrambled eggs, steak, eggs Benedict, hamburger meat, breakfast biscuits (like scones) all covered in some creamy white sauce, BOOYA!





While Richy slept, we hit up what Vegas had to offer in the day, this consisted of gambling.



Big buildings.



Asian men claiming to be the only ones playing guitar in the whole of the US.





And Fat people, there were so many fat people that we invented a game called dibs. Every time you see a really fat person you have to shout Dibs and take a sly photo. Immature? Yes. Fun? Most definitely. Here are a few of the best Dibs.







We wandered for a few hours and then went back to the suite to freshen up, Neill decided to take a bath while watching the tv.



Before we went out that night we decided to hit up a 28inch pizza which was pretty damn tasty!



After another night of getting to bed when it was light and getting up after about an hours sleep we decided to have another good wander around Vegas.



We found some Broon!



So before getting mortal on our last night we decided to hit up a posh meal. The venue of choice was a steakhouse and let me tell you it was amazing! Jackie and Neill went for various steaks while myself and Richy went for Steak and Lobster, surf and turf style! Add to this the various sides and you have a top notch meal!





To finish Richy and Jackie decided to get 2 pieces which were meant to serve roughly 4 people...





So arrived our final afternoon which started with me taking a few arty photo's in the room



We then headed out to waste some time before the plane.
Neill found his perfect drink.



Richy had an intense hotdog and chips.





We saw the fountains at the Bellagio.



And finally some more fat people.



We then made our way back to the airport where everyone looked tried from the holidays fun and frolics.





All that was left was a quick munch at Heathrow and then back home!



Catch you all for the next exciting blog update!

All about Joe.

Instead of the regular 'Bangers and Mash' we have a special post today, read below to find out...

Basically Joe is my new flatmate, and behind his image of an angry grumpy man lies a very VERY strange person. So after Mellon day I bring you the the strange world of Joe Hodgkiss.

While wandering the flat thinking about fanny Joe sometimes likes to work out, instead of using weights like a normal man Joe likes to use people of colour. As his usual partner of Will Smith wasn't about he decided to use my arm to do his chin ups.



As he's all about the fanny he demanded an arm wrestle to decide whether he should be allowed to make a move on Nicola.



Joe won like Rocky in Rocky, Rocky 2,3,4 and 5, and obviously impressed with his shear magnificence Nicola accepted his advances.



After having his way with my girlfriend Joe decided to pose for the new apple Ipod adverts, critic's have called it "inspirational".



What followed was a series of high level phone calls, which resulted in Joe being recruited as a Tory marketing campaigner.



After a few hours of hard work, Joe had produced an advert which Tory leaders have claimed is "almost as groundbreaking as the 'On the Buses'".





What does the future hold for Joe, who knows, but you better believe that he's in it for the fanny, BELIEVE.

Come back soon for a regular post of 'Bangers and Mash'!

Mellon day.

Right so before Mellon goes back to London Ive decided to dedicate a post and day to him rather than a regular 'Bangers' and 'Mash' update.
This post documents an estimated 24 hours in the life of Mellon and me.

We started our adventure after having a lovely meal provided by Mellon's mum and dad, unfortunatly I didn't have a camera to blog the meal, but let me tell you it was lovely! Anyway we ventured into town to try and find somewhere to skate untouched by snow or water.
Mellon said he knew a undercover ledge next to Burger King so we decided to go check it out. We found a nice little ledge but a tramp was asleep next to it and we didn't want to wake him up so we decided to make a move.



So we decided to hit up the classic spot of smooth tunnel, after an epic game of S.K.A.T.E security came and spoiled our fun and kicked us out. We offered them some saucy delights if they let us stay but they said they didn't like diabetic's or asian's with bags (They were cool with a whitey having a bag or just an asian just not both combined).



We decided to go back to the flat to have a cuddle and kill some zombies on 'Left 4 dead'. After ruling the game with iron fists Mellon went home on the promise to return the following day for American Diner fun (In reality we went the day after that, but that would ruin the 24 hour theme, so go with it).

And so to the next part of Mellon day... Food times! We rounded up a crew consisting of Mellon, Nicola, Tom, Hopper and me and made our way to the Diner.

Tom had already eaten so he went for a casual Hot chocolate and some pancakes.



Mellon being the world's worst diabetic got pancakes for a starter, a cheese hound (hotdog) for a main and then a banana split sundae for pudding! How this man still his limbs is beyond me! Anyway only managed to snap the starter and the pudding so take a gander!





Nicola went for a chicken burger and then shared a tall stack (4) of pancakes/maple syrup and banana with me. I fucked the photo of the burger up but take a look at the pancakes. Ive got to say they were delicious!



I opted for a pancakes starter and then a hen breakfast, which had sausages, an egg, fried toast, beans and bacon, not gonna lie but it wasn't up to the usual standard of American diner though it was still tasty.



After the fun and frolics of the Diner we decided to rearrange my sitting room, as I thought it was time for a change.



Mellon brim full of ideas created DVD corner, here he is trying to decide whether to watch '5 on 1' or '7 the hard way'.



So at the end of Mellon day we had a lovely new sitting room set up, hooray!



Joe couldn't handle just how amazing it was.



Catch me soon for the regular 'Bangers' and 'Mash'!

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!
