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!

Fun for all the family.

Right update time! As people have been complaining that I don't have anything but food in my blog we will start with 'Bangers'!

Here we have Matty Smith in full orange get up for his starring role in 'Orange Wednesdays'



On sunday we skated the college in the lovely warmth as only Londontom can he made a spot out of just some wood, a pallet and pure passion. Peep Pig's in Wigs for the banger which he laid into the bank.



We had a bit of a boozy session over the weekend, and Jamie Adair and James Rooney decided to turn into Sergeant Sicky and Captain Pisspants. Basically Jamie puked all over Mellon's room and Rooney got lost and woke up covered in piss... The photos below show the two culprits in the morning, Jamie attempting the clean up and Jamie's being informed that a lady likes him.





Right and now onto 'Mash'

I'll start off first with American Diner.

Ive been twice recently the first was a week or so ago with Maz and the decision was made to share two types of Hotdogs to get the full experience. So we got one Cheesedog and one chillidog, both were lovely but I think the chilli dog could have done with some cheese aswell.



The second was with Sam our weekend guest and a few other people, because I can't be arsed to post all the photos, I'll just post my food and Sam's.
I went for the classic Cheesedog, while Sam went for the epic double cheeseburger and it was intense!





And finally in my food adventures of the week I went to Red Mezza yesterday with my mum and dad. This is a Turkish cafe right next to my flat and I thought we should check it out!

I'm gonna have to say its really tasty and not that expensive, I'd recommend it to everyone!

So we decided to share some starters between us, and we went for a dish of grilled liver (Which was some of the best liver I've ever had!), Humus, and then stuffed vine leaves. It was a perfect starter.





So onto the main meal!

My mum went for a grilled chicken dish with rice which looked pretty damn tasty but I think it could have done with some sauce.



My dad went for the classic king prawns in garlic sauce with a bit of rice which he said was nice.



And finally I went for a seafood dish which had swordfish, king prawns, prawns and mussels covered in a tomato and garlic sauce, with a side dish of rice. It was very good and it even filled me up so much I couldn't finish it which is rare for me!



Righto that's it see you on the other side!

Food glorious food.

Well welcome to another edition of Bangers and Mash!

We'll start with Mash as that has the most info as usual.

My mum and dad took me for a belated birthday meal the other week and the venue which was chosen was Cafe Royal near the Grainger Market (Also the work place of Matty Smith).

I decided for my meal I'd go for the venison with creamy mash, veg and bacon. I had it medium rare and it was lovely tender!



My mum went for the chicken sandwich which was bloody huge, it had many things of goodness inside, plus she couldn't finish it so I got to have some of it, RESULT!



My dad went with the classic steak and chips and he wasn't too pleased on having to wait for me to take a photo of his meal before he could start eating!



All in all another top notch family meal!

Some time in the next week or so a few of us went to American diner, alas my phone died so I only got the chance to take pictures of my meal, but hopefully you'll enjoy!

I started with the Reise's milkshake.



My main was a little controversial but I thought it was very tasty. I had the super stack of 6 pancakes covered in maple syrup, 2 sausages and then a scoop of chocolate icecream! It was lush but as I was a little hungover I had to share some of it!



Lovely jubbly!

Then last weekend I made a epic journey down to Bournemouth for a family friends 60th birthday meal.
After a quick wash after a near 7 hour train journey we went to the restaurant.
I started with the scallops with pancetta covered in a cream sauce. It was lovely but I wish I had got a larger starter!



My starter may have been small but goddamn my main made up for it! I got a massive piece of belly pork with crackling on a bed of creamy champ mash in a rich gravy. It was very good!



We all had the same desert as we had a fruit pavlova which had a nice variety of fruits involved. It was a refreshing end to the meal, job done!



And for our Bangers we have a montage of our recent skate/party/job trip to London, enjoy!
