Happy Anniversary

Today is our 9th wedding anniversary. Kerry and I got married in Reading on this day in 2001 and believe it or not it's just a little before digital photography really took off (for me at least) so no digital photos. Will have to scan a few at some point.

Thought I'd revisit the places that made this day so memorable via the web:
As far as memories go for our honeymoon, I can't remember the hotel or any names of restaurants we visited but we did all the normal tourist places including: Eiffel Tower (Kerry's vertigo got the better of her); Notre Dame; Pompidou Centre; Arc de Triomphe (very windy and wet); Louvre; Sacre-Coeur (artist portraits still rolled up in their tubes)

Sad news on this day
On this day today, Corey Haim died of a drug overdose. He was the same age as me at 38! This YouTube clip is possibly his most classic scene of him from The Lost Boys.

The Mighty Boosh new live show review

Thanks to my Modwolves fan club connections I managed to win exclusive tickets to see the brand new live show from the Mighty Boosh on Saturday. After our (unsuccessful) Thames boat ride we made our way over to 3 Mills TV studios in Bromley on Bow. If you don't want to know what's in the new live show then you'd best not read this as it will spoil the surprise. However if you want to know a summary of how it went then I'll say now, the performance was slightly worrying with only a week to go. There's a lot more mini-sketches and no real story compared to the previous tour. There's some great gags, some surprises but if it wasn't for their natural talent and personality the show would be slightly disappointing. Hopefully they'll put in some practice, improve the sketches that didn't quite work and maybe even come up with some new ideas. So, if you really don't want to know what happens in the show stop reading now, you have been warned. Mighty Boo...
