Bonfire

Predator Press [LOBO] California -still stubbornly trying to kill us- finds us hopping from motel to motel in a relentless search of our own little space to throw elbows from. It's like getting strangled slowly and softly by deeply-tanned, diet pill-popping pastel tourniquets. I’ve done this “urban survivalist” thing before, but I’ve never been so bold as to do it with a family

Bonfire night at its best and worse! The Crewe blog family wandered over the railway bridge and down to the White Lion (Warmingham) for fireworks, a bonfire, beers (plus Fruit Shoots) and burgers. We bumped into friends, neighbours and enjoyed the freebie Guy Fawkes celebrations whilst we and a few hundred others pumped pounds into the pub's coffers. They make a real effort at the White Lion.

Queens Park is a buzz of activity this afternoon, with contractors onsite working on the lake perimeter and other areas of the park. Elsewhere, the Crewe & Nantwich Lions are busy building up the bonfire and the Blitz firework team are putting some heavy duty pyrotechnics in place. Tonight's annual bonfire and firework extravaganza certainly looks set to be a good one. The fairground rides ar

It is in fact November the 5th, which means tonight is Bonfire night. An evening where everybody in England gathers together around a roaring fire beneath a fog-cloaked sky and celebrates the arrest, torture, hanging, drawing, quartering, and eventual burning of Catholics everywhere; via the medium of the humble baked potato. However, recent Government edicts have [...]

A 13-YEAR-OLD who savagely beat a "helpless" man to death for no reason before throwing his body on a bonfire had enjoyed a trip with social services to Alton Towers just three days before the fatal attack. The remains of Stephen Croft's badly-charred body was found in the embers of a public bonfire in the early hours of November 6 last year. Recorder of Liverpool, Judge Henry Globe QC, yesterday told the schoolboy he will be locked up for a minimum of 13 years. ~ more... ~  

A 13-year-old boy was jailed yesterday for an indefinite period after battering a vulnerable young man to death and then throwing the body onto a bonfire on the 6th November 2007. Jamie Smith was said to be high on Cider and Vodka when he murdered Stephen Croft, 34-years-old, in the early hours after Guy Fawkes’ night. Smith [...]

  Nascar and Shakespeare? One talks in circles and the other rides around in circles. I’ll leave it up to you to decide who does what. Or is it whom does what? Once again, I’ll let you do the deciphering. I just write the stuff. Doesn’t mean that the words I put [...]

Parity! They talked about it during the broadcast on Sunday. I believe its true and I like it. Though Nascar gets their share of criticism and I will admit, I’ve expressed my displeasure in one form or another. But I will also give credit where credit is due.  

  Cautions! What happened to them at Bristol? Though it was somewhat exciting with a few laps to go with Tony getting dumped by something other than Goodyear. The rest of the race was ho-hum without anything earth shocking. Might have had something to do with the toughness of the COT. There were [...]

Firewalking is a technique that has been popular for centuries, ever since some fakir with a cart full of placebos to unload first gathered yokels around a coal pit and took the fiery walk in the hopes that they would believe he escaped burned feet because he was wearing the deity’s own socks and that the stinking concoctions he was doling out actually had some medicinal value.Motivational speaker Tony Robbins was able to use firewalking to much the same effect – in his case unloading tapes and books featuring innumerable hours of him giving you advice that could be boiled down to the Fred Flintstone soundbite “Think big, be big Barney.” It should be noted that Robbins was not suggesting the intervention of a deity, but rather that spending a whole wad of cash to listen to him go o

Most of the Western world is familiar with the image of Venus rising from the sea on a clamshell in the famous Italian Renaissance painting by Sandro Botticelli. With its lyrical, graceful beauty, the work we know so well is properly named The Birth of Venus and sometimes affectionately known in contemporary culture as “Venus on the Half Shell”, Botticelli’s work continues to inspire contemporary art, literature, and film. Botticelli’s mythological painting and its sister painting, Primavera, were commissioned by Lorenzo de’ Medici for his villa in Castello in 1485. More probable though is that the paintings were commissioned by Lorenzo for his teenaged sons, Piero and Giovanni. After the death of his father, Lorenzo de’ Medici with his brother Giuliano assumed power in Florence in 1469 at the age of twenty. Giuliano died in 1478, but Lorenzo went on to become known to posterity as ‘Il Magnifico’ or ‘The Magnificent’ during th

It's a very special day here in the United Kingdom. It's Guy Fawkes Night, or Bonfire Night.

Always one to be different, I thought we'd have a snap of the Queens Park bonfire before it goes up in smoke. Not sure about stewards looking after the pile of timber ahead of lighting, you wouldn't want to tackle these fellas, would you?As for this evening, yours truly is working nights - so no snapping for me. So if you take any good photos of bonfires, fireworks (other details on THIS post), fairground stuff or friends and family enjoying the entertainment around the borough then please email them to Crewe blog. Enjoy tonight and be safe...

Had the following call about 1 hour ago from an "Intelligent Fucking Customer". This is real. "[Dr Hamhock,] sorry but it's really to do with the state of our country at the moment. Could you arrange for your final skip to be collected as soon as possible. The skip you were using outside my store, some little scummers pulled all the wood and stuff out of it last night and proceeded to make a big bonfire up against the wall of our shop. The old man [the shop owner's Father] luckily managed to take some photos of the them in the act....BUT...... read more

Life is busy. Yesterday I was so low I was going to quit blogging and my business. Today I have phone calls to make and orders to place. Starting something like this is not as easy as I thought. In the mean time, Ryan has Bonfire Vineyards. Our tasting was a huge success and I want to thank everyone who attended on Sunday. We sincerely appreciate your support and feedback on the wine. Always the first to arrive and always the last to go. We are in the debt of Farley, Bryon, Ben and Lisa who never fail to lend a hand and see us through to the bitter end. (Case in point, the night before our wedding I was happily going home, alone, to get a glorious nights sleep before the big day. Well, not if Smooth, CrispySoft, Bec, Tomoko, Shige and the Cherba brothers had anything to say about it. I was up till 2am surrounded by dozing friends who didn't want me to be alone or nervous without them.) Best friends, like Smooth and CrispySoft, usually show up for our parties while we are still

So many of you have been asking about the beer batter pancakes, so who I am to hold out on a good thing! 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour 1/4 cup white sugar 3/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 egg, beaten 1 cup beer - we used Rouge American Amber 2 tablespoons butter, melted In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Pour in the egg, beer and melted butter; stir with a whisk just until blended - a few lumps are okay. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Coat with vegetable oil or cooking spray. Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake. When bubbles appear on top of the pancakes, flip, and cook until browned on the other side. ____________________________________________ Now, who likes wine? Raise your hand. Ok, good.

I spent Christmas in Zimbabwe. My birth-place and happy home for over 30 years. I was lucky enough to play a great deal of cricket here and give something back as an administrator and fund-raiser. Cricket was fun – great good fun for players and spectators alike. A lot of effort was made by the top players, and this showed in the way that they seemed able to punch above their weight in international cricketing circles. I am positive that the fun and passion they had for the game helped compliment the hard work they put in. I won’t even mention the financial side of it and the creative employment that cricket lovers and entrepreneurs provided to keep great players playing at home. Effort, passion and pride all round.And what of it all now? Corruption, threats and intimidation, arson and

Thirteen years ago, Blackburn Rovers won the Premier League title, despite losing 2-1 to Liverpool on the last day of the season.
