New routes, old masters! 2008-12-28 12:52:00 Strange but true, I love strange news, odd bits of bonkers stories from around the world and around the corner! It really makes me smile, here's a tiny selection of headlines recently - John Lennon makes TV commercial 28 years after his death! 6 officials sacked in China for falling asleep in meeting. Russian companies top the world bribe index. Australian man plays with electricity for a hobby. B Read more:routes
The sales! Global economic crisis or mass media hype? 2008-12-27 12:00:00 Merry Christmas to you all, I hope you had a wonderful time, I hope Santa emptied his sack at the end of your bed on the night. I was working all night and didn't finish until the 8th hour of the day, just as light was creeping around the clouds. The morning of Christmas was kinda busy at work, not as busy as last year, but busy enough for my liking. Soon it was homeward bound to a b Read more:Global

Homeward bound! 2008-12-19 06:05:00 Wow, amazing, wonderful, entertaining, jolly, fantastic, delightfull. Just a few of the ways to describe last night's Hairspray. More details to follow, but for now, we're on our way back to dear old Brighton!
Duck-here comes Matt! 2008-12-18 07:03:00 An early start was managed, despite Matt's moans and groans of not enough sleep, and we hot footed it down to Shaftsbury Ave. Once we got there we were lucky enough to bag front row tickets for Hairspray. Yes the front row on less and whats more, those two tickets cost less than one for Last nights Wicked!.. . . . . . . . . We then checked into a different hotel and shuffled down to the London E Read more:comes
Yes, we're back! 2008-12-16 13:15:00 It's been a long while since I last posted here, sorry about that, let me make it up to you and do a flying thru time update. Oh where do I start? There's been so much happening and yet so little as well, I'm completely lost at the chronological order of things, so I'll just battle on with the random thoughts of things that have come and gone since I was last bashing the keys of
Getting away with it? Take Two 2008-12-11 11:25:00 My, my how times have changed! If you are someplace between 35 and 45 you'll remember a classic British kids TV show with George, Zippy, Geoffrey and Bungle - yep I'm talking about Rainbow! It was a classic, I loved it at as a kid, but, obviously I was a lot more innocent in those days, we;; weren't we all? I thought it was all innocent fun, but looking at it again these day
Palin's effect? Burn after reading - why waste the match! 2008-10-24 02:17:00 Some weeks there’s loads going on and other weeks there’s nothing going on, then of course there are those weeks where so much happens that it’s hard to draw breathe, take stock and contemplate your own position in this thing called life. Last week was one such week in the lives of Jason and Matt - i.e. me and him!Firstly, my phone finally succumbed to the ravages of moist time following the Read more:effect

The World in a Tea Cup! 2008-10-12 15:31:00 Can ya believe it's Sunday already? It seems like only yesterday it was Saturday! Anyway, what a week it's been, what a week indeed. At the start of this weekend we had what's being described as another Black Friday, apparently, The Global Credit Crunch has really started to bite, the world markets are in freefall, global stocks fell in the worst day of trading for 30 years. Pretty much all the ma Read more:World
10 days! 2008-10-06 03:41:00 Active, keep active, think cash not ash, think of the money, think of ya health, think of the future, keep active, do things, save the money, don't listen to others, don't put yaself in stressful situations, all that an more is good advice that comes flooding at you from all directions when you try and give up the smokes. From leaflets, from the NRT patches, from friends, from loved ones, from the
Award Winning! 2008-09-30 02:44:00 There are times when you just have to pat yourself on the back some some achievement or other, and this week is one such occasion. This blog - The Sea Front Diaries has won the Proud Out Loud website of the week on Vancouver.net! I love Vancouver, been there a couple of times and loved every second of my visits there. Hopefully Matt and I will be able to hop on a passing 757 sometime next ye Read more:Award

Cash not ash & Fat boys by the sea! 2008-09-28 12:46:00 Brighton has been bathed in really warm weather, clear powder blue skies, gentle and restful seas with the waves just kissing the shoreline like a feather. It's late September and I really should be back at school, Oh wait, this is blog not an old Rod Stewart number! Nope, it's been really lovely down here on the South Coast over the last couple of days, which I've just loved sharing wit
It's a long long road! 2008-09-25 09:24:00 So far it's 15 forms, 450 smackers and takes between 3 and 5 years - Nope not a sex change on the NHS but getting a 'Green Card' enabling me to live and work in the good old US of A!3 to 5 years is a long time if you ask me, indeed it's a long time even if you don't ask me! I'm also pretty darn sure along the way there will be more forms to fill out and a fair bit more wonga needed to be
Starbucks crusade V Beach life! 2008-09-20 12:00:00 Yesterday, Matt and I took the bus over to deepest, darkest Portslade to see my brother, and wonder of wonders he was in so we had a coffee with him and a catch up. It was good to see him, as the last five visits he has been nowhere in sight. After that we popped next door to Mo for a bus of tea!We heard all the gossip, Lance has moved back in, fresh from his spell in the YMCA and Rehab. Mo had be Read more:Beach

An era's end. Time for tea. 42! 2008-09-17 04:57:00 It’s the end of an era, it’s been around for 30 years and now it’s over, gone, finished, stopped, ended and kaput! Nope I’m not talking of American banking giant – Lehman Brothers collapse but something far more of a British institution, something that every 30 something Brit kid knows and remembers fondly. I am of course talking of Grange Hill, which played it’s last ever
No sleep till bedtime! 2008-09-14 03:00:00 On Thursday Matt and I ventured out down the round to Bear Central, otherwise known as The Star Public House. Nope, I've not developed a furry face and put on an extra 5 stone, nor has Matt become a little bear cub, but we headed down to Brighton's bear bar because we were meeting the wonder boy from the land of Scot, our dear old Angus.We'd not seen Angus since Pride, which was a long tim
The blind leading the partially sighted! 2008-09-10 10:04:00 I was thoroughly refreshed, replenished and fully charged for a weekend of working as I turned up to work on Friday evening. I'd had a nice few days off, so I was ready for the challenge of the next four on, I jumped the steps up two at a time, such was my enthusiasm! I went to my desk and was shocked to find that someone had nicked my box. Nope, I'm not getting sentimental over a box o
Summer - what summer? 2008-09-04 07:19:00
I'm staring out on a steel gray sky, looking upon waves rough and white on a dark and thunderous looking sea. It seems like it's winter already. Where has the summer gone? Indeed did we even have one this year? Did I blink and miss it? Did summer come and go while I've been sleeping? I fear that it must have done, I remember looking forward to it in spring time, I remember waiting
Honeymoon period 2008-08-21 02:59:00 It's Thursday morning and I've not long been home from work, greeted by Matt with a mug of hot chocolate and a breakfast/supper of fresh grapefruit oh and a smile and a kiss, sometimes life is just perfect. So far Matt has been here 25 days and so far no arguments, no disagreements and no problems, which is quite a surprise. I mean, I know me and I know I'm not the easiest of persons to liv Read more:Honeymoon
Brighthelmstone 2008-08-18 13:44:00 Brighton is a wonderful place, cosmopolitan, vibrant, bohemian, colourful, queer and a true 24 hour city of the new generation. But it's also a town with a rich and equally colourful history, part of that iconic history of the town surrounds the lovely West Pier, now little more than a ghost rising from the sea.The West Pier has a special place in my heart, I was so keen to show this part of the
No dumping with the door open in coupledom! 2008-08-14 02:12:00 It's already August 14th 2008, I've just done a night shift where every hour seems to last 240 minutes! Still I'm home now, which is such a blessing, made even more sweeter by the fact that waiting for me was a steaming hot mug of tea and warm smile! Can you believe we are already half way through August, yes indeed the year is two thirds done, summer is on a downward spiral and Autumn is knocking Read more:dumping
