Hungover in Mallorca

Matt — Sun, 24 Sep 2006 10:38:42 +0000

I’m sooooooo knackered! It’s 12.30pm here, I’ve had 4hours sleep having got in at 7.30am from the wedding. I have to get to the airport in an hours time & my head is still spinning! But I have had a fantastic night. The wedding was great (tho a little different from the typical english wedding). I’ve tried out my Spanish with Dan & Laia’s friends “Vaya rollo de boda, donde esta el bar mas cercano” and “A Dan no se le nota el embarazo”. They tried their english back. I took loads of pics which I may try to put on here before I go to the airport if I have time. I think the highlight of the night had to be my Dad storming through the crowd to the front were the band were and snatching the mic when they started playing The Rolling Stones and pacing back and forth doing his Mick Jagger impression! It was hilarious (and scary because we’ve never seen him do stuff like that!) Overall it was a great night. The venue was the most beautiful place ever, even if it was in the middle of nowhere! Anyway, I’d best go pack my stuff. Adios amigos!

Me and My DS

Matt — Tue, 01 Aug 2006 20:13:33 +0000

Last weekend I was pretty ill with I don’t know what, so I decided I’d treat myself and buy a Nintendo DS last Tuesday to keep myself occupied while i was in bed at my sisters. It’s soooooooo addictive! I got it with the Brain Age game & my Dad is also addicted to it! Infact on the Tuesday night at my sisters, all the Ushers for her wedding were there bashing away and screaming colours at it (it’s got a built in mic with speech recognition and a touch screen). It’s also got WiFi built into it so I was playing against a little lad at the wedding the other day (not during the actual service cos that would just be wrong) which was awesome!! So everyone go and get a DS and lets play together (I want some friends basically). If you get one make sure you go and buy New Super Mario Bros! If you loved the old one on the GameBoy (back in the day) then you’ll absolutely love this version!!! It’s exactly the same style, but the graphics are amazing!!! And it’s so much more fun!!!

My sister’s married!

Matt — Mon, 31 Jul 2006 17:39:22 +0000

I’ve been away all last week helping my sister, Rachel, prepare for her big wedding day to Paul. It was such a great day! She looked really beautiful (as you can see in this picture). It was such a great day too. I was an Usher/DJ so I felt quite important. The speeches were very funny and my Dad’s speech (‘as Bride of the Father’ which he kept saying when rehearsing) went really well. So well done to him! And I can now have an extra brother! These two photo’s are from the photographer’s blog, they’re excellent pictures! If you’d like to see them, go to http://hyde-end.blogspot.com/2006/07/rachel-and-pauls-wedding.html. Take a look at some of my photo’s in my photo gallery. Now I just got to prepare for my big brother’s wedding in Mallorca! That will be fun!!!

The Beast Is Complete

Matt — Mon, 08 May 2006 23:27:54 +0000

Yes! I’ve finally finished my new computer! I bought a new 256Mb Graphics Card & a copy of Windows XP on Saturday and set those up. And today I copied all my music across & installed the second sound card so my mini funk box is already for DJing live! I think my first live gig with it will be my big sisters wedding – a perfect opportunity for it to go tits up! There’s only 2 more non-essential bits i want for it. A second beast of a hard drive & a flat screen monitor. Then I’m well & truly sorted.

How much to attend your brothers wedding?

Matt — Sat, 15 Apr 2006 13:53:43 +0000

Well it looks the Goldspink clan are getting into the marriage game! My older older sister (I have another older one, who’s younger than the oldest one, so I call her my younger older sister) is getting married in July to Paul (whose birthday it is 2moro infact! Pants! Best go get him a present). Then my brother is getting married to Laia in September! Mum keeps pestering for grandkids. She wants them before she pops her clogs I think, which is fair enough! Anyway, it turns out I’m gonna be in New York working when my bro gets married which means I have to fly back. If I was flying back to the UK that would be fine, flights are only about Â£200-300. Unfortunately, being the difficult person that he is, he lives in Mallorca and is getting married there! which means the cheapest flights are gonna cost Â£600 and it’ll take me 11 hrs to get there (there aren’t any direct)!!! Let’s just say I won’t be buying him wedding present!! Oh!!! I’ve had agenius idea, I could put a donate button on my blog and any people could donate to the cause of me not missing my brothers wedding! I think thats fairly worthy A bit cheeky, but definately worthy.

When I Grow Up To Be A Man

Matt — Fri, 19 Nov 2004 14:41:00 +0000

When I grow up to be a man I wanna be able to wear a suit everywhere!!! I think they’re ace &amp that everyone should wear them everyday, not just at weddings, birthdays & bah mitvah’s!
Here’s a pic of me at a wedding last year looking mighty fine in a suit (Also note, Abi is about to spit out food from her mouth in hesterics caused by another of my incredibly funny jokes! I should just be given my own comedy show!!!)

The First

Matt — Tue, 31 Aug 2004 12:00:51 +0000

Hola to all peeps!!

Sorry to put my profound thoughts upon the interweb, but i’m bored & i’ve got so much work to do! I needed a break, so i set up my own web blog! *stirs of excitement from the audience*

Yes, don’t all applaud me at once!!! Well I shall use this sight to mainly put up links to cool random things i find on the web, for example, www.cheese.com, a website dedicated to bringing you over 700 different types of cheese (who’d have thought it possible!). I think there’s enough on that site to keep us all occupied for the next few days (possibly weeks!!).

I shall you leave you all with an interesting thought…
Who was the first person to milk a cow and what the heck did they think they were doing?

Matt

PS. I’ve jus taken a proper look around the site & you can actually buy gift certificates for friends!!! Even better is the sampler kits, look at the $200 wedding cheese kit!!! Genius!!!
