“You’re not famous anymore!” (Well, except for Lock In Lee)
When I first met my mate Lee Adams (Lock In Lee) and realised he was a huge Nottingham Forest fan, I never thought our two teams would ever clash, as Forest had aspirations of getting back in till the Premiership and my team, AFC Bournemouth were unlikely to make the leap up to the Championship.

“Waters Running In The Wrong Direction…” – Girls Aloud Live May 2006
Girl bands weren’t big in the era I grew up in, so in terms of female singers I always looked to Kylie Minogue and Madonna and got into them.

Ginger Spice annoyed me, Read more about “Waters Running In The Wrong Direction…” – Girls Aloud Live May 2006[…]

One Month In Cranborne House, Bournemouth (August 2005)
I had never lived in any form of official student accomodation before, despite having studied at Belvoir Training Centre (1997 – 1998) and Ards Tech (2002 – 2003), and even when I moved to Bournemouth, England in 2003, I didn’t move into the student halls of residence. 2003 is when I started studying at Bournemouth Read more about One Month In Cranborne House, Bournemouth (August 2005)[…]
