The youngest legionary ever!

I recently took my family to the annual children's Roman festival at the Birdoswald Fort on Hadrians Wall, it's a great day out for the kids, they get the chance to join the Roman army, dress up as legionnaires, they go through training, marching, singing Roman songs and then end up in a battle against some invading barbarians (aka the dads). They get to race chariots at the the Circus Minimus, the game involves rolling a dice to move around the track, the winners are rewarded with a genuine (ch

Punch Drunk

On Friday I went to a charity boxing event in the beautiful coastal town( not!) of Hull, me and a group of friends did our best James Bond impressions and got fully tuxedoed up and descended upon the Hull Arena for an evening of merriment. The night began with a three course meal which was OK (nothing special really) then there were three kick-boxing bouts, one of which was for the British Championship, there was a stand-up comedian who was very funny, and a group of singers who were like ' IL D

One for the ladies.....

9 WORDS WOMEN USE   1. Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are   right and you need to shut up.   2. Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour.   Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more   minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.   3.

I want to go back.

As most of you already know, my beautiful , gorgeous, sexy wife :wub: got me the best present ever.....A trip to Rome for my 30th birthday, well to say I was chuffed to bits would be a serious understatement, I've actually been to Rome before but that was on a football trip to watch Leeds Utd v AS Roma in the Champions League, yes that's right, Leeds were once a good team! But anyway as it was a football trip the only sights I got to see were the inside's of the bars and tavern's. Anyway this t

24 things that make you a man... Grrrrr

1. OPENING JARS - She's struggling. You take it from her hands, open it effortlessly and pretend she loosened it for you. She didn't. Jars are men's work.   2. CALLING SOMEONE 'SON' - Especially policeman but even saying it to kids makes you the man.   3. DOING A PROPER SLIDE TACKLE - Beckham free kicks - camp. A Stuart Pearce tackle is the pinnacle of the game, simultaneously winning the ball and crippling the man. Magic.   4. SHARPENING A PENCIL WITH A STANLEY KNIFE - Blunt, is it? Ha
