Yes, this will be a Bon Jovi song, as was the song from Day 1. The one I have chosen for this post is Last Man Standing from the Have a Nice Day album which was released in 2005. None of the videos of this song being played live on YouTube are decent quality so [...]

30 Day Song Challenge Day 10 – A Song That Makes You Fall Asleep
May 30th, 2011
No Comments
This is an impossible task for me – as a really bad sleeper I only wish there was a song that made me fall asleep. Instead I will go for a song that I find very relaxing to listen to, which is as close as you are getting to a ‘fall asleep’ song for me I’m afraid. [...]
Star Wars: The Exhibition & My On Screen Debut as a Jedi Knight

Back in June 2007, the 23rd to be precise, two friends and I travelled to County Hall in London for the Star Wars: The Exhibition. Before it even opened we were treated to a stormtrooper walking around outside, and of course I got the obligatory photo with the Imperial soldier. Once inside we saw a [...]
30 Day Song Challenge Day 9 – A Song That You Can Dance To
May 29th, 2011

See, there’s a distinct difference between can dance to and do dance to, and the latter is where most of my dancing falls. I used to know the dance to Whigfield’s Saturday Night, but that was while I was at university, some 16 years ago, and I’ve since forgotten everything but a vague recollection of [...]
Photo of the Day – May 28th 2011: Who’s a pretty boy?

I went to Woburn Safari Park today with Phil and was able to take photos of many animals and birds. Frustratingly the best moment couldn’t be photographed, as Brian the monkey jumped on the bonnet of the car and sat on the roof, his tale dangling down on the windscreen being the only clue that [...]
30 Day Song Challenge Day 8 – A Song That You Know All The Words To
May 28th, 2011

This could easily be the song from day 1 again, but that would be boring. I’ll even go as far as to eliminate all Bon Jovi songs, as that would be too obvious. Instead I will got for a song that I sung, with the rest of my class, in a school signing contest back [...]
30 Day Song Challenge Day 7 – A Song That Reminds You Of A Certain Event
May 27th, 2011

This is a song I’ve liked for years, but it will always remind me of UFC 70, where it was used for the soundtrack to possibly the greatest sporting highlight real of all time. The build of the song is so perfectly in sync with the video footage and the emotion of the song is [...]
30 Day Song Challenge Day 6 – A Song That Reminds You Of Somewhere

Last May we took Lucas (our son, 3 now, 2 at the time of this story) on his first proper holiday to stay in a cottage in North Devon. We stayed at my Dad’s for a couple of days beforehand and on the Monday we left for the cottage I bought the debut album from Diana Vickers. You may remember her [...]
30 Day Song Challenge Day 5 – A Song That Reminds You Of Someone

This song brings a smile to my face when I think of Rob and I in nightclubs in the summer of 1998 dancing obliviously to this. There is a nightclub in Exeter called Timepiece where one night we cleared the dance floor with our awesome skills. At least that’s what naively thought at the time, it’s probably [...]
All 54 of the Star Tours 2 Ride Combinations

When looking at the search terms people have put into Google (other search engines are available, though rarely used) over the last few days I noticed quite a few people searching for the number of ride combinations on the new Star Tours 2 ride in Walt Disney World. So, without further ado, here are the 54 possible [...]
