Center Parcs

Just got back from Center Parcs this afternoon.

Had a well good week, obviously seemed to go very quick, but we certainly managed to pack a lot into the time! I think we pretty much did every activity there, apart from a couple of the very expensive ones - it cost enough as it was :-|

We did.......

  • Pool
  • Snooker
  • Table Tennis
  • Badminton
  • Tennis
  • Swimming
  • Field Archery
  • Ten Pin Bowling
  • Golf Driving Range
  • Laser Clay Pigeon Shooting
  • and Quad Biking :)
Unsuprisingly, the Quad Biking was very very good!



Never done it before and now I would love to do it again. We got like two 20 minute trek's through woodland and serious off-road stuff. It was even better than the off-road thing I did last year in a Land Rover Defender.

Laser Clay Pigeon shooting was really good too. Done the real thing before, but this was better if anything because they could do varied games etc. The gun was exactly the same feel, weight and everything, just you could have a scoreboard and everyone could aim for the same clay!

Pretty knackered now, unsuprisingly, although we didn't do as much "physical" sport as I expected, only played badminton once! - Alex didn't want to play again because he knew i'd finish what I started and beat him ;-)

Wasn't helped at the beginning of the week by the fact neither of us got any sleep the night before we went, for me mainly due to the fact I was sleeping on his floor sober (which has never happened before suprisingly....) So the first day seemed very long! All good in the end though.

Right, better go now, people arriving from Sheffield, big night out in Notts tonight :-D


I really will be sleeping the rest of the weekend.....!!!

Summer's here!

It's official.... Had a pint in a beer garden yesterday afternoon at the new local :-D
I've decided the local definitely gets my approval now, but it's a bit too close I think, being able to see your house from the pub is never a good thing.



I really needed that pint yesterday too, since I was working and will be again on monday :-| Just hope all this extra work I'm doing at the moment is being noticed.

Oh well, one week til Centre Parcs anyway!!!

Oblivion

This game is absolutley class. One of the best i've played in fact. One of the most addictive too.... As Mike has been demonstrating the last few days!

Unbelivable graphics and it's just so big! lol

You can pretty much go anywhere, do anything, or just stare at the scenary :) Think i've definitely found the game worth buying the Xbox 360 for! Amazing.

Must stop playing, must stop playing, must stop playing.... Actually, must get Mike to stop playing, must get Mike to stop playing ;-)

Back online!

Woohoo! Finally, back online. Not to bad really only been about 3 weeks.

Pretty much all sorted here now too. Got all the furniture and everything.

I never want to see a piece of Ikea/flat-pack furniture again :-|

Ever.

Now we just need to get everyone down for a night out and maybe some poker.... Oh yeah that's another piece of possible flat-pack furniture we need, a table. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
