I’ve had a pretty epic year in 2013 that saw me travel to lots of great venues, both here and abroad, to entertain for some amazing people.
Needless to say, I was already smiling heading into 2014, but my grin became much wider when I saw that yours truly has been featured in the national magazine, Wedding Day Venues.
The wedding featured was the wedding of Laura & Trev at Shustoke Farm Barns last summer (take a quick scroll down to check out my blog entry on that!). It was a great day topped off by an amazing night and I am thrilled to have played a part in making it a day to remember. Enlarge the article below by clicking on it!
Thanks to Laura and Trevor for the kind words. This makes me so happy, I may even forgive them for spelling my name wrong. 😉
If you would like to hire a Professional DJ who can give you an amazing night as a fitting finale to your great day, then get in touch to hire Benny Smyth.
I own an S reg Renault Scenic. It loves petrol. In fact, it loves the stuff so much, it goes through it almost as quickly as I put the damn stuff into the car. I hate spending so much on petrol, so I was not best pleased with a conversation I had mere moments ago:
Attendant: That’s £67.41. Do you have a Shell card?
Me: No.
Attendant: Would you like to buy some drinks? Two for £2.
Me: Are you kidding me? In any other store in the world, I can get those same drinks at a considerably cheaper rate. Was shafting me for £70 not enough for you?
You would at least expect them to have some KY Jelly to help make the experience less painful.
Quoting the story from the BBC:
“One of the mysteries about the outbreak of the particularly vicious strain of E. coli is that most of the victims have been women….
…Scientists simply do not know why.”
I may have a theory on that, if anyone is interested?
I was talking to a friend of mine, and he managed to blurt out what could very well be the most genius quote of all time:
I’m not being funny, but this country is going to pot without it’s spine and testicles. We need a proper leader. Someone like…I dunno…Hitler. He was pretty ballsy.
I thought the use of the word ‘ballsy’ was particularly genius, bearing in mind that Hitler only had one ball…
I should imagine this is what it would be like to be friends with Karl Pilkington.
A shopping experience in Tesco:
– No, I don’t work here, but if I did I would happily tell you to look further than the end of your nose and find the eggs yourself.
– I used the self checkout, and found that the machine had a bigger personality than most of the retards who work there.
– Did you honestly try to pay for your shopping with an old Safeway’s ABC Card?
Bus journey home
– That’s OK Mr. Bus Driver – I didn’t really want to get off at this stop. Please continue onto a much more inconvenient stop. Also, you must continue to drive like a maniac. Seriously. No sarcasm here, sir.
– Should have drove.
Driving
– I’m sorry, are indicators optional extras on your car?
– Yes, I am driving at 20mph. Want to know why? It’s simply because I think you’re a bit of a plank for driving up my trumpet for the past ten minutes, so I decided it would be nice of me to slow down to make it much easier for you to keep up with me. Maybe, if we work together, we could spend the rest of our journeys touching bumpers. How fun would that be?
– How much for petrol?
Home life
– Actually, now you have bought it up, there are three things I would change about you: your face, your personality and your address.
I’ve been trawling through Autotrader looking for my first car, and at the same time I’m getting some idea on insurance prices via the comparison sites. Here’s what I have found out:
Lets say, for argument’s sake, that I intend on buying a Ford KA. For me, as a freshly qualified driver, my insurance would be around £2,000. But if I add my missus, who holds a provisional license, as a named driver, then the insurance drops to £1,200.
Anyone?
I passed my test on Friday at the first attempt. The way it should be done.
I will be car hunting from Friday. I feel it will be stressful and rather amusing, so I’ll be sure to let you know how I get on.
So yes, if you were smart enough to work it out, it is in fact me who will be joining Stourbridge’s very own The ‘Bridge.
I get my on-air debut tomorrow from 10am as I cover for Terry Settle, and then in the very near future, I will be taking on the reigns of Breakfast! 102.5 FM across the southern Black Country and online at http://www.thebridgeradio.net
ROCK ON!!!
About my previous post:
– I’m a Birmingham-based radio presenter.
– I can easily travel the short distance to Stourbridge.
– I’m almost certain that I have joined a station that broadcasts across the southern Black Country.
The similarities are scary!
…that, in the very near future, a Birmingham-based radio presenter will be joining:
If I hear anything else about this, I’ll let you know.
