Today’s the day! I am so excited about my trip to Portugal, it’s finally here! So many firsts I will experience in these coming weeks – going on a plane, travelling abroad being the main two, and the rest an offshoot of those (using a foreign currency for one). I’m sure you’re all thinking “Good god Rhys, grow up, it’s not that special” (quote from Guy & about half the Circle Line service after I went on the London Underground for the first time), but it is in my mind – it’s going to be brilliant.

I have actually finished packing. I had no form of hand luggage, so I bought a very metrosexual manbag which could class as hand luggage. I’m keeping my wallet, keys and phone in my pocket, but everything majorly important and things I need for the flight is going into my manbag. Incidentally, the books I plonked for are To Be the Man, which is Ric Flair’s Autobiography and She Stood There Laughing the story of the pain and torment of being a “Lower League Fan”. Trust me, he’s a Stoke City Fan, they have no idea what it’s like being a “Lower League Fan” like me as a Colwyn Bay FC Fan.

To tell you the truth, I know why women have handbags now, it’s so useful! I bought it yesterday and just dropped a bunch of stuff in there. I would continue using it after my holidays, if it didn’t make me feel like such a pretentious prick.

So yes, packed and all set (though I did have a large hunt for the “items” – which I’ve found and put in and discrete compartment, within a shiny metallic bag. I’m locking my bag, I really don’t want the baggage handlers to get suspicious and I don’t want them to be causing an international incident), so what will become of this place whilst I’m away?

Well, look above you, you’ll see a banner rotation thing. One of them is a “your ad here” banner, which looks terrible.

I mean, it’s alright (I tried to mimic Google Adsense look, but it’s not great). So, if anybody with more design ability want to design me a “your ad here” banner, that’d be great. I’d also put your banner in the rotation to. So if you fancy it (468×60 only please), do so and you can email them to me with this form. Cheers.

Oh, and this only half a competition. If they’re terrible, I won’t include them, but you have the yardstick above you – if you can be better than the example above, you’ll get in. Also, no boobs/penises, and no animation.

Right, that’s your lot for the time being. I’m going to Portugal, call it premature but I’m updating the flag on my Facebook account. See you at the weekend!
