I’ve had an awesome few days off, really caught up with a lot I’ve been planning to do, whilst had a nice break.
Good Friday was began with a meal in one of my favourite pubs - The Stag in Llangernyw. I’ve talked about visiting Llangernyw before, and I took a nice moody picture then. I did so on Friday.
Incidentally I had ham, egg and chips, washed down with a pint of Snowdon Brewery’s Six Nation’s Ale (I can’t remember what it was). It is such a nice meal, I was stuffed. But I was needed elsewhere.
Llanelian Road.
I haven’t really talked much about Colwyn Bay this year. Truth be told, we’ve not played fantastically this season, but thankfully we’ve hit a little bit of form at just the right time. As such, yesterday we played Cammel Laird, who’s famous for having Wayne Rooney’s brother playing for them (Graham. He’s rubbish). Colwyn Bay’s late push for the playoffs was still on, as a Neil Black hat trick made us win 3-1. Amazingly, you can see highlights from the game for free on NPLTV. So if you want an idea of what Colwyn Bay FC’s like, and can bare average commentary and adverts. Check it out here. You can also see me, after Blackie scores his second goal, I’m wearing a army green hoodie and clapping like a loon. And most the chants involve me.
Saturday came around and - like most Saturday Mornings - I had a driving lesson. I achieved something that I’ve never done - hit 60mph along the A470 (the only road that goes from North to South Wales). I never realise that for part of your test you have to go 60mph. To be honest, it frightened me. I was so scared in case I’d fuck up and stall or something. But I survived. How do you drivers cope with going so fast?
Went out on Saturday night for a few drinks, and caught up with a number of friends. As such now, I’m a little delicate, so I’m eating chocolate and playing Battallion Wars 2

want to be the first to ask what the hell are Schenanigans?! it a welsh thing or did you possibly mean Shenanigans
and as for driving fast…. nothing beats it! faster the better! managed to hit 240kmph (about 150mph i think) in my hire car over in western australia… wooo that was fun
bit scary as it was on a kinda gravel road and had very little grip! all adds to the excitement 
Bloody hell! 240km/h?? What were you driving? SS Commodore? XR8 Falcon? Or one of the specialist models like HSV or FPV?
The fastest I have been is 240km/h in a VR HSV Senator - but I was quite young and don’t really remember it.
The fastest I have driven is 180km/h (roughly 110mph) in my car. But since it’s a stock VS Commodore, it’s not too bad. I usually run out of road when I drive that quick. I love driving fast, but you have to be pretty careful with other road users… at that speed you approach them VERY quickly, almost as if they are standing still.
Worst part about driving fast is slowing down… you could slow down to 100km/h (60mph) and it feels like you’re crawling along.
In Australia most of our country roads are 110km/h - except for Northern Territory, which used to be unlimited. Although I think now they have just reduced it to 130km/h. So as a country boy, 60mph is pretty normal.
was a v8 Aurion i think from memory, not sure of much more detail than that.. went like shit off a shovel!
was on outback roads in WA - haev heard so many bad stories of police and speeding… mate of mine got done for 103 in a 100 zone… $140 fine!! takes the piss

When I saw that dog in the last photo I forgot what you wrote about. It’s sooo cute!

Get that fucking dog off the chair.
?!?!
You heard.

Going quickly’s the easy bit… it’s the slowing down where it all goes wrong
Speed doesn’t kill….. it’s the rapid deceleration when you hit something solid
I remember the first time I hit 40 it was terrifying, but the more you do it the easier it is…. 120 is the most I’ve managed (in Germany I hasten to point out).
You have had some awesome chocolate feast over the weekend Rhys. The last weekend was pretty chilled out with me too. Really relaxed and caught up with old friends, whom I had not met up since ages.
