One thing this weekend could be related to would be food. Seriously. I have stuffed my face all weekend. My food diary for the weekend would rival War & Peace for size. Since Friday I have consumed:
- Spaghetti Bolognese
- 3 bowls of Cereal
- Footlong Italian BMT Subway on Italian Herb & Cheese Bread, with a cookie and 2 cokes (it was a refill, it’d be rude not to).
- A HUGE Chicken Rogan Josh on Fried Rice, with a peshwari naan, 2 poppadoms, 3 chicken tikka bites and 2 onion bhajis.
- A Carvery meal of roast ham, beef and chicken with “seasonal vegetables” (why are they called seasonal vegetables? They’re the same all ruddy year round!).
Add on to that the beer drank during Friday evening, Saturday during the Liverpool/Arsenal match and the Grand National, then if I haven’t put on 4 and a half stone this weekend, then I’m going to sell my genes to hollywood actresses.
So, what of the Grand National? Well I told everybody on Friday that I’d be revealing my punts for the National on Saturday Morning on Twitter. Sure enough I did, and one of them - Comply or Die - romped home to victory.
Furthermore, if you had followed all my picks, you’d have also picked up money on Slim Pickings, who finished a strong fourth. If you had listened to me, you would’ve ended up a massive 50p in the black!
As to what I’m going to spend my winnings on? I don’t know, something fun. Anybody take my advice? Or did anybody else win any cash on the National?
Finally, one of my favourite nightspots (and favourite in Llandudno) Club 147 is having a “Coyote Ugly Night” in a few weeks. Anybody have any ideas as to what that’d entail and - more importantly - should I attend?

That is a lot of food. One of my friends is doing an experiment where they twitter everything they eat during the course of a day, it’s pretty interesting to see it fold out over the week, not to mention that it makes me hungry!
I was torn between Comply or Die and Cloudy Lane and I went for the wrong one as usual.
A Coyote Ugly Night sounds like it would be based on that crappy film, where the bartenders get up and sing and dance on the bar. If the bar is run by hot women then I say go for it. I doubt you’d get so much joy from it if it’s run by hot blokes
Bar is run by hot women. One in particular is the sole reason I go there (well, it’s actually two reasons)
I have to admit I’ve seen the film! Bit gutted I didn’t drop in on the actual bar in NY while I was there with Jay.
If it’s anything like a bar I’ve been too in Manchester you’ll love it!!!
I eat an Italian BMT on Parmesan Oregano every weekend at work. Lettuce, Tomato, Capsicum, Olives, Honey Mustard sauce, 2 double choc cookies and a coke. Mmmm…
We bet £15 and won £25ish so wasn’t a bad day.
Coyote ugly night sounds fun - though normally the bar doesn’t get half as fire-y (coz of silly health and safety rules)as the film so i’d just expect scantily clad women dancing. And expensive shots?

That is some serious amount……………. I’ll have to think before treating you for dinner or lunch.
I picked Comply Or Die too, I won a tenner. Not bad though
