Hey Peeps!!!! I just realised its been over a month since my last post!!! Some of you probably thought that I'd gotten lost!!! But alas no!! I am safe in sound in little old Wigan!!! Well not much to report from the last month really....Haven't done much except catch up with family, and spend pretty much every Friday night at the pub..... I'm getting to know Wigan like the back of my hand now....So it feels a bit more like home! Went into Manchester yesterday with my little cousin Hayley....Took us like an hour to get in by train....And the man at the train station in Manc was very unhelpful....The left doesn't know what the right is doing in that place!! Anyway Manc Piccadilly Train Station...Is HUGE!!!!!!!!!! It has about 20 platforms that the trains arrive ... read more

Well helloooooo there!!!!! Yes I've arrived safely in sunny old England!!! Not!!! Anyways after the very long flight from NYC and me almost missing my plane, due to the stupid shuttle company...If you gonna tell your customers yes we will be there at the time you asked...(which I asked like 5 TIMES!!)...then make sure that you are going to arrive at 2pm and not 3.30pm and almost make your customer miss their flight!!...So yes that was fun!!! Ended up beating up an internet machine in Germany!! First of all I was knackered and the bloody thing was in German (which to me honestly was a surprise as everything else there is in English!!)...So yes it swallowed my money and then crashed!!!... Oh yeah one funny thing on the flight was this Russian guy!! Everytime an flight ... read more

...ummm going through security at Frankfurt airport...They put me through the scanner and then pronounced they needed to do a special test...Now I'd just been patted down by a very manly looking German girl...So I was like how much more special can you get!!!! So I asked the man..."What kind of special test?"..he just said "a special one", "you must come with me"....Now I was a bit worried about this...because I thought they were going to lead me away into a dark room and interrogate me torture style!! But then they asked me to open my bag...and me being very tired and stubborn at this stage...asked "why?"...and yes you guessed it "so we can do the special test"..So anyway I opened it and they took out my digital camera! I was quite perplexed...the lady just said ... read more
