12 marzo Talking about YouTube - 3/3 Andy Appleton vs Chris Melling - Final Rack at Wakefield - The Pro Tube13 febrero Talking about YouTube - Rico Diks beats Anthony Ginn in Semi-Final at Mickey Flynns 10 Ball Open...11 febrero Talking about YouTube - Osborne beats Majid at Mickey Flynns 10 Ball Semi-Final - The Pro Tube26 noviembre Damas World 8 Ball Pool Championships - Fujairah, UAEWithout a doubt, this was the best tournament I've ever attended - and I've seen a few!
The last 2 miles of the main motorway from the airport to Fujairah was festooned with huge banners every 100 yards, advertising the Damas World 8 Ball Pool Championship in Fujairah. In fact, signage and PR in general was the best I've ever seen for a tournament. I posted my articles all over the world and was rewarded by them being translated into such unlikely languages as Spanish, Hungarian and Russian, and my photographs were published in tonnes of newspapers in the Emirates and Gulf area - I even got quoted in the Manila Times newspaper in the Philippines, by pool writer and tournament organiser, Ronnie Nathanielsz.
My first visit to the United Arab Emirates and all I can say is, "I can't wait to return next year" - it's an awesome place, the people are REALLY nice and the weather was gorgeous. Dubai is ten times weirder than Las Vegas, I swam in the Persian Gulf, the pool clubs that I saw were brilliant, and last but not least, the hospitality of the tournament hosts was only exceeded by their generosity.
To cap it all off, I got to see some excellent pool including Wu Chia Ching making history not only as the youngest World Champion ever, but also as the only player to win the World 8 Ball Championship AND the World 9 Ball Championship in the same year.
Brilliant! 01 noviembre Fireworks at Gun WharfI love fireworks. I've missed some of the big displays in recent years, but this year is different... Trafalgar day celebrations and Royal visits means that Portsmouth is exploding all over the place this year, and I've attended most of the events! :D
Not the best of photos but you get the idea...
The new Spinnaker Tower (was supposed to be open for the Millenium celebrations) was lit up in a cycle of red, white and blue to commemorate Nelson's victory at Trafalgar.
Kaboom!
The fireworks were launched from a barge in the harbour, Power FM were there with the most recently evicted contestants from "The X Factor" doing a number on stage. (There was a pretty cool band on before them, doing a Green Day cover.) 18 septiembre Frankfurt Motor Show 2005A Great Time in Frankfurt Cute5 days work in Frankfurt and time for a test run for my new camera-phone. It appears a total success (thanks to Dave for my latest toy).  Some spectacular and surprisingly large erections!!!   Racey  Twin Valve Turbo  Barb Wire's Harley Davidson totally ROCKS!!!  Vroom Vroom Purr!!! 22 julio The Last Night of the Proms at Stansted ParkA terrific orchestral weekend at Stansted Park listening to all the old favourite Proms pieces on the Saturday.
 Our Union Jack covered table with the lovely house at Stansted in the background... A very boozy Saturday with some great friends and a cracking party atmosphere.
 Denise and Paul standing proudly over their magnificently patriotic picnic area, complete with big banners, flags, bunting and candles for later on in the evening!  Daniel and I, really getting into the swing of things on Sunday's "MAGIC" Queen tribute act, murdering their lyrics with our own sing-a-long!
 Sue, Denise and Jane getting into the spirit at the "Bjorn Again" ABBA tribute concert on the Sunday.

21 mayo The Hustlers Win!!!We Win!!! The quiz team played out of their skins this week as we beat the competition by a huge margin and won the 1st place cash for the first time ever.
(Pictured Left to Right) Dave, Hannah, Doug, Me, Paul, Cindy, Liam & Sue. 23 abril A Monster Night of TFC!Had a monster night of Team Fortress Classic yesterday... Played until my fingers ached in fact. Was loads of fun and managed to get some respectable scores considering I was up against some prem players. The [AH] clan has been a bit inactive recently and our servers are have been giving us no end of teething problems. Managed to get some screen shots of my Engineer character... I really miss playing in the clan matches, but I'm still enjoying playing at the clan style servers.
22 abril Quiz Night - Always Fun !The usual group of us went ot the Quiz Night at The Rutland Arms, but Dave M was in Kansas today and Cindy was away too, so we didn't fair too well. However, all was not lost as Liam won the raffle (Two-Pints-Of-Lager & A-Packet-of-Crisps :D ) and I was the grateful recipient of a pint of Hampshire Special Brew (HSB) :D:D:D 21 abril Feeling Pretty Gutted!
