Year in Review


As it the end of the year it’s time for a summary on the year 2012, 2012 was a big year for the United Kingdom. The Mayan’s predicted the end of the world,  the Olympics came to London, Paul McCartney ruined another national event and we all watched a boat in the rain. I could look at all these events through the typical British cynicism, but I’m going to do something a little different and tell you about my year.

January started in typically shit style within the first few weeks I had developed a lovely case of the man flu, combined with an allergy to an unknown substance (never did find out what it was), led to a week or two of discomfort. As the month passed by, February came and most probably the last Valentine’s I will ever be celebrating with it, if that wasn't enough of a kick in the metaphorical nads, I can’t even remember what we did. In all probability it was nothing, although I seem to remember Nando's being part of it. As the months marched on (see what I did there, yeah I’m a genius, what of it?) I turned 23, although in all honesty I still feel as though I’m 18-19, I’m so not mature enough for all this adults stuff like rent, babies and shit. If anything now at the end of the year I feel even younger as not much has changed in my life since I was 16, I’m still sat on my own playing computer games most of the day, living the dream eh?

Not much happened in April, clearly April is the boring month of the year. May rolled around a brought two great things to my life, firstly and most importantly Game of Thrones returned for its second thrilling season and also on a minor note I started my current job. As summer blossomed into June I jizzed myself on finding out that there was too be a Lego Lord of the Rings game (still haven’t got it or played it, FML). In addition I headed out to Nando's once again, before ending up as my first ever comedy gig with my favourite comedian, the wonderfully talented welsh ranter, Rhod Gilbert. July came round quickly after, with a trip to the ol’ faithful Pen-y-fan, but with a twist this time, we invited everyone with two feet. Was this a blessing or a disaster? I’m not quite sure myself. It was probably a disaster but the insignificant things are now my last memories of things I thought I would never lose but hey we can’t have everything now can we?

The Storm Approached in early August and to quote Mr Smith "My life got flipped, turned upside down" and to celebrate this monumental fuck up Me & the lads headed out for a great trip to Europe's favourite city of debauchery, Amsterdam. September came and I turned to the internet to ease my mind and started to blog for the third time. October came and past much like April did. Moving swiftly into November or Movmeber should I say where I grew an 80's tash (which I secretly miss to this day). At the end on November I ran the Santa dash for the second year running (love puns)

Finally to end on the year I will finish with a lovely rhyming poem. In to December it all came rushing, another year over and the rain started gushing. Hopefully in the year 2013 I will find someone new and cause much blushing, time to clear out the cobwebs of my life with plenty of brushing, but I’m content for now so there no point in rushing.


Hope You Have A Great New Year & I Wish You All The Best!
