Prepping for the Super Bowl party

Saturday night's activity

We went to a charity comedy gig on Saturday at the Hackney Empire.  It was in aid of Shelter the homeless charity.

And very good it was too.  6 or 7 acts including Kettering's own James Acaster, Sofie Hagen and the headline Stewart Lee. It was compared by the brilliant Daniel Kitson, i'll definitely be on the look out for his next London gig.

Let's hope the charity made some good money to keep the homeless of the streets.

I may have to peel her off before I leave.

Prepping for Super Bowl

The first of 4 meaty delights for tomorrow's Super Bowl party.

40 times

I'm due to give blood for the 40th time today.

They let you give blood up to 4 times a year so in theory I could have given around 72 times.  I don't think you get an award at 40, maybe 50.  Find out in about 2 and a half years

No wonder there are so many delays

Increase in readership...

99% of my blog posts are done using my mobile phone or tablet through an app called blogger (surprisingly enough), I do have a number of issues with it but for the most part it works.  I use it because generally if i'm attaching a picture it's usually stored on the device i'm using.

When I use the internet to post (my blog is no longer blocked at work), when I post it gives you the option to post to google+ at the same time.  As far as i'm aware not many of my friends use this so it's interesting to see that I get more views for these posts when compared to the app.

I'll do some experiments and get back to you...  Or more than likely i'll forget or even more likely I won't be bothered.

Samosa for breakfast?

Don't mind if I do.

One of the chaps in our team turned 30 over the weekend so brought in a large cardboard box of samosas. Quite spicy.

We've also got a couple of the team coming back from holidays so we have treats from France and Vietnam.

New brand

My company is having a brand relaunch today.

The whole building was shaking this morning from a Taiko soon display. There's Aikido later.  Plus there are company branded caps, mints, phone cases and sun cream (?).

More converts

We test drove a couple of American recipes for next week's super bowl night so invited a couple of friends round to eat,  drink and get beaten at board games. 

April one Ticket to Ride by a large margin
I won Splendor
I also think I saw going to win Clark Trumps before they had to leave.
