A bit late on this post, my loyal sidekick and i took a trip to London last Wednesday, the day was filled with shopping, sightseeing, junk food and a few costume changes here and there. Was a very nice day with a few dilemas at the end but everything ended up aight.

RIP........Dimitri Foskin

A 24-year-old man who was shot dead in Birmingham has been named by police.

Dimitri Foskin was gunned down in Hockley Close in Newtown, an area which has been plagued by shootings in the past year.

It is the third fatal shooting in Newtown in less than a year.

On March 18, Nehemiah Bryce, 27, of Winson Green, was shot in Rodway Close, just a few hundred yards from the scene of last night's shooting.

On December 23 last year, Assar Joseph Mohammed Tomlinson was shot dead during a row outside a pub.

its astonishing to think that even in a city like Birmingham, in a country like England, in the modern day, people are still resorting to using guns and knives to resolve their differences.

Swagger like us...

A new home for two..

It was decided late tuesday, that we should take a trip to Liverpool where in less than a month brad and i will be living whilst studying at the Uni of Liverpool. We thought that a day trip was due to visit the city and have an explore to take in the culture.

Texts were sent, and a few phone calls exchanged just as i came walking out of N*E*R*D, and it was decided that we leave at about 10ish the following morning.

With team members baking such as brad, shrig, mat and myself it was sure to be a fun-filled adventure :) lol

After waking on tuesday morning i found that i also had to take my brother's friend who had been stopping with us back to her home town too. So and hour later than planned we all squeezed into my car and headed out for the 2hour drive that was to commence.

We arrived at Liverpool at 1 and quickly found a parking area just a short walk from the city center. For £2 all day (till 6) it was a big look.

After dropping off Leonie the team headed for a mingle around the center and headed straight for the new £1 Billion shopping district named LiverpoolOne. All the big brands are there and it boasts shops such as American Apparel, Nike store, Gap, Urban Outfitters (soon to open) and many more. It's basically Liverpool's equivalent of our own Bullring.

It adds a lot to the city center and creates a modern, cosmopolitan environment. I recommend going to check it and i know the others will too. Mat was bare chuffed lol.

An enquiry at the information office later and we were on our way towards the Tate Modern Liverpool Museum where we head rumors that a Banksy was on display.

No Banksy but a very helpful liverpudlian museum assistant and a slave history/maritime museum. So we had a brief chat and found some good galleries for future reference and also that there was an original Bansky piece located somewhere in Liv'.

Mat wanted to check the Slave History Museum and we were all hungry for some cultural food-for-thought so we took advantage of the free entry and had a look round.

Mat might want to post on this..?? I think we all found it interesting and educational.

After our visit to the Museums and Albert Docks we headed back into town. Destination: Bold St, the home of old/urban liverpool. This street has a really nice feel to it with small privately owned stores and boutiques and then larger branches such as the renowned ( :D ) Size? store itself.

Had a browse and a few items were bought from Size? courtesy of my discount card; Brad got some true white authentics and Mat got a trainer spotter T (i think, i didn't really see it properly. soz mat).

We all decided it was time for food so people grabbed snacks from various locations which included a funny and traditionally expected encounter with some true Scousers. I tried to take a sly picture but it didn't come out too well. They were drunken 14-16 year olds with a heavy Liv' accent who for some reason took a liking to matthew. 'twas jokes lol.

We then headed back to the car with intentions on tracking down our student accommodation which me and brad have been issued. Some wrong turns, bad map reading (mention no names!! lol), bare different directions being hailed at me and then we were there. Rankin and Morton House themselves.

They are located in a very lovely area with attractive views over the near-by park and green open spaces available for the students to enjoy all year round. lol.

I was actually very impressed and although the building themselves were dated and bombed-up with wet tissues, clearly reminiscences from previous student pranks, the surrounding area was wikid. :)

I referred to it as the Edgebaston/Harborne of Liverpool. Very nice indeed.

We left there with a feeling of expectation and excitement and stumbled across a Tesco's a short trip down the road. I was like blapp. i know i'll be spending bare time and money in there in the future.

Everyone got food and whilst doing so bumped into quite a few high-rated girls.

Me and brad = smiles all round lol.

..the local community looked to be full of student/lecturer/that-sort-of-uni-environment-types and we were feeling it! lol

Things looked promising for the future :D

The final stage of our day trip consisted of us mans devouring our selection of Tesco's Finest in my car whilst chatting and just generally joking around, before starting back on the 2hour trip home.

I thought the day was informative, educational, insightful, enjoyable and overall dapper.

A few pics:

Sorry mat, shrig.. but i had to put this pic on here!! lool

Great day guys.

N*E*R*D

Ok, i know i'm abit late on the post but it really doesn't matter. If you are anyone in birmingham, then you must have heard about this event.. and its massive impact on the birmingham audience. Basically, the gig was huge!! n*e*r*d smashed it!!

I cannot put into words the energy and enthusiasm of pharrell and the band and the influence this had on the crowd. It was poppin' lol

Now, as most of those who know me know, i am a dedicated supporter of pharrell, n*e*r*d and startrak, and i would go so far to say that i idolise and worship him/them! lol

These mans kill it.

So going into this event my adrenaline levels were high and expectations even higher. The support act came on to quite a reclusive audience and most people were simply content just head-nodding to the tunes. It was a band signed under the Startrak label called Chester French. Go check them, they are an interesting band and as i said got a few heads nodding.

After the generally subdued atmosphere during and after the support act, i was thinking that this could be a repeat of the fairly recent Lupe gig (for those of you that were there), which was, to put it simply.. weak. (note: no fault of lupe's. the crowd were just not baking it.)

Anyway, after a loong wait with suspense building amongst the crowd, N*E*R*D hit the stage with a huge impact. People were going crazy!. It was the most rammed gig i have ever been to, and i did not realise it up until this point..

Pushing. Shouting. Screaming. Panting.

..the vibe was amazing. pharrell and the boys continued to punch out hit after hit and pleased the audience with many of the old classics. For those that were there for the new album, there may have been slight disappointment, but for the n*e*r*d enthusiasts it was a dream. lol

Even with Chad's missing presence two thirds of the band ripped up the stage and with various members of startrak showing faces i would say that in general everyone was more than pleased.

During the gig i ran into quite a few of the expected faces.. and some unexpected ones (hold tight mike and friends lol).

The set concluded with many girls being pulled up onto the stage whilst Everybody Nose was intro'd and dropped. Including a cameo appearance (on stage!) from Baines. Brapo.

Overall, a massive night out and probably the best gig i have ever been to.

You know it was a serious event when even ant was shouting bare hard lol.

I managed to get a few decent pics:

I enjoyed this gig VERY much. Ant can vouch for how i was feeling at the end.. tired but ecstatic.

yessurrr.
