a few of the clan (plus a rhino) decended on me mams house sat for a bit of grub and a load of booze for r kids 50th birthday

sounds like a great idea til you get forty odd peeps of various sizes squashed into a two bedroomed terrace!

a few opted for the english summertime in the garden

and sunday saw me audition for simon cowells latest boy band

we've already got our first tour of the gay clubs of glasgow sorted, just got to get the B, S, and C wax sorted for next week

PADDED BRA AT UDDERS FELT

twas my first trip to the bridge at huddersfield on fri night to catch the lads in PADDED CELL at their sweary type best

really enjoyed the night sat with the ladies and chris

.
the band played quite a different set to the HL/blackout stuff which suprised me a bit

.jonny was his usual scary looking/great sounding self with italian tony bobbing roung round like a little four stringed pixy and rich doing a great, solid job on drums (once he'd stopped destroying them) all topped off by a top out-front sound by the rather SEXY pete

the audioslave and slade stuff sounding pretty bloody awsome. but ozzy's mama i'm coming home was the top tune of the night for me with nidge sounding the best i've ever heard him.
.

brilliant night with a good heavy does of entertainment!

.
get out n see em, but if you are easily offended

BOL**CKS

2008-03-23T00:59:00.000-07:00

HOW OLD??

sat night saw us over at the irish centre to celebrate rich n sues joint 40th barfday bash

it was a night of drinking, eating, drinking, dancing, drinking, THE ERICS , drinking, eating a bit more and drinking

it was a great night, but proved a bit too much for some of the little 'uns

and some of the big 'uns

it'll be the 50th bash before you know it

2008-03-17T06:46:00.000-07:00

DRAGON ME OUT FOR A BEVVY

the memories came flooding back this weekend when a few of the clan ventured away from the wind and rain of leeds into the wilds of filey for a bit of a break and to check out the wind and rain over there

and it was great

after a night of caravan antics (tv, beer and curry) me and steve managed to sneak out for a few more swift 'uns

which helped numb the heads a bit the following morning when it was decided a good idea (after a pick me up cider) to stand on the highest bit of the site to try and fly the monster kite

i'm not saying it was cold but we had to chisel jacobs snot trails off when we got back to the van!!

it was then decided that the best place to warm up was in the pub, so after a few medicinal bevvies it was back home via the lion in cas to see gud buds AFTER DARK

and speaking of gud buds, it was great to see big man phil

the lads had a great night with the boozer filling up in the second alf and a load of the punters getting up for a boogie

great to see mr ROCK OF THE NORTH steve in along with joe of METALLICA UK , tank from GIRL KILLS BOY , graham of EXPORT and avid merrion

plus the usual array of groupies

A DAY OF THE REST

sunday morning saw us out visiting all sorts of furry, funny, smelly ceatures including the new baby rabbits, i love rabbits, with a bit of mash, yorkshire puds and gravy

mmmmmmmmmmmmm!!

and speaking of grub, we caught up with ben sorting out his diet needs as hes such a fatty

he was told he could only have one sausage roll a day, so he decided to make his own which just happened to be the size of a small country

. then it was over to the three horseshoes headingley to catch the hunky punky classic rock new wave glam beast that is AFTER DARK

great night with plenty of beer, great tooons and dancing

and a welcome family vist in the shape of lol (PISSED), andy and chloe

2008-02-12T07:00:00.000-08:00

EXPORTLY DONE

www.myspace.com/daveeric

called up to the thornhill arms, stanningley, pudsey to see erics buds and top band Export strut their funky stuff

and the funky stuff for me is what they do best, from the soul classics to a belting version of shake yer tail feather they had everyone up singing, dancing or at least tapping their feet

the thornhill is a nice little biker freindly boozer run by pudsey cobras founder Steve & his lovely missis Angie who is a big bazza manifold fan, so shes OK in my book

.
shes the one hogging the mic in all the pics

so check the pub out and support our live venues before they all decide to go for karaoke and bloody disco's, gigs are most thurs and the odd sat, check on the ROCK OF THE NORTH gig guide for details

2008-02-06T04:48:00.000-08:00

SCABBY BRA

me, woody and the two lindas had a great time sampling the highlights of scarbourgh last weekend

mainly the beer, the food, the beer, the pound shop and the beer

bumped into nephew duncan who was out on a works afternoon do and had to be home by 9pm so his lass could go out, he was still in bed sun afternoon as he dint get back til the early hours, he thinks

met up with spoon and jan who took us to a great little boozer with a propper log fire and a load of silly hats (australia day?)

the log fire was most welcome as it wasnt the warmest of weekends, as you can probly tell by the pics below

really good place for a night out though, plenty of pubs with decent music and bands

to finish off, a couple of phone snaps including one with jake and meg trying to get me to scream at the spiders on their hands after a night on the cider with steve

it worked!!

DUZ THEE KNOW

sat saw 40 of the close clan take a coach trip into the deepest darkest wilds of barnsley to celebrate aunt ivy's 80th birthday

it was nice to get out with the family for a good old natter/piss up

and all was going fine until (YOU GUESSED IT) that dreaded scourge of clubland raised its ugly head

BINGO!!

but at least ivy won £50 (FIX)

for the rest of the night we were all entertained by a very drunk nephew danny and his attempts to dance, speak and stand upright

plus there was that thing that women think about every six seconds

CHOCOLATE CAKE

and after barnsley ended up in a pub in armley for afters and a chance for danny to rest his head

until finally at 3.30 in the morning when we had to drag me mum out and get her home

FINGERS IN PIES!!

i have started another band to run alongside the erics, due to sam having mojo gigging meaning the erics not doing as many gigs i found myself with weekends spare and thought it the right time to do something i've wanted to for a long time but never have

so along with three other guys (below)we've formed a rock/metal band called

SHIELD OF STEEL

with pete of BLACK RISING on vocals

.
gav of BARON GREENBACK on guitar + b/vox
.
graham of EXPORT on drums
,
and lil' old me on bass + b/vox
.
we will be gigging from jan 2008 playing covers from iron maiden, metallica, led zep, ac/dc, rainbow, queen, sabbath, accept, soundgarden + some original material
,
check out SHIELD OF STEEL for more details
.
also, on new years eve i will be standing in on bass and singering duties for howard in STYCKLEBACK down at the NEW ROSCOE LEEDS
.
think its £5 on the door, not sure of bar times as yet, more to cum

BLACK RISING

AFTER FINDING THAT IT WAS NT ON THE SCHOOL CURRICULUM, I DECIDED THAT IT WAS MY NEW GOAL IN LIFE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE YOUNGER PEEPS OF THE WORLD WERE EDUCATED IN THE ART OF HEAVY METAL

SO SUNDAY SAW ME AND BEN VENTURING OUT ONTO THE SUNSET STRIP, CAS VEGAS TO SEE BLACK RISING AT THE LION

WE COULD ONLY CATCH THE FIRST SET AS BEN HAD SCHOOL THE NEXT DAY AND I WAS PISSED

BUT I THINK HE PICKED UP A FEW TIPS

IF YOU LIKE YOUR ROCK, GET OUT N SEE 'EM

WOODY'S BIG 'UN

.friday 7th sept saw big boy woody marry the lovely linda, and he had some dodgy looking bald bloke as his best man

. so after an early morning date with our Friend jack, it was off to leeds to slip in a few sly pints

then down to the business

dave made sure he was a brave little soldier, holding his hand throughout the ceremony

woody was glad to get outside as he'd been brewing a great big guff for ages

. that's better

then it was on to the 'DO'

with family

.and Friends

.and before we knew it the first dance was underway

.great time for a photo, but how do you turn the bloody thing on

. everyone soon followed and was up for a boogie

.except crusher, who was making good use of the buffet

. until he was finally talked into showing the gathered peeps his amazing dancing skills

.only to be horrified that someone else got the last fairy cake

. there were some rather drunk people

lightweights

.but dave wasn't drunk, he was just tired

.great day

, but an even better couple .

AND LAST, BUT BY NO MEANS LEAST, THE BRIDES PINS

HAIRY SNOTTER

sunday was toms tenth barfday (and megs 4th)

and with him being a big hairy snotter fan we thought we'd get him on a steam train

apparently theres one in the movies that takes you to snogwarts

tom started his morning by finishing off a bar of fruit and nut, followed by a slap up spam fritter and chips plus tango at mrs miggins fish n chip emporium haworth

, then it was over the road to the bakery to partake of a rather large flake cake bun, then back to the train for a bag of crisps and a fanta

after going through a few short tunnels (bridges) we came to the big long dark one

and thats when the ork appeared

then it was back home for dinner!!

KARAOKE

A RUBBER DOLL

MORE BEER

A PRAWN STAR

(pink things with eyes)

A MOOSE

and as for the last night, were the boys still up for it big time?

and they were bloody great, with a set full of well known classics punked up to the eyeballs

and very glam they looked too with their NMFP cheerleader outfits and blonde wigs

the wigs were later removed in honour of britney and also to take the piss out of a certain baldy, beardy, bassist

then to feed the ducks
