Thought I’d try Yo Sushi in Manchester tonight before we go see Mr Neil a diamond in concert.
Had to try the latest drink- Korean favourite Aloe Vera drink.
Interesting taste!

What’s HoT and What’s NoT
Step One On the Move
All packed and ready, bed for 12.30 up at four and then over to the CaddyFrogs for a brekky.
Timings marred only slightly by Mrs Fogg faffing as women do and having to put a HMRC cheque in the bank (yes I am one of the lucky ones). Now Mrs Fogg has warned me to put out a whinge alert before I start, so here goes, Grumpy Gus rant time (you have been warned).
I got a lovely cheque from Mr Tax Man with a note that stated the details of how we arrived at this figure will be sent under separate cover (efficient use of money there). Well I was quite surprised (err not really), to see the cheque didn’t match the details, so a 45 min wait on the phone ensued (listening a constant reminder that all of my questions can be answered online, I bet not). Eventually through to a Hooman (loose term). “hi sir how can I help”, well it’s about, “let me guess you have a refund cheque”, yup. “and the figures don’t match”, yup, “well you’ll be about the 100th person I have spoken to today”, ok, “the problem is we are sending out information, but leaving some off”, well that’s not very good, “I know, but at least you could tell the difference between a refund and a demand, unlike the 99 others I have spoken to”. Happy then. Cheque duly banked and then I get my payslip which shows a refund from the nice taxman for approximately the same amount. Great so I have gone from being owed money by the tax man to owing money within seconds, oh well.
So whinge over (it was a mini one), we made it to the CaddyFrogs late, to see a fantastic brekky spread (youse guys). Farewells said it was off to the airport, no traffic, empty car park and empty terminal, wow.
Next stop that there Nodnol (Red Dward fans should be able to work that one out), to chill before the 27 hour mammoth flight, are we looking forward to that, Nooooooo.
Harley Humour
The inventor of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Arthur Davidson, died and went to heaven.
At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur. ‘Since you’ve been such a good man and your motorcycles
have changed the world, your reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want to in heaven.’
Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said, ‘ I want to hang out with God.’
St. Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room, and introduced him to God.
God recognized Arthur and commented, ‘Okay, so you were the one who invented the Harley-Davidson motorcycle? ‘
Arthur said, ‘Yeah, that’s me…’
God commented: ‘Well, what’s the big deal in inventing something that’s pretty unstable, makes noise and pollution and can’t run without a road?’
Arthur was a bit embarrassed, but finally spoke, ‘Excuse me, but aren’t you the inventor of woman?’
God said, ‘Ah, yes.’
‘Well,’ said Arthur, ‘professional to professional, you have some major design flaws in your invention !
1. There’s too much inconsistency in the front-end suspension
2. It chatters constantly at high speeds
3. Most rear ends are too soft and wobble about too much
4. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust
5. The maintenance costs are outrageous!!!!
‘Hmmmmm, you may have some good points there,’ replied God, ‘hold on.’
God went to his Celestial supercomputer, typed in a few words and waited for the results.
The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it.
‘Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed,’ God said to Arthur, ‘but according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours’.

For All You TV Addicts out There
Hi All,
We have had a chance to get a sneaky peak at some of the upcoming US programmes and it’s not all good I’m afraid.
Terminator, The Sarah Connor Chronicles – ICE COLD
Well for anyone waiting the new “Terminator, The Sarah Connor Chronicles”, sorry to disappoint but it is garbage, ropey effects, lame storylines and very poor acting. Come on you can make this better.
DEXTER – “IT’S SMOKIN”
Very clever and very original, it’s must see viewing
KNIGHTRIDER – IS IT COLD OR DID SOMEONE LEAVE THE FREEZER OPEN
Oh my, this could have been so much more, the car woo, another wannabe Hasslehoff and an appearance by the ole soak himself (looking as if he can barely stand without a support). Sorry this is absolute poop, given which I’m sure UK TV will buy the option on the entire series.
HEROES SEASON 2 – FROM THE FIRES OF HADES
Series 1, didn’t seem much until part way through and then it rocked, but oh my Series 2 is kick ass, Miss It, Miss Out
REAPER – ICELAND and BEJAM ALL ROLLED INTO ONE
The pilot episode was funny, but after 10 minutes every episode is the same, Garbage
