Morrisey's London 2012 and 4x4's

What an amazing opening ceremony that was last night. I think all blogs throughout internet land must be referencing it in one way or another! It generally exceeded all expectations for me, and had more to it than one large dance routine that Beijing put on 4 years ago...

Here's the blog - expect Olympics dashed throughout! (predictable I know)

Great job Morrisey!

The man played a blinder last night. It went without a hi... What? It wasn't Morrisey? Who the hell is Danny Boyle?!

(See, I told you!)

Sorry Danny... Great Britain is proud of what happened in London last night - nice one!

The 4x4 Girls

My favourite part of visiting Tesco on a Saturday night is the distinct lack of decent parking spaces... and yes, it's due to mothers with 4x4's angled across the white lines. Is there a spark up there somewhere that says: "Oh my gosh, we are starting a family and our BMW isn't sufficient for a child seat - let's spend the pocket money on a 4x4". There's no offroad involved in picking up bread and milk 3 days a week - you look like a turd.

Medals

Okay I really hope I'm wrong here... but with things going so well at the ceremony, there could be a horrible anti-climax just around the corner. The fact that Mark Cavendish (who we all expected to win Gold) came somewhere in amongst the crowd at the finishing line is quite disturbing. I just hope after getting the attention of the entire country we don't see a massive let down. Come on GB! And let's face it, no other country (is there really one called Turkleton?) held their flag aloft like the mighty Hoy! Cool. Dude.

Enjoy the games or a drunken dancefloor session!

Dirty Harry, the Games and reaching distance

I am now out back on the blog (yes I said blog) because... I'VE SEEN BATMAN!!

Go ahead... Make my day

It's the Euromillions tonight along with the millionaire raffle. And my first lucky dip has thrown up some of my favourite numbers! Here's today's choice of tee to give me the best possible chance...

(Feeling lucky? - stylodelicdave on instagram)

The Dark Knight Rises

Amazing film... So glad I can come out from under my rock now and get my Batman geek on! You get everything you want, and more from start to the end. Bane is a perfect villain to follow the Joker. Did I not say Anne Hathaway would be good?? She nailed it (in an awesome costume too... I'm in love).

Oh and @morjaz6364 brought this guy to my attention. His name is Josh Bruce, and he does some sweet illustrations of the characters from the film,  amongst other cool stuff - check out his site: Redbubble

Reaching Distance

For me, and probably every other 20-something male on the planet, your happiness at home is pretty much hanging by a thin thread known simply as... Reaching Distance. Even the other end of the couch is too far for the remote to find itself... and as for my phone charger... I'll just let it drain out.

"The Games"

Okay so Glasgow is an 'Olympic City', but I can't help but  notice literally no excitement at all. I think there's probably more concern about the price of Buckfast than the cost of tickets for the games - though it did put me off going to see the Spain game yesterday.


Have a great Friday night all - much love,

Stylodelic expands and time for lunch

So I can only apologise for being in hiding recently. This has been to avoid ANY Batman chat, as I'm heading to see it with the bro later in the week... also partially due to a ton of beer on Friday night that took out about 24 hours of my life. Here's the blog.

Making it to lunch

I find taking a 1pm lunch has it's pros and cons.

Pros - Short afternoon
Cons - stuffing my face with chewing gum from 11am to 12.45pm is the only way I can get to this time without munching the entire contents of the fridge. Mint-tastic.

Just try eating a Tuna Mayo baguette with Wrigley's Extra in your mouth..... Boak. Mission accomplished.

Stylodelic expands!

When I created Stylodelic and put my portfolio live online, some swine had already registered "stylodelic.com". Well no more landing on the wrong site, as today I am delighted to have purchased www.stylodelic.com to add to .co.uk and .net! Surely world domination is not far off... What? I am not getting ahead of myself.

Steampunk

I want a cake like this for my birthday! Check the detail on that icing! I'd feel bad eating it, but that wouldn't stop me as I peel the little guys face off first. Great work from Sweet Disposition Cakes (opens Flickr)

 I did however notice that this cake is for a 4 year-old... pretty sure a caterpillar cake from Tesco would have done the trick.

Well as you can tell from the food orientated post... I am hungry as hell, and am now going to get stuff my face.

Ciao,

Castles, Special needs and Tron

That's funny... I didn't think I'd purchased a castle to live in, but there seems to be a permanent moat outside my front door and back door when I step outside. Is anyone else really hacked off with this at the moment? Argh... I'll brave it and here goes tonight's blog.

Ergh, it's a.......

Not a torn up Mr Motivator shellsuit... but the Paralympics 2012 logo. Seriously now, we are all behind the Paralaympics, yet with this design it seems like they are trying to turn the rest of us 'special' to gain more a bigger following. If you look at it long enough, you lose the majority of your brain cells... come on now! Who hired these people?

Talc

I saw @ivorysmoke mentioning talcum powder earlier on Twitter, and feeling like a 5 year old when using it. I'm trying to remember when I grew out of it... must've been around that age. If only my parents had been irresponsible and let me watch Scar Face at that age, I would have been covering everything in the stuff! That's possibly why they didn't... #TinyTonyMontana

Tron

So if you've seen Tron Legacy, this will make perfect sense... DOWN-LOAD-THE-SOUND-TRACK. It's possibly the best soundtrack to a film for the past decade. If the story of Tron hasn't grasped you in to watch it on Sky Movies (it's on all the time), then Daft Punk's amazing album should do the trick. It really chilled me out after a long day today!

So that's all tonight guys, more to come tomorrow. If you'd like to see my attempt at the London 2012 logo, it's on instagram (stylodelicdave) or follow me on Twitter (username below).

Much love,

Mondays over - time to start the week

Hey all. It's Tuesday already. Or #teasday (check out Teasday blog) as some may call it - mugs out! I write this while stuffing my face with a McD's, the obvious choice after leaving my salad in the fridge this morning.

More Posing

If you checked out the blog yesterday you'll have seen the Pose app being featured - well the guys @Pose have informed me that it's not just for the ladies, any of you fashion conscious chaps can post and tag your threads on there too! Let me know if you do and I'll feature you in the blog!

(This was Pete Burns first attempt at Pose. Should see his latest ones.... cringe.)

Pizza the Action

I've been caught on camera being a mentalist. Fortunately it's not anything that can see me put behind bars, but I may end up in a padded cell for being overly excited in the following clip:

Mexican wave for Domino's. (opens in youtube)

The whole Mexican wave thing is for the launch of a new Mexican Domino's pizza. It tasted great - try it out!

Mark Watson

This guy is hilarious. He's playing at Funny in Falkirk this month, the new (last couple of years) comedy festival for Central Scotland. I've just got tickets for Mark Watson. The guy is hilarious! You can get tickets for just £10 here! (itison.com). 



Don't say I'm not good to you!


Much love,

Strike a Pose, more Instagram and Catwoman

It's a short one tonight as I must dash off to 5-a-sides! And yes, as this is a very style orientated blog, I still wear my hair band on the pitch....... Swiftly moving on.

What a night. Perfect for some Onestage A.M. (instagram) action. Took a few snaps on the walk home. It's days like this that living on the canal front is amazing. I love it.

Strike a Pose

It's not one for us lads I'm afraid, but none the less I thought it was a great idea and the girls could well go mad for it. It's called Pose. Basically upload a picture of yourself in your threads for a night on the town, and it allows you to tag all of your outfit, from topshop top, to Schuh shoes. Looks really cool - might do an Eddie Izzard and give it a try...

Download it now: Pose.com

Catwoman

Now I'd always have been looking forward to the 3rd of these Batman films, but the return of Catwoman (lets forget Halle Berry ever happened) is going to be amazing. Anne Hathaway looks stunning here! Fingers crossed her part is written in properly... if the Joker and Two Face are anything to go by, she'll be awesome. Tom Hardy is a favourite of mines also - so hurry up and arrive at the IMAX Batman!

I'm off to score some legendary goals (pant at the side of the pitch), have a great night guys,

Burgers, smartphones and Indiana Jones

Hey guys, a couple of blogs light this week and it's down to playing on my new gadget - a Samsung Galaxy S3. I know the Apple lovers will shun me for my switch of allegiance, but at the end of the day, I now have the superior phone! Mwuhahahahaaa. Ahem, let's get started...

Flipboard

This is a really cool app that allows you to view your Twitter feed, Facebook timeline (yes all the pictures of people you hardly know's babies etc) and all the latest Style, Design, Sport news and a lot more - in one place. Just works really well and looks great too.

Check it out here (opens in new window)

Lunch in Glasgow

Who cares if you're trying to eat healthy, you give it all up for a fat b*stard lunch on a Friday. Well I do anyway - and this past week saw Strata on Queen Street act as the pleasuredome. It's the first time I've been in, and I'd give it a thumbs up. Sleek interior, decent service and good food. Try the burgers...

(Shaky - it was my first attempt with the new cam!)

Boxing

So I haven't seen any of the fall out from the Haye v Chisora match last night (mostly due to a hangover coma) but it looked pretty good through my beer goggles at the time! I think my favourite part was the throwing of punches... there's not enough of it in boxing these days, mostly men in little shorts hugging a lot.

Harrison Ford

After watching The Temple of Doom earlier today, I'll keep this one short and sweet. Indiana Jones. Han Solo. The Fugitive. Bladerunner... The man's a legend.

Looking forward to what should be an interesting week... have a good one!
