Ok, just to give you a little back story....

Tesco is a supermarket chain in the UK and it huge! They are all over the place and plan to take over the world. Denmark is next on the list.....as this film shows. :P







British nom!

So we heard though the Vejle grape-vine (thanks Tamsin!) that Super-Best was selling British and American products as some sort of special promo. I deicided to pop down after work today and see what treats could be had......and I was blown away with excitement!


This is the glitzy set up for the international section in Super Best.
Classy.

Salad Cream: Not had this in a long time...nor salad come to think of it.

Hellmann's Mayo: GIVE ME A SPOON!!!
This ones not to hard to find in DK, but it's a little hit and miss so I grab it when I can.

Heinz Beanz: add toast or baked potato....nuff said.

Ambrosia Custard: Yes I can make custard, but this is a real taste of my childhood.


Branston Pickle: You CAN NOT have a cheese sandwich without it.

Cadberys Fudge: Not something I would normally buy, guess I just got
whipped up in the buying frenzy....but still tasty. :)

Cadbery's Fruit & Nut: I would fight you to the death for this.

Tetly Tea: I'm an English man...what more do you want?!

Dont get me wrong, I'm not one of those English men who go to another country and not eat their food. I like lots of Danish food (Cake!!!!) but you can't beat a good taste of home every now and again. :)

No more wind!

After 3 long tattoo sessions with Judd the background (swirling wind) is done!!!!

As great as it looks we were both glad to get this part of the sleeve over with. We hit a lot of tricky areas today what with it going up into the armpit and all over the shoulder. I had to get myself in some odd positions so he could do his work.

Now that its done we can get on with some nice colour work. :)




Nice!

Sweet!

Awsome!...but thank god it's over. :)

The pain!....oh! the pain!

Its going to be another painful few days. :(

Today I went to the dentist to have by brace adjusted, last time I had some rubber bands put in to help give me an over bite......now I have even more! They need to widen my bite on the top, so when I go to bed I have to put 4 bands in my mouth. Thats not going to make for a great nights sleep. :/

On a side note, my dentist moved and stated her own place called 'Den Glade Smil' right round the corner from me. It all very col and new on the inside, but their shop sign could do with some jazzing up.


Looks like a piece of A4 paper tapped to the door.


Looks like Xmas is truly here, all the lights and decorations have gone up in town. I never feel ready for the Xmas but I am sooooo looking forward to a break.



Tomorrow I am off for another session with Judd in Kph, so thats another early morning train ride....while in pain...to get tattooed and be in more pain. Man, this better all be worth it.

Hear me roar!!!.....or talk.

Hello blog readers!

So fame in Japan escaped me (i will have my day!) but fame in other parts of the world is still a possibility thanks to an interview I did the other week for 'Behind the Helm'.

This is a series of interviews conducted by two LEGO Pirate fans who live in Australia and are rather active in the fan AFOL (Adult Fans Of LEGO) community. Being Classic Pirate fans they tend to interview people who have something to do with LEGO Pirates, which I do, but they also like to talk to LEGO designers, which I am.

There is an Audio file which will allow you to hear my voice, I will not be listerning to it for just that reason because like all people I hate my voice. Thankfully Izzy (one of the interviewers) took the time to type it all out.

You will have to cut and paste because I can't turn this into a link for some reason...sorry.

Updateings.

Ello peeps!!

Hope your all enjoying your weekend, i'm sure you earnt it.

Work has still been full on over the past few days, so much so I am having to go in on a Sunday just to get some building done in peace. Oh well.

In more interesting news, Movember is going well. The LEGO design team is starting to look like extras from some sort of 70's cop show. I'm tempted to put lots of cardboard box's around the place so we can have fist fights and dive into them. I'm actually getting use to the tash', kind of goes with my new hair cut.


Less hair on my head and more on my face.
I guess it all evens out somehow.

In other work related news, I got some new business cards. I chose to have the Knight and the Pirate on mine as I worked on those products lines.

Them's me boys!

At work we have a canteen, nothing amazing about that I guess, I'm assuming most of you have a canteen at work....but do they make Fish Cake? No, no, not the nice Thi style cakes you get in resturants, this is a big ass cake made from fish and prawns and covered in mayo. I had heard about this when I frst started at LEGO, its an almost mythical story around LEGO but I had never seen one before....until Friday that is.

WTF!?

Tattoo is healing well and starting to even-out a little, the fresh part was looking very black compared to the forearm. Next sit is on the 26th, so not long before the wind and shading is all done.

Loving it!

Got to blow off a little steam on Friday night, me and my buddy Mike went to see Behemoth and DevilDriver in Aarhus. Not a big amount of bands make it over to Denmark, so when a band worth seeing comes along you can bet i'll be there!

Cant remember this bands name, they were an extra band added to the bill last minute and given the task of kicking off the show...pointy guitars!

Scar Symatry....even pointyer guitars and two singers.



DevilDriver with Dez 'the man' Faffara....amazing
band and best of the night.


Behemoth, leather, corps paint and no smiles but lots
of double pedal drumming. Thats all good with me.


Little Mike Fuller....little man's had a busy day.

It just sounds wrong!

At present I am in bed unable to sleep, its been a crazy day work wise so my head is a buzz...plus I had a shower before bed which was very much needed but has woken me up a little. So what do board people do? surf the net thats what!

After catching up on all the sites and blogs I follow I decided to Google myself (it just sounds soooo wrong!) I must say its not somthing I do often but one cant help but have a peek every now and again to see where you might pop up....and pop up I did.

It seems I am sooo "trendy" I was worthy of a mention on trendhunter.com. They seemed to like my photography which is nice. :)

Its an odd feeling stumbling upon this stuff and reading about yourself and work from the view point of somebody else.
