Marrakech 2010 retrospective.. I wish we were here!

haha, my housemate Jay nicked these to wear as slippers- when I bought them my shoe had actually fallen apart (the yellow ones I decorated with glow in the dark paint when we were camping..) so haggling for a good deal was out of the question- the market seller asked "shoes for house or shoes for market?" clearly, I chose market.

Jay remembered this when he slipped over on the landing and fell one flight of stairs.

"shoes for market, not for house".

I don't know which of us was more confused.

Drying dyed wools in the market.

Crazy house!

I was mooching on rightmove looking for something sensible in the cardiff area- I'll be staying here for a while, but there is no harm it looking- and getting a feel for price- basicly very much cheaper than the south of england!

This is a CF11 postcode (Grangetown) and its a bit pricey (You can have 3 bedrooms for that in splott, trafforest, tremorfa or the rubbish end of roath!) but it certainly has a quirky charm.

Cute from the outside, reasonable looking one bedroom house- or so I thought...



Kitchen..compact, homely..


Adorable sitting room..or is it?



no, its a DEATH DEFYING bedroom. WHAT?!
that's mental.
I had to look at the picture twice to fully register it..I was not expecting that.

it's awesome..but just a tiny bit impractical..what do you do if you need the loo in the night?! what if you've had one too many? I guess you just sleep on the sofa or something... and is there a max weight limit?

and yes, I know it's impractical..,and in the wrong country.. but I kinda want it..anyone want to give me  £85,000?

I hope whoever buys this loves it very much and is a tee total model sized person with excellent balance.

FA Cup

Traff and I went to put our bets on in Betfred whilst we were in town, since it's the 3rd round of the FA cup- so all the big teams are now involved. I've ben on:
to win:
brighton to beat Wrexham.
Bristol Rovers to beat Aston Villa
Derby to beat Crystal Palace
Hull to beat Ipswich
Norwich to beat Burnley
Tranmere to beat Brentford
Oxford  to beat Aldershot

and watford V Bradford to be a draw.

Please can someone with Sky let me know if I win my £935.16 for my accumulator?


Traff bet against Norwich! (he said they always do rubbish) his accumulator is a bit less fanciful than mine- if his comes off he wins £150. 


And just incase you have no idea what I'm on about:

The Football Association Challenge Cup, commonly known as the FA Cup, is a knockout cup competition in English football and is the oldest association football competition in the world.The "FA Cup" is run by and named after the Football Association and usually refers to the English men's tournament, although a women's tournament is also held. Its current sponsored name is the FA Cup with Budweiser.

The FA Cup was first held in 1871–72. Entry is open to all teams who compete in the Premier League, the Football League and in steps one to five of the FA National League System, as well as selected teams in step 6. This means that clubs of all standards compete, from the largest clubs in England and Wales down to amateur village teams. The tournament has become known for the possibility for "minnows" from the lower divisions to become "giant-killers" by eliminating top clubs from the tournament and even theoretically win the Cup, although lower division teams rarely progress beyond the early stages.

Belgian hot chocolate

Just what the doctor ordered after a slightly mental day!

It's amazing- you get a solid square of chocolate on a stick which you stand in a mug, boil some milk pour it on and give it a stir = AMAZING genuinely chocolaty hot chocolate!
