24 Hour Panto.

The Network 24 hour panto has been completed for the third year going and was my first year participating in. This years panto was Peter Pan in which i played the role of John.

The panto started at 8pm on  the sunday where we started to brainstorm ideas around Peter Pan and the story. The rest of the cast left shortly after bar 5 members who stayed back to write the script.

The next morning i was up at 6.30am for a 7am start at the panto. After creeping around the house not waking the house up i arrived at the quarry to a script pretty much complete. The script still needed a few adjustments to it so in the mean time we learned the first dance to the opening of the panto. As we were doing a run through of the script we happy to see sight of bacon sandwiches which we were promised the night before.

The rest of the morning consisted of many run throughs of the panto and the learning of dances and songs where at 12pm we were sent away for some lunch and to return at the church hall where we were to perform our panto.

The afternoon was much the same as the morning just with more tired people, sound and lighting, which the tech guys started to put up the previous night at in the morning to. At 4pm we did our first dress rehearsal which went well and just managed to fit another one in before 6.30pm when the audience was aloud to enter the church hall.

The show itself went really well with a good reaction from the audience and those that did participate. I look forward to next years.

2012.

2012 is finally upon us and what a year 2011 was for me. The highlight of 2011 for me was the World Scout Jamboree in Sweden which was simply the best 3 weeks ever! (you can read about my experience on this very blog) 2011 was also the third of Operation Twilight which is put on by my county and third time lucky i won the biggest man hunt competition in Northumberland. The final event which was big for me was my 18th birthday!

So now what does 2012 have in store for us ? Well to start with i'm taking part in my first 24 hour panto where we write rehearse and perform a panto in 24 hours (A post about how the event went will be posted). Then there is olympicmarra which is a big scout camp for the whole of Northumberland Scouts. Then there are the real olympics which are happening this summer. I'm lucky enough to be going but not to any of the big events just the football which some games are being played at St James' Park.

I'm sure there will also be more events coming up throughout the year which i'll keep you posted about.

The Festive Period.

I hope you all had a good christmas ? I sure did and santa was kind to me yet again for another year. Christmas dinner once again was divine and made by my dad like it is every year, photo of some of the food to follow.

Boxing day was also good as my family and another family who we are good mates with went down to the pub to watching the boxing day football in which we won, for the first time since 1989. incase you were wondering we won 0-2 against Bolton away.

Christmas.

Christmas is a week away! So who is getting excited ?? I'm not really that excited at the moment but i'm in the christmas spirit.

Favourite part about christmas ? i don't really have a favourite part about christmas i guess the presents are a good positive. I also like the food at christmas think my favourite would have to be pigs in blankets!

Newcastle V Chelsea.

The game started off well for Newcastle with Demba Ba getting through on a pass made to him only to be stopped by last man david Luiz, who only got a yellow card for him clumsy challenge which denied Ba maybe an other goal to add to his tally. Chelsea stretched the Newcastle left back position with Daniel Sturridge getting past far to easily but not being able to beat Tim Krul of Newcastle post, Sturridge, also forcing a penalty from Yohan Cabaye but Frank Lampard couldn't put chelsea into the lead from another great stop from Tim Krul. Newcastle created to good goal scoring opportunities only to be stopped by the chelsea post on Petr Cech. The chelsea goal coming just before half time was an interesting on from the newcastle faithful with a throw in though to be wrongly given but the quick thinking from Juan Mata putting in a cross for Didier Drogba to head the blues into the lead just before half time. 

The second half newcastle made many good goal scoring opportunities to level the score line but couldn't beat that man again Petr Cech and that chelsea cross bar and when they did beat both from a Sammy Ameobi volley John Terry was waiting on the line to stop the equaliser. Chelsea tried though out the second half to add to there one goal lead and sadly didn't manage to do so until the 89th minute with Salomon Kalou getting the second and shortly after Daniel Sturridge managed to beat Tim Krul making the final score 0-3 to the visitors.

Apart from the football Newcastle United made respects to Gary Speed who sadly left the world of football. The 42 year made 213 appearances for the club scoring 29 goals which is impressive and it wasn't just his performance on the pitch off the pitch he was known as a good guy and a real icon in the game of football. It come to more of a shock as he was currently manager of the wales national team and was slowly bringing some good to the country.

Gang show.

The week of the show is upon us with with a technical rehearsal complete today and then the dress rehearsal tomorrow evening.

The show starts tuesday and run every night up to Saturday with a show on the Saturday afternoon.

The show has many sketches, dances and songs.

For tickets to see the show visit ticketmarster or go to the Whitley bay playhouse and purchase them there.

St James' Park.

Once again Newcastle united in the news again for all the wrong reasons. The world famous stadium St James' Park was striped of the name and turned into The sports direct arena. Apart from the horrible name he has also took away a lot of history from the club.

As you can imagine this didn't go down well with the Geordie faithful with the fans once again unhappy with Mike Ashley's decisions at the club.

In 09/10 season Mike Ashley sold the naming rights to name of the stadium, the same year the toon where in the championship. Things started to look up for Newcastle with promotion and winning the championship.

The 10/11 season started well with chris houghton taking the club at christmas but shortly after left the club for reason people still don't undertsand why. The january transfer window didn't turn out well with star striker andy carrol being sold on the last day of the window for a record 35 million pounds. The season end with Newcastle finish 12th.

Mike ashley said after we sold andy Carroll that we would see the 35 million did we ? No we didn't. We saw the departure of captain kevin Nolan and star left back Jose Enrique leave St James' park for 5 and 6 million and then joey Barton leave on a free transfer. We did see the arrival of Yohan Cabaye for around 5 million and Obertan for around 4 million pounds and that was the most we saw of the 35 million.

So far Newcastle are unbeaten in the premier league and things were going really well on Tyneside until that man again mike Ashley decided to stir things up by selling the naming rights to the stadium to the sports direct arena. I don't think you can fit any more sports direct logos on the stadium even if you tried.

Chilly times.

Monday morning has to have been the coldest day of the week so far with temperatures reach below 0 for the first time this winter.

Newcastle V Everton.

Saturday was a good result for the mighty toon army in one of there best starts to the premier league in the time that I can remember.

An own goal from Everton to open the scoring. The own goal could have been prevent if the defender had of left it as Tim Howard was ready to collect the ball and Demba Ba not looking to getting the ball. After the own goal it put Newcastle in the driving seat with Everton creating a few chances.

Newcastle made it 2-0 not long after with a superb strike from Ryan Taylor from outside the box putting it in the top left hand corner out of reach from Tim Howard. That goal making it his second in the premier league and a second superb goal with his first being a free kick against Sunderland.

Everton got a goal back in stoppage time in the first Half with headed goal from Jack Rodwell.

The second half was a bit of nail biter with Everton making chance but unable to be Tim Kurl for the second time. Newcastle also made chances of there own.

The game ended 2-1 to Newcastle which put them second in the league until Manchester beat Sunderland.

Stoke V Newcastle.

Tonight Newcastle were away to Stoke. Stoke is normally a hard place to travel to and will give the big teams a run for there money.

I've only seen the four goals scored this evening, three of which came from Newcastle front man demba ba, so I can't really comment on the rest of the match. But I must say out of the four goals ba's first goal a header from 6yards out and the ball slightly behind him was my favourite goal from the match. Ba made his three goals from tonight his second hat-trick this season making him Newcastle's top goal scorer

The three points from this evenings game takes Newcastle ahead of Chelsea and in to third on twenty two points out of a possible thirty from the first ten games so far.
