Ride Accidents

We are thinking of going to Alton towers very shortly and I am thinking of changing my mind after coming across this web site RideAccidents.com.

I thought that ride accidents would be rare it looks like every week something goes wrong.  A 13 year old girl lost her legs last week when a power tower cable snapped.

Its got me worried about going on theme rides again!

NHL : O2 Dome

The NHL are coming to London's O2 Dome in September with the Anaheim Ducks and LA Kings.  The Anaheim Ducks won the Stanley Cup last week, I wonder if they will be brining the cup to London for the start of the new season. I am not sure if it just sits in the hockey hall of fame in Toronto or if that is a replica! (quick Google search say: The MCI Great Hall houses the Stanley Cup, with either the current cup on display (if not traveling) or a replica on display.)

Hockey fans in the UK may be able to get a photo with the cup?

Glasgow West End Festival

We missed this last year due to coming home from Canada on the day that the street party was on.  This year with nothing planned and the weather being ok we took a walk down to byers road to be met by a mass of people, never expected it to be this busy!

All in was a good day caught a number of bands and drunk some cider, cant go wrong with that on a Sunday afternoon.  The Festival runs for a while longer with all sorts of bits and bobs on.  Might try and catch a few bands before it ends.  Never took a camera as mine is a but clunky these days but you can check out Paul's photos over at his blog.
