While I was back in Yorkshire at the weekend went to Ashley Godbers 40th birthday at Beverley Race Course along with Jase and Nev.

The evening was a pretty good one, saw a few people from my years knocking around Nellies such as Nicky, Fiona to name a few, had a few drinks round some of our old Beverley haunts like Nellies, Corner House, Green Dragon and tried a few new pplaces that have sprung up. but the highlight of the evening had to be after we’d dropped Nev off at home and were making our way towards Jase’s parents house in Sutton.

What was the highlight ?
Well we decided to pop by Spiders NiteClub and say hello to any of the original doorstaff who might still be working there (in this case all of them), after saying hello and catching up we were allowed in for free to have a wonder about the place and boy has it changed, they’ve opened up lots of new spaces for people to get pissed and congregate in, but the real highlight was seeing Roger in his usaul spot in the main corridor of Spiders all done up for Halloween . .

Roger if your reading this don’t ever change :)

FIT WITH THE OLD FOLKS!

Members from a Manchester based Age Concern group turn to the Wii Fit to help keep active

Members from Out in the City, a local Age Concern group have struck upon a novel way of keeping fit.  Leisurely walks, bowls and swimming have been usurped in favour of a new hi-tech training tool – the Wii Fit.

Four members, aged in their late 50s, 60s and 70s, visited the new wireless lite Carphone Warehouse store at the Trafford Centre this week and were given a demonstration in the popular game.

After the demonstration, the store donated the Wii Fit console and game to Age Concern so that members will regularly be able to use the different Wii fitness games, helping to keep themselves active and agile.

Thanks to the games console, they will now be able to regularly participate in Tai Chi, fitness programmes and can even monitor their posture and BMI.  For those wanting something a little more strenuous, snowboarding, skiing and dance classes are the order of the day!

Jane Barcoe of Age Concern said, “The members love keeping active and doing something different!  This is a great gift from The Carphone Warehouse and I’m sure we’ll have no shortage of people who want to use the Wii Fit.  This is a really innovative way to help our members interact and keep fit!”

Neil Sears, Store Manger of  The Carphone Warehouse at the Trafford Centre, said, “Technology can be a great way to connect with other people and in this instance a perfect way to keep fit too.  The range of technology on the market is expanding, and age shouldn’t be a barrier so our aim is to breakdown the walls and make gadgets simple for everyone.”

The ‘wireless lite’ Carphone Warehouse at the Trafford Centre offers a wider range of mobile communications such as laptops and gaming products too.  The store is one of four to be trialled across England and offering a new format, with expert advice and counsel given on all manner of high-tech issues and gadgets.

Manchester to Market Weighton in 2 minutes & 56 seconds

Published by Vince under Daily Post, Videos, time lapse movies

Drove across to Market Weighton on Friday night and thought I’d set up the time-lapse camera on the car and do a night time-lapse of the journey along the M62 Motorway from Manchester and heres the result

Quite liking how the rain hitting the camera at the end of the trip makes it sort of trippy, got a few more to add over the next few days of our holiday in Dorset and Cornwall, so keep checking back for some more timelapse trips
