Olympic Games 2012 : London – The XXX Olympiad! Let the Games Begin!

Let the games begin!

After a tremendous opening ceremony last night I just thought I would say ‘Happy Olympic Games Everyone,’ good luck to all the competitors from every nation, good luck to all their families, friends, teams and coaches. Everyone deserves to come home with gold, however that can’t happen, so remember this you have made it! Well done and have fun.

Oh and Come On Team GB, especially everyone competing from Northern Ireland!

And finally if I get any good tips or value bets I’ll let you know, and before I forget, damn isn’t Jessica Ennis hot as hell!

Jessica Ennis - Look what Team GB have!

Extreme Stunt Show Gallery – Sunday 10th June 2012

Well the Extreme Stunt Show has left Northern IReland after a flat out tour of the Country. So I think it is safe enough for me to put the picks up now, without the chances of spoiling it for anyone.

If however you are in Europe elsewhere and the show hasn’t reached you, you may want to look away now…

Coming Soon – Extreme Stunt Show Gallery

If you live in Northern Ireland you have without a doubt seen the posters up in every town across the country for this ‘Extreme Stunt Show.’  I was really dubious about how a stunt show could be mobile and good, I had a vision of a poor circus, with people who couldn’t give a ^*&?> about the show, and well it’s mobile so how can it be any good.  Regardless I went to the Extreme Stunt Show more out of curiosity to see how bad it could be.

And I am happy to say I was WRONG!  This is a great day, with really skilled guys doing really crazy things!  If you get the chance to go, do so and you’ll enjoy it.  I mean skilled and crazy, and that’s a damn good combination!

I have a full Gallery to share in relation to this and a video!  WOO HOO! Yes indeed a video!  Now it is my first attempt at a video so don’t expect too much, but it is just a taster.

Finally there is a good chance these guys will have left Northern Ireland by the time the Gallery and video are up, so once again if you get the chance to go check them out, do it, and then come back here to remember it!

Oh and as you will see I got a glorious sunny day, actually got a little burnt, but with the crazy ass weather we are getting at the moment, keep you fingers crossed for a nice day, as with any outdoor event I can imagine the rain could really put a dampener on things!

Oh and if you are not in Northern Ireland I believe these guys are touring Europe all summer long!

Full Gallery and Video COMING SOON!

Harmony Hill Car Show : Lisburn : 12/05/2012

2012 is Year Six for the Harmony Hill Car Show.  It is set up and run by a friendly little chap called the ‘Weed‘ and although it is a strange name, the work he does is good.  Harmony Hill is a Charity Show all the cars enter and pay a fee (£10) and Spectators are FREE!  Although of course they too can donate to the charity and profits from the BBQ go towards the charity too.

One noticeable thing about the Harmony Hill show is that it somehow gets the weather!  And a good car show needs good weather, and this is always a good show!

Please check out the full gallery of over 190 photos on our NICruisin.com FaceBook page, and like it too if you want, there is literally thousands of photos documenting the Northern Irish Cruise scene since the late 1990s right up to now!

As promised here is my little post on Northern Ireland’s Festival of Speed.  I won’t labour on and on about it though, just check out the pics for a pretty concise series of events for the day.

Remembering that this was the first such event in Northern Ireland on such a scale.  And to be fair for a first attempt it was a really good day.

The events were great:

Gadget Show Live – 15/04/2012

Well I am leaving the hub of Northern Ireland at Stupid O’Clock in the morning and heading for the NEC in Birmingham were I will be attending the Gadget Show Live, and more importantly getting a glimpse at Suzi Perry!

I will be tweeting live from the event so make sure you follow me @TomBoyNI and I’m sure I’ll have a lot more to say about it when I return home, so watch this space!

Have you get the “Unable to Purchase” error on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch when you try to update, or purchase apps from the AppStore?   The error looks like this : Although maybe not as bad, as I have 56 Errors!

The name of the app and the number of “other items” will of course be different from person to person, and over time the number of “other items” will also increase.

Wrestlemania XXVIII – 01/04/2012

Well Wrestlmania returns this evening for its 28th main event.

Wrestlemania is the big one and to be honest I think I stopped having any interest in the WWE (or WWF as I remember it) about 15 years, or more, ago.

I am a fan from the era of Hulk Hogan, the Ultimate Warrior, Macho Man Randy Savage, Tatanka, and Hacksaw Jim Duggan. In fact I think u have the WWF Album featuring these guys somewhere on a cassette!

However my Dad is a big fan. He is always caught out watching it and recently when I have been over visiting I have to say I have been glad to see it come on. It is simply good quality harmless fun. Obviously it is fake which is the guy of all the mon believers, but the WWE don’t even claim it to be real. It is entertainment and I think they are doing a better job at entertaining us than the majority of soaps and sit-coms at present.

Unfortunately tonight though I won’t be able to watch it as it starts here at 00:00. I have to be in work at 07:00 so thats not going to work.

All I can say is if you are lucky enough to get to see it tonight, leave your brain at the door and enjoy.

Finally – Come on the Rock and Undertaker. Do it for the old school! And Mr Undertaker Sir let’s make it 20 – 0.

Hopefully I’ll catch the reply when they take it off pay per view.

Oh and America, let’s play fair, and make these big events for Saturdays. Us guys in Europe have to get up and earn the crust in Monday mornings. We can do that if the WWE has kept us awake all Sunday night!

The Rock and Undertaker for the win!
