Merseyside Nighthawks

Since I was about 7 years old, I have been a big American football fan, especially because my Dad introduced me to the sport and I connected straight away. Since that time, my team has become the Green Bay Packers, with their green and yellow (gold) jerseys, part of the fan gear is a cheesehead and the fact that they were the very first team I remember watching, they just caught my eye I am still a huge fan of my beloved Packers. 

I am so pleased that American football has grown in popularity over this side of the pond, with the recent Wembley games and more and more leagues and teams forming over here. My local British American football team is a team called the Merseyside Nighthawks, which until last week, I had went to watch once and it unfortunately turned out to be a dire game, ending in a 0-0 scoreline. Fortunately, last weekend it was much different! The Nighthawks defeated the Chester Romans by an awesome score of 47-13! A good butt kicking to say the least! It was a joy watching them not only because they played so well, but also I watched them with the company of my Dad and we even met some other American football fans. The Nighthawks are now 4-0 and are hoping to get promoted into the top league in Britain. I will be rooting for them this season and it was great to see American football in Liverpool!

Let's Go Nighthawks!

(By the way, the Nighthawks are the team in black and red)

Always Great To Hear and See!

As my friends and family will concur, I often say 'Happy Days' whenever something good happens or even if I am just in a pleasant mood, maybe too often at times. Anyway, I was outside work last week and noticed a van across the road with these very two words printed on one side of it! I was ecstatic with joy and took a picture almost immediately, sad I know, but that is me! I always believe that saying something positive is much better than saying something negative and can even be encouraging to someone who is having a tough day. A simple smile and good thoughts makes one feel good on the inside and you shine on the outside too!




The Best Bangers and Mash Ever? At least best looking?



I enjoy going to this pub not too far from me called The Priory, not because it is a lovely pub in terms of furniture, entertainment, good quality range of drinks and friendly bar staff, but also it serves delicious food. In the past, I have mainly eaten the all the breakfast although I wanted a change, and there is always plenty good options to choose from. I decided, after much deliberation (not too serious obviously, I am not that bad) to go for bangers and mash, a traditional and classic British dish in my opinion. The description read 'Lincolnshire sausages and mash with peas and a Yorkshire pudding. Now, I believed that they would all come separate, but oh no, to my surprise, the sausages, mash and peas, with some gravy, were INSIDE a giant Yorkshire pudding! Yes, you read correctly, a massive Yorkshire pudding. I was in awe, does not take much, and so I had to take a picture. It tasted fantastic and as you can see here, looked fantastic too!




Cool Classic Cars

I have recently seen two cars that have stood out like a sore thumb, but in the good way because they are vintage cars. Even though I am not the biggest fan of these cars in terms of driving one any time soon, I know that my Dad is the opposite. So, I took a photo of each of these cars and wanted to put a post up of them to celebrate their classic class. Any fans of these cars? If so, what is your all time top classic car?
