my_friends

This part of the site is meant to show you the people that i refer to in other parts of the site so as to help people understand what the hell i'm talking about.

The pictures on the left are of my good friend and bassist Andy Logan who is amongst other things a student at Edinburgh University and the writer of the infamous Mcmonkey and cheese comic strip which i may bother scanning in as soon as the scanner chills out. Andy's a really cool guy and if you bump into him and Edinburgh say hi from me and i'll bet he'll be really happy for it.

These two pictures are of my friend Abbie. She is one of a group of friends i have in Wales and is an amazingly nice and genuine person. I am of the belief that the friends i have in Wales are some of the most honest and best i have. These pictures were from new year 2004 and the one of the rght was in Beck's now non-existant caravan that had seen more than enough partys

This is a picture of Dan Crocker, another of my friends from Wales and one of the people i spend most of my time with when i go there. Dan is one of the easiest people to speak to and a fantastic friend to those he likes and a terrible enemy to those who do him wrong. Dan takes great pleasure in punishing those who he feels need it, one instance i can remeber is him throwing D size batteries at a guy then annoucing to the people in the tent "in order to justify this we must put people into two catagories: human and SUBhuman!" Don't let this put you off though because Dan is a really nice guy, not caught up in childish bitching and other dull crap like that. Dan has many other stange aspects to him. He is the only person i know that is so thin that he can tighten a belt around his waste and it wont fit over his head, he is also the only person ever to have an alergic reaction to the robin.

The two people in this picture are also from Wales and are two of my close circle of friends that includes Dan and Abbie. On the left is Evie who was the first of many friends i was going to make in that bizzare country. Evie has been a friend of mine for years and is in regular contact with me.

The person on the left was one of the people who came up for the week surrouding new years 2004 and he is llewelan (please forgive me if thats wrong, i don't get welsh) llew is a really cool guy and is a good friend of Dan's although i haven't seen him since 2004 due to the fact that he is now at University. I really would like to see this guy again because he is a totally decent dude

The picture on the right is Llew again. This photo was taken the morning after a rather immense party so i think it was taken around lunchime when, as you can see, everyone was still in bed. Llew and Dan are very capable computer techs and spend a lot of time messing around online finding new ways to bring down the world as we know it through the internet. They were also very usefull when we went down the mines to do more mapping and found a tunnle that went for miles into the hill. Unfortunately i doubt they will ever see it again due to the fact that the mines are falling apart this very second and i doubt they will be there for much more than a year.

This is Nikki, a great but truely insane friend from Wales who was with us on new years. This picture was taken in my room and you can see my wall to wall posters in the background. Nikki is one of the more gossipy and giggly of my Welsh friends and she seems to spend most of her time with Abbie and Ali (Dan's sister) making up songs about people and laughing at strange jokes about their school teachers. She is however a really good friend and i hope to see her again soon.

This is Shona, one of my best friends in high school and an amazing artist even if she doesn't think so. Shona is however an amazing person to know, allways fun to be with and full of insane witty comments and sheer madness. We seem to have drifted out of contact since leaving school but i am making plans to see her again soon.

These two pictures are from the Welsh visit for new year. You can see Back in the left hand picture at the back as well as evie abbie and Nikki and on the right you can see from the left Evie, Llew and finally Cloud who is an awsome friend though i am sad to say that she was too busy with Silva to see me much the last time i was in Wales

This is Steve, one of my closest circle of friends in Wales and the kindest guy i know. Steve lives in the middle of nowhere in a house attached to an abandoned church and is incredibly cool. Steve is one of the most honorable and noble people i know but he's forever being screwed over by people he trusts and so allways tends to be involved in grude matches with people who used to be his best friends, he usually is right for what he's arguing but right now an argument about him has spilt the group of friends in Wales in half. Hopefully everyone will take Steves side because i believe he is right (even though i'm not sure what the story is). However, anyone seeing this man should run up and say hi from me and he will be very happy i'm sure

These two picturs show Cloud. On the left with Abbie and on the right with Evie. Cloud is a really nice person when she wants to be but can also be truely evil. Though never in a vendictive or asshole-like manner (at least not towards me). The picture on the left was from the amazing cabin party which was officially the most messed up party i have ever been to and i don't think i'll ever meet anyone quite as wasted as some of the people who were at this party. The picture on the bottom right was taken in 'the avenue' in Aberystwyth which is the place where most of my friends hang out. If you go there you may be lucky enough to meet one of Aberystwyth's more unusuall characters: Danny, who is a really nice if damaged boy who is nothing but the most generous and trusting guy ever.

These two guys are Andy and Bleddyn from Wales and are two people i met the second time i went to Wales. Andy is the one on the left and Bleddyn the one on the right. What you see in this picture is these two idiots drinking alcohol that had been rotting in Evie's caravan for many months and had been mixed with unimaginable horrible things such as ronans piss. We tried to tell them but they were far too drunk to care and so kept drinking it. This was one truely hillarious night of drunkeness and cup stacking which ended with everyone passing out in the caravan.

This is my Friend Andy Logan again, this time at the Robin when me and Back went up there to blow up spraypaint cans. This picture was taken in the storage room and you can see the main room and the fireplace in the background. Andy is now living in Edinburgh. This was the night that we put a full can of yellow spraypaint onto the fire and watched it send out a long streak of fire for well over a minute before the can suddenly exploded like a bomb sending pieces of metal flying about the room. We were fortunately hiding behind the door and so were spared a spikey metal ridden death as pieces of white hot spraypaint can rocketed through the air. The spraypaint about the door reads 'OUZO' which was the signiature drink for the party on new years 2004 when we had a whole bottle to drink dispite the fact that the taste was next to unbearable. The bottle was hawever finished by Llew at about 9 the next morning and he then became the first person i know to be drunk at 10 in the morning.

This is another picture of Dan only this time in Evie's caravan back in the days when there still were photos on the walls. This picture is of Dan stabbing a knife into the roof of the caravan the same night that Bleddyn drank that awful concoction of Pimms and piss and all other crap and when we played a game of cups on one un suspecting party goer. You can see Dan here in his long leather coat which has a scar on it from the skin of the cow that it was made from hahaha. Like i said before Dan is an amazing guy and totally honest and decent to the core. Dan was also the inventor of the great practice of Air appretiation which i'm not sure whether he's want me to tell the world so it will be kept as one of the seceret trademarks of our select friend groups.

This is a picture of Evie (on top) force feeding cherry liquer to Abbie on the floor of Evie's living room. The legs you can see belong to probably Bleddyn or maybe cloud but i really can't remember due to the presence of cherry liquer. man i wish i knew how to spell that word. At this point in time Bleddyn was going out with Evie's sister Tara, just a little piece of side information. i think this was the night we spent watching lock stock and two smoking barrels. Good times seem to be a frequent occurance at Evie's house and i can only wish i was at the party that saw over 50 people turn up. From what i've heard it was the most insane party that ever was.

This is a picture of Evie and Seren on the hill next to the avenue. I'm not sure what the building is in the background but i'm sure it's probably got something to do with the University. This was taken back in march or whenever i went down and was the day we spent of the side of that hill getting wasted all day untill i think we finally went to Clouds. Seren is the one in the background with the blonde hair and was at this point going out wth Ronan who i will have in one of these pictures i'm sure. Seren is and interesting and quite fun person so long as your not the focus of her evilness. I saw Seren quite a lot when i went down to wales alst time and she seemed pretty pleasant apart from when she was dealing with Danny. She's not that bad though haha

This is Ronan who has become one of my greatest friends in Wales since i spent a good deal of time with him, dan and steve on my last visit. Ronan is an amazing guy who is well versed in the art of throwing parties and knows how to make it good even down to the music that must be listened to. This picture was taken at the Cabin party and i think that he was pretty wasted at this point. Ronan turned up at about 10 or 11 o clock with a few bottles of cider and a few other things and was the guy who introduced me to a few amazing bands and songs such as the prodigie's Experience album and the band Pendulum who are one of my all time favourite music acts now.

Ronan loves his raves and is allways telling stories of the ones he's been to and in all fairness it sounds very fun indeed.

This picture shows Seren and Calum outside Bwise in Aberystwyth. the two heads belong to Cloud and Evie. i don't really remember what we were doing but i have to say that sitting around town is a very common activity in Aberystwyth. there really isn't much else to do to be quite honest so we spent a lot of time around the bus station meeting everyone that gets off. I only know one person that lives in Aberystwyth and that is Shenton, otherwise known as Satan. He is a totally decent guy and i've never known him to be tight to me or to be too busy to see me. If you see him about town say hi from me haha.

This is a more recent picture of shona and i have to say she really is that stunning in real life. By the looks of the background she has changed her room a bit from the last time i saw it which was at the party at her house when Beck and Andy built a bonfire out of plastic bottles and crap in the middle of her garden table and let molten plastic become fused to it hahaha. That party was very good i must say dispite the fact that my mate john punched through the wall with his bare hand leaving a hole large enough to fit a grapefruit in. I'm sure her wall is all better now though.

This is a picture taken around the same time as the one of Evie force feeding Abbie cherry liquer and shows Evie's sister Tara on the left and the guy who was her boyfriend at this point: Bleddyn. This picture was taken in Evie's living room and you can just see the door to the patio where many an evening has been spent.

This is a picture of the cabin party in full swing. You can make out a good few of the people who were at this party in the pic. from the left you can see Abbie, Ronan, Cloud, Bleddyn and possible Claire or Beth or someone else like that hahaha. This party was possibly the best i've ever been to just because it was so totally insane and there were so many fucked up people in one place.

These pics were taken at the camping party that happened at Llew's house pretty near the end of my visit there and was the time when Dan threw batteries at the guy on the left at the front the right picture shows from the left Calum, Evie, Llew, Pete and Abbie

These are recent photos of Ali Crocker (Dan's sister) who i have known for about a year now or at least since new year 2004. She is a well accomplished artist even if she denies it herself. She is a good friend a much better person than i think she gives herself credit for. When i think back on all the times that i have been down in Wales it has occurred to me that i can never seem to remember ever having long conversations with Ali, i think this was mainly due to the time of my visit as i think she had exams at that point but at the time i thought that she was simply quiet. This assumption i have recently discovered is not true as i found that talking to her

online is a great pleasure and she has a great talent for conversation and has a great sense of humour. Ali has also expressed an interest in working with me on some kind of combined art project, possibly a comic or something similarly narrative. I am greatly excited by this due to the fact taht i think that Ali can bring everything to a project like that, that i could never bring such as a true sense of character as her sketches often depict characters that need little or no explanation and their personality is as clear to see as is humanly possible.
As you can clearly see from these photographs Ali is very attractive and has a fantastic sense of style but i'm afraid that your all out of luck as she is already spoken for by none other that Ronan. I have been told that they are the perfect match for each other and it'll be nice to see more of both of them when i go down for new year 2005.

To conclude Ali is a great and conciderate friend with an air of maturity as well as an eagerness to have fun which all in all leaves us with a really cool friend.

These next two pictures are of someone who has only really become a friend of mine in the past couple of weeks. This is Jess and she is one amazing girl although she'd like to deny it herself. She is a friend of Ali's who i met properly for the first time at Evie's house at the last big party before i went back home. Jess is quite simply an amazing girl. Not only is she highly beautiful but also host to a wonderful personality and great sense of humour. I don't think i have ever got on with someone so fast than i did with Jess, seems that over the course of one evening she became one of my closest and best friends. I have to admit that in all fairness i really don't know her that well yet having only really met her once or twice but she is someone that i would so anything to see again and i can only hope that she feels the same.

Jess is a fantastic person who i hope to keep in contact with for as long as i can as

can. I hope to get a newer photo of her sometime soon but i think you can get an idea of what i'm talking about when i say she is truely stunning. I have to say that Jess also has quite a decent taste in music, i never realised i loved massive attack so much until she put them on.

Anyway i'll finish by saying that of all the memories i have of that last trip to Wales for new year 2006 the memory of this girl is one that i will keep with me for the rest of my life.

These three pictures are of possibly the best friend i have. He is known by many names: Jonathan, Jo, Beck, Mini Beck, the black pixie, morgoth and many more but Beck is one of the best and most similarly minded people to me i have ever met. He is a great guitarist and songwriter and is totally indespecible to the band that he and i formed over a year ago. Beck's skills are all but limitless and i don't think there is anyone i'd rather have as my friend than him. Beck's the kind of guy who, like me, ejoys embarking on many an adventure into the wilderness and the into the unknown and has accompanied me on all my trips down the mines and

The Robin could never have become what it is now with out his tireless efforts. Beck is as genuine a friend as you could hope to have. He's allways up for anything and a bottomless pit of insipration and creativity. I guy who can learn fast and well and seems to have a natural affinity for just about everything which is one of his most enviable traits. Me and Beck once ran a comic together and have had many other projects over the few years we have been friends and will have many more to come.

To sumise i would like to say that Beck is the best guy i've ever known and always has the best intentions in his heart. Definiately the best friend i have.

This is a picture of Jess taken a few weeks after i met her in Wales and though she isn't too proud of it i can easily reconise her fantastic good looks. I must say i am looking forward to her coming to visit during the Easter holidays like nothing else. This is a girl who you only need to meet for a second to see that shes a great friend. Pictured here with a new haircut and a nice pair of Aviator sunglasses, doesn't she look stunning. Hope to get more hot pictures soon so that the world can share in the wonders of Jess.
