Still in plaster and 3DTV

Well week 3 and still in plaster. Op went well removing the pin although I was wide awake when they did it and I cried like a wimp. Just had a local injection and felt the wonderful sensation of it being unscrewed from my ankle. Something i didn't relish and wont want to go through again. Still having to take the good old trammies but hey ho worse things happen. Just got to wait for my next appointment an have another cast popped on. Neon yellow i think this time. Well according to the magazine I have been reading its the new 'in' colour this season. whoop I am up to date with the fashions lol. Carling and Guinness have been guarding my leg and keeping me company. Carling more so and Guinness is still a playful pup who likes to try and chew things.

Anyway, I have been speaking to Nigel and we think that we aren't doing enough with 3D TV. Sky have been adding more to it and show concerts so I have asked him to demo it tonight. Keane are doing a concert and also there are plenty of documentaries on Wild Life which must look amazing in 3D. So I might even shuffle bum down the stairs to watch it myself tonight. We are open from 5pm tonight so if you feel like popping in for a nose and see what the fuss is about, well you know where to come.Anyway back to watching Downton Abbey. Thank you for the invention of the internet and the written word to starve off boredom.

New Year New Start

So new name New Year new start. The Hog is relaunching itself and so am I. The Hog will devote its Fridays to new and original bands and Saturdays will be for good Cover bands and quality Tribute bands as well as fab theme nights such as 90's 80's Pirates of the Caribbean, 70's Boogie nights etc. We have loads planned for The Hog this year so keep an eye on www.HogandHosper.co.uk.

This week Jan 15th we have two fab local punk bands on. The Dolts are fairly new to the scene but they have been in other bands before. They practised at The Hog before playing 6 feet under and after coaching the singer, the band have come on in leaps and bounds. I liken them to Ramones crossed with Madness.
Headlining the evening are 8.4%. The band started back in the 90's but members went and did other projects and 8.4% was briefly 'mothballed'. However they are back with a BANG and I personally, cant wait to see them. So if you need to dance off that Christmas podge, get down to The Hog this week. Its free entry
