Beer & Girls….mmm!

Just say "Thank you Bowen" for searching the internet for this photo. It’s made my weekend and I hope it makes yours.

The Boat Race is on Sunday.

My money is on Cambridge winning the boat race this year after the news that Cambridge weighed in 5 pounds heavier. Two thirds of all the races have been won my a heavier crew.

The race starts from Putney Bridge at 4:32pm and finishes at Barnes.

There are loads of places along the river to catch the excitement.

Monkey Gland Sauce.

I was describing monkey gland sauce to a colleague this morning and I could see him looking at me and thinking "that Bowen is talking the biggest load of ……",  so I looked it up on Google and Wikipedia have an excellent definition for it.

Monkey-gland sauce has nothing to do with monkeys, but is a very popular South African sauce that usually consists of a marinade of fruit chutney, red wine (or tomato sauce), and hot sauce. It is mostly used to prepare the dish Monkey-gland Steak

Scumbags… how annoying!

I got my car back from Skoda yesterday after they supposedly blew the engine. It’s going like a rocket now, well exactly the same as it was before I took it to them. (ha ha), trust me, stay well away from Skoda Sidcup… Everything they touch turns to broken.

So there I was driving back to the station when I decided to visit B&Q over at North Greenwich. I parked outside MacDonald’s and was in the shop for about 5 minutes, came back to the car and discovered some scumbag had keyed my car from the petrol cap to the front mirror.

I stood there looking at it in disbelief. I’ve only just paid off my last bit of vandalism to the car and now this… I just wonder what sort of person goes around keying cars? What is going through their peanut brains? Fortunately my car is not coated with metallic paint, because if it was it would have been a lot worse, but still it’s totally unnecessary. I just don’t understand the mentality of people who do these things.

Friday - Weekend!

Friday is upon us and so I welcome all the red leather chair lovers to Lookatbowen.com - This one is a beauty. I am told you can purchase her from DFS.

News Update!

So most UK car owners got screwed yet again by the government after they announced the new car tax bands? We’ve just purchased our car tax for this year and it was £118, which is relatively low considering I have a 1.9Turbo Diesel (which by the way, is still at the garage because Skoda somehow managed to blow my turbo engine), but going back to the car tax, next year I will pay £110, so thank you Mr Brown for saving me £8.

My brother Peter visited us yesterday, well it was brief stop over to the say the least. He came up from Portland where he is based on a cable laying ship. He needed to fetch a laptop I got him, so it was a matter of him getting a 3 hour train trip from Weymouth to London Waterloo, then to Canary Wharf, managed to have some dinner at Tootsies in Jubilee Park, and then he was on his way back to Weymouth.
