    Just last week, I had a birthday. In fact I kinda had 2. Me missus was working on the actual day, so I hung out with some friends then, and the next day, had a 2nd birthday with my lady.

    First day was a 3hour karaoke extravaganza. In Japan they have this thing called “nomihodai“, which means “drink as much as you want” for a couple of hours for about a tenner. This sounded like a top idea, however, the Japanese don’t seem to understand about drinking during the day, so it’s soft drinks until 7pm! (We started after my work, about 3.30).

    So we chipped off, bought a bottle of sake and smuggled it in. Glad I was too drunk to hear myself sing, as got a feeling it was pretty bad.

    My tattooable friend was there (having just had another session), so here’s some pics.

    Went to Karaoke last week, my first time since I got here, and it was fantastic!

    Only did 3 hours, but managed to murder a fair chunk of the songs in the catalogue.
    Was very pleased to see that Hard to Beat by Hard-Fi had been added to the list!

    With the usual, British background video (London buses, Buck Palace, Trooping of the colour, etc.).
    So I gave that one a go, and have to admit, Richard makes it look a lot easier than it really is ;)

    Think I`ll stick to my poor Elvis impression on “Wooden Heart”, my girlfriend doesn`t laugh so much through that one!
