Chapter 121: Jamie Stinton!

Hey Guys,

So this week I eventually uploaded a video that I've had since November:

Eventually has two meanings in this situation...one, because it's been ages since we filmed it and two, that it's been ages since Sunday...Basically, my internet was refusing to be consistent enough to upload a video but all is good now.

On here I thought I'd talk about Jamie.

Jamie is one of my best friends. He is a year younger than me but that doesn't seem to put anything between us. For a couple of years now people have pointed out comparisons between us and have said that we are older/younger versions of each other...This is a compliment for me really.

Jamie can be a right dick sometimes, but when he's not, he is the best person to be around because he's so genuine and kind and occasionally funny too.

This walk was so much fun and I really enjoyed spending the time with my bro and my good friend.

What a legend.

Until Next Time,
Stay Happy,
Appreciate Someone,
And Goodbye.

Chapter 120: The NTAs 2017

Hey guys,

So I've just been watching this years NTAs

Once again, my votes did not prevail...however I'm still happy with the results.

WINNER

MY NOMINATION (if different from winner)

Challenge Show:

I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here

The Apprentice

Masterchef

Love Island

The Great British Bakeoff

As my vote, I'm delighted this show won, such a great series in 2016 and so deserving of the win. A shame for the Last BBC Bakeoff, but should have definitely won over the others.

Comedy

The Big Bang Theory

Orange Is The New Black

Benidorm

Mrs. Brown's Boys

Other than OITNB, I'm a fan of all of these, was a tough call between Mrs. Brown and Benidorm when voting, but I felt like I enjoy Benidorm more, but I am delighted with Mrs. Brown taking it home.

Drama

Game Of Thrones

Cold Feet

Casualty

Happy Valley

The Night Manager

A huge shock for me as I knew there was tough competition in this category, As the only one I'd seen, Cold Feet was the only fair vote for me. Shocked that GoT didn't win despite not being a personal fan, and even more shocked that Casualty won it, being what I would say was the underdog.

Period Drama

Stranger Things

Victoria

Poldark

Peaky Blinders

Call The Midwife

Again, for a fan of this genre, a tough option, fortunately I am not and the only one I've seen any of was Stranger Things. Heard great things about Victoria and Poldark but at the end of the day, the voting public love a classic, and Call The Midwife seems to have been around for ages with an enormous fan base, well deserved for them.

Talent Show

The X Factor

Britains Got Talent

Strictly Come Dancing

Loved them all this year so didn't really mind the winner, Obviously would have preferred my vote to win, but Ed Balls dancing in sequins is hard to beat, and it was a fitting award for the end of Len Goodman's Strictly Judging career.

Factual Entertainment

DIY SOS

Gogglebox

Paul O'Grady: For The Love Of Dogs

Making A Murderer

Tattoo Fixers

Huge Gogglebox fan so did not mind a bit that they won. Such a shame for Tattoo Fixers as I also love them too. Paul O'Gtady is a legend so he missed out big time and I met Nick Knowles in 2016 so DIY SOS missing out hurt fot that reason. Overall, pleased with the result and delighted that Steven and Chris collected the award, but would have loved it to be Tattoo Fixers.

Live Magazine Show

This Morning

BBC Breakfast

Loose Women

Sunday Brunch

The One Show

Couldn't be happier for This Morning, by far the best of the nominees and so deserving of the win. Love Phil and Holly (and Eamonn) and so another reason why I voted for them and why I'm so glad they won.

Drama Performance

Jenna Coleman (Victoria)

Sarah Lancashire (Happy Valley)

Tom Hiddleston (The Night Manager)
Cillian Murphy (Peaky Blinders)

Not seen any of these shows but voted purely because I know that Sarah is an amazing actress. Was stunned to discover that Tom had done some TV stuff, but not enough for it to make me vote him, it didn't seem right. Loved Jenna in Doctor Who but felt like I had to go with Sarah, and it was a good choice.

Entertainment Programme
The Last Leg
The Graham Norton Show
Saturday Night Takeaway
Celebrity Juice

Absolutely love all of these programmes so did not care who won, absolutely knew that SNT would win but thought I'd vote for something else anyway, and of them all, The Last Leg was probably the one that I enjoy watching most.

Newcomer
Faye Brookes (Coronation Street)
Lloyd Everitt (Casualty)
Duncan Jones (Hollyoaks)
Tilly Keeper (Eastenders)

As an Eastenders fan, it would be wrong for me to not vote for Tilly, but my decision was helped by the fact that she's really good. I'm sure Faye did a fantastic job in Corrie to give her the overall win, but I'm a tad gutted on this one as Tilly has done so well this year with the huge Peggy and Phil Mitchell storylines and the more recent Ronnie and Roxy storyline.

Serial Drama Performance
Jack P. Sheppard (Coronation Street)
Danny Miller (Emmerdale)
Lacey Turner (Eastenders)
Natalie J. Robb (Emmerdale)

Rare for me to be happy with the shortlist nominees in this category and despite being a die hard Enders fan, I still know how good the other three are, all of them deserved the win here, but I'm so glad that Lacey got it. It's been great to see her back on the square and winning awards again.

TV Judge
Mary Berry (GBBO)
David Walliams (BGT)
Len Goodman (Strictly)
Nicole Scherzinger (X Factor)
Simon Cowell (X Factor, BGT)

Again love them all so would have been happy whoever won it. Would have been good to see David win it again as it was so funny last time. As a legend in TV Judging, it would have been nice to see Simon win it. Nicole is hilarious so really would have deserved it and it would have been lovely for Len to win it for his last series of Strictly however my vote and the award went to Mary, despite this being my first ever watch of GBBO, I loved it, and I've always loved her and considering the end of GBBO (on BBC) it was nice for her to get it this last time.

Serial Drama
Coronation Street
Eastenders
Hollyoaks
Emmerdale

Again, Eastenders had to be my vote for the same reasons and I'm gutted they didn't take it home but I'm so proud of Emmerdale and after winning best Soap at the Soap awards last year (for the first time ever) this was the next big step. The storylines they've tackled recently are incredible so if I was a more religious watcher they may well have actually got my vote. John Middleton who plays Ashley was snubbed for Serial Drama Performance as he has been amazing recently.

Daytime
The Jeremy Kyle Show
The Chase
Pointless
Come Dine With Me

Another category where I love them all and would have been happy no matter what (maybe a bit gutted if CDWM won) but The Chase is such a well made programme, with a great host in Bradley Walsh and the Chasers are so much fun so it is a deserving winner.

TV Presenter
Mel & Sue
Ant & Dec
Gary Lineker
James Corden
Rylan Clarke-Neal

Once again, it's a given that Ant & Dec will win this so I decided to give someone else a chance. As a fanboy of James Corden I couldn't help but vote for him despite knowing he had no chance. Not only are they obvious winners, but this year particularly the competition was shocking so it was in the bag but I'm delighted that they've won for a 15th year in a row...You never know, I could be the one to break their streak, but I do love them.

Special Recognition
GRAHAM NORTON

This one isn't voted for by the public, but I'm so glad that Graham won it because I absolutely love him. Billy Connolly, David Tennant and Ant & Dec(was actually landmark award that year as they'd already won SR) are the previous 3 winners of this award and Graham fits in that category so very well. I absolutely love watching him on the Graham Norton Show and Eurovision and on Let It Shine recently and so he was so deserving of the award. The video package was also outstanding.

and that's it, not a clean sweep for my votes but mostly happy for each result regardless.

Until Next Time,
Stay Happy,
Watch TV,
And Goodbye.

Chapter 119: Be A Donor!

Hey Guys,

So this week I showed you what was in my wallet:

And unexpectedly I asked you all to sign up to be a donor, which was not planned at all.

Over here I thought I'd say why you should do that.

Signing up to be a donor could save someone's life and only takes about 2 minutes to do, unfortunately it's one of those things that people very often want to do but put off until it's too late.

As well as that, it is also on an opt-in scheme which means you are only registered if you sign up which I think should be the other way round, and you have to opt out if you don't wish to be a donor, unfortunately this is yet to be changed.

Please take the time now, to stop what you're doing and sign up, because it could save a life.

SIGN UP HERE

Until Next Time,

Stay Happy,

Be A Donor,

And Goodbye.

Chapter 118: Celebrity Big Brother!

Hey Guys,

This week I told you who I thought would be in the final of Celebrity Big Brother and who I wanted to win:

I came to the conclusion that I want 1 of 3 to win the show.

James Cosmo
I feel like he is the most deserving of a place in the house and is such a nice guy and for that reason I think he should and could go all the way and win the show.

Coleen Nolan
Out of all of the all stars, she is my favourite, so if one of those has to win, I want it to be her. I think she is misunderstood by many and is a really passionate and caring person who I'd be happy to see win.

Jamie O'Hara
Another new star, who despite playing for Pompey, I have really enjoyed in the house. He is a fun guy who is also very nice but won't let people walk over him which I think is a really nice quality to have.

I would be happy however, if Calum or Jedward won as well.

Until Next Time,
Stay Happy,
Watch CBB,
And Goodbye.

Chapter 117: I'm back...and I'm Sorry!

Hey Guys,

So this week on YouTube I made 3 videos to make up for the weeks I've missed, here's one of them:

In this one I apologise for being away and explain why.

Basically, my computer monitor was refusing to turn on and so I couldn't edit anything, hence the lack of Sweden vlogs and I couldn't film anything on my phone because it was full with Sweden footage that I couldn't transfer to the computer but I'm back.

The reason I haven't posted here is because I hadn't uploaded a video so I didn't really have much to talk about, but fear no more...I am back!

Until Next Time,
Stay Happy,
Apologise,
And Goodbye.

Chapter 116: Thanks and Vlogs?

Hey Guys and Happy New Year,

So this week on YouTube I tested my brother on the events of MitchMas, you can see that here:

I just wanted to say a huge thankyou to everyone who took part in MitchMas and everyone who watched, it really meant a lot and I really enjoyed doing it.

In this video you will notice I talk about vlogs from Sweden, you may also notice that there hasn't been any...Don't worry, I have been filming, I just haven't edited or uploaded them yet, so bare with me on them.

Until Next Time,
Stay Happy,
Start your New Year off with a bang,
And Goodbye.
