Colin Farrel has a comedy eyebrow.
This picture does not give full vent to its comedic qualities. Watch "In Bruges" Quite apart from the fact it's a fine film, the eyebrow steals the show. You'll never be able to watch it now without thinking about it. Hahahaha

This is in fact a rimless hat, but Colin's eyebrow has been trained to act as a brim and keep the rain and sun from his eyes.
Well, what an incredible weekend has just passed. So much happened that I think I will probably have to split things into two parts. I had two weddings to work at, both were great fun, but in very different ways, I then had to rush off to London for a job on Monday morning and then back to Sherwood Forest on Tuesday for some Robin Hood stuff. Then back home to get ready for this weekend.
Perhaps the best bit of the weekend though was a bit I didn't get to, the Frisby Old Farts Football Club's awards night,held in the luxurious and salubrious surroundings of Frisby Village Hall. It sounded as though it was a real success. The food was superb and the evening an absolute riot.
It was treated like an Oscars awards night with winners getting a copy of the famous statuette.
(At least I think they are copies)
I won an award! Yes, I have an Oscar. My award was for "A Lifetime's Achievement". Because I was not going to be there I, as is the tradition, had to pre-record my acceptance speech :
I'm sorry I missed it, it must have been a great night, judging by all the tales I've heard.
I wasn't there because I was busy at weddings. On Saturday I was at the wedding of Gemma and Cam near Hitchin in Herts. Posh do in a lovely marquee by a lake. The bridal party arrived in two beautiful horse-drawn carriages and the wedding was run with great style and aplomb by Ian Shepherd of Hospitality House . The food was terrific. Largely due to a long receiving line of eight for 180 people the wedding ran a little late which meant I was late arriving at the hotel in Birmingham for my next job, due to start at Stupid o'clock on Sunday morning.
It was the wedding of Roopa and Vikesh at Edgbaston cricket ground
There were 650 people there for breakfast, the ceremony and lunch, then another 500 people for the evening bash. The whole thing was organised and co-ordinated by the Lakhani Group. This was no mean feat, and the room in the morning with the Mandap and everything set up looked fantastic.
This is me in front of the Mandap
And this is me with the happy couple!
It was a long, long day, but great fun and Roopa's mum and dad in particular were an absolute delight.
There is a lot more to tell - things about our new tent, the latest village happenings and so on and the busy weekend coming up, however that will all have to wait until another time.
Live Long and be Toastmastered
