write a thoughtful letter to a sibling.

I only have one sibling my brother Mark, I therefore thought I'd try to stir another emotion in all of you than the usual titters and giggles you get from my blogs so here's a Hank Williams song

Astrologer #7 Mystic Meg said

It’s time to contact that friend on your mind

I realised there no Greg in this blog so I contacted him to go grab a pint sometime

I also hadn't seen Steve McKane in a while so I got on the phone to him as well

Tonight: Whatever makes you happy. 

Whatever makes ME happy? How strange the stars finally have handed me back my free will what a fitting end to this mammoth experiment, So I've decided what would make me happy is to have a brief look over this experiment ... What do you think Carmel?

I'm sure she'll come round at some point

Since the blog started it's had over 1600 which is quite pleasing, the day that most people have looked at was day 21 where I talked about the pope and Gerald Kelly I don't know which of these two brought in the most views so here's another picture of Gerald to try boost views of this post

Hello Ladies

I haven't posted a GIF in a while so here's the gif from the second most popular days 13-15

One person who divided opinion during the blog was Laurie Smyth, some people wanted more of him and others wanted as little of him as possible, they especially didn't enjoy this picture

I believe the expression is shaved

I'm going to leave you with my personal favourite moment of this whole experiment and it does include Laurie but it's something that I believe lovers and haters alike will enjoy:

Well there we go 40 days isn't that long when you think about it, I hope you enjoyed these blogs I have a few new ideas in the pipeline, including something big in September which you can follow here or my older blog here

Oh BTW I didn't win the Euromillions *SADFACE*
In the meantime

Goodnight
I Love You
Sweet Dreams
& TTFN :*

On Day 38, Astrologer #13 Astrola said:

You should be promoting your ideas. So smile! You are best to avoid confrontations.

Promoting my ideas eh, well it was a good day so me and Kevin went on another walk to Kevin's agent Laurie to promote some of his ideas. Laurie however had different ideas!

After this things took a turn for the worse:

Moves like Mick Jagger? maybe not ... definately not!

Astrologer #17 Jacqueline Bigar said

 Tonight: Get some R and R.

Rest and Relaxation! Brilliant! So I put my feet up and enjoyed my favourite film:

You're tearing me apart LISA!

Day 39

Thursday 13th June

On Day 39, Astrologer #7 Mystic Meg said:

Luck will visit door No3

When this is all over I won't miss Meg sending me to all these different doors, but I was instructed to visit luck so off I set down my road to number 3 Koram Road, a number that actually existed this time, although I didn't hold my breath for finding much luck

No-one was about, maybe that was the lucky part

Astrologer #10 Russell Grant said:

Trust your intuition when it comes to finances.

At the start of this experiment I consulted a website called luckydays.tv that website tells you your lucky days for gambling based on your astrological details, my best days for gambling fell on Days 16, 30 and 39 of this experiment, the rules dictate that I follow luck, so Russell wanted betting.
Well I figured the best person to gamble on was someone who shared my birthday, after all if my horoscope said it was my lucky day it must be their lucky day as well, my luck multiplied by their luck would give us luck squared. I needed to find someone who shared my birthday someone i could bet on. I found one Robert Karlsson the golfer, would Robert be competing on Day 39? He would! He was competing in the US open

Astrologer #14 WebWombat added:

Lucky numbers are 3 and 21.

I added these together and staked £24 on Karlsson to win his 3 ball that afternoon.

Astrologer #15 Astrolis.com said:

Daily Numbers: 13, 23, 29, 35, 42, 44

So I got on the Euromillions for tomorrow choosing 23, 29, 35, 42, 44 with lucky stars 3 and 13
We'll check that up tomorrow wish me luck :D

stay home and play games with your family, roommates or internet buddies.

I played a children's card game with Mark... I won

Then I played some poker with my "internet buddies"

I won

Astrologer #17 Jacqueline Bigar said:

Tonight: Get plenty of rest!

These past 39 days had taken me many strange places from a golf course in Carryduff, to a pub called the pub in Lancaster, to the man united parade in Manchester, to the central bar with Laurie so I was glad that it was telling me to get in some rest before the excursions of Day 40

One final piece of housekeeping ... Robert Karlsson ... finished 3rd out of 3 ... Dickhead

DJ Qualls

On Day 36 Astrologer #5 Kelli Fox

Treat yourself and someone you love to a meal out on the town. Breaking bread together leads to wonderfully intimate conversation.

You really can't beat the firebox for a good steak and dessert what do ya say Kieran. is located on the shores of Lough Swilly, at Fahan, Co. Donegal, in the premises of the Railway Tavern which was formally the Station House of the Derry & Lough Swilly Railway Company. On tables of 8 or more, a service charge of 10% applies. The conversation was lively if not intimate and we'll leave it at that


Astrologer #14 WebWombat said:

turn to... Mmmm... Chocolate

Sexual Chocolate?

I think my favourite kind of chocolate is white chocolate; like in milky bars although i have been partial to minstrels, munchies, and mini eggs ... all the Ms ... except M&Ms never M&Ms!

Oh go on then

Happy Birthday Fellllllllla

Day 37

Tuesday 11th June

On Day 37 Astrologer #7 Mystic Meg said:

Luck visits door 37

Again Koram Road hadn't a 37, but Ligford Road did and not only that it was my aunts house, unfortunately my aunt had it rented out to someone else but still I was to chase luck so off I went

Sadly there wasn't much going on at it but I left happy in the knowledge that i had pursued luck

 Astrologer #17 Jacqueline Bigar said:

 Be positive. Tonight: Talk up a storm.

This reminded me of the Strabane man who could fairly talk up a storm

Recently I had dinner with one of the most successful hosts in the history of television, Michael Parkinson, and it got me thinking - if that crazy fella can do it, why can't Ryan Mc Cauley? After all, what qualities make a great host?

Personality -- Check
Awesomeness -- Check
Good Looks -- Check

Below are a few shows that I'd love to host. Let me know your favourite and I'll pitch it to Mike the next time I see him at the gym.
