On a bloggin' hype n ting - Alex
What a hip and trendy title, confirming my position as the cooler blogger you will find hanging out on this page. Also I guess you could say that it is somewhat true. I'm not 100% sure what I actually implied in the title but I believe it is something along the lines of 'I am enjoying this medium of communication, hence the frequent updates.' Well two things motivate me. Firstly I enjoy and relish the money making potential that our gibberish malarkey actually has, I wouldn't say that we are by any means earning anything comparable to income of a 20th century chimney sweep, but this could be a right little Bunse (pulled out the cockney rhyming slang). Additionally I sense, possibly incorrectly, a palpable amount of enjoyment and pride from my close friends. Obviously not from a certain tall and chunky friend, but he's less supportive than a tissue paper brassiere. One of my majestic, terrific and best friends has set our blog as his/hers homepage. It's not that I don't want to disclose their gender, but at times I'm really not certain. He/she is very good person, and I'm glad that they are so supportive. Holy motown, that was out of character. Thank you for being above average, you uber fans.
7am and true fame- Paddy
I have two points to make as I sit in my kitchen eating a yoghurt. Firstly 6.30 is a stupid time. It's far too early to have to get up on any day other than for an early morning flight to somewhere hot and exotic. It's certainly too early for a trip to the houses of parliament, which is in fact my destination today on a college politics trip.
My second point for this early morning blog is that in the wee small hours of this morning, we received confirmation that we would almost certainly make it big inthe cut throat world of blogging. This morning alex 'n' paddy crossed the cultural and physical divide of the atlantic ocean to the glorious nation of Canada. That's right readers, our casual Internet fame now reaches 4 continents and from here is just a short step to the USA where we will undoubtably have a film made about out struggle, in the style of the social network.
And that appears to be all I have to say this morning. I'm off to see where David Cameron sits and where Nick clegg makes the tea.

The lesser blogger- Paddy
Now I'm not bitter that Alex has more views than me* but I'm forced to point out his morrocan translates to "Thank you to see our page on more than one occasion, write me the confidence and admiration. I hope to continue to enjoy all that me and Patrick do in the future. I love you." on google, which I'm sure you'll agree is incoherent and probably quite insulting to our Arab friend. Not that I'm trying to make Alex look bad and swing the popularity of the other nations my way at all...
*well maybe a little bitter.

International superstars - Alex
Being a freak I like statistics, tell me that in the 09-10 Serie A season 46% of penalty kicks hit low and centrally were saved and I will grimace with joy. This is why I enjoy looking at the stats from the alexnpaddy blog so chuffing much, for instance I can tell you that 4% of our page views have come from mobile devices, which is nearly 1/15th of the number of views we have received from Internet explorer, that trusty steed. In addition I can disclose that my two entries have received 2.5X as many views as the entries by my less physically blessed bro, although having said that I bet he suddenly becomes more popular than blackberries. Whilst I'm sure you're enticed by these scintillating fractions and percentages but are also pondering 'International superstars? Where the eff has A dog got this idea?' Well our blog has had one view from Singapore, unassuming I know, but get ready for the big one, we've had two hits from Morocco! I like to think that these two hits are from the same person, who saw just a glimmer of talent in our earliest moments and decided to check on how we were maturing and growing as men of the Internet. Well in homage to our number one Moroccan fan I've utilised the web and written him a little message...
شكرا لكم لمشاهدة صفحتنا على أكثر من مناسبة واحدة، تكتب لي بثقة وإعجاب. أرجو أن تستمر في التمتع بكل ما لي وباتريك القيام به في المستقبل. أحبك.
Now I'm not sure how well that will have worked, with every language teacher I've ever had shooing me away from Google translate, but beyond shukran and marhaba my Arabic is very limited so I deemed the use of resources necessary. Also in hind sight, if you' have viewed our page more than once you can obviously read our page competently. Well I guess that attempt at improving international relations was in vain, please don't hate me Mr. Morocco.

A somewhat forced introduction- Paddy
After Alex reintroduced himself in a more competent and flowing post I felt I was forced into doing the same.
Hello my name is Patrick, but please call me Paddy. I too am 17 years old but a slightly older 17 than my counterpart. I am 5' 10 1/4" with that extra quarter being all important. I have a weight of roughly 8stone making my BMI even scrawnier than that of Alex. I as a student attend a college full of much larger people than I, which is quite unhelpful for corridor based travel. At this college I study physics, politics, history and resistant materials, which is just a fancy way of saying wood tech. My future career will probably entail lying in some form or another as I am pretty good at it. This means I will be either a spy or a politician depending which university I get in to.
In a more relaxed environment I play variations of football badly as I mentioned in my initial short introduction. I'm not a huge fan of many other sports, especially those where getting hurt is a main feature of the game, like rugby or extreme ironing. My taste in music in genuinely appalling and I count mika as one of my favourite artists. Please don't judge me.
I notice Alex ended his last post with a humourous comment about algerians, bit we did actually get a hit from morocco, which is practically Algeria. Who's laughing now?

A proper introduction - Alex
Obviously my first ever post was very short, but I reckon that's just because I'm shy and I know that no-one that interested will actually be reading. But through sheer desperation for money I am compelled to write another brain torturing entry. As I sit in my messy bedroom with Scissor Sisters booming out of my docking station I am racking my brain trying to think of a topic that will both entertain you (hi friends) and flow from my finger tips with ease. This would be significantly less difficult if I was interesting and entertaining, however I am neither of them and that's why I'm so badly suited to this role. However I am too much man to quit at the first hurdle so I shall continue to babble wildly until slamming the cursor down on 'publish post'. I guess seeing as you're definitely certainly 100% going to be visiting this site most times when you turn on your computer you should probably get to know me a little bit more in depth than my first micro-post let you.
Hello my name is Alex, I'm 17 years old and I stand at a completely average 5 foot 10. I weigh an upsettingly scrawny 9 stone 13 pounds and that gives me a BMI of 21.4. I really doubt you care about that. I am currently a full time student at college and I am studying biology, maths, chemistry and modern history. In the future I plan to go to university because I really like the idea of debt and then hopefully onto a career where I can wear a suit EVERY DAY, I think the two most likely career paths are con-man/hustler or an investment banker. I like sports and my favourite two sports are football and figure skating, although because I struggle to find any good figure skating games on the Xbox I tend to have a lot more to do with football. Another thing about me is my eclectic taste in music, whilst half of my iPod is full of dubstep and grime I also spent 25 minutes the day before last listening to barbershop quartets on youtube. Also other times I like to listen to other people that do music for a job such as The Futureheads, Lupe Fiasco and George Michael. I actually own a 'CHOOSE LIFE' t-shirt much like the ones modelled by GM <3 and Andrew Ridgeley in the game changing video for Wake Me Up Before You Go Go. None of this will mean much to you, because you're either a very good friend of mine or an Algerian who accidently stumbled across this page. 12

My first blog! - Alex
Isn't this quaint? Just me and my BFFL in our own little corner of the internet. I'm the less attractive, less uncool and also less weedy member of this bromance. I'm also ginger, so if you are that way inclined you may wish to ignore my posts or just this whole blog overall. I very much doubt this blog is going to be very popular, with me and Patrick both being bad bad people. Also I imagine to begin with this will just be a site for our friends to read about us and then to mock us mercilessly until our self esteem is left in tatters. I don't like using paragraphs. And on that short, depressing and potentially off putting introduction I'm going to disappear to either complete a history essay or slip over in mud alot.
The First Blog: Paddy
We sat and deliberated this first post for many many minutes before i wrote it (I being Paddy). We agreed this should be a brief introduction to the world of us.
Hello! Welcome, thank you for taking time to read this. I hope you will return for future, more interesting and well thought out posts.
I, being Paddy, am the second name but purely through alphabetical reasons. I am not the inferior blogger, or i might be, neither of us has done this before. I am the brown-haird member of our duo for those of you who care and as I am not very cool often wear a sweatervest. I usually spend my time playing football, the english type, either for real, and losing, or on FIFA with alex, and losing. But anyway i feel you know enough about me to be getting on with bye! I imagine Alex will post an introduction to himself in but a moment, but who can say for sure?
