Friday
I had Friday off from work to sort a few bit and pieces out with the flat. Didn't really do much other than a 5 mile run. Ross came down at about 8 and we headed straight out. We got nicely sloshed and ended up getting a burger king.
Saturday was great, we then went for a nice pub lunch then met up with Shaz. We helped my new flat mate move in (whilst semi drunk) then headed off to Kennsington for a night out on the town.
I was quite a weird place to begin with. One of Shaheen's medic friends was having a birthday party and had hired a venue. The Fire Rooms. From the out side it just looked like a really posh house. The inside was a really posh house but with a bar in it. Very weird.
Celeb Spot of the Day Pete Postlethwaite
Amusing Spot of the Day Shaheen got stung for a £55 round
After that we moved onto another (cheaper) pub
Then got cabs to Astoria 2 (I think it's called 'Fish' or something). Lots of rock and metal music and dancing. Good fun again. At 4 in the morning we staggered out and tried to get a cab back to Putney. After much Shaz haggling we got one for £35. Not bad as it was split between 5.
Sunday we went to another nice pub for lunch, then I watched the football where Liverpool kicked Chelsea's ass.
All in all, a very good weekend.

Sad fcuker
Bored so looking at the alumni at my uni
Didn't know this guy but he was in my faculty.
Abhinav Chauhan
"I struggled to get a job after this course but believe me it was not the course but the 9/11 Syndrome that hit me. Today looking back I cannot thank UWE enough for designing such a wonderful course. It has given me a broader vision to the Manufacturing Industry. Today a head of Department International Business to a well known company in India in Injection Molding, Mold making and CAD/CAM designing. I know what this course did for me; what UWE has given me. No words are worthy enough for me to thank the Professors and the University for giving me that edge which only few will have. I miss the days at university I surely have started to worry about my T-shirts from UWE fading. Today I wear my t-shirts with UWE logo with pride. I intend to be back just to have some quality time with my Professors and buy a few more t-shirts from the union shop.

General state of mind
Having finally found myself a new flat I can honestly say that i'm feeling much better about things. Being settled at home has made all the other problems seem less of an issue and I can actually start to relax.
I think last night was the first time in nearly two months where i've slept the whole night through. Perhaps it was a cooler night and I wasn't so bothered with the heat, but I think it may be a combination of the two.
The flat is great though. Apart from a couple of minor issues that will get sorted out in the next few days I think the flat is excellent.
- The toilet downstairs is broken, not a problem as we have 3, and more importantly mine is fine.
- I can't get the dishwasher or washing machine to work - not a problem as it's forced me to buy new shirts, but that can't go on forever.
- We still have no blinds - not a problem, they're getting measured up tonight.

Busy morning
Wow! My new Exposure Management role has really kicked in. We've been running round frantically trying to assess the impact of today's terrorist events.
Business interruption will be our main loss, but we don't think it''' amount to much. What would happen if they didn't manage to stop the fuckers?

Poker Evening 5 (or 6) continued
Is everyone still okay for Saturday night? I'm going to try and get things sorted out with my flat in the morning and then head over to Kettering for around 6 / 7 o'clock.
Does that sound reasonable?
Can someone get a load of booze and unhealthy food in, we can settle up on the night?
Ian: Is it still okay for me to stay over? Are there any decent take aways nearby? I guess the Han is close, but could be quite pricey just for takeaway food.
Kris: Can you bring your poker set?
Ben: No chance of getting Dylan along? Ask him again, if anything it'll annoy him.
Stu: Oh that's me, I'm still waiting to hear back from Ross, but will call him soon to see if he can make it too. That might mean it could be cheap enough for us to get a cab back to Corby afterwards. I guess we can play it by ear.
Jebus: Make sure I win!
