"It was a bit of a fluke - I just got behind the shark and I went for a big grab,"
What's a big grab? That would have been funny though.
My people call me the dude. I share my teachings in the passages below... (along with many typos, grammatical errors and lazy writing)

We are Scientists
April's double booked so has two tickets to go and see We are Scientists at the Astoria.
Anyone fancy it? 27th Feb.

Great night
Last night was great.
I met up with April straight after work and she looked suitably embarrassed by the bouquet of roses in her arms. We then went back to mine for some champagne and and to listen to some Black Keys.
We then headed out to a lovely Michelin stared pub not far away in Putney. I had a lovely steak, April had lamb and some to this day unidentified bits of meat. My money's on an escalope, although we may never know.
We then went to the Half Moon to see if there was any decent acts on. Fortunately there were. Nigel Clark (ex front man for Dodgy) was playing with his new band. £7 each to get in but it was freezing outside so we took the chance. He was actually very good and it was more of an amusing chat / music evening. There must have been 20 people tops at the venue but it was pretty cool all the same.
The band were good and they played a few of his old hits.
Overall I had a really great evening.

Mmmm, free curry
Just used my AMEX (American Express) card for the first time for lunch with my boss and one of his old work collegues.
I mentioned to him yesterday that it had came through the post so he straight away invited me and said that I was paying.
Quite a good laugh though and it gets me out of the office (2 hours). Plus it was free, all I have to do is hand the reciept to a secretary. £80 for free!
Reminder to Stu, make sure your sort out the reciept...
Ha, ha, ha!
Before you comment Ben, here's a selection of ready made comments that you can use
"You sir, are a git"
"Gitty, gitty, git face Clark"
"Return of the git, Stuart strikes again"
"You are a curry eating git monster"
"Git"
Or why not use them all.
Reminder to Stu2, make sure you buy some chewing gum on your way home as you don't want to put April off with your (free) curry / beer breath.
One more time for fun...

How does my travelling time differ so dramatically?
Yesterday I left home at 7:50 and arrived at the office at 8:55. 1h 5m
Today I left home at 7:50 and arrived at the office at 9:20. 1h 30m
Same route...
Sometimes I hate this commuting lark. 4 modes of transport, walk to the bus to catch the train to get on a tube

Ross's e-mail address
Hello
Just a quick note to pass on Ross's e-mail address

So you can contact him here whenever you want.

Teenage Kicks
I'm going to see a new sit com get filmed next weekend (24th)
TEENAGE KICKS is a brand new sitcom by Adrian Edmondson & Nigel Smith. Vernon (Adrian Edmondson) moves in with his teenage kids after a spectacularly nasty divorce. He's genuinely excited about living in their student flat. A rebel in his youth (or so he thinks), it's his chance to be young again. Naturally, his kids are bloody mortified. Vernon has spent the last two decades living off his high-flying wife - mostly in a comfy pub in comfy Godalming. Now he's back in the 'real' world: free, no ties, no responsibilities. OK, he's unemployable, impoverished and alone, but that's only the downside. At least now he can rekindle the embers of his glorious youth and be as hedonistic, as irresponsible and as selfish and idle as his kids. Vernon's only refuge from his nagging children is the pub where he meets his oldest mate Bryan (Ben Elton), now a reasonably content, slightly smug, primary school deputy head whose 'sorted' life is in direct contrast with Vernon's. However, neither is quite sure who's getting the best deal. At heart it's a family sitcom, but the normal family structure has been turned upside down: here the young kids can't get rid of their stupidly rebellious father.
Should be good. My work friend Radhika's never heard of Adrian Edmondson, Nigel Smith, Rik Mayall or Ben Elton. She's not even heard of the Glastonbury festival. She's 21 in a few weeks but surely someone that young can't be that different from a sprightly young chap such as myself (Age 27 1/2) ...

SC Movie Review 15
The Last King of Scotland
Excellent film and some of the best acting I have ever seen. I'd been trying to see this film with April for the past 3 weeks or so, so finally we got round to watching it late last night. We were not disappointed.
Having not seen the other films where their lead actors have been nominated for an oscar it would be hard to say that Forest Whitaker will win but I think he would take some beating. Awesome! He manages to get you to like Idi Amin and then in a split second have you on the edge of your seat worrying about what he's about to do.
Go and see this film. Best i've seen in a long time.

SC Movie Review 14
Children of Men
This is not a feminist documentary about the idea of making men experience the pain of child birth but a science fiction (I guess...) film based in 2030.
I originally wanted to see it when it came out but unfortunately nobody wanted to see it with me. Whether that was just the film or because they would have to sit with me. Anyway, I rented it out from Blockbusters on Friday night and watched it with April after cooking a lovely meal and skoffing large quantities of ice-cream. Mmmmm. Ben and Jerry's.
Every country in the world has turned against itself after 20 years of not being able to produce children. With the help of an amusing Michael Caine and Ross's Mum (Pam Ferris) Clive Owen must help a young expectant mother travel to the south coast of England to catch a boat to safety.
Very good film all in all. Especially an action sequence at the end which was reminiscent of Call of Duty. Also there was a great character Syd (Peter Mullan) who stole the whole show as a Scottish police man.
