On Friday I went to a friend’s leaving drinks (Lloyd’s), a good turn out but not nearly as good as mine. I think I had the best part of 60 people.
Saturday I went for lunch at the Jolly Gardener with Steve and April, then drove all the way back to Corby for my cousin Joely’s 18th birthday party. Luckily Steve was driving and April had lent me here laptop for the weekend so I was able to play FM for both journeys.
I went round my dad’s for a bit to have a look through all my stuff that was up in his loft. I found my bendable Watto, old Reading uni photos and letters and a litre beer glass.
We eventually got to the Corby Supporters Club for the party at around 7:30, it wasn’t very busy at that point but it certainly filled up later. One good thing about the place was that it had a barrier around the bar which created a queuing system. Excellent! Why doesn’t every bar have one of them?
When it came to giving our cousin the card and present we hit a stumbling block, we were told she was sitting by the table by the bar but when we got there, there were 15 almost identical 18 year old girls all done up for a night on the tiles. Luckily Joely recognised us which saved us a lot of embarrassment.
It was a good night really as 5 out of 7 of my Mum’s brothers and sisters were there which was nice as we rarely all get together like this.
After the do, we went to what used to be Mr Ques but is now a night club, in there we saw a few of the older rugby lot so it was a good laugh too. I left at around 12, but Steve didn’t get in till 5:30. He ended up having a few more drinks round my Auntie’s.
Sunday was chilled out, I finally got back to London at about 2, then lay on the couch all afternoon till I ordered a takeaway then watched 24 (which was excellent) with April before having an early night.
Overall it was a good weekend but I can’t help feeling like I didn’t really have one. I think all that travelling has taken it out of me. I do not know how I did it for rugby for so long in the past.
My people call me the dude. I share my teachings in the passages below... (along with many typos, grammatical errors and lazy writing)

Bill Bailey
I'm going to book tickets for Bill Bailey for myself and April tomorrow morning.
Wembley Arena 29th November
I'll give you all a buzz in the morning to let you know how much it costs but i'll book them. You can pass on the money later.
I'm actually back this weekend for my cousin's 18th so can meet up on my home if you want and you can pay me.
Ian, you can have your axes back too.

First post from a mac
April's left her apple laptop round mine so I thought i'd have looksee around the old internet thingy. Whilst i'm here I may as well update my journal.
Currently sitting on the sofa watching the footy with a beer in my hand.
Oh, the life I lead...

Ignore the seriousness of the case and focus on the first part of the last sentence.

He denies two charges of administering a poisonous or noxious substance with intent to injure, aggrieve or annoy.
Although I don't do any administering of poisonous or noxious substances, unless alcohol is included, I have on occasion been known to annoy.
What's the world coming too if you're not allowed to annoy anyone? That's half the fun. Maybe i'll get an ASBO...

DEFCON 5
WARNING! WARNING! DEFCON5
Our air conditioning has stopped and we're all sweating like sweaty things.
Yuk!
Our air conditioning has stopped and we're all sweating like sweaty things.
Yuk!
Promoted!
We had the final of our end of season play-off on Saturday. We ended up winning 45+ - 0! Ha, ha! We are far too good for the league so it was only a matter of time really.
Hopefully next year will be a bit more of a challenge.
You'll all laugh when finally the picture of the cup turns up on my moblog. It's massive...

What a beautiful day...
What a great day and what a wonderful way to end a lovely weekend.
I can't fault the weather it's been unseasonally warm, 20 since Thursday and according to BBC it's set to continue all the way till next Friday at the very least. I really do feel better when it's nice outside.
Thursday I was let out at work at 3pm, which was good considering I had a two hour lunch break. It was the last day before his wedding of a old work colleagues wedding so we had lunch time beers over in Leadenhall Market. In the evening we'd hired a couple of pool tables in a city pub so about 15 of us amused ourselves with beer and playing rubbish pool. I ended up going home for a curry with April at about 9.
The girls (flatmates) were both away all weekend so we had the place to ourselves all weekend. On Friday we went for lunch at a cool bar called Moombar then bought a tool kit and a bbq, see moblog.
Saturday, went back to Moombar for breakfast then bought some bbq food from an organic meat stall in Putney. Still no gas though so Steve came over to give us a hand in finding / taking it home. No luck.
Sunday we went for a long walk around the North and South banks between Barnes and Putney, stopping off at a few of the lovely pubs along the way.
Today I am determined to finally find some gas so am on an internet search for shops that sell it. Hopefully the camping shop Millets on the High Street will have some, it's either that or traipsing over to a B&Q or something.
