overheard

whilst in the bar on Friday night before heading off to the Burn’s Night Party. I was chatting with Captain Bootcamp – you know who you are… and he is talking about shaving – and here I have to quote…
‘you know when you have to get up at night to shave because your breasts are rubbing togehter and giving you stubble burn’
no I reply – honestly but then I had to ask if he shaves – you know all the way…
yes he replied.
eep I thought aloud!

thursday humour

In order to meet the conditions for joining the Single European currency,

all citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

must be aware that the phrase “Spending a penny” is not to be used after

31st December 2001. From this date, the correct terminology will be

“Euronating”.

london tea for london people

now call me a cynic but when I went into the kitchen today to make a morning brew I was confronted with complimentary packs of ‘2 free tea bags’ from the London Cuppa Ltd. The blurb states ‘At last a tea specially selected and blended, in London for Londoners.’ So erm how does that work? When did London become the connoisseur capital for tea?

night off

I had a night off last night – I’ve been painting and decorating for the past [year/month/week] I’m not sure which applies but it feels like longer – so last night I refused to pick up a paint brush – and now I feel so much better.
Although I do want the flat to look nice.
It’s wierd though as all of my friends seem to be going through a decorating phase and DIY phase at the moment. I just had my hall carpeted and am now repainting – scally is just getting his done, andrew is having his lounge done… B&Q must be making a fortune 😉

wendy and leslie

well another really nice night at the Retro Bar for their 5th Birthday Bash. reminded me of the good old days at the bridge with sand castles and the like!
Getting home – well not exactly home but… was slightly more traumatic we went via waterloo and ran down the escalators reaching the platform after the last northbound train had left the station. After a bit of a wander back to the other line north we realised we would need to get a cab – but I by then was desperate for a pee!

I just realised

that my birthday party on Feb 16th is also co-incidentally the 2 year anniversary of 8letters spooky or what? I think I may have to do something special – 2 years seems such a long time.

I missed this for world aids day

supershagland though has a witty flash game – not quite so addictive as the laser game from a few weeks ago.

weekend in review

Friday night in Ikea shocker! okay so you know you are past it when the most exciting thing that happens on a friday night is you and spence go to Ikea for food and shopping. Then onto Asda – I mean how low can I sink? Oh believe me it got worse as then I needed to put my newly bought furniture together and so I got to bed around 3. Sad eh?

Okay so I made up for a sad Friday night by having a brilliant Saturday night spent in the presence of the Ice Queen.

Remember the stag party in amsterdam? Well Ben and Vic got married last weekend in Sweden [at the icehotel™] and Vic wore a wedding dress for the occasion. This weekend they had the reception in York House and it was beautiful they had fake snow, ice sculptures and enough absolut to keep me happy. So they kept with the swedish and ice theme from the wedding. They truly made a stunning couple – and I don’t normally get all gooey at weddings but this one even had me mushy.

I was amazed how long it is since I saw so many of the people there as well. And they are all doing so much – Gavin even played in the band 🙂

blogger goes for the bucks

and I must say I am not suprised – blogger took off like wildfire and their traffic must be enormous and there is only so long you can continue something like that for free. So $30 or so a year for the service seems very little for what you get back in return – I’ve been using greymatter since september anyway so I’m not really affected. It does mean I guess I’ll need to move my archives over to this somehow – maybe putting all my old blogger posts into one posting at the start of GM but any other suggestions would be welcome.
