Back From Amsterdam!

Well, I got back on Sunday night, and I have to say I wish I'd stayed longer! The hotel was great, and at 75% discount thanks to my sister, and the sights were brilliant! I especially liked the Canal Bus which would slowly guide you to those spots of most relevance, such as Anne Franks House, the Reiks Museum, and most importantly the flea markets! At night we travelled through the Red Light District, as every visitor must, and had a good laugh watching the prostitutes dancing in the windows. We'll have to go back there again one day, as there were a few places we just didn't have the time to visit! Pictures coming soon...

Avenue Q - Filth With Puppets!

Almost forgot - I went to see Avenue Q last friday with Tracey and Saf! This show is just the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. The performers were brilliant, and it's amazing how they manage to swap puppets without you noticing. Some of the great songs included "It Sucks To Be Me", "Everyone's A Little Bit Racist" and "The Internet Is For Porn". Featuring characters like Princeton (who wants a purpose), Kate Monster (who wants a boyfriend), and Lucy The Slut (who wants to make you feel good), this has the markings of a timeless classic - I look forward to the movie adaptation!

So, if you've got the time and the money, go and see it! It's fantastic!

Happy Birthday Jo!

On Saturday a bunch of us went to Vauxhall to celebrate Jo's 27th birthday, which is today! We went roller skating, which was terrifying cos I haven't skated since I was about 10, and that was only on carpet! Anyway, a fun time was had by all, and I didn't fall over once! Hooray!

Off To Amsterdam!

Wow, it's been almost a month since I bothered with this thing. Oh well! Good news, I'm off to Amsterdam next friday with my lovely lady Tracey - should hopefully be a fun filled weekend of sightseeing and not being at work! Hooray! I'll post any photos when I get back...

My Lovely Nephews!

I went to visit my sister in Loughborough over the weekend and met my new nephew for the first time - he's lovely! Here's Freddie and Alexander looking cute!



Aw, bless! Alexander's getting big, he's only two and a half! And Freddie's only three months the fat little thing!

The Gang's All Here...

...Well, five of us anyway! Not the most successful school reunion, but good fun catching up with the likes of Naweed, David and Adam. Maybe for the next reunion we can even get Paul along - but alas he failed to turn up. Not sure why though, must ask Saf!

Come Fifth, Win A Bag Of Peanuts...

I wish! Last night saw just me and Ben attempting to win the weekly pub quiz - a measly £50 was up for grabs, but could we win it? Could we bollocks! We came fifth out of 9 (slap bang in the middle, rhymes with average) and didn't EVEN win a bag of peanuts. And after all those bags of Burt's crisps I bought too. What a swizz! Well, here's hoping next weeks winning team don't get the jackpot cos I probably won't be there, but the week after... that £150 will be mine! Bwah ha ha!
