Past few weeks/weekends

Well this isn't going particularly well...

Past few weeks I have done a few things.

Went to Scotland, met Michelle McManus, saw Ricky Gervais, saw the Amateur Transplants, did the Edinburgh Fringe, revisited Glasgow, saw Stirling, had lunch in what used to be the post office, found that the Fubar was still there, Enigma had changed to "Dusk", saw the remains of the Shack, discovered my first year room in halls was now part of the kitchen, visited the old chalet, saw Bev + 2 small children, saw Babs, saw Alison, didn't see many other people.

Was good.

Since then - I've got back to work, slept, ate, and had my hair cut.

not having plans is exactly what i've needed.

International weeks in football suck.

NFL season starts this weekend.

I have no internet at home.

Bonus.

Last weekend and this weekend.

Well i'm not very good at this blogging lark...

Last weekend went to Wales.

Ate a traditional Japanese meal for 4 hours - and it was the best food i've ever had.

Had no internet/mobile signal so was blissfully unaware of the outside world.

It was glorious.

Only downside was the travel there and back...

This weekend am going to Scotland - floating between Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Stirling.

Should be good.

Also seeing Ricky Gervais' new stand-up and the Amateur Transplants.

Should be good.

No drinking for me this month at all - am away when its my friend's birthdays...

A lovely healthy month with lots of travel and activities...

Bonus.

A few weeks with no updates

Well I've been lazy. Lazy and fairly busy I suppose.

Had the wedding - it went well.

Didn't shit myself when giving my part of the best man's speech.

Had fun.

Am now back at work.

I can't really remember the rest of what I've done recently - but I'm sure it was fun and I'm fairly positive I spent too much time pissing about doing nothing.

This is all for now.

Bish Bash Boshed

Well this weekend just passed was my birthday. And I was expecting the usual 2 pints then water - but thanks to my lovely sister instead I was given a day off. And so I managed to drink and drink and drink. Which was actually a very pleasant experience.

It did come all too naturally tho - which was surprising -almost 5 months pretty much off the booze and the 7 pints of hoegarden and leffe blonde were fantastic.

I have missed the taste of beer actually, which I wasn't sure about until I was about 3 pints in... but to have good beer was the icing on the cake.

And talking of cakes - I have again my sister to thank for getting me some of the greatest cakes the world has ever known.

Candy Cakes is the greatest cake shop in the world.

I have one on my desk - its actually the one in the picture.

Mmmmmm Cake.

Anyways, this is pretty much all for now. No more booze til birthdays in August - of which there is currently one that I know of.

Stag Do Weekend

Well that was a busy weekend, after months of planning myself and the other 2 best men put on a treat of miraculous proportions... well it was pretty good.

We managed to humiliate the stag quite a bit - although not as much as we wanted to... we were actually fairly nice.

It was a successful weekend tho - lots of activities and laughs - there are also photos although none of me in a purple hat... which i managed to wear most of the saturday night!

I did spend a small fortune though and I am still tired from it almost a week later.

This weekend is my birthday, and as I don't really celebrate my birthday I'll be checking that others celebrate it for me.

My dad's over from Brazil which is nice - and the black sheep of the family is coming up from Cardiff which should be good.

Anyways - I am tired, lazy and currently poor so can't get out much this week.

This is all for now.

The Last Week/Weekend & An Interesting Frst Impression

I don't really update this very often anymore - I guess the novelty is wearing thin... and I'm getting my usual summer heat laziness.

However there are a few things that need to be written down as there were a few incidents that still make me laugh thinking about them.

The end of last week was taken up by not much work, our year end work do, and a birthday night out.

Work seems like a breeze at the moment as I don't have much to do compared to my 60 hour weeks so I get to relax, take breaks and even get away from my desk for extended periods of time.

So lets move on to Thursday night's work do. This was a very interesting and entertaining night - although I wasn't drinking at all this was the one night I've had so far that I've really wanted to drink.

It started fairly innocuously - we had invited the new intern to come out with us even though he wasn't starting officially until this Monday. So myself and the current intern were chatting to him and getting to know him. Other colleagues were really getting into the party mood and drinking heavily and quickly - this provided much entertainment for everyone as he was hilarious.

The new intern and the current intern were having a chat in the front window when I went out for a smoke - when I returned they had company, although this didn't last long as the young lady was soon escorted out... Curious we all tried to figure out what had happened and as it transpires this young lady had walked straight up to those boys and grabbed on by the arse, and the other by the balls and propositioned the two of them... One of them made all sorts of excuses why they couldn't even pulling out the last resort of claiming to be gay and involved with the other... Soon enough however the young lady was escorted out by the management.

Now that was a great first impression! Being molested by a random in front of everyone they work with... including the UK manager... These two were absolutely loving it though and proceeded to tell the story over and over again all night long...

The three of us soon ditched the work do and instead headed to meet the other interns in another bar. Still not drinking and surrounded by interns 6/7 years younger than me I really felt old! I met quite a few of them and they all seem pretty sound so all was good with the world.

Friday night was my mate Tommy's birthday, so I enjoyed my first pints in a month. Luckily for me we were in Zero Degrees so I could have some of my favourite drinks - Black Lager. There were some appearances of people I hadn't seen in a while which was really good - and I found out that a friend of mine had just recovered from swine flu, and that its not quite as bad as people think...

The rest of the weekend was spent sorting out my speech for the upcoming wedding - which could well be tricky as I won't be drinking - but I may have a word with my sister so that I can at least drink the toasts.

Writing speeches is hard, I sometimes stutter a bit too so I'm going to have to sort this out in a way that I'm not talking for too long...

I will be saving the missing kidney story for the Wedding itself - so this should be pretty good.

The stag do is this weekend and we have everything organised so hopefully it'll run without any hitches and everyone will enjoy it. Not drinking will be a bitch though. Hopefully I can make it through - although it may be handy having someone not pissed to help with the organisation and itinerary...

Fingers crossed...

The past few weeks

These past weeks have been busy. The weekends too.

I'm trying to arrange a stag do with two other best men, which is tough and we're having to sort this out and the best men's speeches...

Had ma's bbq on sat - in the roasting heat standing next to a bbq is not the most fun in the world - I must admit I was sweating like a rapist...

Anyways work has calmed down now - its a lot easier and I am now even slightly bored from time to time as i'm not constantly working.

That's about all really - been trying to organise a night out since May which looks like it may come to fruition this weekend - hopefully but these days you never can tell.

That is all for now.
