I haven’t posted anything new on here for a couple of weeks cos it’s been a little bit hectic both socially and workwise. It was a long weekend two weekends ago and I ended up doing four days drinking in 10 pubs with a few mates.
Then the next weekend was the first day this summer where it’s actually been nice so I took advantage of it with a trip to see a bloody shakespeare play Titus Andronicus at the London Globe Theatre – it’s an almost exact replica of the original from Shakespeare’s time in nearly the same location
Afterwards I ended up in a party till 4am full of Greeks, Spanish, French and Dutch
Which reminds me a blog update: I’ve installed another wordpress plugin a while back but thought i’d mention it, to keep the spam out. It’s called Spam Karma 2 and seems to be doing a good job.
Monday afternoon saw Sri Lanka win the second test against England levelling the 3 match test series 1-1 where the first match was a draw. This will give the Sri Lankans huge confidence as England are currently number 2 in the test rankings. England on the other hand have a tough few months with the one day series coming up where they have not done so well and a test series against Pakistan.
Monday night was the first gig for French Car and the Bulimic Wizards who have been around in some shape or form for 10 years but have never played live. They have now made 4 albums as an unsigned band. It was a good gig with a strange combination of people there
I heard this morning that Mars Chocolate bars sold in the UK are going to be renamed “Believe” for the duration of the world cup to encourage fans to believe that England can win the 2006 Football World Cup which starts next week. In other world cup related news, I drew Ukraine in our office world cup sweepstake – somehow i don’t think i’m going to win the grand prize of £100 (Ukraine are 40-1 outsiders!)
And finally, I’ve been receiving a lot of invitations this week for people on myspace wanting to be my friend. Of the 10-15 who have invited me, I have known only one
Invitations? How? Through spam emails? 😮
The word out in cyberspace is MySpace is a waste of time and energy and full of exuberant kiddies. 😐
Agreed – i think i had a wannabe pornstar in one of the invites – gah can’t cope with it
And it’s a real pain with the messages people send you – like having another email address but more annoying
Speaking of drinking, had a bit too many beers myself yesterday afternoon/evening. 😛
This is where we went. There is a new law inQuébec making it illegal to smoke in public places like bars, restaurants, etc. and it is most delightful for someone like me that has lung problems. We used to go really early and leave as more and more people arrived. Now we can stay as long as we like without smelling like ashtrays, red and runny eyes and coughing ourselves silly.
