Updating My Bog After Stooping For A While
Good morning! If you've read Maria's comments on Lis's blog and my blog, then you'll understand the title.
Let's see, I haven't updated my blog for almost three weeks!!! Wow, how amazing is that?!? I must apologise to my loyal fan base - the many comments I've received have been an inspiration to blog. After all, you're the reason I blog. No, really you are. Obviously I don't enjoy it in the slightest.
I am a bit daunted about updating, because 3 weeks is a long time and I'm not sure I can really be bothered to tell you all about it, so I'm thinking I might just do some highlights.
Ciao!
I went to France, Monaco & Italy with Nigel, Esther, Loz, Maz, Adam, Luke and Nathan. Had a really good time. We were living it up in Nice (France), and hopped over to Monaco and Italy on the train for day-trips. Saw a famous person's yacht (though it was more like a cruise-liner; it had a helicopter on top!), some gorgeous cars (Aston Martin DB9s - two of them!), saw some *really* beautiful, sparkly sea, ate lots of cheese and sampled various wines/cocktails (White Russian...mmm).
While there, Nathan and myself played a game which I am about to dub, "SmartCiao". If you saw a SmartCar you shouted "SmartCar!". This included SmartCarRoadsters and SmartCarForFours. If you saw a moped/scooter thing then you shouted "Ciao!". If you saw a "Ciao" (which is what we started calling mopeds) with two people on it, then you shouted "Ciao-Down!". This was really fun - you could get combos. E.g. "Ciao-Down, SmartCar!". All of this game was played using "Beavis & Butthead"-screamy-style voices (well...really it was just Beavis-style voice..he's more psycho, and Butthead's is just plain hard). This was great fun in Italy because there are nothing but "Ciao"s everywhere! CiaoCiaoCiaoCiaoCiaoCiaoCiaoCiaoCiaoCiaoCiaoCiaoCiaoCiaoCiaoCiaoCiao!
We have come up with a UK version of the "Ciao" part of the game; "Chav" ;)
(for those non-UK readers who don't know what a "Chav" is - click here - the teenage Chavs tend to ride around on moped/scooter things that are painted like racing motorbikes, but have a top speed of 35mph: downhill. Or at least that's what they're like in Bristol.)

Last Week
Last week was pretty good! Work went really quickly due to a shed-load of work. If you're about to ask what a shed-load is; it is the amount of something that will fit into your standard garden shed. So if you had a shed-load of money, then you're stinking rich and you're laughing. However, if you had a shedload of adult elephants then that's not even a whole elephant. But you'd still be laughing.
Thursday & Weekend
Thursday was one of the best days last week - my gorgeous girlfriend came home and I got to see her again! It was fantastic! I've seen my lovely Lis every day since then - bliss :) Won't get to see her today though :( oooh, that reminds me to remind her...
....LIS - GO TO THE SUPERMARKET AND GET FOOD!!!
ps - you're gorgeous :)
Cartoons
I managed to find a complete box-set of all Futurama for a cheap price!! I've been watching a fair few of those. I also watched some Family Guy, and had forgotten just how funny it is! Grr, I wish my memory was better so that I could quote it; it had me in stitches yesterday!
Crash
On Friday night, a few car-loads of us went to Pizza Hut to munch after youth club. I needed the men's room at the end, so my car left later than the other two cars. As we were going around the ring-road, we spotted a couple of cars crashed into the barriers on one of the round-abouts! Tom had lost control on the round-about and Chris had gone into the back of him. Nobody was hurt whatsoever (except some bruises on John's leg) - thank-you Jesus!), but both cars look like they're going to be written off. I feel really bad for you Tom :( you were really unlucky and it really sucks that it happened :( I'm glad you've got fully-comp insurance.
Playin' The Bass
Got to play my bass yesterday - mmm. Tonight, at worship practice, we're going to be learning "Majesty" by Delirous. "Harriet" taught me the cool bassline for the verse in my piano lesson, and he did a lil instrumental at church yesterday at one point..I joined in *grin* - so much fun to play. Lis: it's still in my head, LoL.
Work
Right, I suppose I'd better do some work now that I've finally updated for you demanding people. It's been fun.
