The 56
Or "That one off lost is dressed as a gay sailor and doing the YMCA"
So I had a very fun packed weekend. Which amongst other things included a trip to the mini zoo near mine. And it was well better then all my expectations. I didnt get to see many fish, although there where too many anyways but my favourite bit was the nocturnal part.
On leaving the zoo I decided to take the &co to see the monkeys at the side. I assumed that like always the cottontop monkeys would be tucked inside there little hut, nice and warm away from all the cold rain. When I got round the to the monkey cage bit one stook its head out of the hut and looked around. The second then jumped straight out and was followed by the first. They decided to jump and climb about the cage and looked almost a bit surprised by the rain. It was the most I'd ever seen the monkeys. I reckon it was down to the good luck of one of my friends. But I didnt care. I got to see the monkeys yesssssss. And so can you.
An ickle tiny monkey. awww
Today, the housemates decided we should go bowling. So moi and the girls (housemates) all met up after I finished work and went to the nearby bowling alley. I was a little unsure about bowling as my funds were a little low for the week, I was still a bit tired from a weekend of little sleep and hungry. But after only a few goes I was really enjoying the bowling. It was a lot of fun. I was even winning. Until about 10 minutes in when I suddenly picked up a method of bowling that ment all the balls I threw went down the sidey bits.
I ended up losing to the girls. Coming in last with a score of 56. This has made moi a little weary about bowling against friends that I promised games against. Hopefully the betting stakes won't be too high. I could lose alot eeek.
My bowling shoes. Aren't they nice.
Any ways, I hope you all had a fun bank holiday weekend.

So, blogging. Let's see.
After day's of trying to find a good sandwich place in town for moi to go to on my dinner hour I eventually found a nice bagel store. I spent about a week and half going there as with a special card every 7th bagel was free. Yesterday I got my free bagel (it was called the Californian and had mayo, turkey, tomatoes, coleslaw, some other dressing - Ed) and it was very nice.
I was told, at the weekend of another sandwich place that done quality sarnie's. Today I tried to find it.
I'm not sure if I found the right one, but the place I did eat at today didn't offer too much selection. Just the basics, ham, cheese, turkey and egg mayo, either with or without salad. I chose the turkey with salad, on a barm and sat down to eat it. The first thing I did was to remove the cucumber. I dislike these characters sooo much. When I opened up the barm, to my complete surprise there was grated carrot in there. Now I know that carrot does come with salad, but I never once thought about putting carrot on a butty. It was dead weird. I ate it, but I wasn't too sure about it. It was all a bit too strange.
The Being Single.
Or "What kind of discount do I get for booking online?"
So last night, I stayed up late, knowing that I could have a lie in this morning as I was working late this morning.
I got to sleep pretty much instantly and slept quite well. I only had to get up a few times to get comfy in my hammock last night.
But this morning, about an hour before my alarm was set to go off a big giant wasp buzzed in my room and woke moi up. It decided to stay in my room for a few minutes. It even on a few occasions tried to attack moi so I had to hide under my blanket.
I got a little annoyed and opened up all the windows in my room. But instead of taking the hint the wasp decided to just try and walk up the window buzzing as loud as it could disturbing my lie in.
After a few minutes of moi giving it the evil eyes I think the wasp felt my cold look upon its back and decided the best option was to fly out of the window to escpae my icey glare....
This morning as I headed in to work a nice young lady in a red tshirt was handing out stuff to people. She turned and seen moi and handed moi a little flyer. It was a single's night. Now is there something about moi that shows that I'm single. Does she have an instinct in knowing which people are single or was she thinking why would any one date this guy?
Or was she just being payed loads to hand out all her flyers and seen moi walking past?
Either way the idea of a Singles Night is stuck in my mind. Now a Singles Night would be a great experiment moi thinks. It's time's like these that I wish I had one of the lads from back home around so we could investigate in to what happens at a singles night? Who goes? Is it busy? What do people think of it?
Seeing as Showbiz aint here, have any of you lot been to a Singles Night?
The Tickets
Or "I have visions.... sharks with knee's."
Whilst waiting for Top Gear to start back on our screens last night I caught the last few minutes of Top of the Pops. Yes, I know that there is a comedy in between, so I know there is a huge continuity mistake. So I caught the last five minutes of TOTP and unfortunately got to witness some dire song. Firstly there were four large breasted girls in very small school uniforms bouncing around old style desks and flashing their thighs. The artist...and I use the term loosely, was some middle aged man who I can only hope was having a midlife crisis and rapping on pre-teen music show. Could he bee the next Glitter? I decided to have a look and find out who this character was? And apperently he is the UK's entry to this year's Eurovision song contest. His name is Daz Sampson. See spelt with a 'Z,' how hip is that, and I highly recommend you check out his site and blog to see what the "People's Champion," (as he puts it - Ed) is up to these days. Plus the photo is amusing and looks like he is having a shit. I haven't seen the video yet...but I think I best no as I may be dismissed from w*rk for having viewed kiddy porn.
Has anyone else seen this? I don't who will be watching his video more, fathers or daughters?
In other news, there is a video of one of Radioheads new songs, Bangers and Mash available to download. Other new songs, Arpeggi, Bodysnatchers and Cymbal Rush can be found here. Although I have heard Arpeggi previously I havent yet had the chance to download the Bodysnatchers/Cymbal Rush.
After viewing the above video Im really excited/scared about V. I can't wait to see Radiohead play on the Sunday night. The final act on the last day after a hectic weekend, it's goign to be very memorable. Althoguh I will be experiencing this alone...or at least with no one I've known longer then that weekend. Plus I'm still not sure who is playing V, I had a quick look and Girls Aloud are playing, that should be fun ;-) And I know I'n purpoesly heading as far aware as I can when Morrisey is on. But other then that I'm not too sure who is playing.
So what festivals are you guys going this year?
The PS Wii (We)
Or "So you like stealing my plans do you?!"
I think this morning, like alot of Nintendo fans, I'm in complete shock about Sony's new controller. Have they simply pinched Nintendo's idea of having a motion sensored controller? I'd like one person out there to explain how Sony went from the 'boomerang' controller to the new 'old style motion sensor' controller without ripping off Nintendo's idea's.
Just one person and I'll be satisfied and take away my comment that Sony have no originallity when it comes to the games market. I think I'm most shocked at Sony themselves think they will be able to get away with the whole new controller design and say it was all their idea.
The problem is, is that Sony will get away with robbing Nintendo's idea's. They have done in the past and I bet it won't be long until Sony release information regarding their new and original "Virtual Console" where players can download and play for a short time any of the PS's back catalogue.
The only people that lose out are Nintendo, for having such a great and unique idea for their Wii.
Although simple being able to only tilt the controller won't match with the freedom that everyone will have when using the Wii controller.
But still it is annoying to see Sony ripping off any idea's that they like but you kind of expect it from Sony.
Anyway that's my rant over, grrrrrr!...now I'm going to sit and see what comes out of the E3 over the next few days. I bet Sony will be looking to see what other idea's they can steal too.
The Alternative
Or "See, this is what happens when you have an opinion."
I've been drinking alot of UHT milk lately. More then I have previously. I even think that I didnt drink this much UHT milk when I spent two weeks walking through National Parks and sleepign in youth hostels.
But what do you think would happen if you did nothing but drink only UHT milk? Would you get some mutations from drinking UHT milk? Would you put on loads of weight? Would you get the shit's? Or would nothing at all happen?
I dare someone to drink a small carton of UHT milk. Go on!
Also pilling up on my desk is a small wall of free Metro newspaper's...would anyone like a copy of last weeks news?
The Washing Machine
Or "I wonder if this is linked to Blaine in anyway?"
So the girls have had a bit of an arguement. This all happened the other day when I was asleep. It was over something minor and a few heated words were said. I was told about this yesterday. But I feel it has nothing to do with moi and I should stay out of the way. Is this the right thing to do? Ignore the housemates? I'd hate to take sides. But I'd hate for them to think that I'm ignoring them. Thankfully though I've hardly seen them in the last 24 hours. I don't know if this is because they're both "making plans" just so they can stay out of the house. But at least it means I don't have to be stuck in some aftermath making up talk....I hope I don't get invited out to the "let's be friends and really good housemate's" make up drink. Don't get moi wrong, I like going out for drink's with the girls, just as long as there is no other motive for the drinks, ie showing that we can get along together.
Thankfully though neither of the girls are mad with moi. This is depsite moi breaking the washing machine this morning. I now have to go home and spend half an hour unscrewing the back off the machine just so I can get my clothes out...I hope they dont smell damp. I hope they get dry before tomorrow, otherwise Ill have no pants for work. And I cant come to work with no pants on, at least not as I havent worked there longer then a month.
But at least I can forget my housemate worries for the weekend. The boys are visiting from Runcorn...well one is. So I can have a proper night out now...on next to no budget.
