now this is what I call quite good

woo bought this CD yesterday and I copied it to my mini disc last night... and it's the best album I've heard in a really long time!

Imagine my surprise when I found out that The Stills were my fellow countrymen. Wow, Canada can acually produce something other than Alanis and Céline. And From MTL too... sweet.

Now stop reading and go out and buy!

I have just been re-named

by my flatmate... may I introduce myself as ... missy jarriot


*insert giggles here*

I had a lovely date last night with miss woo... we went to est est est in angel and it wasn't bad at all... two meals and a bottle of wine for 24£ not bad at all... It had been almost a whole week since I last saw her... I hate it when working like a mad woman gets in the way!

I've been sniffing about for places to stay in Barcelona when my sister and I are there in mid march. I found a groovy loft apartment that I think we may get... they even have a deal going for the week we're staying... stay three nights and only pay for two! sweet, you know how I love a bargain... There is just so much to do in Barcelona it will be hard to control ourselves as shopping in Spain means shopping for SHOES! Lord help us! Anyone have any other fun suggestions of things to do while in Barcelona?

how to save 20 quid...

I had a nice meal out with my co-workers who were in town from Austria and the Netherlands. We had a few pints at the posh pub near my work and then a nice meal at the French Brassiere just across the road from our office. I am such a lightweight when it comes to drinking I think I managed about 2.5 pints throughout the entire night... I fought off the temptation to take a taxi home with the money I didn't spend (as they expensed it) I took the tube home instead....

I was standing on the platform waiting anxiously for the train to arrive. 2 mins was what it said on the indicator... it was the longest 2 minutes... London underground clearly lies!

While I was waiting I spotted the cutest tiniest mouse I've ever seen in my life. It was no bigger than half the size of my pinkie finger. Just so ickle and cute. A few other people waiting spotted it too as it nervously flittered across the platform. The screams and agitation it caused were most fantastic... they were all sat on the benches with their legs curled up squealing... I can't stress just how tiny this little thing was.

The panic subsided a bit and a few more people walked onto the platform... it was kind of cool as this bloke walked by and spotted the tiny mouse peeking out from it's little hole... he looked at me and without words I knew he was trying to ask me if I saw what he did... I nodded and said yes, it's so cute isn't it? He agreed.

It's not often you have a quick friendly banter with someone on public transport in this city. but when it does happen, it's a nice thing.

So the moral of the story is... I saved 20£ and had a positive London moment!

eye spy...


last night when I was leaving work my boss and I spotted this lady ... at first we thought it was Iman but after some internet searching it was confirmed that it was indeed Grace Jones! I guess the spring thaw is bringing out all the celebs. It's been ages since we last saw anyone... this is south Kensington dharling!

i'm still in pain from my gym session the other day with luke... it was so funny, I was doing bench press in the 'boy area' but I could only manage to press the bar with nothing on it... mind you it did weigh 20 kilos without any weights on it... god how I laughed...

I'm thinking of opening my official pay pal support Sarah's bike repurchasing account ... now how cheeky is that? Feel free to be one of the first people to donate 50p... In no time I shall have a brand new tricycle... and my tube travelling days will be numbered. Join the revolution!

congrats

to Johnny Depp on his award for Pirates of the Caribbean. I'm not a big fan of big budget American films but I ended up watching the film at my cousin's place over the xmas holidays. Johnny was simply brilliant! The film lost me when it got to the whole undead crew business but that aside, it was all about JD!

The weekend was rather quiet as woo and I recovered from our colds...

I did however have an altercation with some drunk bloke at soblo near old street on Friday night... him and his friend felt the need to come barging up to woo and I and ask if he could join in our private snog... For some reason I thought that I would be able to reason with him and instead of telling him to F*off, politely explain to him why his behaviour was so out of order... so I say to him...

" hey there just wait two sec... what would you say if some bloke barraged up to you and asked you if he could join in while you were snogging your girlfriend? We're people and not objects for you to gawk at and barge in and join in with..."

The guy looked genuinely puzzled and pushed his friend away and told him to leave us alone... He reflected a few seconds and then said to me

"I'm sorry man but I've just never seen to birds snog in real life before"

I smiled and replied

"well the next time you do, you'll know what NOT to do, right?"

He then apologised profusely before leaning in and giving Woo a big kiss on the cheek and before I knew it he did the same to me... cheeky bugger... guess he didn't learn a thing...

*sighs* guess I can't change the world, one ignorant bloke at a time after all...
