I have so much to write, but so little time to write it this morning... Friday night... out on a fantastic night with Damo and Tommy. . Tommy's friends joined us too which made for some good chat... interesting thoughts aswell. I think we we're in Fuel bar and some other bars in Birmingham city, great venues... I was drinking Vodka and cranberry juice from a Brandy Glass at one stage... Danced for an incredibly long time... Talked to some girl about how happy we were in our relationships... Got a lift off some strangers.... Obtained an extra coat..... Damo almost got in a fight, for no reason... and not out of his doing. There is a certain cultural plague that haunts a percentage of young English males, whereby when infected they tend towards a more violent social outlook. Damo encountered one such individual who was just destined for trouble. All you have to do is listen to these people for just a second and you become involved in a fight. Thankfully we'd talked about this plague phenomena earlier in the day. No offence to any law abiding citizens based in the UK but I've seen this every time I've been to England. There's always one A$$hole that wants to start a fight just because they've haven't got the intelligence to just get something to eat and go home. Thank god for the chat earlier... Devil boy just walked away and sometime soon after that we got into a cab bound for home...
We got back and I climbed a tree... .. . . much to my dissapointment and self injury.
Saturday morning, heads were yawning... Tommy went for accupuncture and we went for a train... Thankfully Nicci (tommy's other half) brought us to the train station... via several ATM's... we waited for a train for an hour... Played an advanced game of cards called Snap... Oh the memories ...
Onwards to london, compliments of Virgin slow trains.... then the
We get through this underground network of tubes and tunels without so much as an explosion or poisoned gas attack... - Should you need a map please follow the link http://tube.tfl.gov.uk/content/tubemap/images/tm_quad_2h_0309.gif
We came out at covent garden tube station... there was a queue for the lift so myself and Damo and some hundred or so other people decided to take the stairs. Strangely, there was a sign warning of the amount of steps to the top. We didn't worry we just pushed on upwards. I wished I'd taken a photo of that sign cause by the top I was almost dead. There were several people stopped along the way. .
Some strange fellow has put the sign up on the internet... I found it after much searching this AM
Next stop .... walk around for a bit and find Fuel Bar.... without a Map. It took us a bit of time but we found it eventually.

Not very interesting looking here but the food was nice, ps you only need one pizza and one garlic bread for two people. Oh and of course one bottle of VINO.
There was a carnival Atmosphere in the air with the london Samba School showing up and flaunting their dancing skills... among other things....
We Hooked up with Damo's Work mates.... all quite sound really... Had a few beers and a great laugh. I can't remember everyones names which is a shame, but soon you'll see many photos posted here of that day spent drinking and mostly laughing...
It was a good day on saturday...
We caught a Cab to Heathrow, then flew home.... Just one word of advise to BMI airlines.... Cheese and pickle is not nice.
Its Monday, I'm in work, I haven't had a fag all day
