Rambolic

Thursday, electric went dodgy in the evening. Lights dimmed for a minute or two and fecked by router. Went to band practise and played some meaty licks (though not many) and went to pub for food. Friday bought a new router. Wireless connection’s questionable so might be getting it replaced – undecided. Saturday we drove to Bracknell and headed straight off to Camden to see 7 Seconds of Love (see Rather Good link on the right) – great gig. Managed to skank the train company by deciding to pay on the train, to find they weren’t manned by a conductor (inspector, whatever they’re called these days), so that saved us £30 or something stupid. On the train home was some hyperactive middle-aged Cockney who decided he’d give us all the meaning of life. He was quite worrying at first, but he was all right… I think. Don’t start a conversation about politics with a Cockney though – bad idea. The train did a weird u-turn thing too… We set off in the wrong direction and still ended up back where we needed to be. Half the people were freaking out, most of all the Cockney. Sunday we drove to Nuneaton to see some of Andrea’s family and eat some. Drove home and slept some. Today worked and spent half the day pissing about with the settings for the live chat thing we’ve got on our website. I’m guessing the management don’t mind otherwise they’d have taken the admin privileges off me before now. After work decided not to go to the pub, but was nagged (a single phone call did it) so we set off. Obediah Brooke was shut, so we went to the New Inn. That was shut (wtf?!) so we went to the Brickworks. That was open. I ordered food – Chicken Tikka Masala. They had none, so I opted for the lime marinated chicken. They had none of that so I settled for the veggie burger. I think companies hate me in general. Tomorrow I’m off to a Microsoft conference. Should be mildly interesting. We’ll see. No free bar like the Netgear one though – boo!

That was one damn big paragraph…
