Just another manic monday

I think everyone has weeks like this, you finish all your work on friday but come monday 10am and the whole world seems to want a piece of you. Luckily it doesn't last all week. It's been great having Bradley over here. He arrived on Sunday and since then my liver has been threatening to resign. He's taken over Jak's blades and we were off to Battersea park to play around a bit. It's such a pleasure blading these days. I think we got in 3 skates this week. Friday is a 7 or 13 mile skate what we were planning on doing until the weather decided against it and turned dark and wet. So instead we went into central looking for some entertainment. Kev has been looking everywhere since he arrived for a club which plays good old rock/indie etc... sort of like the stuff kerrang plays (music video channel over here). So we ended up going to Metro bar bed rock in Tottenham Court Road... the club opens at 11 and closes at 4, so we were all in for quite a party.... unfortunately the second dj was playing some particularly strange music that most of us didn't know. So we hung around drinking vodka and coke at £1.50 a pop, which is quite cheap by london standards... however it comes in the tiniest cup, which is about 4 sips worth... So we called it a night there... raided the McDonalds for the last 6 quarter pounders and hailed a cab to take us home. Not quite realising that the ethanol they were feeding us instead of vodka had had more effect that we thought.... a trolley was found in the road on the way home, and that was the end of that.... Hey, trolley races at 2 am always seems like a good idea...
The notion of going to our place and finishing a bottle of scotch soon flew out the window and we sat around and chatted quietly till the sun came up.

Saturday we crawled out of bed and watched qualifying and then Lauren and Grant joined us to go and buy them some blades... while we had to wait for grants blades to be moulded Lauren and myself headed to KFC to pick up supper and then joined the guys in Hyde park for a picnic. Then we messed around a bit on blades and headed home... unfortunately having never been through Chelsea (read very expensive area) before we got a bit lost... kind of like 180 degrees lost.. and then it started to rain on us... so a bus was the way forward there.

Once back on terra firma without wheels we headed to the woodman for a drink and then back to our place to what "The Legend of Zorro" which really was terrible.
Sunday brought around the grand prix and after that we headed out to Waxy O'Connors to meet up with Dave Matthews who we haven't seen in a while.
Then home....

Summer is being a bit tempremental still, but hopefully it'll clear up and i'll be able to trade my pale white skin for something with a bit more colour.

For those of you who haven't noticed. I've started putting all our pub quiz questions up on one of my links, so if you are that way inclined, have a look and get that brain working.

It's now off to the fancy dress hire place to choose some drag outfits for the boys for Friday night for the Rocky Horror picture show... i'll put up pics for that in the next post.
