I’ve got a busy weekend coming up…
Firstly I’m out to friends this evening for another regular session of the N64 classic GoldenEye.
Then tomorrow lunchtime Super Leeds United take on Burnley. While I won’t be at the game tomorrow I will be listening on over the Internet on Radio Aire.
After that a friend of mine is coming round to watch some Egg Chasing (rugby) game. Apparently there is some big competition in the rugby world starting tomorrow – The 6 Nations or something. I’ve been told England are playing Wales.
If the Welsh rugby team are anything like the football team they will be full of morons (Craig Bellamy, Robbie Savage!) and be an easy win.
I’ve been assured it’ll be a tough match and interesting. We’ll wait and see on that, I’ve seen more interesting egg and spoon races than rugby games – not much difference between the two in my opinion.
The Six Nations of “Egg Chasing”
Still, good luck to England, win the country something, no other sports teams can! Jenston Button & David Beckham – I’m talking to you, just because you scored a penalty against Argentina it doesn’t mean you can pack it all in!
Finally in the evening I’m off to a work party at a social club in the hospital where I work. I’ve persuaded my rugby friend to go as long as I keep tipping drinks down his throat. Better than being on my own I suppose and if he drinks too much and needs his stomach pumped there’s always A&E around the corner.
I’m sure I’ll be back on tomorrow afternoon following the Leeds game, either moaning like a bitch if they lose or on a high if they win.
C’mon Leeds!
Tonight I went to the cinema, but not to see The Aviator as planned – I’m not complaining! Instead I went to watch Assault on Precinct 13 starring Laurence Fishburne (from The Matrix), Ja Rule (the gangsta rapper) and numerous other actors.
I thought it was a good action film, traditional of one you may have seen in the late 80’s/early 90’s (Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, etc). It made a change as it has been a good few years since a film in this genre has had a major released.
There was a lot of action and plenty of killings (to keep those lads in The League of Gentlemen happy). The plot was crap and very predictable but you come to expect this from these action movies and don’t really pay for the story line.
“It’s got more kill-INGS than Seven, but less kill-INGS than Titanic!”
All in all a good film, glad I went to see it, one I would recommend.
Some topics that really should have been covered last night but were left out to make room for the Terrorist Spider alert.
Last night I went out with family for my Dads birthday. We ended up going to a restaurant in town, The Walrus and Carpenter (or was it baker, butcher or candle stick maker?).
Anyway, this place came highly rated from my Dad. I was less than impressed. The place was certainly clean, no problems there, but it was small, tatty and the walls were covered in old posters. Now, this may be to some people’s tastes, but not mine.
The menu didn’t satisfy me either; there wasn’t a great deal of choice. I decided to go for an Organic Beef Burger with salad and chips. The salad and chips were lovely but I wasn’t pleased with the burger. Yet again it wasn’t at all bad quality and many people would have loved it. It wasn’t to my taste though. It seemed to be made of mince and was not fully cooked – kind of like a medium steak.
Although it wasn’t a bad quality restaurant, I will not be eating there again.
After the meal I went home to watch the Arsenal – Man United game. What a fantastic match, six goals, one red card, fights and a lot of passion from the players. The game finished 4-2, sadly to Man Utd although as a Leeds fan I still admit that the best team won – even though it hurts to say it!
I’m finally off to watch The Aviator tonight, wish me luck, sitting through a 3 hour Leonardo Di Caprio film, I’ll need it!
My fellow Sparkterians,
Last night I experienced a totally unprovoked and vicious attack from an enemy.
At approximately 2330 hours GMT, Monday 31st January 2005, I was lifting up a T-Shirt from the floor when a medium sized house spider ran from underneath.
This was a surprise attack from the spider and I had to act fast to combat the enemy. With the spider backing away from me and almost certainly ready to attack I raced for my arsenal of spider fighting weapons – a shoe and an aerosol of Raid Insect Spray.
With the spiders second attack immanent I attacked with full force spraying the enemy with the chemicals. This caused the spider to back off into the T-Shirt.
I knew the spider was almost certainly still alive; therefore it could not have been left. I had to remove the T-Shirt and the spider from my room.
Picking the T-Shirt up with my bare hands would be a bad idea. The spider was almost certainly intoxicated by the chemicals and even more dangerous. Had I lifted the T-Shirt it could have easily ran up my arm and attacked me with its own toxin.
I bravely put on some strong and sturdy shoes and kicked the T-Shirt out of the room and down the stairs into the bathroom with a vinyl wooden floor. There with a clothes rail and at arms length I carefully unfolded the T-Shirt hoping to find the enemy. It wasn’t there.
I retraced my steps up the stairs and noticed the spider. It looked dead, but to make sure it didn’t come back to get me and to prevent it from suffering (even my enemies shouldn’t suffer) I finished it off with my shoe.
I was on guard all night. Before bed I searched my room for more enemies – none were found. I also slept with a side light on so a darkness attack could not take place and placed the Raid Insect Spray by my bedside.
This evening, I am now downgrading the “Spider Terror Alert” from RED to ORANGE. I urge all of you in your own homes to be on guard against the enemy.
Just remember – “Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.”
Note: No animals were harmed in the making of this blog entry… apart from one spider which was killed quickly and only because it was him or me.
About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
