I am so bloody annoyed. This guy sold me his air guitar on ebay for 120 quid and I still haven’t received it 3 weeks later.

Talking to my mate, Alex from work today, I realized that stickfly kind-a looks like a the old 7-UP soda character – CoolSpot!

I’m shattered. I must have subconciously ripped him off at the time he was created :(

Last weekend we went with Jaimian to the Isle of Wight for a relaxing weekend away.

Damian was kind enough to take on the challenge of driving through the peak hour traffic on the way down from London Friday night. After a couple of car games, enough food to feed the cast of Fat Club for a week, and the most expensive 3 mile ferry trip of our life, we finally arrived at our wonderful country village B&B as the sun was setting.

The weekend was very relaxing. Lots of sleeping, walking, eating, sunshine and rain. Always good to get out of London for the weekend.

You can’t beat the clotted cream teas on offer in rural England towns.

Something odd is happening today in London. First, I jumped on the tube this morning and to see a funny looking grandma. She had grey hair, wore a terrible grandma type blouse, had tiny eeny glasses, a hunched back and a face of a 12 year old. It was quite odd, but I thought hey, she might have found the elixer of youth on the weekend. Good for her!

Then as I was leaving the tube station, I stumbled upon the opposite scenerio. There was this 12 year old girl with a 50 year old face. After this second sighting of the extremely weird, I thought I must be dehydrated or maybe I ate one too many clotted cream teas at the weekend.

I’m just hoping I’m in some kind of weird dream and I’ll wake up soon.
