Steve and Julie are off to foreign climbs, the thing I really respect about their decision is that it is mostly spontaneous and also the, “You only live once!” attitude that Steve admirably harbours. Their leaving party was at the Windsor Tavern last night and there was quite a turn out, met up with some old freinds including James Watts of all people who I have not seen for a L O N G time and he’s still as ugly as ever (only kidding of course…I still couldn’t bring myself to ask him to do a tortoise impression though). Julian Binks looking well, Lee Watson who I’m sure isn’t too affable or amiable with me as I used to fancy his wife! (before they were together). Forgot how sweet Julie is and what a lucky man Steve is, who was proudly showing off photographs of his son playing football and rightly so. I felt very Single throughout the night as everyone had their partners along with them and I was kinda towing along behind most of the time. Have some photo’s that I will upload later if they came out ok.
I’ve just learned something quite interesting, the term for annoying emails “SPAM”, originates from the Monty Python Sketch in which a restaurant serves all its food with lots of spam, and the waitress repeats the word several times in describing how much spam is in the dishes served on the menu. When she does this, a group of Vikings (don’t ask) in the corner start singing:
“Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, lovely spam! Wonderful spam!”
Please! No pretentious comments!

I was at the gym this morning for 3 hours, I nearly always spend 15 mins or so in the steam room afterwards which is relaxing and has menthol scented steam which is great for my nose/sinuses. Normally it’s empty and I can wander around making strange noises whilst swinging various limbs around. Though if there is somebody in there, or if someone comes in, I sit down very civilized and behave myself, occasionally a comment or a few maybe passed but I never start a conversation with a practically undressed man who has nothing but a towel/pair of speedo’s protecting his dignity. Having said that, this is a unisex steam room and the occasional woman does walk in usually in swim wear, but never the fit ones you see working out in the gym (tsk). Today however, there was a lady in there who was breathing purposefully deeply and making a lot of noise about it too, I found this quite irritating. One thing about the steam room is that it is made of plastic and the steam condenses all over the inside, including the ceiling, so every time the door closes quite a few large drops of water fall inside. So, I leave to get a cold shower close the door…hard, shower then return. 10mins later I do the same and she leaves….Yay! Room to myself. It maybe my antics had no effect whatsoever on her decision to leave, she might have just been hot.

Hmmm…Well things are changing once again, I have a bit of spare time on my hands, I’ve set up the laptop and all’s tickety boo. Errr… Chain’s back in the land of strange talking people and Hovis bread, I’m getting excessively bored and wonder what it is I will have to do now. My liver enzyme levels are up so I will have to knock the booze on the head otherwise I’ll end up dead, when I used to get bored I’d go down the pub which is quite boring really so I’d have to drink to enjoy myself. So now I will probably become a total nerd and immerse myself in some kind of adult education, that’s if they’ll let me in the door. This place is a complete shambles and I’ve made a promise to myself to organise it, I’ll write that on my ever growing “ToDo” list that i seem to have lost… Must also write on it, “Find to do list.”

Good lord I do talk some crap sometimes! But never mind, I will leave it posted and give myself a good laugh at some point in the future. You may notice the removal of the music file player as I couldn’t get it to work with IE…Never Mind Eh?

What is it I need to do now? I see Chris has made some interesting entries in his blog, check my links. Will anyone ever succumb to the fact that I am not a ninetafiver, and will I be able to persuade my peer’s that I need to be let free…

Well things have been set adrift as I predicted, maybe from now I will be able to calculate my self worth and do something of importance.
