Great weekend, bailed out of work slightly early and got the train to Mum and Dad's, for a nice long relaxing weekend. As previously mentioned, Clare was in London drinking and dancing with her friends, and definitely not lighting fires, and I was heading for a boy's night out in Fareham. Made good times on the trains, but it's still a four hour journey, and I had to sit on the floor for most of it from London down to Hampshire. So tea and chat and TV and then an early night really on the Friday.
Saturday went into Fareham in the day for a bit of a look and a shop. Not really much to see there, but I'd certainly not loiter in Folkestone town centre on a Saturday either. One advantage of everything being a bit pikey is that there's a super cheap greetings card shop there. I don't normally buy cards, but got a bit pressured into it, being in a crowd of other people who made out it was cool and that everyone else was doing it. At least that's only 29p I'll never see again, I'm pretty pleased with that, yes 29p greetings cards. If you think about it, they shouldn't cost much more than that. I hope this catches on, amazed Folkestone doesn't have one already. UPDATE: It does now, it's called Card Factory.
Saturday night, CURRY! At Cafe Tusk. Met up in The Fareham for a cheeky couple, that's a nice pub, for Fareham. Cafe Tusk was good, twenty pounds a head with drinks, eyes completely bigger than my belly as it turns out, I was sure I'd manage more platefuls than I did. Very good to see so many people in one go, we don't get together nearly enough. Probably they do, but I don't. Took a few pictures, not as many as I thought I did, and not sure the GPS was working properly, so this map:

probably isn't displaying properly. Are those pink route lines appearing in the middle of the channel for anyone else? Maybe all the satellites were off for maintenance at the weekend. UPDATE: sorted, I was importing Western longitudes incorrectly....
After the ruby we tried The Vanguard, but they didn't like the look of us, something about wearing trainers. I suspect they didn't want eight old giffers doubling the average age, their loss. Normally it would have been my default first choice for a place to meet up in Fareham, but it won't any more. We went to the Lord Arthur Lee instead, starting to head the opposite way out of town for me, but good beer on (it's a Wetherspoons) and open until 1am.
Sunday, boot fair in Bishops Waltham in the morning, then a nice big lunch with the family and a relaxing evening. Bit too relaxing at one point, I dozed off an ddid a bit of a spazzy twitch with a glass of red wine in my hand, which went all over the carpet and sofa, oops.
Monday, smooth journey back, achieved very little for a whole day off work. Grocery shopped a bit and cooked some tea, then was glad to see Clare at the end of the day, too long without her, ah bless.
Got some NEWS regarding the impending wedding of Clare's bro, it's now been moved forward, and will be on a yacht, in Key West, in April. WOO!

No idea of this chaps name, but I met him and his friends at the Bizkit Limp Bizkit gig... he'd pissed himself and sicked up all over himself, and couldn't even keep water down when I saw him, his mates reckon he'd had 16 pints of lager (Carling sponsored the day) and 4 Red Bull and Vodkas. I was on the cider, and felt fine, HA LIGHTWEIGHT! Oh yeah, he was only 16 apparently. If this was you, HIYA, I hope you're not dead!
Why am I such a spaz and why can't I take pictures properly with this camera? Every picture I take I end up doing a bit of a spazzy fit and flicking off to one side, so the focus of the picture is mostly cut off...

While I am talking about booze, we are well into Sutter Home Rose at the moment, it's great.
My other favourite bit of the Bizkit Limp Bizkit day was people lighting fires. The mongs (who were out in force, because it was free) felt the need to set light to paper cups, and security had to run round putting them out, I'm sure it would have made a great game and watch back in the day. Security were fighting a losing battle to beat the fire starters, one chap was getting quite frantic at
[*]being on his own
[*]only having a little fire extinguisher, and
[*]people running up and feeding the fire as he was trying to put it out
So he stropped and booted the fire, causing cheers. When his security mates turned up, more people were feeding the fire, so they turned the extinguishers on the crowd, ace!
Apart from this, this gig was rubbish. Temple Clause Cooper Temple Clause sounded alright, but we couldn't get close enough to the stage to see them, as half of the arena was cordoned off to those with special passes, so we just sat up the back and drank, and then left before Bizkit Limp Bizkit came on.
Best response of the day, by far, was when they played The Darkness between bands, hands were in the air all over the show...
