Cov Weekend

Aaaaah, there's no feeling better than having a Monday off work. Came back from my weekend in Coventry last night, had a really good time. Saturday afternoon was time to go and see Borat in the cinema, and my word, that film is hilarious. There were so many jokes I don't know where to start, but one of the best bits is where Borat learns from some homeboys on how to speak gangsta, and then proceeds to order a room in a hotel by going up to the guy behind the counter (with trousers hanging low) saying "What's up with it vanilla face?". It's a must see, if only for the scary right-wing views that many Yanks seem to have.

Later that night was time for a trip to Leamington (including running through the station because we were late and me almost getting on the wrong train!). Leam was quality, hadn't been to Jug and Jester in aaaages, and I was able to introduce the others to the delight (and addiction) of Crack Up on the quiz machine. Onto TJ's (?) and there was much drinking and merriment. There was only one way to end a night like that- back to Castle Harper and playing Pro Evo into the early hours.

I received yet
another present this week; Jen and her boyfriend Paul got me the Young Knives album!



They asked if I liked them, and I proceeded to show them how much I did. I thought they made a lovely couple on the Saturday night, but this gesture was definitely the icing and cherry on the cake.

Speaking of which, I got the following picture msg from Jiggles on my way up:


"i bought this for you but i'm hungry. sorry."

It may have been his birthday, but that was
low.

Possible inventions to make my millions:

Urinal cash machine:
Exactly what it says; a urinal built underneath a cash machine. Enter your pin, take a leek, grab your cash, and instead of a receipt you get given a alcohol wet-wipe to clean your hands.

Balmy ticket:
Parking tickets which are coated in a thin film of lip balm. You pull up to the barriers, take your ticket, put it in your mouth, get in gear and drive into the car park. Why not smooth your lips while you're doing it?

Just to clear something up, 'MV goodness' means My Vitriol goodness, and is not a reference to Nirvana ;)
