# Well, after recovering from a fine hangover
(thankyou rob)

I learnt to drive a steam train this w/e.

Anyone else do anything exciting, apart from the watching paint dry which a lot of you appear to have been preoccupied with?

# I made a jar
of pickle. Now I have to try and not eat it before it's ready.

# what kind of pickle?
I went to the Science museum on sunday and it was ace.

# It was
"James' traditional homemade mixed vege pickle with way too much dill cos' my hand slipped", as eaten by royalty. Although admittedly it didn't take all weekend.

# that sounds pretty good... so
how long d'you have to wait? In 5 years time - you might try it, love that much dill, and never remember just how much it really was...

# I think it'll be ready
in about a month's time. I don't think I'll miss the volume of dill - there's a lot of greenery in that jar!

# I love the Science Museum
I once took some kids to a sleepover there with my g/f. It was a complete riot.
Although some lucky ones got to sleep next to the moon capsule, we instead got 'sleds through the ages' and a snoring bloke whose kids ran around screaming all night until I had words with them.

g/f and I got caught by a journalist behind one of the exhibits with a smuggled in bottle of whisky. We shared.

Watching 300odd kids doing origami at 8am before the museum re-opened was fun though.

# goddamn
I really want to do one of those sleepover museum things - the nat history museum would be cool for that too - i just think it would be weirdly creepy but great at the same time.
Not so sure about the kids tho. That's the only drawback!

# I once went to a rave
at a zoo near reading. It was really amusing dribbling on the grass the morning after and watching all these people turning up to see the lions and things.

# Excellent
I remember once the annual Thorpe Park staff 5-a-side football match/pissup leaving people sleeping all over the park - in rides, in tents, in Mr Rabbit's house etc.

We all then had to get up and do a full day's work before being able to go home for a shower even :( Ah to be that young again that you can just shrug it off.

Particularly nice was the poor sod who decided to have a go on the enclosed spiral tube kiddies slide, after someone had been sick down it.

# I know what you mean.
Why is it that at 22 I could party 26 hours a day, have 3 hours sleep a night all week and drink 8 pints with no hangover, yet at 28 I'm a vegetable if I try that.

Maybe that's why?

# yeah, I didn't go anywhere or do anything
all weekend. Stayed at home.
Didn't drink any booze.
No gin whatsoever. Really

# Well done
It is so nice to hear from people who live in such a clean and conscientious manner.
You are a credit to Brighton, Nacho.

Hope you got back OK.

# Shame really
think how much fun we could all have had if you'd come down to london and drank an ocean of gin.

never mind.
