Is it considered a threadstomp if it's 4 hours later?
I don't think so.

Today is my last day in this job, and my last day of work before I get married. Exciting stuff.

What have you got to be excited about?

alt: apparently we should be able to see a supernova this week. Does this interest you?

Saturday night
is Baby Wants Candy at Leicester Square theatre. I waited 6 years to see this show and this will be my second time in 3 weeks, so therer's that.

And Sunday I am taking my 5 year old niece to Legoland. I am less excited than I am full of trepidation, mind.

alt: Super what now?

I think I've found a real copy of Scroobius Pip's new album, Distraction Pieces.
I'm buying it when it comes out in a few weeks, but I'm looking forward to listening to it.

Yesterday I meet up with Clendrix who is the most lovely person in existance, we went to see the inbetweeners movie, which had quite a few laugh out loud moments but wasn't as good as the TV show.

I've got to get a t-shirt or hoodie that says "pussay patrol".

thai fish sauce contains anchovies
I suspect you'd get fairly short shrift suggesting that one of the ingredients of thai green curry was anchovies.

If I'd have meant it had nothing tomato-based in it I'd have said "no tomato" not "no tomatoes".

Congratulations!
And congratulations again! I hope the rest of your life is equaly happy and exciting!

I'm excited about so many things right now that I have lost the power to feel anything but waves of stress from time to time. I can't even get upset (and my sister is definetily deserving a good upsetting from me). Looking for a new home next Saturday, in Worthing. Selling Mark's house in Sale and moving all the stuff. Moving from Redhill to Worthing, all that before October if possible. Then the baby should arrive. Then, in 4-6 months from now, we should be moving again, somewhere exciting and with a promotion for Mark... far too many things.

I'd like to see the supernova but it seems you need binoculars, and I have none. And more importantly, even if I could get some, it needs to be clear sky, and that's not going to happen, is it?

I am going to Alton towers on Sunday
staying in a hotel and getting fucking bladdered before going to the theme park in the morning and playing on rides all day and I don't have to do any driving and will have no children with me so I will be consuming many things in excess in a consequence free environment.

Seeing a supernova actually does interest me a lot! More than your wedding in fact. I remember how exciting things were before my wedding but they change once they have that ring, they swear they won't and you don't believe they will but they do, then one day you find yourself with the knife in your hand standing over the body and you have no idea how you got there and you have to dispose of the body and somehow convince her family that she moved to Saudi Arabia with one of those princes from the shitty books she reads and is never coming back then the police question you for ages but they can't charge you due to lack of evidence and no body, you can't get any life insurance and because you now have two kids to support on one salary you lose the house and end up living in a crummy rented flat with everyone whispering behind your back that they know the truth.

And that is why you shouldn't get married.

Yup, and since there's a food festival on
we should be able to subsist entirely on free food samples. I'm really looking forward to it.

I may have to go to Jorvik Viking Centre. I haven't been there since I was about 9.

I had fantastic food at The Golden Fleece in York
although that was over 10 years ago.

Any more recommendations like this would be gratefully received.
Last time I was there I walked around for a bit, got a McDonalds and then had my gearbox explode.

Is that a euphemism?
Did she charge extra to "Explode your gearbox"?

I'd have to say Edinburgh on that score.
Going up again in October. Thank you £19 Travelodge rooms and cheap train tickets!

Edinburgh is also very good but I prefer the wanders round York

Oh, I like York too.
But the architecture in Edinburgh blows me away every time.

Where do you go boozing in Edinburgh?

A few places.
Black Rose on Rose St, Whistle Binkies, the Scotsman (a dive but good crack), Guildford Arms, maybe down the Grassmarket. Depends on what we fancy really.

I went to the Gary Rhodes restaurant at the top/bottom there many years ago. FUCKING NOM

Ah, that would be why then.
We went to the Hard Rock Cafe last time we were there as a treat for Sweary Jr. Expensive but I fucking love their burgers. My father-in-law, being the curmudgeonly old misanthropic hard to please grump bag that he is reckoned that McDonalds burgers were better.
