 Excellent weekend thanks - had micro for the whole weekend. Very tiring though.
	Excellent weekend thanks - had micro for the whole weekend. Very tiring though. Alt: had quite a few, but this one stands out; blind date about 9 years ago. I'd arranged for a mate to call me about an hour in to the date, so I could make an excuse to leave if she turned out to be dull or visually offensive.
You know sometimes that you can overhear what is being said to someone on their mobile? Well that happened. My mate's rather loud words were 'stick or twist? Babe or minger?'
The dated ended about 3 minutes later.

	I don't remember too much of the weekend.Sadly, this is due to sheer exhaustion. And possibly age-related memory loss. But mostly exhaustion.

 Curate's egg of a weekend
	Curate's egg of a weekendSaturday not bad with some beer and remarkably good, simple pub food. Sunday, G/F turned a simple 1&1/2 hour job into a 4 hour marathon, there was very little beer, a hospital visit dodging the chavs in Nuneaton followed by a stroppy teenager giving a full-on tantrum defending the shite that is X Factor.

 Yeah, I know
	Yeah, I knowMy two daughters were exactly the same. However, as the G/F's daughter is an only child, G/F hasn't gone through it before and is panicing. I've told her it's like training a dog - use as much persuasion as you can but never tell them to do something unless you are prepared to absolutely insist - and dogs learn more quickly.

 It's a mix.
	It's a mix.After buying a new camera and telling various members of my family, I've suddenly found myself the owner of a number of useful bits of kits, including the largest flash I've ever seen.
I've also discovered that my company have been giving me pay rises without my knowledge, presumably inflation adjustments. This does, however, also mean that I'm even crapper with money than I thought.

	My weekend could've been faxed ahead from the weekend before it, and the weekend before that...I don't think I've ever had a proper date. Closest was when I met a girl in a nightclub and she invited to go to the beach with her the next day. Her sister drove her to pick me up, saw me standing waiting in my DMs, black t-shirt, black jeans and spiky multi-coloured hair and her sister said "D'you just want me to keep on driving?"
I wasn't much of a beach person, truth be told, and at that time I might have owned one grey item of clothing to break up the black and flip-flops could fuck right off. 13 years of marriage later and I now look like every other dad on the beach and insist on getting the most garish Hawaiian shirt I can find every year just to piss her off.
